Manitoba Sessional Papers of 1915

Reveal 

Deaf Students, Brand Registers and Stallion Owners

Looking at the list of papers for the 1915 Sessional Papers, we see that a lot of reports were not printed.. like No.67, names of teachers of the Polish and Ruthenian schools. Or No.73, the name, address and age of 29 students that were truant in 1913-1914. But there were printed three interesting reports that give names of Manitoba ancestors. 

One was No. 10, Report of the Department of Public Works which, oddly enough, not only gave statistics on public buildings such as the Insane Asylum (take a look at the discharge  stats) and the schools, but also included a list of students that attended the school of the deaf. Listed are name, residence, date admitted and cause of deafness.

Next we scroll to No.13 for the Department of Agriculture, which gives a list of Cattle Brands and who they are registered to. 

Going a little further we see a Registration of Stallion with their owners' name and residence.  This one you may want to use the Search bar at top right, as the list is sorted by name of Stallion, not owner.

You never know when you are going to find you ancestors in the Sessional Papers.

Ontario Institute for the Deaf and Dumb

1906 Convention of Graduates

In June of 1906 a Convention of Graduates was held at the Ontario Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. Many former pupils attended and a list of names, where they were from and their current occupation, was published in the Ontario Sessional Papers for 1907 by the Department of Education.

The Education minister's report on the Institute for the Deaf starts on page 411 and you can see names of staff and teachers, courses taught, etc. There are portraits of four students who won medals. 

There are also names of students registered for 1906, and those that took examinations in Articulation classes, with their age and their marks. See links below.

Ontario Institute for the Blind

In the same Sessional Papers is a report on the Institute for the Education of the Blind which starts on page 330.
