although eleven were in Class I and one was excellent.The chief difficulty seemed to be the lack of clear thinking.Geography, being a Science, requires clearness of thinking and accuracy of expression\u201d.The number of candidates was 289, the largest in the last five years, and the number failed was 66, a percentage of 22.7.Miss Seiveright\u2019s comments should be carefully studied in the printed report by teachers of physical geography.Here we quote only her final suggestions.\u201c1.That more attention be paid to the structure and physical features of the home locality.2.That greater accuracy of thinking and conciseness of expression be aimed at.3.That the diagrams be studied and interpreted more carefully, and that the pupils be encouraged to supplement the diagrams in the text with those of their own construction.4.That maps be used constantly in conjunction with the text, since without maps Physical Geography is meaningless and a waste of time.\u201d We have often urged in these columns the value of \u2018field days\u201d, but even these are of little use unless habits of observation are inculcated by the teacher.To be successful, a field day must be carefully planned beforehand, with distinct and essential objects in view for study.Physical geography can be made one of the most valuable of the subjects in the course of study, but it is a waste of time if taught perfunctorily.J.C.8S. ENGLISH COMPOSITION 201 ENGLISH COMPOSITION Severe criticisms of the English used by the Grade XI pupils in the June Examinations appear in the reports of the examiners this year.They appear, indeed, about every year, and are not confined to the examiners in English Composition and English Literature.Professor Latham, reporting on the papers on English Composition says: \u201cThe examiner in English Composition took into account three more or less distinct points of view: first, accuracy in the use of language, including spelling, punctuation, grammar, diction, idiomatic usage and so on; secondly, logical arrangement of material, with some regard for unity, consecutiveness, and proportion; and thirdly, grasp and understanding of the subject under discussion.A first-class book should meet all three of these tests.Any book that failed to meet the first test could not be considered satisfactory.Surely, the primary purpose of instruction in English in schools must be to develop the ability to speak and write the language with precision and correctness.\u201cAfter the reading of over twelve hundred of these books the conviction that comes most strongly to the examiner\u2019s mind is that insufficient attention 1s paid to these humdrum, elementary details.Misspellings abound, punctuation is ignored, and the simplest principles of grammar are violated.Anyone experienced in these matters knows that teachers will get just as poor work as they will tolerate, and no poorer.What is known as the \u2018mechanics\u2019 of composition must be attended to first of all.This sort of instruction demands time, intelligence and enormous patience on the part of the teacher.\u201cA good many pupils showed a tendency to use words whose meaning they did not fully understand.Here are some examples: the duplicity of railway service in Canada, meaning duplication; motor cars travel with considerate speed, meaning considerable; the English are noted for loquacity, meaning apparently sententious speech; he wilfully granted his assistance, in the sense of willingly.These examples are mentioned because of their innocent grotesqueness.\u201d The trouble begins, of course, lower down than the eleventh grade.The teachers of Grade XI cannot be held wholly responsible for the poor English of the pupils.The work in ten earlier grades shares in the responsibility, and more: particularly in Grades VII, VIII, IX and X.The instruction needed demands, as Professor Latham says, \u2018time, intelligence and enormous patience on the part of the teacher\u201d.Exactly, and many teachers will ask how they are going to find the time for this enormous patience in the teaching of English when they 3 3 3 of ee.4 D.IR kms ETAT elie = Ce SEE Ee Sn SES ra nina LE ee ex BRN Ih baccarat.202 EDUCATIONAL RECORD have other subjects to teach?The answer to this is that the time and patience spent upon \u201caccuracy in the use of language, including spelling, punctuation, grammar, diction, idiomatic usage and so on\u201d would immediately have its effect upon the grasp of the pupils on the other subjects of the curriculum.Professor Brunt, reporting on the English Literature papers, has a significant paragraph which reads: \u2014 \u201cMy reports on English Composition for the last eight years may be read with profit as my report on this literature paper in the matter of grammar, composition, spelling, punctuation.