Excerpt from The Preparation of Teachers in Ontario and the United States In Ontario extensive provision is made for the preparation of teachers. Every position in the schools, from Kindergarten to University, must be filled by a trained teacher if such is available, and no one can receive a permanent certificate as a teacher Without Scholarship, pedagogical training, and experience. The academic and professional courses are distinctly separated; the professional training being acquired in special schools, after the acquisition of academic knowledge in the High Schools or Universities. Teachers of different qualifications are required for the various grades of schools, and hence there have been established three types of training schools for teachers; the Provincial Model Schools, the Provincial Normal Schools, and the Faculties of Education in the University of Toronto and in Queen's University, Kingston. In the High Schools, special courses are provided for those who are seeking to enter upon the work of teaching. Students who desire to attend a Model School must pass the examination known as Entrance to Model Schools, at the end of a two years' course. Those who wish to attend a' Normal School must Com plete this course and continue for two years longer, when they must pass the Entrance to Normal School examination. A further course Of two years prepares them for the Entrance to Faculty examination. There is still another way in which a student may proceed in his preparation; he may take the matriculation course in the High School and secure a degree in Arts from a University after an attendance of four years. This degree will admit him to the Faculty of Education. He may have specialized during his University career, and then upon graduating from the Faculty of Education, he may secure a Specialist professional certificate. A' holder of such a certificate usually becomes a teacher in a High School or Collegiate Institute. Prospective teachers who attend the Universities take their courses in Arts with students who will enter other professions.

Excerpt from Ontario Teachers' Manuals A teacher who has had this thorough training should be capable Of instructing pupils so as to secure good results. For, during the process of acquiring training, the teacher will have had an opportunity, personally, of applying the principles laid down for the development of a correct writing movement and, in practising the exercises, will have experienced the various difficulties and discourage ments that pupils meet in their work. At the same time there will be developed within the teacher the sympathy and enthusiasm so necessary for teaching writing to chil dren. Having travelled the road himself, he will know the rough places, and will know how best to help the pupils over them. From this it follows that every teacher who is deficient in either knowledge or skill, or in both, should set apart a portion of his spare time for systematic, daily study of the principles contained in this Manual and systematic daily practice of the Lessons contained in the Ontario Writing Courses.

Excerpt from The Development of the Ontario High School Among the topics that will require discussion are the evolution of the present curriculum, the financial support and various steps leading to the present division of the burden, the qualifications and training of teachers as well as the pedagogical methods, equip ment and buildings. Among the questions to be answered are How and when did grammar schools become high schools? When and under what influences did secondary schools become co educational? When was the scheme of written examinations adopted, and what has been the influence of this? When and why were collegiate institutes established? Occasional references will be made to the movements in Europe and the United States, which appear to have influenced opinion in this country.
