Description

Admin History:

The school board had been established in 1871 to make adequate provision for elementary education. When the board later turned its attention toward higher education and the establishment of higher grade schools it brought the board into direct conflict with the corporation, which, through its Technical Instruction Committee, was responsible for the provision of vocational higher education in the arts and sciences. The functions of the school board were transferred to the Corporation in 1903 and the new Education Committee began to develop and expand education at all levels (Oxley, 1973, p.13).
