Provisions of the Act of Union: 1. Legislative Council appointed (20 members) 2. Legislative Assembly elected (42 from each Province, later 65 from each) 3. Executive Council selected from both Houses 4. A permanent Civil List of L75,000 was granted 5. The Legislative Assembly controlled the rest of the revenue. Money bills were to originate with the Government. This was really Responsible Government, as it was developed under Elgin. VI. 1867 to the present: The British North America Act was the statement of a complete victory of the people for Responsible Government. The Executive Council (Cabinet) is wholly responsible to Parliament, in which the members of the Executive must have seats; the raising and the spending of revenue is wholly in the hands of the people's representatives. For a clear summary of the concessions won by Canadians, see Bourinot, _How Canada is Governed_, page 34; see also _Ontario Public School History of Canada_, pp. 267 et seq. DEVICES MAPS 1. Wall maps for general study, especially of modern history. 2. Outline or sketch maps drawn on the black-board by the teacher or the pupils for use in the study of earlier history, or explorations, etc. For these purposes the details of a wall map are not only not needed, but are rather a hindrance. 3. Relief maps of plasticine, clay, or salt and flour, to be made by the pupils to illustrate the influence of geographical facts in history, and to make events in history more real to the pupils. PICTURES 1. Many good historical pictures of persons, buildings, monuments, and events may be collected by the pupils and the teacher from magazines and newspapers, and pasted in a scrap-book. (See Educational Pamphlet, No. 4, _Visual Aids in the Teaching of History_.) 2. The Perry Picture Co., Malden, Mass., publishes pictures in different sizes, costing from one cent upward. Many of these are useful in teaching history. Similar pictures may be obtained from the Cosmos Picture Co., New York. 3. Good picture post-cards can be easily obtained. 4. Lantern slides and stereopticon views may be used. (For lists of dealers and publishers of 3 and 4, see also _Visual Aids in the Teaching of History_.) MUSEUMS These often contain relics of earlier times in the form of implements, utensils, weapons, dress. A visit to one will interest pupils.
