INSPECTOR'iS REPORT. ,Following is the report of Inspector Beacons prepared since the meeting of the county council in response to the wish that such a report be presented: Goderich, Jan. 30th, 1931. To The Warden and Members of the 'Huron County Council. Gentlemen:-- In entlemen:—In accordance 'with the desire ex- pressed at the recent session of the Huron County Council, I beg to sub- mit - the following annual report on the condition of the public schools com- prising the I'nspectbrate of 'West Huron, for the year 1930. ,All the schools in the Inspectorate, to the number of 100 rural and 4 urbanhavebeen open h' troughout the year. In the rural schools 112 teach- ers are regularly employed, and in the urban schools, 24 teachers. The number of male teachers shotes a slight increase over the previous year, the , number being 18 as compared with 15 for the year 1929, The grade of the teachers' certificates remains practically the same es last- year, there e e laing 43 teachers 'with ft rst class certificates, es, and 91 with t second. class'certifi tate . s The fact thatthe e news system ys e n of grants provides for a grime of $60 when the teacher holds an interim first class certificate while no grant is paid on an interim ec n s o d •,•i l l undoubted} • lead to an increase crease in the number of teachers holding the higher certificate, With few exceptions, the teachers have performed their duties during the year in a creditable manner, and the pupils have Made progress in keeping with their abilities. Efforts have been shade to increase the ef- ficiency of the teachers in service by directing their attention to new methods which have proved success- ful elsewhere. The teachers have shown tom- mendable .skill in introducing these methods into their class rooms. In the past all too frequently, tea'chers have been• content to: follow the same methods from year to year and not to keep abreast.of modern educational developments. The increased interest shown by the teachers in modern pedagogical tendencies has been re- flected`, in the increased efficiency with which the schools have been conducted. 'Another feature of the teachers' interest in .their work, has been the number who are endeavor- ing to increase their qualifications and to obtain higher certificates. 'Pro- vision to this end is made by the De- partment of Education through sum- mer courses, and year by year, in greaier numbers, the teachers are availing themselves of these oppor- tunities. This I bel1eve, . is an indi- cation of the efforts being made- by the contnttstyity when. the pupils at- tend with regularity. Absence of pupils meads waste of time • and effort on the part of the teacher and other pupils, and consequent dimin- ution of the effectiveness of the in- struction given. Teachers are now required to inquire into all' absences as soon as they occur and to make every effort to• hlave the absentee re - urn to school as soon as poss'ib'le. rhe teachers also -must report to the attendance officer and the inspector all -••troublesome cases at the end 'of each month. These are promptly in- vestigated,.,usualiy With the result that the co-operation of the parents is secured in hassling the child return to school ,at once. Ili •only one ease during the year has' it beennecessary to intimate th'alt court action would be taken, and this extreme course wa eventually not 'necessary, The pupil itt all schools attended 89' per cent. o the time, with more than 'half th absences' due to .. illness. lApproxim ately 5 per cent. of the absences were clue to unlawful causes and represen cases where the pupils could have been at school but were kept at 'hon to work, or on account of the indsf Terence on neglect of the parents. 'I these parents realized the trenen dous value , of regular•. attendance' such absences would be largely mini mized. During the year there has been a increased enrolment in the school there being a total enrolment of 3874 in all schools as compared with 3795 for the previous year. ,It is a matter of considerable interest to note such an iucrease,•,as the` decline, in enrol- ment has been Steady over a period of years, The increase has been largely due to the numbers of primary pupils admitted' for the first time, there 'being 411 such pupils admitted in 1930. iTihe supply ,of teachers has been adequate, and trustee boards have ex- perienced no difficulty in filling any vacancies, It has been noted how- ever, that the surplus of teachers which existed two years ago, has been about entirely absorbed, and. all .Nor ntal 'Schools report decreased enrol- ments for the present year. Un- doubtedl'yit will be increasingly diffi- cult to secure capable teachers and trustee boards would be well advised to retain the services of their present staff, where satisfactory work' is be- ing done. The factor largely respon- sible for the anticipated shortage is the second year which is now requir- ed at Nlormal 'School After a maxi- nium period of four years, all teachers must undergo a second year of train- ing. 