\u201d In the face of the continued emphasis of the examiners on these matters, and also in regard to careless and illegible writers, it is surely not too much to ask the principals of high and intermediate schools to insist upon Thoroughness in the teaching of English Composition.When success has been attained in the earlier grades in this respect we will miss, of course, those delightful \u2018\u201chowlers\u201d that Professor N.N.Evans is obliged to report yearly in the chemistry papers, but the gain for the pupils throughout their lives will be very substantial.Mastery of the mother tongue makes for clear thinking.J.C.8S.NEWTON AND EINSTEIN There are many explanations, some fairly readable, of the Einstein theory of the universe.Those of Eddington and Jeans are among the best known.One by Professor Rice of Liverpool University is \u2018without mathematics\u201d.As we are assured that there are hardly fifty men in the world who can follow the higher mathematies employed in Einstein\u2019s formulæ, and as the hope is held out by his chief followers that his general or more advanced theory may in time receive a comprehensive and simpler interpretation, it is allowable for the rest of us to assume an attitude of suspended judgment on the question.In the meantime, however, we have the consolation of knowing from good judges that the Einstein theory does not \u2018\u2018upset\u2019\u2019 the Newtonian, as the eager daily press too readily assumed.Kimball\u2019s \u201cPhysics\u201d states, as a foot note on page 112 on the Newtonian formula for gravitation \u2014 \u2018\u201cAccording to Einstein\u2019s theory of relativity the exact law (Newton\u2019s) varies slightly from this, but the deviation is so small that it does not have to be taken account of in ordinary astronomical calculations\u201d. NEWTON AND EINSTEIN 203 The first volume of Russell, Dugan and Stewart\u2019s \u201cAstronomy\u201d (Ginn & Co.) deals with relativity on page 303 and states \u2014 \u201cThe principle of relativity is the postulate that the laws of nature are such that all physical phenomena depend only on the relative positions and motions of the bodies concerned (including everything on which observations are made, even if it be a distant star), and are quite unaffected by any uniform rectilinear motion which may be common to them all.\u201cWith regard to the motions of material bodies this follows immediately from Newton\u2019s laws of motion and is confirmed by everyday experience.Thus, the earth\u2019s orbital motion (which is nearly enough rectilinear to serve as an illustration) has no influence on the relative positions or motions of objects on its surface, nor does the rapid motion of the solar system through interstellar space have the least influence on the paths which the planets pursue relatively to the sun.The displacement of Aristotle\u2019s views by Newton\u2019s was therefore the first and greatest triumph of relativity\u2019.Professor Rice in his \u201cRelativity Without Mathematics\u201d (incidentally he is the author of an advanced book on the subject with mathematics) says on page 8: \u2018\u201cPeculiarly enough, it was the discovery that light in its transmission did not satisfy the requirements of a limited kind of relativity, known as \u201cmechanical relativity\u2019\u2019, which initiated that series of experiments upon whose well-attest- ed results Einstein founded his postulates.And yet in a sense this was not so peculiar; for, as a matter of fact, this mechanical relativity was already inherent in the Newtonian scheme, and what Einstein's imaginative genius grasped was that this kind of relativity was too limited in its scope.His proposal was an extension to a much wider domain of a principle already present in embryo, rather than the introduction of an entirely foreign and hostile element.This should serve to forewarn the reader against the belief, fostered in quarters where sensationalism pays, that Einstein\u2019s work in some mysterious way has destroyed Newton\u2019s.The absurdity of such a suggestion will only be too apparent as we proceed.Two centuries of experiment and mathematical analysis lie between the two men, and Einstein stands on the shoulders of the greatest scientific man who has ever lived\u201d.We have selected the foregoing authoritative statements after several years of reading in the relativity literature.Not only the newspapers, but Eddington and others have been using language which conveyed to the ordinary reader the idea that the great work of Sir Isaac Newton had been set aside or submerged and a scientific revolution accomplished as complete (and disastrous) as the political revolutions in Russia and Germany. | gtalalaiiiars, ath in 204 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Lately in an address at Montreal, Professor Macdermott of McGill stated that the scientists were responsible for an intellectual \u2018degeneration\u2019 in our post-war disturbed moral world, and doubtless he was referring to the extravagant attitude in regard to relativity.The twentieth century has inherited a vast amount of astronomical knowledge which has developed directly from Sir Isaac Newton.It was Newton\u2019s glory that he was able to give meaning to the three laws of planetary motion discovered earlier by John Kepler.It was also his glory that he was intellectually patient.When he had formulated the principle of gravitation he tested it by the rate that the moon, in its orbit around the earth, \u2018falls\u2019 each second towards the earth.The result was fifteen per cent out from the theoretical requirement.He quietly put his calculations aside for years.Then King Louis the Fourteenth of France had ordered that a new determination of a degree of latitude be made by the physicist Picard.The result showed that, instead of a length i.of 60 miles per degree, the average was 69 miles.Hence the earth was larger and of greater mass than was previously supposed.Newton then brought out bi his papers, completed