32 Belmont Street, Montreal. The Corporation of McGill University is associated with the Superintendent of Public Instruction in the direction of the McGill Normal School under the regulations of the Protestant Committee. The Normal School is intended to give a thorough training to Protestant teachers. The complete course extends over a period of four annual sessions, an Elementary School Diploma being obtained at the close of the first session, a Model School Diploma at the close of the second, and an Academy Diploma at the close of the fourth. All these Diplomas are valid as authorizations to teach in any part of the Province of Quebec, without limitation of time. None are admitted to the School but those who agree to devote themselves to teaching in the Province of Quebec for at least three years. To such persons, however, the advantages of the School are free of charge, and the sum of $1,200 is annually distributed in bursaries to aid in the payment of the board of the forty most successful pupils that do not reside at home during the School session. A small allowance for travelling expenses is made to those who reside more than ninety miles from Montreal. All candidates who present certificates of having passed in Grade III. Model School Course, and all holders of Elementary School Diplomas, are exempt from examination for admission to the Elementary School Class. All candidates who have passed at the A. A. examinations, taking two-thirds of the aggregate marks, and who have passed in French, and all holders of Model School Diplomas, are exempt from examination for admission to the Model School Class. Holders of Elementary School Diplomas, desiring admission to the Model School Class, are examined in Algebra, Geometry and French only. The conditions of admission in other cases may be learned by consulting the prospectus of the School. The next session of the School opens in September, 1890. Names of candidates will be enrolled on the 1st and 2nd days of the month, examinations will be held on the 3rd, successful candidates will be received and lectures will commence on the 4th. Forms of application and copies of the Prospectus of the School may be obtained by application to the Principal, Dr. Robins. When issued, the Prospectus of the School will be sent to every Protestant minister of Quebec, as far as addresses can be found. MONTREAL.

Nos. 6 & 7. THE EDUCATIONAL RECORD OF THE HE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH THE PROTESTANT COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL In the ideal school, which would be to any teacher, even to him who is most highly imbued with missionary proclivities, a wellspring of joy and source of perpetual delight, there are only those children who have grown up with good English, who know no incorrect forms, because they have heard none. They have come from homes of culture and refinement, have "tumbled about in libraries" in infancy, have known always a surrounding of books till books themselves, the great refiners, are as familiar to them as the pleasant smile of the mother. " In this Utopian realm are none who make you shiver with the I seen's" and "I taken's" so common in the ordinary schoolroom; none who rasp your nerves and make you wish unutterable things with "I have saw" and "would have went," the seeming delight of the average schoolboy. These ideal pupils enter the kindergartens and primary schools, are developed by nature's beautiful methods, acquire a good vocabulary and pleasant expression. The grammar school has only to continue the work and direct the energies, and, by leading them into the purest and best paths of literature, guide them to the coveted goal, correct thought correctly expressed. Although Mr. Bellamy failed to mention this point, such a condition of affairs may well be classed among the delightful realizations of the year two thousand, when life is to be free 10 COLLEGE LIBRARY |
