§ MR. MUNDYsaid, he would beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, What Clause in the Revised Code prevents a Certificated Elementary Teacher having a Pupil Teacher, and holding a Science Certificate, from receiving payment for the results of his Science Teaching?
MR. H. A. BRUCEsaid, in reply, that the limitation referred to was not imposed by the Revised Code, but by the Committee of Council on Science and Art. It was obvious that the schoolmaster, who might be obliged to attend an elementary school two or three times a day, and was also bound to discharge the duty of superintending pupil-teachers, could not have much time to attend to the study of science and art. Schoolmasters were often ready to undertake these duties, and to overtax their strength; but it was clear that either the school and pupil-teachers, or the School of Science and Art, must be neglected.
