Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly and "School Magazine", Vol. 6: January to December, 1884 An essential element in modern school education is the annual torture of examinations. This is a pinchbeck form of the doctrine of the "survival of the fittest" applied to schools, for on the results of these examinations depends the question of promotion of the pupils and efficiency on the part of teachers. The percentages obtained in these examinations are taken as the indices of the pupil's intellectual growth, and of the power of the teacher to foster and promote such growth. The highest value is thus affixed to such educational agencies as are able to formulate their results completely at the end of a single term, and the same spirit and principle reach into each day's achievement, each recitation and each single effort on the part of pupil and teacher. The educational process thus becomes a wrestle with words and formulas that the memory may subject them to its uses for recitation and examination. The age is full of the spirit of reform, but educational reform will be an idle dream so long as reformers and critics laud the successes wrought out by pernicious methods, and, while declaiming against "cramming," adjust their eyeglasses with great complacency, and commend in the highest terms those types of perfection which can only be attained by the most persistent and deadly cramming. So long as the teacher's professional status with directors and parents depends on the number of pupils promoted and the value of their averages, i so long we may expect that young eyes, opening to a vision of the world and life's possibilities, will be blinded by the dust of words ; so long the vitality of the future will be sacrificed to this much of folly in the schoolroom.

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly and "School Magazine", Vol. 8: January to December, 1886 The position was taken, in what was said in the two former articles, bearing upon the question, "What is the teacher's work?" that the acquisition of knowledge ranks in, the development of a symmetrical manhood, lower in importance than the acquisition of power, habits and tastes. However true this position may be in principle, the truth of its opposite is assumed almost universally in the practical working of our schools from the universities down to the primary grades. The limits of the present article will not permit of citing facts and cases to verify this statement; but facts and cases without number can be cited. Any careful observer of the work done in our schools, and of the tests applied to see that the work has been performed, cannot fail to notice that the acquisition of knowledge occupies, almost exclusively, the attention of both teachers and pupils. Were this not so the ability to "cram" could not be, as it actually is, one of the chief qualifications necessary to secure promotion and honour in many institutions of learning. Who does not know that the ability to pass examinations for promotion and honour does not depend upon the fine character the pupil has been forming under the guidance of a true teacher; does not depend upon the success of the teacher in developing symmetrically physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual power in the pupil; does not depend upon the acquisition upon the part of the pupil of habits and tastes by which both power and knowledge can be rightly utilized, can be made to serve the highest good of the pupil and of humanity? No, these are not the qualifications upon which high honors in passing examinations depend. Not unfrequently the highest honors go to some member of a class lacking in almost all of these.

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly and "School Magazine," Vol. 4: January to December, 1882 To cheat themselves and their master, when they have so fair an opportunity to do it. From Clarke's preface I extract a passage or two with which no one can help sympathizing, though happily not so applicable to schools in our day as they were in 1818, the date of the Corderius before us: The little progress made in our schools, says Mr. Clarke in 1818, or earlier, the first four or five years which boys spend there, is really amazing, and would naturally tempt a person of any re ection to suspect there must be some very great aw, some notorious mismanagement, in the common method of proceeding. How else comes it to pass that the French tongue is attained to a good degree of perfection in half the time which is spent in the Latin tongue to no manner of purpose? A boy shall be brought in two years to read and speak the French well whereas, in double time or more, spent at a Grammar School, he shall be so far from talking and writing Latin, that he shall not be able to read half a dozen lines in the easiest classic au thor you can put into his hands.

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly, Vol. 10: And "School Magazine", January to December, 1888 "Men would hardly fight about the best method of going up a ladder; but a hundred battles have been fought on the best method of training a child." So writes the about conditions or limitations shall it be author of Ecce Deus; and it is evident that the battles have not all been fought yet. We need not wonder that diversity of views should prevail regarding the matter of religious teaching in the Public Schools. I accept Mr. Le Sueur's ''open letter" in the issue of the Monthly for December as the honest and candid expression of his convictions on this subject, and I shall endeavour to state my objections to his position in the "spirit of candour and equit)" in which he desires that discussion should be carried on. There are at least three distinct questions which need to be answered, and which are variously answered, in connection with this matter: (1) Shall there be a religious element in the education of our children in the Public Schools? (2) Shall the Bible be used in imparting religious instruction? (3) If so, under what used? I am not quite sure what answer Mr. Le Sueur would give to the first question; but, if I have not misapprehended the drift of his letter, he would answer it in the negative. True, he speaks with approval of recognizing or being conscious of "a Cause behind all other causes," and of feeling "that the true word and righteous deed have a warrant higher than human society can vouchsafe"; but he does not admit that this belief about "the supernatural" should be inculcated on the children. Two passages in his letter seem to imply the contrary: (1) "In this country we are supposed to enjoy religious liberty. By this I understand that all creeds, positive and negative, stand on an equality before the law - that, so far as the action of the State is concerned, no man either reaps any advantage or is placed at any disadvantage on account of his religious opinions."

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly and "School Magazine;", Vol. 5 This set of social pictures is an interesting and valuable addition to the materials for a history of the reign of Anne. It is strange, considering the extreme attractiveness of the subject, that a good history of that period has not yet been written. While Macaulay lived, the theme was appropriated to his pen. That he did not live to handle it was deemed an immense calamity, yet it may have been a literary blessing in disguise. His work, amazingly brilliant as it is, and wonderful as is the art of conducting a narrative displayed in it, is not history, as all who know the history are aware. It is a splendid Whig epic, of which William is the hero; and the character of the hero, like everything else, is marred by rhetorical exaggeration. Point, picturesqueness, antithesis are perpetually sought at the expense of fidelity, and some- times in disregard of plain fact. Macaulay was devoid of philosophy; he never thinks of assigning his period to its place in general history; hardly ever does he even refer to anything beyond the four corners of his canvas. Hence his want of proportion and balance. Since his death the subject has been waiting for some one who could treat it worthily. Lord Stanhope tried, but the result was a mere abortion. The qualities which made his former work very pleasant reading, though not a masterpiece, seemed to have utterly deserted him. Mr. Button had given us a history of Scotland which, albeit not brilliant, was deservedly esteemed as a sober, trustworthy, and judicial narrative. His "History of the Reign of Anne" is sober with a vengeance, and saving some display of Scottish feeling, judicial; but it can hardly be called a narrative at all.

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly, Vol. 12: And School Magazine, January to December I do not know whether the Province has the power to change the existing system. That is a question of law with which I feel myself incompetent to deal, and which in any case could not be suitably discussed on an occa sion like this. One may certainly wish that it may be found to possess the power, or if not, that it may receive it. The system, itself, of separate or sectarian schools appears to be incapable of justification on any ground of right principle or even of wise expediency. I do not expect to see any permanent contentment in relation to the question while the system is maintained. The convie tion will continue to be deeply and generally cherished, that the equities of the situation have been disregarded and that the interests of the State have been sacrificed to meet the requirements of the Church of Rome.
