We regret to record the death of William James MoBnrnoy, whioh Gook plan on Sunday last, in his 48th year, Some weeks ago. Mr. MoSarney con• tracted typhoid fever, brit hadrecovered and was able to be about as naval, when he was again strioken down, suffering from an abseees of the brain, which caused his demise. The deoeageri was a native of the township of Emit Wa- wanosh, being a son of the late Samuel. MoBurney. He was twice married, his first wife being a Mies McKenzie of Bruoefteld, who passed away about ten years ago, Lees than two years ago he married a Miss Johnston, of East Wa- wanoeh, who, with one child, survives. His aged mother, four brothers -John, Robert, Joseph and Samuel -and one sister, Miss Oher)otte, also survi''e. The late Mr, MoBurney was much respeoted in the oommnnity and leaves a large ramie of friends who will regret to hear of his death. He was connected with Belgrave Presbyterian Church. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to the Wingham cemetery. Rev. Mr. Ferguson conducted the services, and the remains were borne to their haat resting plane by the four brothers of de- ceased. The bereft widow and family have unbounded sympathy in their sore affliction. The death of Hiram Qampbell, which occurred at the residence., of his son, William Campbell, Westfield, on Sun- day, Ootober 17th, removes the most aged and one of the moat respected residents of East Wawanosh, The de - owed, who was the son of John and Hannah Campbell, was born in the township of Storrington, near King- ston, in the year 1821, and resided there with his parents until 1833, re• moving with them in that year to Whitby township. After hewing out for himself a home from the unbroken forest, he, in 1844, ohoae for himself a life -partner in the person of Em. meline Nicholls, who predeceased him in 1900. This union was blessed with eight children, all of whom are living at the present time. Mr. Campbell and family oontinned to reside in Whitby township until 1870, when they removed to Huron county, living for some years in Mallet and afterwards moving to East Wawanosh, where Mr. Campbell continued to reside until his death Deceased was a man of remarkable vigor and retained his facul- ties to the hour of his death. He was around as usual on Saturday, attend• ing to various duties, On Sunday. morning he complained of a pain in his left arm. Nothing serious, how- ever, was expected, but while he was eating his dinner the brittle cord of life suddenly snapped and the sub- ject of this memoir passed from this life to the life beyond. His daughters are: Mrs. Hntohi&On, St. Thomas; Mrs. Hiles, Kincardine ; 'Mrs. Roger- son, Jamestown, N. Y.; Mrs. Hoover, Wheeler, Mich., and Mrs. Carr, Blyth; and his sons: Dr, James, St. Louie, Mioh, ; William and John N , at Weed. field. Mr. Campbell was a Liberal in polities and for nearly seventy years was a consistent member of the Metho- dist ohuroh.

Grundy, 13,A,; Secretary, John Hartley. Mr Holman gave an address on our "New Text Books." In the old Readers there were a great many heavy lessons whioh were useful for Literature lessons In the new Readers, the lessons are selected for Reading only, and in thle respect they are superior. The meohan- iaal construction of the new Readers, with regard to print, spacing: eto., is such as to leave nothing desired, and will be a great boon to pupils with bad sight, and in poorly lighted rooms. The speaker thought the books should be furnished with accounts of the authors and explanatory notes ou the lessons. Of all the new text•b ok . the erSpeller is the best. The Oopy provement on the old, but should cost a cent or two more and be made of better paper and have more guide lines. The Primer is an excellent book for pupils after they have been at sohool five or six months, but there should be a book or tablets for pupils for these months, and these should consist of a mixture of the "look and say" method, and the phonio method. Mies Padfield gave an inspiring talk on the "Advantages of Difflnnities " She said the teacher does more or as much in rendering helpful service to mankind, as any toiler in the Master's vineyard, and the work of the teacher is also beset with one many difficulties, but these difficulties should be a help, not a hindrance. One discouragement the teacher meets, is the lack of appreciation of her work; another the censure of some whom she so faithfully tries to serve, and still another the nnoongeniel environment in whioh she finds herself. The lack of appreciation and censure. she must endure bravely without appar- ent notice of it. She must create her own environment A teacher shon]d. not be afraid of her own company, bnt spend time in reading and reflection. If she has a fertile, resourceful mind, she will supply pEaoh one c nteole good pleasures n. men of his own soul. and oan only lose them by his own fault Inside himself he is master, and nothing oan detraot from happiness, except his own foolishuees, vanities or lack of self.relianoe.

Dowding. The Treasurer's, report showing a balance of $84.83 was then read and adopted. Miss Simpson gave a paper on "The Teacher's Responsibility." The teach- er's responsibility is of the highest kind. The teacher should be teaching not because ciroumetanoes point that way, but because he loves his work, The teacher should be a wide reader. Op- portunities to influence ohildren are given to teachers more than others, ex• oept mothers. The teacher should be oarefnl of school property, and teach the pupils to be neat and careful with it also. The business of the teacher ie not to teaoh only, but to lead his pupils to higher living. He should make his good, andshouldstand friendlye ftfin borhood rt lationship with his Inspeotor and true. tees. Miss Simpson's paper was an ex- cellent one. . Miss McCamns gave a most excellent talk 011 "Art" for which the teachers of East Huron are very grateful.

ISARD History makes a good citiz3n. It arouses patriotism. Mr. Smith's paper was rousing and patriotic, and received a hearty vote of thanks from the con- vention. Mr. Dearness opened his excellent lecture on "Synthetic Composition" with the question "What is the highest single text of an education?" In for. mer times the answer would have been "To read Greek at first eight or read Latin verse." The more modern answer is "To express one's ideas in orderly prooedure." The ancient mot- to in education need to be "To know" the modern is "To do." Oompoeition for many years was very poorly taught but much more attention is given to it iu recent years. He read a composition written by a pupil in the Entrance class of •the P. S. He showed that the pupil had no plan, his ideas were not arranged in orderly prooedure. The best composi- tion is the one written by a pupil who has something which he is delighted to write, and knows he will, have a sym- pathetio hearing, Composition is of two stages: 1 -The mental -mechani- cal; 2 -The Rhetorical. These are used in the different forms. The aim of composition in the first stage is the im- provement of the ohild's usage in ar- rangement and vocabulary, and the approved form of writing short original sentences and paragraphs. The means to bring about the development of the aim is --1, Conversation with the teacher; 2, continuous, oral statement; 3, verbal analysis of sentence; 4, examination of mechanical form of the sentence and paragraph; 5, transcription; 6, writing short compositions of two or three para- graphs to be oorreoted. The aim in the Rhetorical stage is -1, To acquire skill in the orderly arrangements of ideas; 2, to acquire refinement and effectiveness of expression. The menus to develop this stage are -1. Abundant practice in continuous oral statement; 2, study of examples for imitation and criticism; 3, how to criticize; 4, habits of self criti- cism. There are four different styles of Composition -1, Descriptive; 2, narra• tive; 3, expository; 4, argumentative. A few guides for developing a good composition are --1, Let them gather knowledge; 2, supplement that ecquired knowledge; 3, arrangements of head - •♦+++++++++.+0 :00.*:4 .44+: 4i*++4♦+i++i++e+++++++++Fa - Established 1879 FOR WHOOPING COUGH, CROUP.
