[" THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.Nos.8-9.AUGUST-SEPTEM BER, 1907.Vor.XXVIL REPORT OF INSPECTOR J.W.McOUAT FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR OF 1905-06.SIR.I have the honour to submit for your consideration my general annual report on the work of inspection.According to instructions I held the usual teachers\u2019 conferences last autumn to organize the work, issue definite and detailed instructions and to consider the best methods of performing the duties assigned us for the year.These meetings were well attended, fully 95 per cent of the teachers engaged being present.In anumber of cases it was impossible to secure teachers and for this reason I postponed my conference till a later date.In this way some schools were open and some were closed during the first four months, and the results were not at all satisfac: tory.In some cases one teacter taught in two schools, the l-tter being compelled to wait until she had ended her engagement in the former.No less than eighteen teachers held no diploma and fourteen teachers were at work for the first year.1 did my best to insist on a proper nonprofessional standing, yet felt compelled to ask for permission for three teachers, who had not much advanced education, in ordet that small schools, with young pupils, might be given a measure of study at least. 254 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.I find that the rural ungraded school, as it is called, is quite a problem to teachers, who have been taught in larger graded schools and to whom the complex grading is a veritable diffi ulty.This is a feature of their training that might profitably receive attention.In training only the graded school is presented for practice and considera tion and the pupil is only given one class or grade of pupils to teach and control, but, it is a very different thing, when the young teacher meets five grades to be taught and controlled These observations arise from questions at our annual conferences each year.A large number of teachers were able to take advantage of the Government's bonus of $15 and $20 for length of service and were delighted to hear of the scheme.I am of opinion, however, that the scheme ought not to disqualify a teacher who had ceased to teach for the purpose of securing a higher diploma.Such absence from work ought to be commended rather than punished by a fine of $15 or $20 per year.No doubt the matter will be adjusted so as to encourage higher qualifications and length of service at the same time.The following teachers have been eminently successful during the past year and have all secured 90 per cent and over, namely : FEMALE TEACHERS.MUNICIPALITIES.PER CENT.Marion C.Whitehead .97 Annie Gorham Sal cere ee 96 Edith Boddy .Nal éli 95 Elizabeth Mathieu iette 95 Bertha Murdock

municipalities as per your instructions of April 7th, 1905, I submit the following names as most deserving, in order, namely: Montreal, Westmount, St.Henry, Joliette, Shawbridge.[t seems to me rather out of place to bonus these municipalities for the purpose of providing apparatus, when they are now fully supplied.If the bonus was confined to rural schools it would accomplish more.No rural municipality can ever expect to compete with the cities, hence the moneys must go as a matter of circumstance to the same schools each year.During the past year I held two conferences of school officials, one in Montreal and another in Lachute.Although I did my best to induce an attendance I can report only \u201cpartial success.Dr.Parmelee and Rev.Dr.Shaw gave me valuable assistance in Lachute and Montreal, and Hon.W.A.Weir, K.C., took a part in Lachute.In nearly all municipalities receiving poor grant funds the salary now paid is $20 per month.Itis better than in those abler schools, where more ability to pay exists.The reason being, that there is an inclination to respond to reasonable requests when the Government assistance is of some consequence.Moreover, I find much disposition in many of the poorer sections to increase the salaries and to provide better facilities for school work.Some new schools are still going up and the poorest in my whole inspectorate has to give place to a new one this summer.In the city of Montreal good work continues to be done, new buildings are being erected and old ones extended, and everything is being done that will keep pace with the demands of the times.Westmount, too, has a patient and hard working staff, who always produce good results in school work.The 256 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.premises are well kept, neat and clean, and everything lends a good educational influence.Prince Albert school, St.Henry, has done its usual quota of good work and has much to commend it for solidity and steadiness in the character of its results.\u2019 I would suggest than an outline of the course of study and a series or minor instructions should be issued by the Department of Public Instruction containing : (1) Detailed suggestions on best methods of work.(2) Time-limits regarding the work.(8) A list of the authorized text-books and instructions regarding their use.(4) Explanations as to best methods of conducting an ungraded school and combining its classes.Such an outline would harmonize the school work of the province and, besides being helpful to the new teachers, would save much valuable time each year at the annual conferences.In reference to our poor fund I am able to report that all municipalities getting help therefrom have done as was required and have heen materially assisted by this additional help.Tam not at all sanguine regarding the success of the proposal to tax all Protestant property in the province I0c.on the $100, to raise a poor fund of $511,000.I fear that, if this were done, the host of dissentient ratepayers, who support most of our Protestant schools, would simply cease to dissent and return to the majority, as the law gives them the right to do and as they are now doing, whenever they are sufficiently displeased in any respect.Every year provides instances of this fickle loyalty and petty