the calculations with the new data and found that theory and fact agreed.From that time to the present astronomy has been a trimphant science.It is not only classical astronomy but classical physics also that is affected by the Einstein theories, To teachers of physics who may desire to read the algebraic and geometrical proofs in connection the Fourth Dimension, Mass and Momentum, Whitehead\u2019s formula for Separation of Events, and other features of the Einsteinian world we can recommend \u2018Readable Relativity\u2019 by C.V.Darrell (London: by Bell & Sons and Toronto: Clarke, Irwin & Company).ig It is a question, however, if the new views have anything like the teaching value that the electron theory, for instance, has on chemistry.J.C.S. TEACHING OF FRENCH BY MISS SMITH 205 NOTES ON THE TEACHING OF \u201cSENTENCE-BUILDING\u201d AND \u201cCOMPOSITION-WRITING\u201d IN THE SUBJECT OF FRENCH The aim of French composition is to teach pupils to express a few ideas in a language which is not their own.They cannot be expected to write with assurance, nor to construct artistic sentences similar to those which might appear in an English composition, where they are using their own mother tongue and can readily express a thought in various ways.The objective of the French composition is quite different.Pupils are here required to make use of grammatical principles and a vocabulary, both somewhat restricted, and to put them together in such a manner that they will be recognized as French-Sentences which will sound French as well as look it.To accomplish this often proves a very difficult task.Pupils must be taught not to wander too far afield.They must be carefully guided and advised to keep well to the beaten paths.They must proceed slowly and learn how to avoid the pitfalls.To give pupils a title and to ask them to write a French composition is sheer madness\u2014for they will present work involving so many errors that pupils and teachers alike will become discouraged in their effort to extricate themselves from the entanglement.Before attempting a composition, pupils would do well to spend a few lessons on sentence formation or building.A child must learn to creep before it can walk; so in this work, pupils must be able to write good sentences before putting them together in paragraphs.These sentences will involve elementary principles of grammar, for simple as they may seem, nevertheless they persist in making their appearance and wrecking the best compositions.A brief summary of the worst offenses are as follows: 1.\u2014The mark of the plural du gargon garçons de la fille des filles de l\u2019enfant enfants au garçon aux garçons à la fille filles à l\u2019enfant enfants ce garçon garçons cet homme ces hommes cette femme femmes 206 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Il mange sa pomme.Ils mangent leurs pommes.2\u2014Ce and Se The difference between the pronoun used with reflexive verbs \u2018\u201c\u2018se\u2019\u2019 and the demonstrative adjective \u2018\u201c\u2018ce\u2019.\u2019 3 Also the use of \u2018\u2018ce\u2019\u2019 followed by qui and que.Voyez-vous ce qui est sur ce pupitre ?Je ne sais pas ce qu\u2019il regarde.3.\u2014The agreement of adjectives 8 Ce crayon vert est petit.Ces crayons verts sont petits.a Cette plume verte est petite.a Ces plumes vertes sont petites.4.\u2014The difference between an adverb and an adjective, especially: A mauvais mal 4 \u2018 bon bien A adjectives petit adverbs peu L grand beaucoup.9 Examples: hi (1) Quand il fait mauvais temps, je reste à la maison.a (2) Cette petite fille prononce mal.E (3) Voilà un bon exercice.i.(4) Cet enfant écrit trés bien.hi 5.\u2014The use of verbs is the greatest problem for they are the frame work 3 of the composition and must be used in their correct setting if results are to be gE satisfactory.Pupils must learn to be consistent in the use of tenses.If \u2018le ) 12 parfait\u201d is used to denote completed action, \u2018le passé historique\u201d must not | unexpectedly make its appearance in the middle of the composition.Example: Jacques Gérard est sorti de la maison.Il se dirigea vers la ville, etc., etec., The second verb should be \u201cIl s\u2019est dirigé\u201d because \u2018le parfait\u201d has already been used in the first sentence.Some of this difficulty may be overcome by short paragraphs or stories, where the infinitives may be substituted, both orally and written, by the required tense.PI THI IRI TEACHING OF FRENCH BY MISS SMITH 207 Example: Paul va a la poste.Hier soir, après avoir fini ses leçons, Paul (1)-prendre sa casquette, qui (2)-être sur une chaise à côté de lui.(3)-Regarder la pendule.(4)-Etre sept heures et demie.(5)-Se dire\u2018: \u201cOui, (6)-être l\u2019heure de la poste.\u201d (7)-Sortir, après (8)-dire \u2018aurevoir\u2019 à sa famille.Comme il (9)-faire beau! Les étoiles (10)-fourmiller au ciel et la lune (11)-éclairer son chemin.Il (12)-rentrer dans le bureau de poste où il (13)-prendre ses lettres et son journal.Après (14)-causer avec ses amis, il (15)-retourner chez-lui.Il (16)-remettre les lettres à son père, (17)-monter en haut et (18)-se coucher tout de suite.Tenses used \u2014 ; Descriptive Completed Action (2) était (1)-il a pris (4) était (3)-il a regardé | (9)-il faisait (5)-il s\u2019est dit [ (10)-fourmillaient (7)-il est sorti (11)-éclairait (12)-il est rentré ; (13)-il a pris (15)-il est retourné (16)-il a remis (17)\u2014il est monté (18)-il s\u2019est couché | Practice using perfect infinitive is given in verbs (6)-après avoir dit (9)-après avoir causé while in (6) the present is required \u201cOur\u201d, il est l\u2019heure de la poste.