Synopsis

This annual report by the Education Department provides an extensive investigation into the state of education in Ontario for the year 1871. The book explores the current policies and legislation regarding public funding for schooling and presents statistics on the increasing number of schools, students, and teachers. It also examines the contents of the revised curriculum and the positive impact of the School Act. The report gives insight into a shift in pedagogical attitudes from rote learning towards a more analytical style and the integration of new subjects such as drawing and music. The author stresses the importance of equipping schools with modern supplies such as maps, globes, and textbooks to facilitate the new pedagogical goals, leading to a discussion about regional differences in school resources. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the development of education in Ontario and the pedagogical concerns of the era.