meanness on the part of some of our dissentient Protestants.If, however, such a tax were levied, it would be necessary to provide some means of valuing all property submitted to the tax and of equalizing the same.Such a tax would be double the tax now paid in some of the wealthy suburbs of Montreal, and from them much stern opposition might be expected.If such a plan were put in operation at all, it would be better to make the machinery, created to collect the 10c.on the $100, gather all the taxes necessary to maintain the Protestant elementary schools of the province and then administer the whole sum from the Protestant committee.i PRIVILEGES OF THE KING'S ARMORER.57 The average rate per $100, now, is given at 40c, if this were increased a couple of mills per $1.00 or 20c.per $100, we would secure an additional $10,000 to add to E present expenditure, and this sum would scarcely make BE things satisfactory But right here, again, we come up I against those who are paying 10c\u2026 15c., 2Cc., and 25c.per $100, and these would not readily consent to our Provincial scheme, without protest and finally dissent.I fear under such a plan the powerful adverse for.es, namely, cost of collection, right of dissent, and possibility of fraud.The chief cure then remains in each municipality helping itself by making a judicious use of its own taxes and its Government grants.In this inspectorate the poor grants amount to an average of $1.00 per pupil enrolled in the 22 poor municipalities This sum per pupil is equal to : the regular, average Government grant per pupil through- IE out the whole province and is a very substantial aid, 1 indeed.1f this sum were doubled, I feel satisfied that every ratepayer in these municipalities would be perfectly JE satisfied with the amount and would be ready to respond ! more liberally with his taxes.The ratepayers in this part of the province are expecting great things from the Macdonald College at Ste.Anne's, and all our teachers are awake to its advantages, and hope a summer course may be provided for teachers who are unable to attend during the regular term of study.I desire to express my thanks to all school officials and teachers whom I have laboured with for their kind cooperation and to the public for much sympathy and support in behalf of education.0g an ithe on : Cp.£a Articles : Original and Selected.PRIVILEGES OF THE KING\u20193 ARMORER.For THE PUPILS.There are several ancient privileges attached to the post of armorer to the King.One of these gives him a right to dine at the King\u2019s table at least once a week ; another enables him to demand a golden goblet from His Majesty once a year.Guy Laking the present holder of the post, does not claim either of these ancient privileges.On state Ii | ihe RTT IH 258 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.occasions, however, he wears the gorgeous uniform of his office, which is no doubt far more ornamental than comfortable \u2014 Tit- Bits.A LITTLE THING.For THE PuUPIIs.A pen once 10st me an order.I had just worked up the executive of a large concern into a desire to buv.I had my contract form lying on his desk with my finger on the dotted line.He reached over toward his pen rack.took off a pen and plunged it into the ink-well He turned to me with a frown on his face\u2014the well was empty.I was ready with a fountain pen.The pen uncapped, I handed it to him.He started to write; the ink would not flow.I took it and shook it.Again he made the attempt, with no result.\u201c I will get one,\u201d he said.So he stepped into the other room.Evidently some one stopped him with a question, for he did not come back for three minutes.Then he stood at his desk ; he looked down at the contract.\u201c I believe I had better think this matter over again,\u201d he sald.And all the talk I put up could not budge him.I had lost a sale because my fountain pen was empty.Now one of my regular morning duties, week in and week out, just as regular as my shave and checking over of calls to be made, and the making out of my expense account, is filling my fountain pen.\u2014James N.Bowen, in May System.LICKING POSTAGE STAMPS.For THE PUPILS.Licking postage stamps isa very common practice, and one that few people would associate with danger of disease of any sort.Of course, illness traceable to this cause is rare, but that it does sometimes occur no one can doubt, but aside from the disease germ theory of abstaining from this practice, it certainly is not a cleanly habit, nor is it a necessary action.It is a good deal easier and safer to lick the envelope, or, what is better, moisten the corner of it with the finger tips and water, and then apply in ng 0 oth py Lae] DuSHMeIticoc iit tieiMeteieiciitdisartota) iE ib te soi ia tes THE CHILD'S MORNING HYMN.259 the stamp.A wet handkerchief will dampen the envelope sufficiently to make the stamp adhere.While great care is taken in preparing the mucilage that is put upon postage stamps, it is impossible to insure the perfect health of the persons who handle them.An employee with an incurable disease might spread his ill condition through a whole country.It may not be necessary to warn every one.but those who have never had their attention called to the subject will not fail npon a moment's reflection, to see the folly of licking postage stamps \u2014 Boston Budget, THE CHILD'S MORNING HY MN.For THE PUPILS.Jesus, keep me all this day When at school and when at play ; When I work and when 1 rest; Bless me, and 1 shall be blest.Keep my body free from pain, Keep my soul from sinful stain, Bread supply for daily need, Help me on Thy truth to feed.May I do all things [ ought, May | hate each evil thought, Let no false orangry word, From my lips this day be heard.May I serve Thee here below, Serve Thee when to heaven I go, Serve and love and trust in Thee Now and through eternity.\u2014 Newman Hall.The core of the unhappiness of the world\u2019s workers is not that they have to work, or that they are deprived of things that they would like to have, but the eternal haunting vision of the time when their working days will be over.

