Ibeg to suhmit my repOl'~ on theschooIs of Elgin (East)'for
trhe'fiht hal'f of lOW'-1
TheTe a.l'e'~6'Rul'<l,1 School Sections in [nf;lp~ctorate. ci~ntaining 87
Dep;ntments. 'There are _ three Urhllu schools containing 15D~paI't~
lnent5, rrmking in aU 102 Departments in charge of 102 teachers.
Abo1,lt 20 teachers-are teaching on 3rd.'Class Oertificates or on re-
o newaJs of Thirds. mu.de'by the Minister of Education, 'because of the'
I scal.'dty of legally q ualifted teac~ers. 0 1~hese certiJicates will expire ,en
the 8b~h .June, and I fear 'J\'ustees will ,experience much difficulty 'in
finding,legally qualified teachers in sufficient numbers to satisf.ythe
nee<1s.
1: haye visited all the teachers once and some oftener since January
. 1st, making in all 129 visits; , ,I
My s{~cond v,isitsconvince tUe th\l.tit is of great advantage and"
vallw' tOS(lr~l~ schoolsf?l' the lnspe'ctor to'visit them f~eq'uently.
I found all teachers, without eXception, doing their very best in
the, interests of their pupils, the only difference. being in ability and
tra.ining.
There are three splendid cOlltinuation schools and about 35 Pliblic
schools with Fifth classes 'in my Inspectorate. rrhese schools are doing
a most valuable work for the people of this county;'not: t.he leastbeiilg ,
that they are inducing parents to continue their children at school for'
pne orlUore yelusafterpassing the H. S~ Entrnnce. It is' due to this
that'more p~pils are to be found a.tour High Schools, necessitating hi
the cHse~ of Aylmer and Du~ton, an increase of staffs.
You will find, that in v/?rymanycases this- ambitionforn l1igh~l'
!3ducation WIlS born and nm'turec1 in the Continuation Schoo~s and
Fifth Classes. We CI;1Unot hope that these schoolS" so many lof them in
charge of young girls witho~ly Second Cln,ss Certific[!.tes, will as yet,
do as efficient wo~k asHigh Schools inchluge of four or five or more
U"niversity Grad lVttes, hut they are doing wondrously well and deserve
the sympathy and'snppOl.t of nll who are honestly anxious fol' It higher
stn,uda,rd of Education Rod ,mental development in our people. These
schools cannot be too generously supported.'
As I ~ave reported a.t, previous times, n.ll our schools have been
generouslyeq,uipped, so much so that Elgin has been cited ,for othel'
Connties to copy.
The character of our School Honses is constantly improving; Old
,
honses built fifty 01' more years Ilgo are giving'phtce to modeI'll new
ones, coillfortl'lbleand "vith upto date sanitary conditions. Tpe grea.t-
est lack ~n our school nccolllodatioll is'a lamentable want'of decoration.
S!',) many walls are hare, so many yards al'El plain, and ugly and uUat-
tractive. This should- not he so. The school and its surroundings
should be the mostbeautifnl spot in the community, '(he walls of the
, school room should be decorated with a few good pictures Ilnd the
'gronnds with trees,fl(HVel'ing shrubs and vines and flowt'r heds. Let
Out' children constantly look on the beautiful at school that it' may be
reflected in their homes._
I am glad to report the school ga;rden idea in education ha..s'l'f>nlly
rriade a. vigorous start in this Inspectorate; Thel'e have been It few
flower beds here and there, for years, but now a standard. 'school gard-'

application that several plans and estimates for the improvement of I
the harbor had beeu pr'epared. ""Ve believe that-the necessity for iluw

L That they ,va-ited upon the Honorable, ,the Minister of Public
,'Wo~ks and the Attorney General of Ontario, and stated, t,he County's
position ,and desire for additional aid' towards the large expenses in~
em'red in connection with this I'oad.

As th(~ result of our considerl;ttion of the matter, we -believe that
there :is a reasonahle possibility., with the assistance of the Provincial
Government, of-enfOl'clng a elaim against, the Oounty of Middlesex for
,a.refund of $8220:00 paid hy J1jlg-irito that County. This amount was,
i~tthattime a liability due hy the OC)unty of Middlesex to the Govern-
ment hut bas never been paid over by the County of Mid.dlesex, nor
has the Govel'ment I'ndeavel'ed to enforce the claim. At Confeder-
ation.'al~ nH\'tters of t.his kind passed nnder the direction of t.he Prov_
incial authorities, and we beJiev,e that the proper action for this
conhty to take IS to request,them to enforce the claim against" Middle-
.. sex Hud,pa.y over the 'amount due Elgin.
It is advisah'lethat 'future deputations, if any aI'e appointed to d-eul

the interest taken by the repl'es61ltatives of this Departnient, ,Itis n:n
undisputable fact thn.t questions of education in this Province art~
most important. espedalJy'of Public Schools which in the opinion'of
many delagates, were generaHv, n~glected., The condition ofth~'
schools is largely, if not solely, due to the lack of interest on the part:
of the people and the Jack of organization and efficiency of the trustee~. '
Attention wa.sdrawn to ,the fa'ct that High Schools and Universities
are under a more efficient direc'tion and mrinagement than are the
Puhlic Schools under the Trustee System. The larger s'Chools are
generally represented at the meetings of the Educational Associa~
tion by oelegates who are competent to 'discuss and appreciate th~ adA
dresses H,nd opinions of men who' have devoted years of their life and
t,alent to the question of edu~ation.The fact that only abOllt 5 pel'
cent of the children atteriding,th~ Public Schools ever advance to thf"
High School was given as a rea;son for the statement ,that the interest
of pal'ents of most' children in their edilCation ceased when they pas:,
s{~d their Entrance Examination. This may account to sonie extent
for the statementthat pupils in O?lIeglate Institutes and High'Schools
cost $4-7ROO pel' hear as compared with $17.00 in the Public-Schools.

YonI' Committee are of the opinion, that this is a step in the right dh'~

That,the Oonvention washe1d in March, nnd the attendmWe\VHS
the largest ill the history.of the Association. The pl'a.ctical interest
which was' taken hV the Councils and-Officia.ls of the Counties in which
the Provincitil Hig-hwayImprovement Act has heen adopted, hns led n
great many- to tllke a m.ore intelligent. io't'erest in theeonstruction of

iJra~tically It clearing hOllse for the exclulllgeof ideas in' ':reference to ,
'the best methods to, be adopted in connection 'with this 'class of \I,-Ql"k.
Theprogramme i,ncluded, addresses .in refereu'ce to almost every'

ijIl countieswhel'e the Highwa.y Improvement Act ,has not been adop~
