lamented the fact that only about one

UNION DIEETING.
Mr Lough, of Olinton, addressed thb
meeting on the "Care of school proper-
ty," giving some very valuable hints.
He said, "Our first duty is to try to
prevent damage to school property by
using vigilance. The teacher should
frequently examine his desks, stoves . ,
and maps. Train your pupils in habits
of carefulness,' and show them that
their advancement in ifuture life de-
pends upon carefulness. Lead them
to see that the property of the school
belongs to their parents, and of course
afterwards to them. Do not be afraid
of giving advice, because none of as
have learnt anything except by the .
advice of others, spoken dr written.
Make the p,upils who did damage re-
place the same. I would not allow
pupils to mar the duke mother school
property. If window panes are broken
I would insist on their being paid for,
(say 25 cents each pane) instead of
inflicting punishment, The walls
should not be pencilled, and to prevent '
it we must exercise vigilance, as this
is the only way to succese ,Let the
teacher aid a little to• repair injuries.
A nail may repair a desk, if taken in
time. Attend to little things in time,
and try to get your pupils to have a
pride in the appearance of their school.
Should parents refuse to pay for
damage done, I would put the law in
force. For the benefit of my fellow
teachers I submit the, following sug'
gestions: (1) Be tidy. (2) Train your
pupils to be neat and tidy. (3) Do
not allow cobwebs to collect in the
corner of yenr school room. (4) Do
not .allow pieces of bread to lie on the
floor> • (5) Do not allow pieces of
paper or apple cores to be placed on
the floor or in ink bottles, (6) Do not
allow pupils to throw anything in the
wood box, as the proper place is the
stove. (7) Do not allow pupils to
make a slide on the roof of the wood-
shed, or climb fences. (8) Keep the .
thistles down and the woodpile straight.
(9) if a pupil objects to • carrying in It
wood or sweeping the floor, give these
by way of punishment. (10) Do not
allow pupils to throw apples in the
room of the school, as they leave *
marks on . the walls. See that pupils
take good care of their own books.
There is no reason why a pupil should
scribble his books. You might show
pupils how to mark their books, and '
thus be a help them. We should
examine the pupils' books quite fre-
quently. Flowers and trees should be
carefully looked .after. Trustees are
reasonable men, and we cannot blame
them if they object to buying school
supplies, when the teacher is careless.
You must remember that we as teach-
ers are building character, and the fu -
tura generations will be what we intake

L'ougli was very highly Coin,-

the discussion which followed, Inspec•
for Robb suggested that a committee
of pupils from the senior class be ap-
pointed to look after the school room
at noon hour. He also suggested