\u201d This verb work will include, as well as the sequence of tenses, direct and indirect speech, impersonal verbs, the use of active and passive voice.It should be noted that active voice is to be used instead of the passive.| | Example: (1) Jacques fut intéressé aux forains should be written Jacques s\u2019intéressa aux forains.(Active) (2) Les préparatifs ont été faits sur la Place.should be written On a fait les préparatifs sur la Place.(Active) The use of the infinitive following a principal verb and a preposition. 208 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Example: (1) Les enfants veulent aller au Cirque d\u2019Eté.(2) La mère leur dit de rester à la maison.(3) Il commence à pleuvoir.Simple sentences based on the work of the text.By questions such as Ou?Comment ?Quand ?Pourquoi?ete.pupils may be guided to develope these sentences until finally they can be woven into a paragraph.Example: Jacques Gérard 1.Les enfants ont terminé leurs jeux.2.Ils sont rentrés.3.M.Gérard est arrivé.4.Ils sont restés à la maison.3.M.Gérard a raconté une aventure.Développement : 1.Les enfants, qui s\u2019appelaient Charles, Mame et Léonore Destours, ont terminé leurs jeux dans les jardins de Luxembourg.or\u2014 Les trois enfants de la famille Destours, qui jouaient avec leurs petits amis dans les jardins ont terminé leurs jeux.2.Ils sont rentrés parce qu\u2019il commençait à pleuvoir.(parce qu\u2019il y avait de gros nuages noirs ( qui annonçaient la pluie.) | annonçant la pluie.parce qu\u2019il faisait très sombre.3.M.Gérard, l\u2019ami des enfants, (qui était l\u2019ami de la famille) qui proposait souvent quelque divertissement) (qui emmenait quelquefois les enfants au Cirque d\u2019Eté) est arrivé 4.Ils sont restés à la maison parce qu\u2019il pleuvait à verse.(parce qu\u2019il faisait mauvais temps) (parce qu\u2019ils ne pouvaient pas sortir par un temps pareil.) 5.M.Gérard, qui voulait amuser les enfants désappointés, (qui savait que les enfants aimaient les histoires) leur a raconté une aventure.Pupils are now ready to attempt a paragraph, which may be entitled TEACHING OF FRENCH BY MISS SMITH 209 Une journée pluvieuse or\u2014 Les enfants Destours passent l\u2019après-midi à la maison.Les trois enfants Destours qui jouaient avec leurs petits compagnons dans les jardins de Luxembourg ont terminé leurs jeux.Ils sont rentrés parce qu\u2019il commençait à pleuvoir.Bientôt, M.Gérard, l\u2019ami de leur père, est arrivé.Les enfants sont restés à la maison parce qu\u2019il pleuvait à verse.M.Gérard, qui voulait amuser les enfants désappointés, leur a raconté une aventure.Develop in the same way the following: 1.Jacques a passé son enfance à Moret.2.Sa mère lui a enseigné toutes ses leçons.3.L\u2019après-midi, il s\u2019est promené avec Manon.Our method of procedure is then : 1.Simple sentences.2.Sentence development and expansion.3.Paragraph.4.Composition.The types of composition may be summed up as follows:\u2014 I.\u2014 Description: (a) When the subject being described is visual or the mental picture is present.The present tense will be used.(1) Le temps aujourd\u2019hui.(2) Notre salle de classe.(3) Ce que je vois de cette fenétre.(b) The description, however, may be recalled, a memory picture, the \u2018\u2018le passé continu\u2019\u2019 will be used.(1) Le temps hier.(2) Les jardins de Luxembourg.(3) L\u2019enfance de Jacques Gérard.(4) Le femme au tambour.The French text-books in all classes are full of suggestions for descriptive ® composition. 210 EDUCATIONAL RECORD II.\u2014Narration: This type will deal with verb actions;

VO ODOC SY A AARNE PRESCRIPTION OF TAXES 215 PRESCRIPTION OF TAXES (By the Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs) By an act of 1932 (22 George V, chapter 93) it was enacted that the prescription of municipal and school taxes will not run between the 19th of February 1932 and the 31st of December 1933, both dates inclusive.The effect of this law is to suspend the prescription of municipal and school taxes since the 19th of February 1932.This law was not destined, as it was contended in some quarters, to prevent E the council from collecting its taxes and even taking legal proceedings to attain such end.The object of the law simply to protect the guarantee of the corporation if, for some reason or other, it had been unable to collect its dues.E However, the discussion of this question ceases to be of interest, because, according to law, it will no longer apply after the 31st of December next.Ac- cordingly from the 1st of January, the old law respecting prescription of taxes will again come into force.3 The question will arise: What interpretation must be given to that tem- E porary enactment which will cease to have effect on the 31st of December next ?E We have received several inquiries concerning this and we observe that opinions differ thereon.In view of the importance of the subject, we think it advisable to give a direction to the municipal councils and to the school boards of the Province, so that we may have an unanimous interpretation on this matter.I am of opinion that the effect of the law enacting that prescription does not run between the 19th of February, 1932, and the 31st of December, 1933, 1s to eliminate, with regard to the prescription of taxes, the whole period comprised between the two above mentioned dates, both dates inclusive.I give the same interpretation to this law as that given to the Code of Civil Procedure which enacts that all delays are suspended during the summer holidays. 