Excerpt from Documentary History of Education in Upper Canada, Vol. 12: From the Passing of the Constitutional Act of 1791 to the Close of the Reverend Doctor Ryerson's Administration of the Education Department in 1876; 1855-1856 1. This Volume records many interesting Educational events, which occurred during the year which it chronicles. 2. The prolonged agitation, in regard to Separate Schools, which began unexpectedly in 1852, under the auspices and leadership of the Right Reverend Bishop de Charbonnel, culminated in the passage, by the Legislature in 1855, of the notable Tache Separate School Act. This Act was prepared by the Honourable Lewis T. Drummond, Attorney General for Lower Canada, and it includes portions of a Draft of a Separate School Bill by Doctor Ryerson, designed to remedy defects in previous Bills. It was introduced into the Legislative Council by the Honourable Colonel Tache, but Mr. Drummond's portion of the Bill was subsequently very much modified, at Doctor Ryerson's suggestion, in its passage through the House of Assembly. 3. The details given in this Volume of the Tache Separate School incident, are the more interesting from the fact, that they reveal, (chiefly from private sources, ) what may be regarded as the "inner history" of the Bill, and what were the various causes and influences which led to the preparation and passage of the Act itself. 4. 1855 was also noted as the year in which was first established a General Library System for the Townships, Cities, Towns and School Sections of Upper Canada. From the success which had attended this movement, the Governor General, Lord Elgin, in referring to it, in one of his graphic Speeches, declared that: "The Township and County Libraries are becoming the Crown and Glory of the Institutions of the Province." It will be seen, from Chapter VIII, that, in a little over two years, (mentioned on page 88), no less than 117,292 books were sent out to various parts of the Province, by the Department; and, on page 98, it is noted that the Stock of Books kept in the Department for distribution numbered over 50,000 volumes, under the nineteen different heads into which the Current Literature of the day was divided. 5. The year 1855-6 was further noted for the efforts which were made by Doctor Ryerson, under the sanction of the Government, for the establishment of a Departmental Library, - of books largely Educational, Historical and Scientific. He also succeeded, with the counsel and suggestion of Lord Elgin, Colonel Lefroy and others, including Members of the Government then in Europe, in selecting, while there, Objects of Art and Illustrations of Science, for an Educational Museum to be kept in the Departmental Building. 6. In addition to these objects of interest which he obtained for the Museum, he was successful, after a great deal of enquiry and observation, in making a most valuable collection of Paintings of the "Old Masters," including specimens of the Italian, Flemish, Dutch, German, French and Spanish Schools of Painting.
