Schools Fund and carried on under the supervision of Mr.Geo.Fuller, B,A., have had a very successful season.i Four gardens have been added to the original five, making nine in all.The three years during which aid is given from the Macdonald Fund expires this year, and unless some measures are taken to provide funds for their support, the good work so well begun will come to an end.All who have had an opportunity of observing them during the time they have been in operation agree that they have much educational value, that they have accomplished some of the good they were intended to yield our rural schools, and that they are well worth the money and effort they have cost.However, in order to determine their proper relation to the rural schools, it is necessary to continue these gardens for a longer period. 266 THE EDUCATIONAI.RECORD.In the United States there seems to be an ever increasing 9 recognition of school gardens.In 1890, Boston had the = honor of establishing the first school garden in America.ot Nince that time much progress has been made and now a there are at least a dozen of gardens in the city each con- fr nected with a public school.The expense connected with uz them is borne by a group of citizens who are interested in wi the scheme but the schools control the gardens, Hartford fh ma has opened several gardens in connection with the public Le schools.The boys of Yonkers cultivate a garden of three gn acres 1n area subdivided into 250 plots, | Many other instances might be enumerated showing how the movement is spreading rapidly and growing in public 5 I favor.This is due to the fact that where the school iy garden exists people learn that the true object of the garden he is education not vegetables.fi The following extract from American Prose Masterpieces ge by Elbert Hubbard shows what can be done, even under He adverse circumstances.for the education of children through gr the instrumentality of the school garden : fg us \u201c Last summer, on a horse-back \u201cJide of a hundred miles or ir $0, I came to an out-of-the-way \u2018Deestrick School,\u201d just gl such a one as you see every three miles all over New York gv State, 8 5 This particular school-house would not have attracted : my attention specially had I not noticed that nearly half fe the school lot was taken up with a garden and flower-beds.ER No house was near.and it was apparent that this garden Ru) was the work of the teacher and pupils.Straightway I oi dismounted, tied my horse, and walked into the school- oil house.The teacher was a man of middle age \u2014a hunch br back, and one of the rarest, gentlest spirits I ever met.Ros Have vou ever noticed what an alert, receptive, and beau- [lm tiful soul is often housed in a misshapen body.This man The § was modest and as shy as a woman; and when [ spoke of fry the flower-beds he half apologized for them and tried to ha change the subject.When after a few moments he realized ME ç that my interest in his garden was something deeper than fs mere curiosity, he offered to go out and show me what he Bl had done.So we walked out ; and out, too, behind us Toki trooped the school of just fifteen children.* In winter we yy have sixty or nore pupils, but you see the school is small he ET SL IR RIE DI HH TT ETT THIS IE PAUP REC A RHR Bl EI HR RI GI RO EEE LOC LAN CE AU ER OU OC RUE 267 SCHOOL GARDENS.now.I thought I would try the plan of teaching out of doors, half the time, and to keep the girls and boys busy I just let each scholar have a flower-bed.Some wanted to raise vegetables, and of course 1 let them plant any seed they wished.The older children, girls or boys, help the younger ones\u2014it is lots of fun.When the weather is fine we are out here a good deal of the time \u2014just working and talking,\u201d explained the teacher.And that is the way this man faught\u2014 letting the children do things and talk.He explained to me that he was not an * educated \u201d man, and as I contradicted him my eyes filled with tears.Not éducat- ed?I wonder how many of us who call ourselves educated have a disciplined mind and can call by name the forest birds in our own vicinity ?Do we know the bird notes when we hear them?Can we with pencil outline the leaves of oak, elm, \u2018walnut, maple, chestnut, hazel, birch, or beech trees, so that others, familiar with these trees, can recognize them?Do we know by name or on sight the insects that fill the summer nights with melody ?Do