216 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Consequently we must come to the conclusion that, under the above mentioned law, the delay between the 18th of February, 1932, and the 1st of January, 1934, does not count with regard to prescription, and that the 1st of January, 1934, immediately follows the 18th of February, 1932.Thus, a municipality or a school tax which had run two years on the 18th of February, 1932, would still have another year to run from the 1st of January, 1934, before being prescribed; likewise, a tax having run six months on the 18th of February, 1932, would still have to run 214 years from the 1st of January, 1934.I have been asked by several municipal councils if the Mayor and councillors assume any personal responsibility in permitting certain taxes to be prescribed through not submitting the immoveable for sale, by the County Council.It is the duty of the members of our municipal councils, as well as of our A school boards to administer the affairs of their corporation to the best of their 4 knowledge, and to do their best to collect the taxes due to the municipality, so that the latter may meet its obligations.8 Are these administrators obliged to enforce the collection of taxes through the sale of immoveables when three years of taxes are due, under penalty of incurring personal responsibility therefor ?I believe not.On the other hand, these men have, by their oath of office, undertaken to pi administer the affairs of their municipality to the best of their knowledge and ability.It is for them to decide, under their oath of office, whether they will refuse gr: to submit to the County Council an immoveable for sale because, owing to the i Depression, the owner is absolutely unable to make any arrangement for the Li payment in whole or in part of his arrears of taxes, thus permitting these arrears to become prescribed and placing the amount upon the shoulders of the other tax-payers.There is no doubt that the Depression has created new conditions which are quite extraordinary and which are not provided for by our laws.There still remains the great law of Humanity and Christian Charity which must be taken into account even in the administration of public affairs.We must not however exaggerate this rule of Humanity and Christian Charity and exempt from the payment of his taxes a man who is still able to # pay his dues, although it may entail a sacrifice on his part.À PRESCRIPTION OF TAXES 217 The administrators must not lose sight of the fact, that, as I have already stated, if they permit a man to be relieved of his taxes, the burden falls upon the other tax-payers of the municipality.Therefore, if the council permits a certain amount of taxes to be prescribed and lost to the municipality, they may not incur any personal responsibility, but it will be a matter to be submitted to the sanction of their electors.I would advise the members of the council to examine together, at the December meeting, the list of all the arrears of taxes and to share the responsibility of deciding which immoveable shall be sent to the County Council, and which shall be exempted from this drastic operation on account of the poverty of their owner.| May I here repeat what I have already written several times in the \u201cMunicipal Bulletin\u2019: \u201cThe council should not wait until there are three years of taxes in arrears before sending the immoveables to the County Council for enforced E collection.\u201d Taxes are due and exigible each year in spite of the legend which exists in E certain parts of the Province to the effect that immoveables can be sold only E when three years of taxes are due.OSCAR MORIN E NS ENT NO to pus w EDUCATIONAL RECORD SCHOOL TAXES ON PROPERTY OF COMPANIES (By Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs) Our attention has been drawn several times recently to an injustice, more particularly to school boards, through the fact that immoveables belonging to an industry or to a company which has obtained from a municipal council a complete or a partial exemption of taxes, are inscribed on the valuation roll for a very small amount in proportion to their real value.Thus, an industry whose immoveables are worth $1,000,000 are inscribed on the valuation roll for $50,000 and this for a period of 10 years.A This may have been done legally in virtue of a special law passed by the 18 Legislature, or it may have been done illegally by means of a resolution of the 3 council.We are not discussing the legal aspect of the case, in the present in- ® stance; but we wish to bring out the injustice caused to the school board through 3 this limited valuation of the immoveables of this industry on the valuation roll.a As is well known, in most cases school taxes are levied on the value as it appears on the municipal valuation roll.If the value of the property has been reduced from $1,000,000 to $50,000, the school taxes will be reduced in the same proportion and this is done unjustly, illegally and contrary to the intention of the municipal administrators.When the municipal council made an arrangement with the company to i bring in the municipality a new industry, they had no intention of granting a a commutation of school taxes.Br They are, like everybody else, tax-payers for school purposes and they gr would probably never have consented to such a sacrifice, had their attention a been drawn to the importance of their act.i Even if it would be their intention to pass such a commutation of school 8 taxes, their act would have been absolutely unjust and illegal for they have no yp right to legislate for school purposes.