'This starting with next year, will withdraw each year many teach- ers From service, and in addition has caused many prospective candidates 'for the teaching. profession to take up some other line of work. I:f salaries in our. schools are reduced, as seems probable in some cases, the attractive features, which have char- acterized the pro'fessi'on for the last few years, will have largely disappear- ed, and the period of the predicted shortage will be accelerated. Teachers' salaries for the year 1930 remained on a parity'with the previ- ous year, $1,000 still being the prevail- ing salary paid in rural school's. The total salaries paid all teachers was t$137,I694, or an average of slightly over $14,000 for the 136 teachers regu- larly employed. The highest salary paid any teacher in the public schools is $1700 there being two teachers in receipt f o this a ' P mount. 1 It onlyone 3 instance cher receive less than a salary of $300 at the present time. (The year has seen many improve- nteets being carried out in the charac- er of school accommodations. One new school was. built .during the year in S. S. No. 1, Stephen, and is a splendid example of the modern type of rural school, Inside toilets are x •i of dcrl an inside 1 su It n of hard. p and soft rt t' \ate! electric lighting has been installed, t few desks and 1 black- boards boards leare been provided, and the pupils have all the conveniences found in any urban school, Another school, No. 10 Clod ' et Ich was com- pletely, r - on let l p e y remr,delled and what was for- merly a poorly lighted interior, has been converted into a bright attrac Live classroom, Many schools have been interior -decorated during the past two years; in •addition to the 20 schools thus improved in 1929, some 15 more schools were decorated last midsutnnter. In a number of ,cases, a complete transformation has been effected in the interior with most be- neficial results in the appearance and lighting of the classt:oanl, New we'lls were sunk itt proximity to seven schools' during the year, new hiack- Frida February20th Friday, We are going to hold a • TractorSchool.

Unless pupils die - 1 velop a love for reading during their public school' days, in all 'probability e they are going to do little reading in e later. life. What such.people miss is f only realized by those who have made themselves familiar with the great taasterpieees of English ,literature, (During the year 19'30, some 2,090 vol- umes were placed in the sch'onls at a cost of $1•,375; if a similar expendi- n ture were made from year to year, ex - s, celletit libraries would soon be built up in all'our schools. The attendance in the fifth classes has beert well maintained during the year, the enrolment for the autumn_ term being it excess of last year. This inspectorate is outstanding in the num- ber of. fifth classes that have been es- tablished, due to the fact that many areas are remote from • a secondary, school. There are eight fifth classes in two and three-room schools, with a total enrolment of 61 pupils at the present time, one school having 15 and another 12 pupils in attendance The Legislative grant received by these schools in December was $926.- 37; the county grant is double this tfigure, `so that the trustee boards con- cerned receive very material assis- tance in maintaining these classes. Very satisfactory work is being ac- eo'mp'lis'hed in these schools, and they are performing a valuable service to the communities in which they are located. The fact that the pupils in attendance are able to be at home for a two-year period, When they other- wise would have to attend a .secon'd- ary` school at some distance, is not the least important factor in their 'usefttiness. (Besides the above schools, instruc- tion in fifth class. work is being ,given in 17 one -roomed .rural schools, with a total attendance of 31 pupils. The schools where such instruction is giv- en vary .from year to year, according to local couditions.'That valuable work is being done in these schools can be judged from the fact that the pupils from these schools passed in 80 of the 94 papers written et the Lower ;School examinations in June last. The resulting percentage of papers pass- ed, 80.8, compares very favorably with the last available provincial fi- gure of 69.3 per cent. In no case previous to this year, hes the necessary equipment been provided in order that these schools of only one room may share in the grants paid for fifth classes. I't has not seemed wise to recommend that, such equipment be obtained, either on account of the small attend t arc or e, the uncertainty t of the permanency e intones p cy of the class. Last autumn, however, the boards of three such schools have been induced to undertake the pro- vision of the accessary equipment as it seems probable that fifth classes will b.e a permanent feature ill these cases. :Progress has been made during the year in the introduction of the teach- iigof vocal music In the