E. ISLAND| (Continued from page 2, ) Georgetown, and other important school- houses were erected about this time. ‘The following extract from Superintendent Manping’s report for 1878 shows that at the advent of our present echool system there was vast room for improvement in the teaching profession : “Foremost among the hinderances to the progresa of educa. tion on this Island is the large number of | farmer teachers employed and the irregu - larity of attendance ; and when, as is often the case, these oceur in the same district, the result is disastrous to the echools, A moderate amount af muscular exertion | sbould operate only to improve tke teach~ ers efficieucy; but it can be easily eeen that the service suffers in the case , Of one farming on such a scale as to re- quire a $160 mowing machine, while his school is graded second rank by the County Inspector. Another dragging his weary limbs into the achoolroom half an hour lave is so little interested in the studies of tenor twelve youngsters that he soon drops off in adoze! Trustees have more than once described these farmer teachers as just going into the school to rest them- selves, This is a matter which only the people can remedy by refusing to employ this unprofitable class of schoolmasters.” In 1880 was introduced a system of classification of graded schools based on merit alone. Upto that year first-class schools were established by a vote of the Board of Education and retained their rank without any regard to efficieocy. They are now raised to that rank wheuever they reach the standard fixed by the Chief Superintendent of Education. This step has made these schools centres of educa - tional activity. Those of them that ceased to be such were drupped from the list of first-class echools and assigned an inferior rank uotil by merit they again won the position lost. The Provincial Teachers’ Association was instituted in 1880. It was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1896. This As. sociation iS in @ yery prosperous and progressive condition. It meets durinz the tirss week of October, each year. The first P. E. Island Teachers’ Association we have any recordof was formed inthe Central Academy, Charlottetown, in 1838, the object being mutval improvement in the artof teaching as well as redressing any grievance then subject of complaint. The Association was directed by a presi- jent, vice«president, treasurer, two secre- taries and a committee of six, who were to hold meetings quarterly. The constitu- tion consisted of ten clauses and the yearly assessment for each member was | five shillings, about eighty cents cf our present money. The first meeting was held in the Central Academy, October loth, 1839. In 1381 a general course of studies for the grading of the putlic schools was adopied. In the tame year a genera! syetem of @Catrance examinations to i’rince ot Wales College and Normal Schoo! was established. . Theee examinations are under the control and the direction uf the Chief Superintendent of Education. In the following year several important amendments were made tothe Public Schools’ Act which greatly increased its efficiency. In 1883 the study of Agri- cultural Chemistry was introduced into the echools cf the Island, and two years later an Arbor Dsy was established for the schoole. In 1861 a census was taken ana the schoo! housea were found to number 302, the teachers 280, In 1870 the total num- ber of schoole was 372 aud scholars 15 000. In 1874 the pumber of schools was 403, of scholars 18,233. The salaries of teachers tnen ranged ‘rom $113.56 to $324.44. In 1878 there were 465 schools, 413 teachers and 19,240 scholars. In 1881 there were 486 schools, 463 teachers employed, and 21,601 pupiis. In 1837 there were 437 schools, 595 teacbers and 22,460 pupils. teachers aod having an enrolment of 21.845 pupils. The salaries paid teachers range trom $'30 to $783.