we know whether the katy-did, cricket, and locust *\u2018 sing\u201d with mouth, wings, or feet?Do we know what they feed upon, how long they live, and what becomes of the tree-toad in winter ?I wonder what it is to be educated?Ilere was a man seemingly smitten by the hand of Fate, and yet whose \u201cheart was filled with sympathy and love.He had no quarrel with either the world or destiny.He was childless that he might love all children, and that his heart might go out to every living thing.The trustees of the school did not take much interest in the curriculum.I found, so they let the teacher have his wav.A \u2018collection of birds\u2019 eggs, fungi, and forest leaves had been made, and I was shown outline drawings of all the leaves in the garden.The idea of drawing a picture of an object led to closer observation, the teacher thought, and when 1 found.on questioning some of the children, that the whole school took semi-weekly rambles through the woods, and made close studies of the wild birds, as well as insects, it came to me that this man, far from any * intellectual centre,\u201d was working out a pedagogic system that science could never improve upon.Now, whether the iittle man realized this or not I cannot say, but I do not think he guessed the great- RARCSCUS PAGE 268 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.ness of his work and methods.It was all so simple\u2014he did the thing hc liked to do, and led the children out, and they followed because they loved the man and soon loved the things that he loved.Science seeks to simplify.This country school teacher, doing his own little work in his own little way, was a true scientist.And in the presence of such a man should we not uncover 2\u201d PLAYGROUND INFLUENCE.The poet expresses beautifully the permanence of the influence of one pupil upon another in the stanzas of the \u201c Arrow and the Song.\u201d The arrow though heedlessly and aimlessly shot into the air, nevertheless, found a resting place in an oak \u201cstill unbroke.\u201d The song breathed forth without purpose was found long afterwards * from beginning io end in the heart of a friend.\u201d In this brief lesson teachers are taught to regard the influence of the bolder,and baser element as a danger ever present in school'life and chiefly exercised on the school grounds.It is not necessary to * sing \u201d in order, that the \u2018- songs\u201d of such evil disposed pupils be found in the hearts of other pupils.The mere suggestion, the pencil markings and jack knife cuttings are all instruments of \u201c songs \u201d for such purposes.Many an innocent life is marred by such influences, and teachers ought to be constantly on their guard in behalf of the pure and the good Continual oversight is necessary to correct and prevent injury from individual influence as pupils commingle in \u2018school life.Such oversight is greatly assisted by a wholesome interest in something noble on the part of the pupils of the school.This may be an interest in the school work itself, or in some scheme of the teacher such as a school cabinet for curios, a reading library, an occasional concert, or anything else that brings her pupils into happy and intimate relations with the teacher.All outside wood-work, especially the outbuildings, should be heavily roughcoated with a mixture of sand and paint, which cuts the pencil point at one stroke and spoils the edge of the knife.The regulations require the teacher to daily inspect these outside premises, to exercise a judicious oversight at all OC \u2018 ACL 6s PET Aa - GOOD MANNERS.269 Dash WL, yg 2 or] CT Tu à ID fs Aa times, whether inside or outside, and it is well, that each teacher should know the regulations and accept the responsibility, for in too many schools the matter is looked upon as outside the roll of the teacher's duties.It should be remembered by the teacher, that mental exercises in arithmetic, employing small numbers, but involving the principles of the subject, are of greater value à than long and laboured examples done chiefly by the teacher\u2019s help.> Much more time should be spent on oral exercises and dug] in silent mental work, Even simple addition does not get sito a fair share of attention to make the pupils proficient .inh therein.The preliminary rules in arithmetic are.the i orthography of the subject and, if the pupil be slow and incapable in these, he will make little success afterwards.Practice will tend to perfection in time.GOOD MANNERS.It is an observation frequently made by many people, that * Our pupils are not as respectful toward the public as are those of the French schools.