schools Y 0 ectal ,> instructor. special strut t r. L 1 nine e Eur al schools this instruction was given for the school year ending •nt"June last, and is being continued for the pres- ent school year in every case. The value oful` t s training it g is being realized as the people became familiar with the results that are be - hg obtained. This worlc is encour- aged by the payment of a legislative grant, one-half the cost being defray- ed up to a ma:simian grant of $30 in one -roomed rural schools, • In six additional rural schools, this instruction in vocal nt usic was com- menced for the first time in 'Septem- ber last,- The work has as well been, carried on in the Exeter and Goder- ich public schools for some veers and. splendid results are being achiet'ed in each case, The school fairs continue to be an in'teresting fe'aiture to the pupils in the rural schools during the early part of the autumn term. Some ten fairs were held in this inspectorate last. year and 't the calibre of the exhibits shown, the interest displayed, and, the attendance 1 were all' a distinct improvement over previoes years. I would urge upon all boards of rural schools, the value of participation in this ntove'menh from which the pupils derive many benefits. I.n spite of the ecos omit depres- sion existing at the present time, the deposits in the Penny Bank by the I pupils of the Exeter and Gotlerich schools continues to show .all increase, d The pupils ill these sfltools have on r deposit at the present time $4,000, t• which represents an increase of $5001. boards in a natnber of cases, new closets were built in four instances. In addition, two schools, one a two - roomed school at Bennriller, installed chemical closets of a type that'has. given s'atis'faction elsewhere. In many areas in this county elec- tric power lines pgss in close prox- imity to schools, and three schools installed electricity, but .the rather eaicess'ive power charge has caused otltet boards to hesitate ahottt carry- ing out this improvement. A resolu- tion has gone £orwar5 during the past two years from the Teachers' Institute asking that there be a lower fixed charge for electric energy as supplied to rural schools. Such a con- cession might well be made by the !Hydro Commission' in the interests of the children of the rural districts, (School Boards are' continuing to re - over 1929. T have recommended that this va'lua'ble system be intr'o'duced into al•1 schools where the presence of a branch of a chartered taut in the vicinity would make this feasible. It is to be hoped that other schools will. begin the work in the near future, as the habits of thrift are in'stilled by regular saving of even small amounts, have been found to promote , similar habits in adult life. The Teachers' Institute met in Go- derich on October Itlth and 12th with 140 teachers in attendance.. The out- standing value of the Teachers' Ins- titute Is the opportunity afforded' for alt exchange of ideas and viewpoints among the teachers. This was " ar- ranged this year by !laving as many teachers as possible give short pap- ers on topics of interest, and by en- couraging general discussion, A prac- tice has been made of referring- par- ticularly to methods and devices' in a certain subject each year. This year arithmetic was. chosen and outstand- ing teachers were asked,to outline the means by which they secured ' the best results. in the several .grades. 1Tluts the convention becomes the. means of making known the meth- ods that have been successfully work- ed out from actual experience in the class room. To take the place of the former evening meeting which changed con- ditions have made inadvisable, on ac- count. of the small attendance, a luncheon was arranged for this year, which was attended by all the teach- ers. A special speaker was se'cure'd and this proved one of the most at- tractive features of the convention ,program. The new system of legislative grants which becomes effective in 1931 is based on the statistics for the year 1930. The majority of the schools of this county will receive considerably less government assis- tance than'formerly, although urban centres like Goderich. and Wingham which formerly' received very small grants,. will benefit to an appreciable extent. The basis on which these grants are apportioned is dealt with fully in the report of the Inspector of Public Schools for East' Huron.' Early in October last, Mr.. J. Elgin Tom, Former inspector of Schools for 'West Huron, passed away very sud- denly after an illness of only a few 'hours: Mr„Tom fulfilled the posi- tion of inspector with ability and en- ergy for a period 'of 43 years, and the schools' under his direction, maintain- ed a reputation for efficiency and thoroughness that compared favor- ably with any other inspectorate in the province. Even after his retire- ment, his interest in the schools in no wise e ab ated and ' tc hisdeath ' of er Is a matter personal regret ople of all parts of the county. thRespectfully submitted, E.
