PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. 375a act "to establish a college in Prince Edward Island under the name and style of the Prince of Wales College, in which a first class mathematical, classical and philosoph¬ ical education may be obtained as it is not desirable that the natives of this Colony should have to seek in other lands the at¬ tainment of a collegiate education." And so the was incorporated with the style and privilege of a college and placed under a Board of Governors of thir¬ teen persons appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Two chairs or profes¬ sorships were established, and it was de¬ termined that the tuition fee for students from Charlottetown and should be double that paid by the students from the country districts, and that half the amount collected in fees should be given to the pro¬ fessors. Six scholarships of the value of £20 for each of two years, with free tuition to the holders, were established, to be equally apportioned to the three counties. The in¬ stitution was duly opened in October of the same year with Mr. Alex Inglis as prin¬ cipal, as, indeed, he was sole master until December 1st, when Mr. William Monk , late of the Normal School, was appointed as¬ sistant. An act passed on April 29, 1861, pro¬ vided that the Board of Education should contain nine, not seven, members and should hold meetings on the last Thursday of each month. The number of school districts should not exceed two hundred and fifty, and the school houses should have four hun¬ dred feet of floor area, and be nine feet clear between floor and ceiling. School- houses on church grounds might be used for public school purposes if a lease of the build¬ ing were given to the Board of Education. School districts should have forty scholars resident between the age of five and sixteen years, and the average daily attendance should be eighteen; when there existed an area of country not yet constituted a school district, not containing the forty scholars within a radius of a mile and a half, .a minor district might be formed, and its teacher re¬ ceive, if a male, thirty shillings per annum, if a female, twenty shillings, for each pupil in attendance throughout the year. Females might be engaged as teachers in district scln ioIs and receive as salaries £35 if licensed prior to May, i 860, and £38 10s. if licensed subsequently. Vacation except in George¬ town and Charlottetown should be from May 15th to June 1st, with two weeks in October, and the alternate Saturdays. Trus¬ tees might assess all householders having children of school age for the running ex¬ penses of the school, and assess all house¬ holders of the district for the erection of a new building or for permanent repairs to the old one, if the majority of householders so determined. The Board of Education should divide Charlottetown and into five districts and trustees for each should be elected by the resident householders. There should be allowed to Charlottetown but two masters of the highest 1 1 sec< >nd class, to re¬ ceive salaries of £85 each and to be assigned to the districts determined by the Board of Education; and three masters of the first or lowest class, to receive £70 each. Par¬ ents might send their children to any school if the number in attendance did not exceed sixty. Pupils of these schools should pay one and a half shillings per quarter in ad¬ vance to provide fuel, rent, repairs, etc., and if necessary, double this amount. Three fe¬ male schools, one of which should be in
