A meeting of the East Huron Teachers' Association was held in the Collegiate Institute, Seaforth, on Thursday and 'Friday, Jnne 2 and 8. The weather being very unfavorable the attendance was not so large as might have been expected. The first session began at 10.80 a. ni. Thursday. After the usual opening exercises, roll. calling, reading of minutes and the appointing of the various Committees, the President Mr. A. H. Plummer, Blyth, called upon Mr. James S. Hogg to discuss the subject, COMPOSITION, He maintains' that this subject should be commenced in the Senior, First class, by .having the children describe the position of objects pladed before them. As a second step, he recommended that efter the literature and reading of a lesson had been Wight, a number of questions from this lesson should be written on the blackboard, to which the pupils are required to write answers.

Another essential element in the teacher is a perfect knowledge of the stork to be taken up in the school. By this means he will create 10 his pupils an admiration for correct actions and manners. Not only is it necessary to know the subject, but it is neces- sary to know the :Hind and disposi- tion of each pupil, so that he may be better able to corect any wrong -doing. A teacher should also know' how to present the work so as to keep the constant attention of his pupils. If pupils are kept constantly employed and their work made interesting there is little fear of disorder. Again, there should be a well defined system of procedure in all parts of the work. Another essential element in a teacher is vigilance and tact. Vigilance, pro. perly exereised,will act as a preventive to wrong -doing, and prevention is better than cure. Tact will enable him to deal with the many different cases which will present thetnselves, The pbysicial comfort of the pupils should also be considered. Praise, properly given, or short spicy stories, illustrated by the result of the propel action, may be a means of procuring good order. . l r.

Ile pictured each of these events in glowing lang- uage, introducing the names of the chief characters who 'took an active part in bringing them about. Mr. Field's address throughout was elo- quent, interesting and instructive. This address was supplemented by instrumental selections by Missess Being and Doble; Vocal solos by Mre. Smith, Mrs, .Bright and Mr. Willis,_ and readings by Mrs. Lowrie and Dr, McKay, each of which were well re- ceived. Mr. Thomas Kidd, chairman of the Collegiate Institute Board, • acted ae ehsirtnan.
