Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Superintendent of Education on the Common, Academic, Normal and Model Schools of Nova Scotia: For the Year Ending 31st October, 1882 Tables I-VII contain the chief statistics relating to the operations of the Public Schools. Their contents are summarized in the foregoing abstract. Sections without Schools - The returns under this head show no marked change from last year. They prove, however, that on the whole the decided advance then made has been rather more than maintained. There has been an increase of 5 in the number of Sections without schools in operation during any art of the year, but reductions of 19 and 6 in the number without se 0018 for the Winter and Summer terms respectively. Conclusions deducible from the returns Show an increase of permanence in the character of the schools. Of the Sections having schools in the Summer term, 209 had none in Winter term; of those having schools in the Winter term 134 were without in the Summer term. Last year the corresponding numbers were 233 and 124. As I have pointed out in former Reports anumber of the Sections returned from year to year as having no schools have been reduced by migrations of population and changes in the currents of business to little more than a nominal existence. In a few others the local conditions of support are so limited as to make the maintenance of a school, even with the supplement of County and Provincial aid, confessedly difficult. But these cases are exceptional. In most of the sections thus reported, nothing is needed to provide the means of at least elementary education, save the putting forth of local efforts similar to those by which schools have been established and are still maintained in many other parts of the Province, not superior to these in either density of population or amount of property available for assessment towards the support of schools. It seems to be lost sight of by some that our educational system provides special aid on a generous scale for thinly peopled sections willing to put forth proper exertion in their own behalf. Had this proffered assistance called forth proper local effort at least two-thirds of the Sections reported as without schools during the entire year would have had respectable educational facilities during either the Summer or Winter term, and in many cases during both, while an equal propor tion of the Sections and schools Open one term and closed another, would have enjoyed the benefit of continuous schools. During the past year the Inspectors have found time amid the constant pressure of their regular duties to visit many unorganized Sections and stimulate the people to action b reminding them of their privileges.
