R E P 0 R T 8 Of the Visitors of Schools for the Western and Eastern Sections of Prince Edward Island. for the year 1861-8. Published pursuant to the Act 20th Vic., Cap. 5. Minute of the Board of Education—Adjourned Meeting, March 2nd. 1868.

The reports of the School Visitors for the past

car were considered, pursuant to the order of

not monthly meeting; when the Board agreed.

1. That extracts of the report of tho Visitor for tho Eastern Section, to 101' with his statistics, be laid before the Le turn; first eliminating from his returns the quotations from reports of the Rev. Dr. Ryorson, on military drill in the Schools of Canada, together with other paragraphs reint- ing to Schoolmastcrs’ associations and “ Trustees reports,” and also some details of a proposed sys- tem of gradin schools in thc city—of no immc~ diutc practice utility.

2. That the Report. including the statistics of the School Visitor for the. Western section, be also transmitted to the Legislature for their informa- tion. but the Board deems it unadvisablo—in view of tho expense—to publish in the newspapcrn in detail, the statistics of either Visitor, excepting such tables of figures as represent a summary or “ totals" for the car.

The Board fin s the School accommodation to be very defective as regards both the mole and female District Schools of the city, and believes it vain to look for results in any degree commensu- rate with the contributions of the citizens to the public educational fund, under existing arrange- ments. With two exceptions, the Schoolrooma of this city are wholly unsuitable for the purpose. if not positively injurious to the health and comfort of the children. A more clearly defined and sys- tematic gradation of common scl1ools,—-culminnt~ ing in an intermediate school, the want of which lattcris much felt at present—would be among the first results of improved school uccommodw tion for all classes in the community.

The Board is of opinion it would rovc benc- ficinl, if the duties and cfl‘orts "of the chool Trus- toes in Cbrrlottctown were centralized and com- bincd to 11 greater extent. than at present, by providing for the election of Trustees at the periods prescribed for the election of city Coun- cillors; or. if deemed preferable, by enacting that the latter should be 0.1: oflim’o Trustees of all the city Schools. This provision might further have a beneficial tendency in directing the attention of the city authorities, if thus brought into more immediate contact with our educational system, to the pan or children especially. whosc educa- tion is who 1y neglected. together with not a few others of better condition, who are to be soon in our strcets and places of public resort, during those hours which ought to be devoted to school instruction. ‘ ‘

0n the subject of Grammar Schools t—Sccing that tho applications for the establishment of those institutions are on the increase. the Board is of opinion that the districts seeking for the superior privileges of this class of schools ought. to be called 011 to put forth Corresponding local cil'orts, conditional on the establishment of such, by pro- viding superior Schoolhonscs, together with a cottage for the teacher and a few acres of land sufiimcnt to graze 11. cow and float on orchard, at least. Plans of improved Sc oolhouscs may be seen at the office of the Secretary. The Board is sensible that the subject of School architecture has not. yet received that attention whicn its im- portance in relation to the health, manners, morals and intellectual progress of the children so very much demands.

Certified, JOIIN McNE1LL, Scc’y.

To the Board of Educa/t'on for the Island of Prince Edward.

Gummqu :—

Tbc state of the roads in the early spring. and the intervention of the vacation, have prevented me from visiting more than forty-six schools since my last report; six of thcsc are vacant. . Full particulars of each will be found in the Schedule annexed to this report, and I have but few obser- vations in addition to submit to tho Board.

New Schoolhouscs arc in progress at North Bcdcque. and at tho Platte Distrlct. There are others which rcrpuirc repair, especially those at Lower Bcdcquc. hummorsidc, and Crapoud \Vcst. Maps are totally deficient in Summcrsidc, and those of the Island are not to be found in several. notwithstanding the late stringent order of the Board. I have given notice to all, that. in case of any further default, this order will be strictly enforced.

In most of the Schools, the senior scholars up. poor to be well instructed in tho ordinary branches of education; and where my deficiency exists in this respect, I think it is owing, in a very great measure, to the irregularity of attendance. and to the apathy and inditl‘crcnco too oitcu found among many of tho parentsmon indifi‘crcncc per- fcctly inexcusable. when the advantages offered 11 the Legislature of tho Island are fully Con- sldcrcd. Book-lice iugis not so general! taught as I would wish. be late alteration in t o modc ofpaymcnt to the Teachers will, I be c, secure the continuance of many who would 01: 1crwisc have dovotml themselves to other ursuits, but its ef- fects cannot yet be ascertained).

My attention has boon articulurly drawn to the state of the Schools in $01: 15, and the immo- dlato neighborhood. In the summer of 1865,! found no less than six Schoolhonsos in this dis- trict destitute of Teachers, nor would I discover, on the most diligent inquiry I could make, who were the Trustees of the several districts, or that any etc. 11 were taken or contemplated to supply those oficioncics. 011 my arrival in Charlottoc town. I waited on the Catholic Bisho , when his Lordship kindl promised to use his Influence to promote the o ucation of the children throughout these localities. and in 1866. I found two of tho Schoolhouse occupied by licensed Teachers. and in one other a female Teacher not licensed. On my recent visit to these districts, I was agreeably surprised to find every Schoolhouse occupied ox- copt one, $St. James) which I believe is incon- vontcatl I tested, and which has been converted into a welling- house. The female Teacher I mentioned above, Miss Louise Arscncsu, occu-

‘croditably in Geometry and Algebra.

