A Century of Educational Progress in New Brunswick, 1800-1900 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Century of Educational Progress in New Brunswick, 1800-1900

There was no school for the blind in New Brunswick, but children from that Province were sent to the Nova Scotia School for the Blind at Halifax. Their expenses were borne at the rate per pupil of $75 from the Provincial Treasury, and $7 5 from the county sending the child.

The century of development which has been traced has had to deal almost entirely with elementary education. Al though begun about the same time, the Grammar Schools underwent comparatively few changes. But for the Parish Schools the first attempts at support by taxation were made, and for them the Board Of Education was evolved. The first Superintendent was also for Parish Schools. Finally, however, a system of education was evolved which included the Grammar Schools and was in close contact with the Uni versity, so that the year 1900 found New Brunswick with elementary schools in every district, which graded into the Superior and Grammar Schools, and these in turn fed the University.