\u201d There is, indeed, some truth in the observation, but there is no reason why it wu should be so.iE - Our teachers are well-disposed and courteous, and their E influence and conduct are such as ought to produce proper À sa conduct on the part of their pupils.Moreover, most parents 3 el desire and endeavour in their homes to develop in their ] le children courtesy toward others.Wherein, then, does the 3 tls failure arise 2 Chiefly from a lack of co-operation between & soi the home and the school.Impatient criticism on the part E wl of either, soon destroys the pupil\u2019s confidence in the teach- E il ing of both, and insolent disregard soon takes the place of 1 ul ; respect and good manners.This attitude of disregard, É CÙ though held in check by the discipline of school and home, = nz readily assists itself on the highway or the play-ground 1 a : where restraints are more or less absent.\"BE lk I Our course of study requires daily instruction in morals, \u2018B honour, good manners, kindness and respect for others.Such lessons, however, are best taught by example following precept, and we urge on both home and school to see to it that their relations are consistent with their teaching. FN 2 I IN 4 i THE EDUCATIONAT, RECORD.HOME LESSONS Much judgment is required in assigning home lessons, so as to make them pleasant and helpful to the pupil.Too often these lessons are a greater task in the fag end hours of the day, than the whole eflort at school was from nine o'clock to four.Teachers, who succeed best, are those who require such work as admits of copying and other forms of weception to be done under their own careful supervision.Home work In arithmetic, parsing.analysis and drawing is never wise, for (there 1s no possible guarantee, that the (hinking has been done by the pupils.The pupils are taught by force of circumstances to lin and to deceive and the teacher is cheated in every lesson.Only such home lessons should be given as may be readily done by the pupils themselves.Much can be done by the teacher in prescribing the lesson to help in its preparation, indeed, a lesson well prescribed is half learned.Send the easy work home, keep the hurd at school LACHUTE ACADEMY.Lachute Academy was opened on Neptember 4th under very promising prospects, and the public look forward to a\u2019 successlul year.Our new principal, Mr.McBurney, comes to us from Granby, where he has had much success, and has a strong staft io support him in his duties as principal Miss MeQuaig.BA, Miss C.Moore, Miss R.Mclntyre, Miss B.C.Hall and Miss H.l\u2019aton, all teachers of experience, compose the staff\u2019 in charge ol the model and elementary grades of the school.The attendance is larger than during the last few years, and each class room in the lower departments'is filled and prospects are good indeed The attendance has been helped by the scholarships given by Mr.Perley, M.P., who offers 16 free tuition scholarships to the first pupil in each municipality in the en- trauce examination.At the formal opening the following prizes and scholarships were awarded on the Juue examination results : er Wl de Can \u201c An I LACHUTE ACADEMY.271 GRADE III.Acapemy.\u2014H.R.F.Strong, J.('.Wilson prize $10.00 ;

teachers are the next best; friends, relatives and.acquaintances carry the least weight.Br! the ep take bri: ch UE: | dc ple THE PIPES AU LUCKNOW 273 \\ THE PIPES AT LUCKNOW.[The Indian Mutiny, or revolt of the native soldiers (1857) against British rule, has been called \u201c the greatest fact of all Anglo-Indian history,\u201d Terrible massacres took place at Cawnpore and elsewhere, and Delhi was hesieged by a British force for months.The defence of Lucknow against the attacks of the mutineers is one of the most remarkable episodes of the Indian Mutiny.Sir Henry Lawrence had taken care to fortify the British Residency, and in this the British garrison, with the help of the women and even the children, managed to withstand the attacks of the besiegers until relief came.First General Havelock succeeded in forcing his way into the Residency, and afterwards complete.relief was brought by Sir Colin Campbell (1857).] Pipes of the misty moorlands, Voice of the glens and hills, The droning of \u2018the torrents, The treble of the rills !

