ICTOU Academy is situated in the town of Q Pictou, one of the most beautiful and read ily accessible towns of Nova Scotia, and an ideal home for an educational institution. The Aca demy school building occupies a commanding situa tion overlooking the town and harbor and in its class rooms, library, laboratories and general equip ment, satisfies every requirement of a modern school. Near at hand are the grounds of the Pictou Amateur Athletic Association, which are open to the students for recreation purposes. On its teaching staff the Academy has fortunately always been able to secure the services of men of exceptional ability, fine scholastic training and professional skill. The Academy was founded in the year 1810 through the efforts of Rev. Thomas McCulloch, D.D., Nova Scotia's great pioneer educationist. The pur pose of its founder was to provide for the youth of the Province the opportunity for a liberal education apart from considerations of creed or sect and throughout its long history it has continued to be an important factor in the educational life of the Pro vince. A glance at its roll of distinguished alumui justifies the reference to it by one of the most emin ent Canadian authors as "the nurse of genius in the Provinces by the sea." Following the celebration in 1916 of the Cen tenary of the founding of the Academy, an import ant movement was inaugurated for its endowment on a scale which would place it in a better position to meet the educational demands of the times. Trus tees of the endowment were incorporated by special Act of the Provincial Legislature in 1919 and the body corporate is now known as the Trustees of the Pictou Academy Educational Foundation. The Trustees with the generous financial sup port and hearty co-operation of thousands of friends and former students of the institution have already made substantial progress in their work of enlarging and improving the educational facilities offered. In a public announcement made early in 1920 their aims were defined as follows:— "(1) To enable the Academy to pay salaries adequate to secure and retain the best teaching tal ent available; (2) to provide for the extension of the courses offered to meet the ever increasing de mands of popular secondary education and (3) to build and equip residences for that large and grow ing number of students who leave their homes to pursue their studies and who find it increasingly difficult to secure boarding accommodation." A measurable advance towards the realization of these aims was made. A magnificent site of up wards of two hundred and eighty acres was acquired on the shores of the beautiful Pictou Harbor and plans developed for the erection there of dormitories, gymnasium and all those other buildings which are necessary for a well equipped modern residential school. A fine dormitory unit, known as Academy Hall, capable of accommodating about sixty boys, was first occupied during the season of 1920-21. This dormitory unit was, in 1926, sold to the Presbyterian Church. The funds received from the sale will be administered by the trustees of the Pic tou Academy Educational Foundation to further the purely educational interests of the Academy in pur suance of the terms of their trust.

34 DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC PICTOU ACADEMY SCHOOL OF MUSIC Musical Director: MISS EVA SKINNER The Pictou Academy School of Music was found ed and opened to the public in the year 1886. Its aim is to give the best possible instruction in Pianoforte, Organ and Violin Playing and in Voice Culture, Theory, Harmony, and Counterpoint. There are five grades, the work of which covers that necessary for the obtaining of the diploma of Licentiate in Music, at McGill University. The Music school is affiliated with the McGill University Conservatorium of Music, who hold their examinations at the Academy in May and June of each year and the work is also adapted to those pro ceeding to the Toronto Conservatory or the N. E. Conservatory of Music.

P'rom time to time, recitals by the students and lectures on musical subjects by the Director are given, at which all pupils are expected to attend.

The system of Pianoforte playing taught is that of Tobias Matthay, a system now used in most of our centres of musical education. It embraces a correct technique, a knowledge of form without which a correct interpretation is impossible, and the neces sary theory in every stage of the pupil's progress.

A course is given (especially for teachers) on the training of music in the public schools.

As everyone is taught somewhat differently, according to temperament and ability, there can be no fixed rule or course of studies for all pupils in any branch of music, but none but the highest will be chosen to serve the needs of each separate student. 35 DEPARTMENT OP MUSIC