| We would suggest to municipal councils who have such restricted valuation 3 4 in their books to have two entries made on the valuation with reference to im- 1 moveables in question.In one roll column may be inscribed the reduced valuation in accordance with the special law which may have been passed and in the other will be inscribed the real value of the property for school purposes and for other purposes which may not be included in the commutation of taxes.Thus, justice will be rendered to the school board and the company can not complain for it never had the right to expect anything different. NIGHT CLASSES IN FRENCH 219 NIGHT CLASSES IN FRENCH It is not perhaps generally known that the Department of the Provincial Secretary provides for night classes in French for English-speaking people and night classes in English for French-speaking people.They are established in industrial centres whose population is at least 2500 souls.The classes are conducted (outside of the cities of Montreal and Quebec) under the auspices of the local school boards.The following are the principal regulations \u2014 1.The school board concerned passes a resoiution accepting the responsibility of opening night classes, and sends a copy to the Provincial Secretary, who alone has the right to authorize the opening of the classes.2.The school board appoints the teacher, under article 221 of the Education Act, when there is an enrolment of 30.3.Persons under 14 years of age, or who attend day school, are not admitted to the night classes.4.An enrolment and an attendance record has to be kept, with the name, ages and residences of the pupils.5.The average monthly attendance should not be less than 18.When that average, determined monthly, falls below 18 the class must be closed, if there is more than one class, and the pupils transferred to another.6.The school boards send reports to the Provincial Secretary on the first of each month, of the enrolment and attendance, sworn to by the teacher, as well as an annual report at the end of the year.7.The salary of the teacher is two dollars per night, paid by the Provincial Secretary.8.No amount will be paid for the night schools, however, unless the expenses and the statement of them have been sworn to by the secretary-treasurer and sent to the Provincial Secretary.9.When there are only two classes in a school, there will be no principal.10.The school board assumes the expense of the furniture, heating and lighting of the school for the night classes.11.The courses begin the first day of February.12.The classes are held at 7.30 to 9 o\u2019clock in the evenings of Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week.Correspondence should be addressed to M.Alexandre Desmeules, Assistant Secretary of the Province, Parliament, Quebec. 220 EDUCATIONAL RECORD FISHER TRUST FUND The annual report for 1932-33 of the Fisher Trust Fund is an interesting one.The revenue of the Fund left by the late Honourabie Sydney Fisher yields about $5,000.00 a year for the improvement of Agriculture and Protestant Schools in the County of Brome.During the last ten years, therefore, over fifty thousand dollars have been expended by the Fisher Trustees of the Fund in promoting the efficiency of the teaching staff, in encouraging school boards and ratepayers to bring school houses and sheds inta harmony with the Regulations of the Department of Education.The Fisher Trustees have also cooperated with the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies of the County.Forty elementary, three intermediate and two high schools benefit from the aid given by the Fisher Trust Fund.The Trustees rightly demand specific efforts on the part of the school boards and teachers for each contribution that is given in aid of progress.Among the principles guiding the determination of special grants are the following: \u2014 3.\u2014School Municipalities.\u2014 When a School Board in conference with the Fisher Trustees repairs a school house, school shed and toilets in conformity with the Regulations of the Department of Education and under the direction and approval of the Inspector of Schools, the Fisher Trustees will contribute one-half of the cost of the repairs of one school in a municipality each year; provided, however, that the contribution of the Fisher Trustees in the case of any one school shall not exceed $75.00.To be eligible for such a grant the Regulations of the Department of Education must be generally observed in the schools of the Municipality to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Schools.4,\u2014The Fisher Trustees will provide one-half the cost of twenty-four of \u201cThe New Empire Sanitary Single Desks\u2019, Nos.3, 4, 5, 6\u2014Vilas Company, F.0.B.at factory\u2014for one \u201capproved school house\u201d in each municipality\u2014the sizes and the installation however must be approved by the School Inspector.