THE district school-master was sitting behind his great book-laden
desk,
Close-watching the motions of scholars, pathetic and gay and
grotesque.

As whisper the half-leafless branches, when Autumn's brisk breezes
have come,

His little scrub-thicket of pupils sent upward a half-smothered hum.

Like the frequent sharp bang of a wagon, when treading a forest path o'er,

Resounded the feet of his pupils, whenever their heels struck the floor.

There was little Tom Timms on the front seat, whose face was withstanding a drouth; And jolly Jack Gibbs just behind him, with a rainy new moon for a mouth.

There were both of the Smith boys, as studious
as if they bore names that could bloom;
And Jim Jones, a heaven-built mechanic, the
slyest young knave in the room,

With a countenance grave as a horse's, and
his honest eyes fixed on a pin,
Queer-bent on a deeply-laid project to tunnel
Joe Hawkins's skin.

There were anxious young novices, drilling
their spelling-books into the brain,
Loud-puffing each half-whispered letter, like
an engine just starting its train.

There was one fiercely muscular fellow, who
scowled at the sums on his slate,

And leered at the innocent figures a look of unspeakable hate,

And set his white teeth close together, and gave his thin lips a short twist,

As to say. "I could whip you, confound you! could such things be done with the fist !"

2. PROTECTION FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN. eine section of the British Medical Association at its recent meetAmong the numerous wise suggestions made in the Public Mediing, was one calling for further legislative action to protect the health of school children, in private as well as in public schools, and to remedy defects which exist here more glaringly than abroad. Pointing out the manifest deficiency of sanitary arrangements, especially in the majority of private schools-the unfitness of things themselves, the lack of cubic space and ventilation, the absence of playgrounds or other means of physical training, &c.—it is proposed that all persons acting as teachers be required to obtain from an educational examining board a certificate of competence, including some knowledge of the laws of health; that no premises be allowed to be used as schools unless certified by a surveyor and medical officer of health as in every respect adapted to educational purposes; that the maximum number of children to be admitted to each school be fixed; and that the Medical Officer of Health have access for inspection at all reasonable hours. That a similar reform is still more urgently needed in this country, most of our readers know. Even our public schools, held in buildings constructed for lightened care of the public authorities, are, as we have frequently their especial use, and supposed to be under the watchful and enshown, generally models of all that schools ought not to be; overcrowded and unventilated; poisoned, not only with the pent-up exhalations from the inmates, but frequently with adventitious sewer-gases. And very many private schools, wholly exempt from any semblance of official supervision, are in a worse case. One or two rooms in an ordinary dwelling house, barely suitable for the sanitary needs of a small family, are hired by some speculative pedagogue, who knows no limit except that imposed by the dimen- · anxious to pack therein. Ventilation in warm weather depends on sions of benches and desks to the number of pupils whom he is inadequate windows, and in winter these are shut and the scholars wedged closer together to make room for an air-tight stove; and in such pens in every town in the Union hundreds of children stifle half the day, and sap the foundations of their health. More particularly does this apply to the younger classes of pupils, who at the most susceptible age too frequently fall into the hands of persons with just sufficient knowledge to teach the lowest rudiments of learning, but altogether ignorant of the simplest and most essential rules of hygiene. In a matter so nearly concerning our national welfare it is time that some action were taken, and we might treat our school children with at least as much consideration as we show our convicts, by requiring certain specified sanitary conallotment of cubic space for each.-N.

As the School Census of 1875, which the School Trustees are required by law to take, will likely be the basis of the Legislative School apportionment of 1876, it is most important that the Inspectors should see that it is accurately taken in every School Section, incorporated village, town, and city.

cating countries of Europe, I laid before our Government 33 early in 1846 the results of my inquiries, and the con19clusions at which I had arrived, in a Report entitled "Report on a System of Public Elementary Instruction 38 for Upper Canada," pp. 191. My Report was approved by the Government, and I was directed to prepare a draft of Bill to give it effect. That Bill was brought in and conducted through the House by the Hon. W. H. Draper (then Attorney-General), and became law in the spring of 1846; it was based upon the system of Municipal (or District) Councils, as they then existed, and provided for the establishment of a Normal School, and uniformity of school text books as well as school libraries. In 1847 I prepared a draft of another School Bill, which was introduced into and conducted through the Legislature by the Hon. J. Hillyard Cameron (then Solicitor-General), creating one Board of School Trustees for each city and town, with other provisions. A change of government taking place soon after, the late Hon. Robert Baldwin introduced in 1848 his famous Bill for the complete system of county and township Municipal Councils. In 1850, at Mr. Baldwin's request, I prepared a draft of School Bill consolidating the previous Acts, and introducing amendments suggested by my experience and by various parties at County (then District) Conventions which I held in each county of the Province during the autumn of 1847, adapting the whole to the new municipal system. Mr. Baldwin devoted two days with me in adapting every part of that Bill to the municipal laws of which he was the author, and in perfecting its provisions, as far as we could; so that it became and continued the charter of our school system until 1874-for the several School Bills passed between 1850 and 1874 were but extensions and supplements to the School Act of 1850, suggested by the progress of the system, and concurred in by County School Conventions held throughout all the counties in 1853, 1859, 1866 and 1869.

At all these conventions, among the subjects proposed in the circulars calling them, were

To consider any sugges"tions which may be made for its improvement."
