NOTES. -Miss Ella Webb, Seaforth,
and Miss Brogden, Londesboro, spent
the Thanksgiving holidays at Mrs,
Riddelds, Mrs. Wat King, of Clinton,
spent a few days at her home here.
Mrs, Alex McKenzie and daughter, of
Kippen, and 1Virs. Hannah, Wingham,
visited at James Young's. Mrs. VVen-
er Youngblut spent Thanksgiving with
her son at Zurich. Butcher Young -
taut went to Buffalo Saturday with a
car load of lambs, • W. T. Riddell and
C. A. Asquith spent a few days in Tor-
onto recently. .
My big Nine -Days' -Sale is over, yet
there are some lines that I am continu-
ing to sell at the Big Sale prices. This
sale, although a loss to me,was a
i
benefit to you. In one sense, t was a
benefit to me: It has enabled- me to
pay the biggest portion of rny debts, at
100 cts on the dollar -no matter who
says the contrary. That has always
been my motto "1000 to the $." Some
of these goods were new, scarcely one
year out of the factory. In this day of
combines, a roan has to pay 'up, or
" bust." No credit. CASH! CASH!
as " credit" is the figure, under whose
black shades have fallen • and perished
some of the most brilliant and talented
tradesmen that have ever measured
yardsticks with fate. • •
I hope you will still continue to buy
!goods from me. Don't act as some
men in their self.made wealth -like
'the poet: look like Longfellow on the
Sabbath day, and by Wednesday get
as small as Tom Thumb. .
Hoping the rush will still continue
to Clinton, and that you will not for-
get your purse, and your humble per -
vent for mutual benefit,

EAST HURON TEACHERS
One of the most Successful and inspiring Conventions
The regular annual meeting of the'
East Huron Teachers' Institute was
held in. Winghain Public School on
Friday and Saturday, Oct, 10-26.
The first paper was on Reading, by
Dr. D. J. Gentili, M. A.,. of Toronto
When a boy comes to school he has
knowledge which be has acquired ftetrn.
his natural and social surroundings.
In his first five years he has learned
more without conscious effort than he
will with conscious effort in any other
five years of his life.. The teacher
should connect his teaching with the
previous knowledge of the child and
theahild's desire for doing. A desire
for reading should • be created in the
child, who will then take an interest in
his work. Before the child has been a
week at school he should be able to
read a sentence and get its meaning.
Each teacher should use the method
with Which he succeeds best. He
showed how it was possible to. teach a
child in a very few days to read sen-
tences of which he could understand
the full meaning and which would in-
terest him. In the teaching.of words,
ear training should precede eye train-
ing. He emphasized the benefits re-
sulting from. reading for imitation and
also from supplementary reading. The
lesson should not be repeated often.
The power to read comes Trona reading
stay away from conventions are the
teachers who need them most. They
are those unfortunate people who have
fallen into that fatal sleep of "know it
all," The president urged the teacher
to justify the new scheme of salaries
by doing their very best and making
themselves so indispensable that schools
cannot do Without them. He web sure
that in a couple of years most teachers
in this inspectorate would be receiving
higher salaries than the minimum
fixed by law. As it is, more than a
dozen schools have teachers engaged
for next year at salaries of from $40 to
$75.higher, than'theatitiarmum.
