Biographical history
Francis Henry Johnson was born in London, Ontario. After teaching elementary school, he came to the University of British Columbia to take his B.A. (1932) and M.A. (1935). Following service in the armed forces, he completed his B.Paed. (1947) at the University of Toronto and later earned a D.Paed. (1952) also at Toronto. Johnson became Coordinator of Teacher Education for the B.C. Department of Education (1954-1956). In 1956, he came to UBC as a Professor of the History of Education and Director of Elementary Education. He played a significant role in the reorganization of the existing Faculty (formerly Department) of Education. Johnson's publications include the first book to study the history of public education in the province and another which chronicled the life of John Jessop, B.C.'s first Superintendent of Education. Johnson retired from the Faculty in 1973.