(See Reg.117-121).5.\u2014The Fisher Trustees offer to a School Board a grant equal to the teacher\u2019s monthly salary for each elementary school under its control which is recommended by the School Inspector as having fulfilled the following conditions: \u2014 (a)\u2014That it remains in session nine months.(b)\u2014 That it is held in an \u201capproved school house\u2019. FISHER TRUST FUND 221 (c)\u2014That the School Board has arranged to have the school rooms and toilets washed out regularly as required by Regulation 126 of the Department of Education.(d)\u2014That it is taught by a Standard Teacher.(e)\u2014That it has had an average attendance during the first eight months of at least ten pupils.6.\u2014An \u2018\u2018approved school house\u2019\u2019 is one that conforms to the Regulations of the Department of Education in relation to (a) Adequate Blackboard Space, (b) A jacketted Stove, (¢) Ample Cupboard Room, (d) A Clothes Rack, (e) Satisfactory Toilet Conditions, (f) Systematic Washing of School Rooms and Toilets, (g) Protection against public use when the School is not in session, Reg.149 (5), (h) A Set of Text-Books for the teacher\u2019s desk prescribed by the School Inspector, (i) School grounds suitable for play and giving evidence of efforts at improvement.Note.\u2014The Fisher Trustees require that the boys\u2019 toilet be provided with the urinal made by the Vilas Company.7.\u2014Teachers.\u2014Teachers are encouraged to make a special study of some aspect of their work each year, and to express their ideas in short Essays.The two best Essays in the County are awarded $25.and $15., and the two best Essays in each municipality $10.and $5.For such purposes the small municipalities of Eastman, Foster and East Farnham are regarded as one municipality.For the year 1932-33 twenty-eight Essays were submitted\u2014most of them of first class standing.8.\u2014General Standing.\u2014Prizes of $25.and $20.are offered to the two teachers in each municipality having the best standing according to the recommendations of the School Inspector, based upon the following points: \u2014 (1)\u2014The Teacher\u2019s Certificate.(2)\u2014The official report of the School Inspector.(3)\u2014The quality of the Essay submitted.(4)\u2014The supervision given to the pupils in the playground and at the noon hour.(5)\u2014The general attitude in relation to school improvement.9.\u2014Teachers\u2019 Salaries.\u2014 When a School Board provides for its teachers: first, a monthly salary of not less than $50.00; and, secondly, for Standard 222 EDUCATIONAL RECORD Teachers a bonus of five dollars for every pupil in attendance above twenty; and thirdly, a bonus of ten dollars for every year of service in the County as a Standard Teacher, the Fisher Trustees will provide one-half of the amount of the bonus.10.\u2014The Fisher Trustees offer to the school that secures the highest average attendance in each municipality a prize of $15.to the teacher and a prize of Books or other school material for the pupils.11.\u2014The Fisher Trustees encourage teachers to supervise the pupils during the noon hour\u2014under Regulation 149 (5)\u2014and to arrange for a hot luncheon for the pupils.Luncheon sets are available in all the schools in the County.12.\u2014In order to be eligible for a prize or a grant under the Fisher Trustees scheme a teacher must submit an Essay on the prescribed subject.No teacher is eligible for a first prize in the same competition two years in succession.13.\u2014When a Principal of a High School now engaged in the County receives a salary of at least $2,500.per annum, the Fisher Trustees will grant a bonus of $100.to the Principal for the first year; $200.for the second year, and $300.for the third and following years; upon a report, of the Inspector of High Schools that the Principal is efficient and satisfactory, and that he is re-engaged for the ensuing year.14.\u2014The Fisher Trustees provide for an additional Inspection of the Elementary Schools of the County in the month of November.The Fisher Trustees also co-operate with the Department of Education in securing the attendance of every Protestant teacher in the County of Brome at the Inspector\u2019s Conference held at Knowlton in September.At this Conference the general policy of the Board of Trustees is carefully presented and the teachers present are urged to give effective co-operation to the plans outlined.Cheques covering the prizes awarded are presented to the successful candidates at this Conference.15.\u2014Scholarships.\u2014 Free Scholarships are offered to pupils of rural district schools in the County who are able to enter at least Grade VIII and who desire to continue their studies in a Superior School, as follows:\u2014(a) To those pupils who held free scholarships the preceding session and who have taken the highest standing in the June examinations of the High Schools of all the pupils in their grade who were eligible for free scholarships, and (b) To those new pupils from the rural district schools of the County entering at least Grade VII who take the highest standing in the first term examinations of all pupils in their grade eligible for free scholarships, as follows:\u2014Knowlton High School, 4;