W.......m~ -W

pics 0110, and has twenty—five scholars, six of whom learn English. Miss Lilies Arsonoau keeps a School in the St. James District, and has thirty- one scholars, but. she does not understand that language. I did not, of course, examine these Schools. on the Teachers are not under the direc- tion of the Board; but I have no reason to doubt their competency, cxcc i. so far as regards the English language, which). being the businoss lan- guage of the country. should, I think. be taught as generally as possible. In one Schoolhouse, (St. N icbolns) no school had been held for nearly, or quite four years. and in tho Egmont Ba Road, I found a very competent Tcoohcr from ontrcnl. I submit, therefore, that the inhabitants of those districts have now redeemed their character in respect of indifference to the education of their children. and as I at the time reported the actual state of things in the several localities I visited. I rejoice to find that. from whatever cause the remedy may have arisen, the evil I then com~ ploinod of no longer exists. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient servant. 1V. HENRY BUCKERFIELD, School Visitor. June 26, 1867.

To the Board of Education for the Island of Prince Edward.

Guxrmuus :—

I regret that I have to report a diminution in the number of scholars attending the Summersidc Grammar School on my last visit. there being only fifteen on the Journal, and twelve in attendance on the seventh of J one last.

There is. however. a progressive and very satis- factory improvement in such of tin; pupils as were examined on a former visit.

George Warburton rendered into English on Ode of Home with cone. and had commenced the study of the Greek language very res cctably. Bonncrmnn Warburton and James Mc. cill. con- struodnnd parsed passages from Caesar's Com- mentaries. with accuracy and readiness, and all those I have named acquitted themselves very The junior scholars appeared to be well grounded in the several branchosi which the were respectively receiving instruct. on, and t o conduct. of the School seems to be in every respect satisfactory.

I have. however. again to call the attention of the Board to those appliances, :1 good set of Maps and a Terrestrial Globe, which :1 Grammar School ought to possess. A play ground for the boys is very essential. cs cial y in such a lace as Summerside. and if 13 Government won d allow the plot of ground set apart for tho Volunteers, to housed-Items 111119”.an not aired by them. it would, think. obviate one o the pro- scnt objections to the School. and not materially interfere with its use for military urposoe.

I am glad to find that Mr. Mc no purposes to take a few boarders into his house.

In my examination of the Cavendish Grammar School. I was assisted by the Rev. I. Murra . when four of the scholars. George Laird, John . Mum '. Ewen McKenzie, and Cyrus Crosby, oc-

nittct themselves very well in Gcomct 1. The t 1100 first named were also examined in lx—Ilgcbro, and in Ctesor's Commentaries. The teacher. Mr. L. Millor. appears to bestow the utmost attention on his pupils, and the progress they make reflects credit on him and on themselves.

I have the honor to be. gentleman, Your most obedient. servant, \V. HENRY BUCKERFIELD.

Guxrtsnsu :—-—

Sinco the date of my last report, 1 have visited 105 Districts, of which 22 were either vacant. or the teachers were absent. I have, therefore ox- amincd 83 schools, full details of which will be found in the Schedules hereto annexed. Several of these vacancies have, I hear since. been filled up. The new School in tho Platte District. and in North Bcdoquc. are approaching completion, and are of ample size, but I am sorry to report that nothing has been done in the Nine Mile Creek District. Lot 65, and I recommended that an inti- mutipn be given to the Trustees. that unless some steps be forthwith taken towards the erection of a new building. the teacher's salary will not be allowed after the completion of Mr. Morrison's

engagement which expires in Innary out. ' he

reielittloto re rt iuadtlitiooto tipper- ticulars'of each schoo vent to the Schedsc. It istoosoon toascertain thesd‘oet ofthe School Act passed in the last session. but ashrasl on form an opinion, I think the vacant s are being filled a . and that on the whole, it will opa- rate favourab y 911 the educational interests ofthe Island. '

If it were possible to bring about a more regular attendance of the scholars. their progress would be more marked. In almost every report. I have had to notice the general neglect of parents in this respect. and to lament the indid'orence too often shown by them to the best interests of their chil- dren. ‘ The Trustees of the several Districts. might do much to remedy this, and wherever th do interest themselves warmly in the progress the scholars, b periodical cxammatmns or otherwise,

I find a spirit of emulation excited among the chil- '

dron. and a greater interest evinced by the teacher. In New Brunswick, there are, I am informed. County examinations. when scorqu number of pupils are soloch from each D1stnct School, who meet at the County Town, accompanied by their teachers. when small prizes are givoutothoae who acquit themselves most croditably 1n the several branches of instruction. ’

I have board. also, that a plan somewhat similar, has been adopted in Nova Scotia, where the Legis- loturc has ordered copies of Marshall's Histo of that Province to be offered as prizes to the echo - are of the District schools.