Much good would also result from the increased taxation proposed, if our people were loyal toward our schools, but, in many of the municipalities, where wealth exists, there is no disposition to pay more than the minimum rate of the Catholic board.If the rate be increased beyond this point, some of the wealthiest rate-payers cease to dissent and the weight of taxation bears heavier still ou those Protestants, who remain.This feature of our school law has become a veritable rod of terror to our Protestant trustee boards.I say * Protestant\u201d only, because no Roman Catholic will treat his compatriots in such a manner.(3.) The third suggestion, to give all the Government grants of wealthier schools to the poor fund, might be of value, if generally adopted, but it would be necessary to take a local plebiscite in each municipality to determine the question.If the donation were agreed upon by a majority under existing laws it would still be a question, what right the majority had to tax the minority to the amount of the Government grant, since the law makes no provision for such a course.(4.) The proposal to tax ail Protestant property to form a poor fund would be ineffective owing to the right of all Protestant rate-payers to cease to dissent and thus withdraw their property from the Protestant roll.A very large proportion of Protestant schools are supported by dissentients, and so far as the property of such rate-payers is concerned the tax would be simply voluntary.To make 1t otherwise requires a change in the general law, and this we need not expect.No doubt much good will come from the conferences, for the end is not yet, and many other influences may be expected to act along the lines suggested and along other lines suggested by the local authorities themselves.RATE-PAYER.\\\\ Xe TABLE OF NEW PENSION FUND.277 TABLE showing the number and ages of pensioners of new Pension Fund and the amount of pensions paid in 1905-1906.PENSIONERS.Number of pensioners.Average age.Total of pensions.Average of pensions Division according to age of pensioners :\u2014 Male teachers 56 years and over.| Female teachers 56 years and over Male teachers under 56 years.Female teachers under 56 years.Teachers\u2019 widows Totals and total averages.cts.14,809.13 14,514.76 2,175.90 7,942.75 3,028.47 | $ cts.197-45 54.36 155.42 36.77 178.14 42,471.01 72.11 .Pensioners deceased in 1905 Pensioners who resumed teaching in 1905 Totals and total averages.1,375.46 214.87 1,590.33 New applications in 1905 :\u2014 New pensions granted Applications for deferred pensions Applications for pension refused.Pensions refused and pensions struck off in previous year and again granted in 1905 Totals and total averages.1,837.79 457.06 256.88 61.08 | 2,612.81 278 THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD.TABLE showing the Revenue and Expenditure, the amount of Capital of the Pension Fund of the teachers in primary - schools, for the year 1905-06.REVENUE.% cts.$ cts.Stoppage of 4% on grant to Public Schools.sa sea ar ac cena eue 6,400.00 Stoppage of 49% on grant to Superior Schools.oviivnini inne.2,000.00 Stoppage of 2% on salaries of Professors of Normal Schools.622.80 Stoppage of 2% on salaries of School Inspectors.200000 000000 863.01 Stoppage of 2% on salaries of Teachers 21,108.18 \u2018\u201c on pensions paid dur- INg Year.000.0 00e ns 000000 850.44 Stoppages paid to Department by teachers themselves.cooutn 314.04 Interest on capital for one year ending Ist July, 1905.0020000 000000 0,441.31 Annual grant from Quebec Government 5,000.00 Cheque cancelled.60.29 Total.\u2014 46,660.c7 EXPENDITURE._ For Pensions.\u2026.0000saasauuee 42,471.01 Stoppages repaid out of Revenue.728.74 Cost of management.457.70 Balance.Se.3,002.62 Total.ovovntn.\u2014 46,660.07 Balances accumulated on Revenue and Expenditure from 1899 to last year.8,788.33 Balance of this year.3,002.62 Total.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026.I1,791.05 CAPITAL ACCOUNT.1905, July 1st.Amount of capital to date.1202020000 sense sa 0 san 0000000000 189,174.34 RECEIPTS 1905-06.Stoppage on pensions added to capital.257.92 Other Stoppages belonging to capital.16.53 Total.274.45 Deduct : Reimbursement out of capital.84.88 Balance.0000000000 -\u2014 189.57 Total.0400000 0000000000 189,363.91 Ai Westnas Sherbroo Granbr.Hunting: chute.Coatieon Sanstea Dagrille.Inrernes: Cookshin Donbam.Lengo!
