Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the report on the status of schools in the Canadian province of Ontario in 1870. It includes statistical information about the attendance, funding, and instruction provided in all facets of Ontario's schools. The report also provides a series of tables summarizing data on funding, textbooks, and apparatus used by each school, and offers recommendations for the improvement of Ontario's education system. The most significant feature of the report from a modern perspective is its view towards compulsory education. The report argues that the decentralized nature of the school system prevented the achievement of consistent educational standards and attendance rates. It advocates for the creation of township-based school boards to improve the administration of the school system. The report also includes a number of recommendations for the improvement of conditions for teachers and the creation of a standard curriculum for all schools, which would also serve to increase the prestige of the teaching profession.
