To the Warden and Council of the

GENTLEt1RR.-I beg leave to eobmit my
annual report on the state of Poblio
School Education in the Inspectorate of
East Hum for the year 1905,

There are 123 Poblio School Depart.

Tbeee were in oharge of 83 male and 90
female teeohere,-a deoresoe of four
male teeohere. In 1904, 44 school
dspartmeoto changed - teeohere ; do
1905 there were 51 ohangee,
Wbeo there were more teachers than
eahoole, eahool boards took advantage of
the commercial law of supply. and
demand and, as a cooeeque00e ealerie,
became lower and lower year after year.
Daring the last three pears teeohere
have availed themeelvee of the 000001ty
ofte0ohers and have not hesitated to
maga their (tamale when a higher salary
could be obtained elsewhere. Whatever
mama is due in the ease of teachers is
equally applicable to Boards of Trustees.

The three' large continuation oleea
schools in tide inopeotorate are doing
their genal eaaooeefnl work. Two of
Mese schools Wingham and Brussels
each have two teachers devoting their
entire time to High eobool work, At
the High school examinations in July
they were more e000eerf01 than many of
the Higheoboole of the province. Blyth
employe but one teacher for High Sobool
work. This eobool also had good 8000000

were 504 pupils taking up High Sobool
etediae in the public' wheel() of this
inopeoborete during the year 1905.

During 1905 the village of Wroxeter
built a fine two roomed brink aohoolhouse

to equal, If not superior, to any other two
roomed eobool in, the province. It cost
$6500 and is cheap at that prise. School

fine one roomed briok wheel house • with

a oredit to the action.
Union 8. B. No. 16, Howiok and, Grey
rebuilt their school house, veneering 'it
with brick. It omit about $1500 and i8 se

I have not urged the building of new
+obool houses for some time as I hope
that the formation of ooneolidsted sohoo?s
will receive each encouragement from the
education departmentae to make it a
me question. Every new school is au
obstacle in the way of consolidation.

CONOLu019N.
It hae become the fashion for college
profeesio0e and others who have nob
stood inside of a public school for thirty.
or more years to carp at and oritioiee un-
favorably the work done in tbeee schools.
I.bave been a teacher for the past forty
one years, and during all that time nob
an boor of my waking life has been free
from the thought of the work done in
our 1.nblio and high eohoole, and how it
might be improved ; yet I have no heel.
ation do eayrug that our public schools
nave made greater progress than any of
the allied profoanione, Divinity, Law or
Medicine.
To compere one of our good modern
eohoole with a similar taboo) of forty
years ago is like 0omparing a modern
exprese train wlth the stage ooaoh it
displaced.
Much remains to be done but it will
be done in due time.
In aonolueion I may add that all the
soboole were visited at least twice during
the year, onadin eaoh term, The dates
of these visite are appended.
Daring the poet fifteen years every
school department has been vieited twice
each year.
