CLINTON, May 22, 1805.
A union meeting of the teachers of
East and West Intron WAS opened
in the Collegiate Institute here, to-
day, at 10 A.1I.
There was a large attendance,
over 200 teachers being present.
A. II. Musgrove, of Winglia n,
*oceupied the theta.
J. W. Hogarth opened trio proceed -
lugs with prayer.
Dr, Bigsby, M. A., of Detroit, was
introduced, and proceeded to address
the members of the Association on
methods of teaching language, and,
although his remarks at this stage
were preliminary, they proved very
interesting and iustruetive. The
speaker dwelt on the importance cif
teaching the origin and meaning of
words and names. Several apt

attendance in both Associations.
It was decided to pay the secre-
taries $2 each for reporting the
proceedings of the Assoeiation.
Dr. Rigsby was again called and
continued phonic drill.
II. I. Strang gave some explana-
tions regarding a change in the
program with reference to the paper
in rhetoric to be discussed by J. S.
Cameron.
Mr. Cameron was then introduced,
and showed his manner of dealing
with rhetorical analysis. He took a
paragraph from the • "Plague of
Locusts," High School Reader, as the
lesson. This paper proved very
interesting and instructive, and tbe
illustrations were given. teachers expressed their high appre-

and t5 the town council for • the use
of the town hall for the lecture last
evening..
As agreat many of the teaching
profession believed that from a
hygienic point of view as well as
from the legibility of, and speed and
ease in writing, the vertical system
of penmanship is superior to the
oblique, therefore be it resolved, that
the Minister of Education be re-
quested to authorize, in addition to
the present copy -books, a set of copy-
books based on the vertical system.
The usual votes of thanks to those
who real papers at tbe Association
were passed, and the Assoeiation ad-
journed to meet again at the call of
Sehool Inspector D. Robb, East
Enron, was introduced, and took up
arithmetic and algebra, dealing with
the papers set on these subjects last
midsummer examination. Mr.
Robb's solutions to these problems
were full of interest and instruction.
Sheets containing problems and solu'
tions were distributed among the
teachers.
School Inspector Tom suggested
that some action be taken re the
recent proposed changes regarding
the qualification of teachers.
A committee was appointed to
consider the proposed changes and
report to Convention.
The time for ajournment having
arrived, the Association adjonrned
to meet again at 1.30 P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
• The Association met as per agree-
ment at 1.30 P. st.
John Houston, M.A., headmaster
of the Clinton Collegiate Institute,
proceeded to discuss "English Liter-
ature," taking the selection contained
in the High Sehool Reader entitled
"The Raven." This lesson proved
very instructive, and the manner in
which Mr. Houston dealt with the
subject showed that he had given it
much time and study.
Dr. Rigsby was again introduced
and continued the discussion of
language, dealing with word sounds,
showing, by diagrams, his method of
dealing with the same. Using the
teachers as a class, the speaker made
this very interesting and instructive.
Vertical writing was the next
topic for discussion, which was intro-
duced by J. H. Cameron, of Brussels.
Mr. Cameron gave several reasons
why vertical writing should be
taught.
The following are the chief reasons
advanced in favor of verticial writ-
ing, viz.: ]egibilita, hygienic princi-
ples, rapidity, more easily taught
and more economical.
The diecussion was continued by
Messrs. Tom, Baker and Robb.
The delegates to the Ontario
Provincial Teachers' Association,
Messrs. Black and Weatherhead,
gave very full reports of the proceed-
ings of that association.
The association adjourned to meet
to -morrow at 0 A. M.
LECTURE.
In the evening Dr. Bigsby, of
Detroit, who had taken a prominent
part in the exercises of the day,
delivered an eloquent and instructive
address in the town hall on "The
Schools of England and Dr. Arnold,"
to a large and appreciative audience.
CLINTON, May 23, 1895,
The Associations met in separate

Western Ontario this season. The
high price of cheese during the past
few years has turned the attention of
farmers in many localities where
dairying has not been carried on as
a business, to the dairy branch of
agriculture as a means of making
their farming operations more profit-
able. In all probability many who
have put their money into these new
vices rendered as former treasurer
of the township, and asking that this
shatter he favorahly etitc°rtained by
