C. Ulasha*i, formerly Public School Inspector of Ottawa, recalls an event of great im- portance in the history of school ad- ministration, in ,the 'Province. In 1871 Dr. Ryerson, prescribed certain qual- ifications for school .inspectors; pre- vious to that time the public schools of the Province had been superintend- ed or supervised by clergymen and municipal officers; in fait, by any one who had a little intelligence and a little leisure. 'Ho'wever, in 1871, all that iwas changed, anda special.i examination was held in order to en=' able candidates' to qualify fee the new ' position of inspector, and a Sufficient number" did qualify to "man" the Province. John C. Glas- han was one of these. He was ap- pointed to West Middlesex. Three or four years later he went to Ot- tawa. (Rniimor at the time said that, in order to quality a sufficient num- ber of inspectors to meet the needs, the examiners lowered the minimum, standard in some cases. By a cur nous twist of fate the young man who was (most frequentl'y twitted with! having profited by the leniency of the examiners was a very inspiring. teacher, and by the time he -had reached middle life was the most prominent, of all the appointees of 1871. I. have 'before ire a list of the inspectors taken from Dr. Ryerson's Report for 1871, and, as, far as my knowledge goes theme is only one survivor, namely Hon. R. Harcourt, Welland. It is worth noting that in the 'sixty years that have since' pass- ed nt fundamental ehtange has been made in Dr. Ryerson's regulation, anti to -day We have a staff of very com- petent om ,petent school inspectors 1•n eharge off; the p't blit •and.:separate schools oto' 1 StyiishSpring Attire for Madam and Miss.

Some newspaper reports of Dr. Glashan's death said. •that he had once been a teacher in London Model (School. That wasan error. There was nomodel school in Lon- don in his time. The school in which he taught • was known as the Union 'School. (,.understand that it was e public school having some pupils cov- ering high school work." Mr: Pren- dergast is 'well known locally, being a former resident of Seaforth. At one time he was a teacher on the staff of the 'Seaforth 'CollegiateIn- stitute. ° Until his resignation aA few years ago, he iwas ,principal of the London Normal School. LOCAL BRIEFS Mr. J. H.