sub-committee on arrangements for the June examinations was submitted by Prof.Kneeland and adopted.The sub-committee was continued.An application from Mr.George Kilpatrick for a diploma on his extra-provincial standing was submitted, and the Secretary was instructed to inform Mr.Kilpatrick that he may teach during the coming year without diploma, and that his application will be considered after receiving fuller information as to his previous courses in latin and French.Dr.Shaw, having taken the chair, submitted the following digest of the interim report of the Inspector of Superior Schools :\u2014 \u201c Of the 22 Superior Schools inspected in educational work three are pronounced excellent, viz., Clarenceville, Sherbrooke and Valleytield, and eighteen good or fair.St.Sylvestre is a small school with only one teacher and nineteen pupils.This school should be reduced to an elementary school next year by order of the Protestant Committee.Fire escapes are being provided in Sherbrooke: and St.Johns.Inverness has a McGill Travelling Library.The improvements required last year have been made in Beebe Plain and Frelighsburgh.The school at St.Johns has been renovated and is in excellent condition.As to cleanliness and sanitary conditions, 12 are reported good and 5 middling.The condition of Lacolle school rooms is \u201cbad.\u201d As to closets, in Inverness they are \u201c filthy,\u201d in Kinnear\u2019s Mills \u201cbad, \u201d in Como and Clarence- _ Ville \u201c dirty.\u201d In the last instance the report isin unfortunate contrast to the ranking of the school educationally as \u2018 excellent.\u201d The Chairman reported for the information of the Committee that a deputation of the Teachers\u2019 Training Committee of the Macdonald College had waited upon the Protestant School Commissioners of Montreal to consider what disposal should be made of the Normal School premises, on Belmont Street, in view of the recent transfer of the Normal School to the Macdonald College It was agreed in case the Government placed the premises at the use of the School Board as one of the OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT.283 Protestant public schools, Montreal, on terms satisfactorv to the Commissioners, the Board would opanthe school to the Macdonald College as a Practice School for the Normal students of the said College, the latter to be responsible for additional expenses as regards lighting, heating, &c., amounting to $1,000.00 per annum, also that at least two schools of the Protestant School Board, Montreal, should be open to the said Normal students for observation purposes with a proper gratuity to be paid by the Macdonald College to the teachers whose classes may be visited.Further, the Protestant School Board would become responsible for the school staff of the present Model Schools, not including Kindergarten Assistants who may not be required for the service of the schools.: In view of the statement of the Chairman it was resolved to request the Protestant Board of School Commissioners of Montreal to make provision, if possible, for the continuance of the excellent kindergarten classes which have been carried on in connection with McGill Normal School.Dr.Shaw submitted correspondence from the Rev.A.Ireland, of Phillipsburg, and the Hon.W.A.Weir, regarding the school at Phillipsburg.Tnasmuch as the school is to be organized as a model school, the Committee resolved to give it special consideration when it is so organized.As the Inspector of the district reports that the \u2018school in question is not in a poor municipality, no grant can be made from the Poor Municipality Fund.The Secretary was instructed to bring the matter before the Committee again at the September meeting with fuller information.A letter from the Treasurer of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners of Montreal was read, asking for a resolution authorizing the reversion to that Board of the sum of $2,0 10, which is now paid annually to the Committee for the support oftne Model Schools in connection with the Normal School.The Secretary was instructed to inform him that the resolution will be passed at the first meeting after the completion of the arrangements for closing the Model Schools as such. 284 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.The sub committee on the distribution of the Superior Education Fund was re-appointed.On the invitation of Dr.J.W.Robertson, the members of the Committee visited the Macdonald College at Ste.Anne.Before returning, a unanimous vote of thanks was offered to Dr.Robertson for his kindness in showing the magnificent buildings, and explaining their several purposes to his guests.The meeting adjourned to meet on Friday, the 27th day of Neptember, or earlier on the call of the Chairman.GEo.W.PARMELEE,
