Σελίδα 196 - From several years' observation in rooms of various sizes, used as manufacturing rooms, and occupied by females for twelve hours per day, I found that the workers who occupied those rooms which had large windows with large panes of glass in the four sides of the room, so that the sun's rays penetrated through the room during the whole day, were much more healthy than the workers who occupied rooms lighted from one side only, or rooms lighted through very small panes of glass. I observed another very...
Σελίδα 4 - ... opened but a few years ago, have afforded instruction to 224 pupils, of which 72 left without a diploma, 65 left after having obtained one, 25 continued their studies after having obtained a diploma, and 62 had but recently entered. Mr. Langevin, the Principal of one of these Normal Schools, says : ' It' is a well known fact that we may always rely more upon female than upon male teachers, to impart elementary instruction in our country districts. They alone are competent to direct the infant...
Σελίδα 10 - The petitioner states his full conviction that there would have been no objection on the part of the parents to send their children to school...
Σελίδα 196 - I could not discover anything about the drainage of the premises that could affect the one room more than the other; but I observed that the room occupied by the cheerful workers was wholly whitewashed, and the room occupied by the melancholy workers was colored with yellow ochre. I had the yellow ochre washed off and the walls and ceilings whitewashed.

I observed another very singular fact, viz. that the workers who occupied one room were very cheerful and healthy, while the occupiers of another similar room, who were employed...
Σελίδα 7 - ... apathy of the public." It is suggested to pass a law by which municipalities persisting in retaining teachers who are not provided with any description of diploma, be deprived of their share of the grant ; and finally, that a minimum of salary be fixed, subject to no reduction in any case. A peculiar difficulty to be overcome in these schools, arises from the teaching of both languages, of which one alone, the French, from the multiplicity of rules and exceptions contained in the grammar, requires...
Σελίδα 4 - It' is a well known fact that we may always rely more upon female than upon male teachers, to impart elementary instruction in our country districts. They alone are competent to direct the infant schools ; they alone are permitted by ecclesiastical authority to conduct mixed schools of boys and girls ; and, in fact, the total number of them is 1850, while the male teachers only amount to 902. I am well aware that they are not competent to perform all the duties of the teacher, and that the preference...
Σελίδα 22 - It falls short of what is desirable to be done ; and it is generally thought that the inspectors are negligent in the performance of their duty.

Upon examining the rooms in question I found they were both equally well ventilated and lighted. I could not...