and also swings and see-saws.The enthusiasm with which these articles were met, and with which they are being used, well repays the trouble of getting them together.Some supervision on the part of the teachers and older pupils was needed, but the six-to-eight year old members of the school community soon learned to take their turns in the proper use of this apparatus.To revert again to the subject of Hockey, your Committee invites your discussion, criticism and decision on some suggested changes.to the Constitution of the Hockey League.We would iike to add the following rules: These changes were voted upon, and were made as follows: 1.\u2014No player shall be eligible to play in this League after he reaches his twentieth birthday.2.\u2014To establish eligibility to play in the school League a player must attend the school for which he plays sixty per cent of the school days of each of the months of October, November, December, January, February and March, of the current hockey Season.The Principal must certify as to this attendance.Changes in Clause 3, dealing with applications: 1.\u2014A list of fifteen players shall accompany the application for membership in the League.Each player shall sign the list himself, in his own handwriting, stating his age and the grade in which he is studying during the current year.This list shall be attested by the Principal of the school.This list may be altered at any time up to the 15th day of January of the current hockey Season, after which time no changes may be made, and no other players may play for that school.The burden of supplying satisfactory proof as to eligibility shall fall upon the school.2.\u2014The sum of $2.shall accompany each application, ail of which shall go to the League Executive.(I have added this clause as many games must be arranged towards the end of the Season by long distance telephone, and I have been out of pocket personally, in this respect.3.\u2014The school colors shall accompany each application.This will allow the school winning the cup to retain the colors attached to the cup, when they surrender it to the League the following year.I should like an assistant, who would take charge of some portion of the League.Such portion to be determined later when the schedule assumes more definite shape.

The building was visited and accepted by your inspector in October, but for lack of funds the school was not in operation during the year.This extends my district twenty miles north of Maniwaki.The trustees of St.Joseph de Wakefield have chosen a site for a school and they hope to have the building ready for use by September first.Another school house is being built in the municipality of Aldfield East and the board expects to have it ready for work by September.There are other sections of the district where there are a few Protestant children who cannot attend any school of their own faith.The taxes on property held by Protestants in such places would amount to very little.The chief burden for the support of schools, if they were started would necessarily fall upon the Department.There were ninety teachers at work.Their qualifications were as follows: H S.withB.A.1 Intermediate or Model.9 Elementary.65 Rural Elementary.3 Ottawa Normal.4 Without Diplomas.8 90 This shows that the number of unqualified teachers is very much reduced.Indications point to the conclusion that this class of teachers will be practically eliminated next year.Some teachers who had really retired are back at work. INSPECTORS\u2019 REPORTS 241 Others who might have retired continue to teach.More young students have taken up teaching as a profession.Twelve of them from this district took diplomas at Macdonald College this year.Salaries: During the past year salaries have remained as they were before, but I regret to report that next year they will be reduced,\u2014a great deal in most cases.The valuation of properties may remain the same but that does not indicate the ability of the owners to pay taxes.My sympathies are with the teachers and with the taxpayers.Length of Term and Rate of Taxation: These have remained as in past years in most cases.There have been some instances where the term was shortened.In Mansfield South the school will be in session only three months, and in No.2 Calumet Island the five pupils will attend only three months.In Litchfield Lower the teacher did not return after Christmas and the term was thus shortened to four months.This was really due to lack of funds as the board could not collect the taxes due.I regret that I cannot make the usual recommendations for successful teachers as the Government of the Province has had to discontinue the appropriations for that purpose.Let us hope that this is only a temporary matter and that funds will again be available in year or two.The teachers have continued to work faithfully and wisely.The following teachers are recommended for special certificates for good work in physical exercises in connection with the Strathcona Trust and the schools are entitled to the prizes: Jean McDougal, No.2 St.Etienne de Chelsea Elizabeth A.Duff, London Violet M.McMullen, No.4 South Onslow Myrtle Court, Valley Gatineau Klaine Currie-Mills, Clarendon No.10.Classification of Schools: Excellent.\u2014Onslow South, Portage du Fort, St.Etienne de Chelsea, Clarendon, Hull Township, Templeton North, High Falls, Masham North, Valley Gatineau, Cantley, Quyon, Onslow Centre, Eardley, London, Wakefield Nord, Aylwin, Maniwaki.
