Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay Attitudes of Parents Toward the Development of Public Schooling in Victoria, B. C., During the Colonial Period. Author: (signature) Elsie Ina Watts ( name August 11, 1986 (date) iii ABSTRACT A revolution in education occurred in western society in the nineteenth century. State-controlled free non-sectarian school systems took over the schooling of most children. Much has been written about the roles of governments, educational bureaucracies and educators in this phenomenon but little has been said about that of parents. Because parents in western society have traditionally had the ultimate responsibility for the development of their children, their attitudes toward the rise of state schooling is a necessary question in educational history; This thesis explores the attitudes of parents to the growth of public schooling on colonial Vancouver Island. It shows that parents considered the school which their children would attend to be their choice. If they could, they put their children in private schools. If a private school which supported their values and ambitions was not available or economically feasible, they put their children in non-sectarian public schools. Since the low population in the rural areas surrounding Victoria made a proliferation of specialized private schools impractical, public schools were more strongly supported by rural parents than by city parents. The first chapter introduces the question of parental attitudes toward schooling and its importance in educational history. The second, third and fourth chapters show what kinds of schools parents supported. Rather than separating the schools for analysis into categories such as upper and lower-class, sectarian and non-sectarian, rural and urban, or public and private, I have chosen to show the schools in chronological development so they can be seen in the context of the overall development of the Victoria area. The status of each school has, however, been identified as closely as possible. Chapter five summarizes the conclusions drawn from the evidence and analyzes why parents may have preferred one type of schooling over another. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT To Jack. Julie and Michelle Watts. and Rena Vlag, for their faith and support; to Simon Fraser University for allowing me to fulfil a dream; to the public and private archivists for being so patient and helpful; to Mary Vorvis for her enthusiasm and "second-to-none" typing skills.

City of Victoria, Vancouver Island, School Locations . 174 CHAF'TER I INTRODUCTION The expansion of schooling that took place in the Western woz beginning in the eighteenth century was a fundamental social change. At the beginning of the century, schooling was conducted as it had been for centuries in such institutions as parents or religious bodies could afford. Many children never received formal schooling, acquiring the knowledge they needed to support themselves from older members of their communities as well as from their peers. By contrast, at the turn of the twentieth century, most Western nations had either established or were developing school systems in which their children were required to spend their formative years. There is a lively debate in educational history today about the reasons for the maturation of the trend toward public schooling in the nineteenth century. Early to mid-twentieth century writers of educational histories are now labelled 'Whig historiansn because they viewed the organization of common schooling under government control as part of the necessary adjustment of Western societies to revolutions in industry, religion and government. ' They believed public schooling ensured that the energies of the young were channelled to the benefit of society. The young benefitted because they received equal opportunity to better themselves.2 later educational historians are called moderate revisionists partly because they believe that public schooling is a necessary and beneficial feature of modem society but agree that it requires reforms before it will serve all its clients equally.3 The radical revisionists of the 1970s doubted the necessity of bureaucratized ed~cation.~They claimed that the upper classes imposed universal standardized public schooling on the lower classes to give them the skills they needed for the changing character of lower-class positions while making them believe they had equal 5 opportunity. Radical revisionism with its emphasis on the use of a neo-Marxist model of interpretation has fallen into mild disrepute in educational history but the questions that it raised are being taken seriously by all historians.

  • Royal Astronomical Society of Canada: Victoria Centre
    ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE Comet NEOWISE, July 16th, 2020, by Daniel Posey A Comet Tale Physically isolated from their fellow RASCals, many members of the local amateur astronomy community were experiencing a state of isolation from their own telescopes, until the Comet NEOWISE called them to action. It hasn’t just been the amateur astronomy community paying attention to our celebrity comet either. With the prospects of a bright comet in the northern night sky, members of the public have been regularly gathering in large numbers, in places like Mount Tolmie, Mount Doug, and along the waterfront of Greater Victoria. SKYNEWS August 2020 ISSUE #420 Page 1 ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA: VICTORIA CENTRE The Comet NEOWISE takes its name from the Near Earth Object survey mission it was discovered on, by astronomers using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope, long before it became the bright comet in the night sky. For those of us without space telescopes at our disposal, early on the comet was best viewed in the early hours of the morning, something prohibitive to many of us who are still working regular hours or who are allergic to getting up in the pre-dawn hours. However, by the second half of July, the comet was clearly visible in the early evening, wandering its way towards and then underneath the constellation Ursa Major. After being teased for weeks with stories of the comet of the century, we all finally had a good view of the spectacle. The arrival of the comet this year not only resulted in a renaissance of astrophotography and observing (as seen by Sherry Buttnor’s image top right and Bill Weir’s sketch bottom right), among our Centre’s membership, but has inspired many members of the public to take up astronomy as a hobby.
