XVI EDUCATION IN CANADA UNDER THE FRENCH REGIME i ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Education in France in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries order rightly to understand education in Canada IN under the French regime it is necessary to ascertain the degree of culture possessed by the ancestors of the French-Canadian people when they arrived in the country. On this question historians, even in our own day, do not agree. In 1881 the Abbe Allain wrote as follows : The question of the origin of primary education in France has been keenly discussed for several years past. It has been the theme of many controversies in the press, in deliberative assemblies, and even in clubs and public meetings. In nearly every case it has been boldly affirmed that primary education in France dates only from our own century, and that our fathers had no acquaintance with anything of the kind. This view, however, is entirely erroneous, and very mis- leading. Thanks to careful studies that have been made, to works of great value that have been written, to informa- tion gathered from the best sources, not only by Catholics, but by non-Catholics such as Duruy and Taine, the historian can now produce evidence to show that, long before the Revolution or even before its principles were thought of, as far back as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, popular 323 324 EDUCATION UNDER THE FRENCH REGIME instruction in France was more widespread, and sometimes more thorough, than in the years that followed it. ' Normandy,' writes the Abbe Allain, ' was at all times distinguished by its zeal for primary education. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it maintained in this respect the place it had won in the Middle Ages, that is to say, the first.' ' In the country parts,' observes de Beaure- paire, speaking of the same province, ' provision had been made for popular instruction by the establishment of a multi- tude of schools kept, in one place, by the cure, in another by the vicar, and elsewhere by clerks in minor orders and masters —schools that were often free, thanks to foundations made out of church funds or by pious individuals.' In 1746 the Abbe Terrisse, vicar-general of Rouen, went so far as to say that, in the country parts of Normandy, ' everybody was educated.' In most of the French provinces there were numerous schools, and this was clearly the case in Picardy, Ile-de- France, Artois, French Flanders, etc. In the diocese of Chalons-sur-Marne alone there were, between 1724 and 1732, 235 schools for 319 parishes. In the dioceses of Reims and Meaux there was, at the time of the Revolution, an average of one school per parish. In Champagne, Lorraine, Franche-Comte, Bretagne, Bourgogne, Savoie, Dauphine, Provence and other provinces education was held in honour, and the Abbe Allain could therefore write with perfect truth that ' in a great number of provinces most of the parishes had their schools ; in the others the cities, towns and larger villages were provided with them.' ' These facts,' he added, ' are in perfect accord with the testimony of contemporaries.' Finally we may quote from Taine's great work, Les Origines de la France Contemporaine : Before the Revolution, the little schools were innumer- able ; in Normandy, Picardy, Artois, French Flanders, etc., there were nearly as many schools as parishes, in all probably from 20,000 to 25,000 for the 37,000 parishes in France ; and these were well attended and efficient, for in 1789 forty-seven per cent of men and twenty-six ELEMENTARY EDUCATION 325 per cent of women knew how to read and write, or at least to sign their names. We shall not go so far as to claim that popular educa- tion was then by any means what it is to-day ; but it was much more general than has commonly been supposed ; and it may at least be said that most of those who desired to learn to read and write had the means of doing so. These means of instruction and education were, in great part at least, the gift of the church and the clergy to the people. What it had done for the education of children in the Middle Ages and in the sixteenth century, the Catholic Church did in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. And the fact should not be overlooked that its attention was not given solely to moral and religious training, but was bestowed as well on education in its restricted sense, the development of the intelligence. Schools aided by the churches, maintained by the religious communities, and taught most frequently by the clergy, regular or secular, were very numerous during the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries. As the Abbe Allain notes, they were rela- tively, but not absolutely, free. They were provided for out of legacies, foundations and donations, due to the generosity of the clergy or of pious and charitable persons. Thanks to these benefactions the poor could avail themselves of the advantages of education. The clergy aimed at encouraging popular education by kindling the ardour of parents and masters, by exciting emulation among the children, by becoming schoolmasters themselves.

    Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country.

  • Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin De Siècle and a New Beginning
    Reginald Edwards McGill University Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin de siècle and a new beginning Abstract The history and development of normal schools is traced through a summary of events that transpired in France, the United States, Britain, and Canada. The author examines the roots of several systems ofteacher training and identifies specifie institutions (normal schools) that played an important role in bringing to McGill University key persons interested in the training of teachers. Much of the article is devoted to linking the diverse influences that culminated in the establishment of the McGill Normal School, the Macdonald CollegeforTeachers, and the Macdonald Chair ofEducation. Whilethearticle outlines the history of McGill's role in teacher education in Quebec and Canada, it also gives a broad perspective on the history of normal schools in Europe and North America, and their influences on teacher education today. Résumé L'histoire et le développement des écoles normales est retracée par un résumé des événements qui se sont produits en France, aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et au Canada. L'auteur analyse les racines de plusieurs systèmes de formation des maîtres et se penche sur certains établissements (écoles normales) qui ont contribué àfaire venir à l'Université McGill des personnes clés s'intéressant à la formation des maîtres. Une bonne part de l'article est consacré aux diverses influences qui ont abouti à la création de la McGill Normal School, du Macdonald Collegefor Teachers et de la Chaire Macdonald des sciences de l'éducation. Si l'auteur dresse l'historique du rôle joué par McGill dans laformation des maîtres au Québec et au Canada, il propose une vue d'ensemble plus étendue de l'historique des écoles normales en Europe et en Amérique du Nord et de leurs incidences sur laformation des maîtres telle qu'elle est dispensée aujourd'hui.

  • Though He Was Born in Montreal on October 30, 1878, and Spent Much of His Life There, Lewis Terrill's Roots Were in the Eastern
    OBITUARIES LEWIS MclvER TERreLL, a Member of the A.O.U. since 1907 and an Elective Member since 1947, died at his home in Ulverton, Richmond County, Quebec, on December 22, 1968, in his 91st year. Though he was born in Montreal on October 30, 1878, and spent much of his life there, Lewis Terrill's roots were in the eastern townshipsof Quebec where he ended his days. He was interestedin nature from boyhood,but at that time there was little to encouragea young man in Canada to make a career in biology, and indeed not much opportunity to obtain instruction in natural history. He was naturally drawn to the one man in Montreal who was outstanding in this field, Sir William Dawson, principal of McGill University. Sir William encouragedhis early interest in geology and lent him various books on natural history. While birds subsequentlybecame Mr. Terrill's primary concern, he developed also a lively interest in botany; indeed he could be described as an all-round naturalist. There was no money in natural history• and Lewis had to make a living. A variety of occupationstook him to many parts of the province, extending his knowledge of its various regions. In 1920 he joined the staff of the Merchant's Bank in Montreal. This was merged with the Bank of Montreal in 1922, and he continued in the service of that bank until 1942, when he was retired on pension. Canada was then at war, and it was no time for a man of ability to retire. He joined the staff of British MetMs Corporation and did not retire finally until 1950.

The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. The main purpose of the project was to restore the continuity of Montreal's downtown, broken by the gaping trench of the Ville-Marie Expressway since the 1960s, and thus to bridge the historic Old Montreal district the existing downtown business district centred around Place Ville-Marie. Other goals included the beautification of the built environment, creation of elegant city squares, showcase of Quebec design and public art, and stimulation of world-class real estate development at the heart of Montreal. The two major north-south underground pedestrian pathways were connected by the missing link put in place beneath the CDP Capital Centre and Place Jean-Paul Riopelle. Nearly 1.3 kilometers of underground corridors, animated by public art, were created and tripled access to the subway. The goal of the presentation is to present an approach to developing Air Rights above an underground (trench) expressway in a downtown area in consideration with urban design aspects, building design constraints, technical, legal and economic aspects. This session will examine the results of this significant original project, the ongoing vision for this major part of the city, and what future development activity is likely to take place.
