Box 774, Charlottetown Prince Edward Island, C1A 7L3 Tel.: (902) 368-5895 Fax: (902) 368-6500 Government House Government House, also known as Fanningbank, is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island, the personal representative in the province of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of Canada. In 1834 Government House was built with funds advanced through an issue of Treasury Notes to be repaid with monies raised for the purpose by an Assessment on Land. It cost, in the currency of the day, £3,142.17.3, and was intended to serve as a Vice-Regal residence for the Lieutenant Governors of the then British colony of Prince Edward Island. The architectural design of the house is Georgian, with echoes of the Palladian tradition, and was the work of Isaac Smith. The wooden building was constructed by the architect in association with Henry Smith and Nathan Wright, a firm of local builders. The main structure is 95 feet long by 65 feet wide with two wings at the rear of the residence measuring 28 feet long by 25 feet wide, under which was placed a full Island sandstone foundation, most of which still supports the residence. The sills are 15 inches square and the floor joists are 4 inches by 11 inches and are laid 18 inches from center to center.

  • The Prince Edward Island Free Education Act of 1852*
    IAN ROSS ROBERTSON Reform, Literacy, and the Lease: The Prince Edward Island Free Education Act of 1852* THE FIRST ADMINISTRATION FORMED IN Prince Edward Island under the constitutional system of responsible government passed legislation popularly known as 'the Free Education Act' in 1852.1 George Coles, the leader of that government, stated with pride that the colony was "the first place in the British dominions, in which a complete system of free education was established".2 The new law meant that the colonial treasury would pay teachers' salaries; thus teachers would be guaranteed their salaries regardless of the local tax base, and children would be admitted free of tuition charges. Teachers would not have to consider the resources of the district before accepting a position, and students would not be denied entry to school for lack of money. In the following year the government imported a Scottish school visitor, John Murdoch Stark, from David Stow's pioneering Normal Seminary in Glasgow, to oversee the system. While criticizing the quality of instruction he found in the district schools, the vigorous and candid Stark was full of praise for the policy initiative of the government. "This small colony", he wrote, "has solved for herself the question which has been agitating the public mind of Britain for so many years, and which is still at issue".3 That task, as defined by Stark, was to establish a system for imparting the basic elements of education to the whole community.4 Prince Edward Island Reformers had taken a remarkably progressive step in educational policy in 1852, demonstrating convincingly that they placed excep- * This article grew out of a paper delivered at the Atlantic Canada Studies Conference in Edinburgh in May of 1988.

  • The Bible Question in Prince Edward Island from 1856 to 1860
    IAN ROSS ROBERTSON The Bible Question in Prince Edward Island from 1856 to 1860 "A serious and most unaccountable misunderstanding," was what Edward Whelan, the leading Roman Catholic Liberal, in early 1857 described as the root of the Bible question in Prince Edward Island.1 There was indeed a mis­ understanding, but after it had been cleared up the conflict remained, and with the Bible question began a new era in the history of the colony. For the next two decades religion and education would provide the primary motive power in Island politics. This article concerns the period between 1856 and 1860, when the most important political issue, at least for the Protestant majority, was the place the Holy Scriptures, the Word of God, were to occupy in the educational system. The demand for "the open Bible in the schools" turned out of office the Liberal Party that had brought responsible govern­ ment, and in its place installed an all-Protestant administration in a colony whose population was almost one-half Roman Catholic. The Prince Edward Island which was about to be shaken by the Bible question was a vital, aggressive society, full of energy and self-confidence. A non-resident proprietor wrote in 1853 that "removed as they are from all intercourse with the world, these narrow-minded Provincials really fancy themselves par excellence THE people of British North America."2 The bulk of the Islanders were young and native-born. In the census of 1848 only 7,837 of 62,678 inhabitants were over the age of 45; in 1855, 9,432 of 71,496; and in 1861, 11,195 of 80,857.3 Between 1848 and 1861 the proportion of the non-native-born declined from 30 to 22.1 percent.4 Andrew Hill Clark has esti­ mated "that, in the early 1850's, something just under half of the population called itself Scottish, about one-tenth was clearly Acadian, and of the rest more claimed ancestors from England than from Ireland.

  • Canada's Historic Heritage
    Canada's Historic Heritage National Historic Parks and Sites in Canada Museum Building, Fori Anne National Historic Park, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. FOREWORD Joseph Howe, famous Canadian statesman, has said that "a wise nation fosters national pride and love of country by perpetual reference to the sacrifices and glories of the past". To this end the National Parks Branch has been entrusted with the preservation, restoration and marking of places of national historic importance throughout Canada. Many of these are associated with stirring events in the nation's early history, and include Indian earthworks, villages and portages; French trading posts, forts and mission enterprises; sites connected with British exploration and naval and military operations in the long struggle for the possession of Canada, and others relating to the economic, industrial and political development of the country. The services rendered by distinguished men and women of Canada are also being commemorated. The National Parks Branch is advised in connection with this work by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, an honorary body whose members, resident in various parts of the country, are historians of recognized standing. A number of the larger and more important sites have been set aside as National Historic Parks. Museums housing exhibits relating to the history of the region have been established at most of these parks. In the necessarily brief description contained in this booklet, it has not in every instance been possible to state the exact location of each historic site. An inquiry in the particular neighbourhood, however, will enable the visitor to obtain this information.
