OUR TORONTO LETTER.
ducationatl Asioclatlun to the Queen
City a Remarkable Success. Toronto Wel-
comes Its First Session on Foreign Soil,
TORONTO, July 23,—Pedagogic bas resumed
its normal appearance. The convention of the.
National Educational Association of the
United States which closed its labors here last
weep was a brilliant affair, and the most
etere were there so many delegatesin attend-
ance, and never before was the programme so
well sustained and the arrangements so smooth
and so faithfully carried out The work of
billeting the delseseJose, esti,'
zne Iniius r,Q
Exhibition manager ; and though from ate..-..
to.20000 were provided for, in na instance was
he unable to meet instantly pressing wants,
which speaks well for his abilities as a
manager.
Toronto is perhaps chiefly indebted to Mr.
James L. Hughes, city public school inspector,
for the honor of being the hrst Canadian city
to welcome the National Association within
its limits. It certainly will •rank as an
historic event for years to conte, and already
its influence for good is being felt, One direct
outcome has been the organization of a national
council for Canada—the Dominion Teachers'
Association, which in a short time, it is hoped,
will embrace every prominent educator and
evexy public school teacher from the Atlantic.
to the :Pacific. Perhaps this sentiment is too
sweeping. Were it so, however, it would
work a marvellous transformation, and the
farthest backwoods school house would feel
the benefit of the association of ideas. Our
Canadian educators may well draw inspiration
from their American cousins. They infuse
into their work an amount of energy and
enthusiasm that is truly wonderful, and sink
all rivalries and jealousies to attain to the high
end in view. Working on these lines; and
carrying_w_ with thetuafund of _good h :
um ..aiid_
c - eerful-uess; their Presence is an inspiration
and their company always welcome.
August is usually the quiet-
est :month of the year as far
as the dry goods business is
concerned ---the lull between
summer and .fall goods, but
we are going to try to make
it livelier, this year than usual
by cleaning out during the
month of August the balance
of our summer goods at greatly
reduced prices Remember
we do not advertise. anything
we will not carry out. It
would not pay us to do so.'
When we say we have made a
cutyin%es you - may depencfi
upon it THAT A CUT HAS BEEN
MADE, and when we say that
we are going to sell the
?balance of our summer goods
at greatly reduced prices that.
is exactly what we are going
to do. We do not offer you
trash or old bankrupt stocks
but 'reliable goods, seasonable
goods and cheap goods.
If you have -a dollar to
spend, on.dry . goods,. keep it
until you can see how far it
will• go at this clearing sale.
Do not think we are selling
goods at al�ont half the-whole-
sale
he whole-
sale cost, for we are not, but
we are selling at frotn 15 to
40. per cent. less than regular
prices.
Sale will commence on
Saturday, Aug. 1st.
BANDED TOGETHER.
Our Village
The Bruce County Convention of the
Woman's Christaiu Temperance Union
met in the Oddfellow's hall, Lucknow,
which had been ver kindl h
n eir use ,on uesday last. .A
devotional service was held at 9 a.m.,
after which the County President, Mrs
:19 acKay, of Walkerton, called the con-
sponded to by delegates from eight
Unions. Reports given from the differ-
ent Unions breathed a spirit of earnest
enthusiasm in temperance work, and
led to an interesting discussion on the
different phases of work. Much was
said that will be helpful and encourag-
ing, and we trust will lead to more ag-
gressive work being done in the future.
A few moments were spent in silent
prayer. 'The meeting adjourned for
the noon hour. Lunch was provided
in the hall by the ladies of Lucknow,
who had Made every preparation for
entertaining their guests.
Another good, end the convention ,of last
week will tend to promote is that it will serve
to sweep away crude and supetacial ideas with
regard to Canada. Coming here from all
parts of the Union with ill defined notions of
our country, their short sojourn among us has
sbo_ wn the_,n_that_we_are really a {,*rent—peotsle,
worthy of their respect and friendship, and in,
line with the progress_ef the age. , The Queen
•
City was really a surprise to them; and as they.
touring through the country, as thousands
of them are now doing in the lower provinces
and the west, visiting points of interest rich in
history and romance, and' fretted o'er with
interminable beauties by the lavish hand of
nature, the knowledge thus gained cannot but
deepen the surprise and make for the common
good of both countries. Thousands will go
back to college halls and to the humbler school
sehuol-desk with kindlier, franker feelings,
conyinced that we are independent, ,self-
reliant and hospitable, the possessors of
glorious heritage, and as time wears on this
conviction will.doubtless find, its way to their
pupils. .
The reception given the visitors here was a.
warm, one ; in fact, they had the freedom. of
the town. They were feted and greeted on
every hand. The hotels at which the various
State delegations made their headquarters,
were resplendent .with; the intertwined flags of
the two countries,, and there were many inter-
national courtesies. The formal opening of
the conventiotilwas a most brilliant affair, and
long to be remembered. =The, welcoming
speeches: of Principal Grant acrd the Hon. G.
W. Rose were singularly appropriate and
eloquent,. and the response of President
Garrett, of Nashville, Tenn., was Couched in
graceful language and breathed a sentiment
that appealed to the deepeer emotions. But
perhaps of all the flowers of rhetoric that lan-
_t*uishecl m _the the ambient air, none excelled
in poetical grouping the effort. of Professor
Marcellus.Marshall, of Chamita. New Mexico.
It was delivered in that fervid American style
that had its birth in the Fourth of July, and
was warm and fragrant as the breezes of his
own sunny southland. A sentence -or .two,
therefore. may not be out . of place,. In
responding for southwest, he referred to it an
"the land of the cactus and the pine ; the land.
of the orange and the palm ; the land of earth's
most barren wastes and of heer�arichest ever -
producing fields • the landinpartdaof which it
burns by day and freezes by night., and in other
parts of which it neither freezes the nor burd ns
during all the rolling year
f
Montezuma'; children of the sun, which by
the Spaniard was later overrun but in which
American civilization is merely just begun ;
the land that lies adjacent to eart's greatest
ocean' and in' the valley of the world's longest
river, that saddles herself upon the
ori amid,
mightiest mountain chain, she, she,
her sliver sands, has lifted up her golden ears
and heard and came, at your invitation, to
this beautiful, moral, Protestant �� city of
Toronto, chaste Queen of the North;.
One of the principal centr of interest was
the school exhibit at the. Ganite' Rink. It
was a revelation, ..and ,admirably .illustrated
the wide swath modern educators are cutting
in their endeavors to make the future citizens
of the North American 'continent useful,
intelligent, ,and hlled with loftier ideas than
the generations that have. plodded, labored
and passed away.
