A. took place on Thursday and Friday last, May llth and 12th, in the assembly room of the Colle-° giate Institute, Clinton. The first session commenced on Thursday at 10 a. in„ the President, Mr. T. G. Shillinglaw, in the chair. The meet- ing opened with prayer by Mr. Hous ton. The Secretary, Mr. Plummer, then read the minutes of the 1898 meeting. Moved by Mr. Black, seconded by Mr. Watters, that the minutes be adopted.—Carried. Com- mittees wore then appointed as fol. lows :—Reporting, Messrs. Cameron and Lowery ; business, Messrs. Scott and Watters.; resol'utions, Messrs. Robb, Lough and McFaul. This was followed by the roll call. The first subject presented was "Entrance Literature" by Mr. H. E. Fair, who had chosen as his selection "Flow Gently Sweet Afton." He favored the intimate acquaintance with the life of the author in order to understand the works. In pro- ceeding with the poem he Would give attention to the following :-1, time, place and mood of poet ; 2, dictionary work ; 8, develop the plan ; 4, .de- velop the beauties of poem ; 5, read- ing of other 'poems by the author ;' 6, analysing and parsing ; 7, review. Mr: Fail' was highly complimented on his method of dealing with the subject, the f„ llowing takit,g part, viz., — Messrs. Murch, Cameron, Lough, Robb, Houston and Lowery. Mr. L. L. Menai then presented his subject, "L. C. M.., G. 0. M., and Prime li'actors." By means of simple numbers he led the pupils to see the meaning of measure, multiple, p. itne number, prime factor, ete., the resp, lotion of numbers into prime factors ; the using of the factors in finding Cr. C. M. and L. 0. Iyi; and finally test- ing the 'pupils' understanding of all terms which were used, Opt; so ong point in Mr. 1feFoul's method was its thoroughness. • The next subject, "Junior Reading with Class," by Mies Annie Taylor, was undoubtedy the of the most instructive of the •conveiltior1. The change from the short to the long 'sound of the vowel by the addition of the final t'e" was most s presented. The change frons l • ki'fully "mad" to "made" was readily grasped by the pupils. Sentence stories were then dealt with. These involved the new words taught. (,treat pains were taken to have pupils thorough When the children are hungry, what do you give them? Food. When thirsty? Water. Now use the same good colnmon sense, and what I would you give thein when they are too thin? The best fat -forming food, of course.

A most noticeable character- istie of the whole lesson was the remarkable activity of the whole class (runt start to finish, All the work Wtts accomplished by them under the skilful direetiou of the teacher, The delegate's report was then read by Mr. Watters. lie gave a very exlianstive and interesting ac• count of the work of the O. E. A. and was highly complimented there. on, The subject "Verb Pareses" Was presented by Mr. Lough. lie first Ireviewed tete simple forms of the verbs and then by skilful question. ng had the pupils give the pbarsul forms, The pupils were also re- quired to investigate the composition of the verb phrases, such vuestions as the following being used :--What auxiliaries are used in forming the progressive verb phrases, the passive verb phrases, the conditional verb phrases, etc. The presentation of this subject was followed by discus sion by Messrs. Houston, March and Mcif aur. Mr. Robb, I. P. S., then occupied a few minutes ,u presenting the following matters, viz : —1. He urged the teachers to give more at- tention to the matter of keeping their respective schoolhouses and yards neat and clean, 2. The teachers warned concerning the con- stitution of the eurrent series of school helps for the authorized text -books. 3. Efforts are being made in the direction of getting trustees and others interested in school affairs by having them meet and converse with the Inspector and he also urged teachers to work in that direction. He also emphasized the importance of .holding coiKtmencement exercises at which entrance and public school leaving certiticates might be award. ed. Ratepayers should be invited and interest in this way would be aroused. Teachers were also urged to use their influence in the way of assisting in the better equipment of schools. Some discussion took place in which school helps came in for some severe denunciation,. Messrs. Mchul and Fair welt part. Friday morning the treasurer's re- port ;was read, showing a balance of $93.73. On motion of Lough, sec- onded by Watters, the report was adopted. Election of officers was then proceeded with :— President, J. H. Lowery ; lst vice, W. Watters ; 2nd vice, Miss A. Taylor; sec. treas., A. H. Plummer; executive commit• tee, Messrs. Pair, Baker, McEwan, Misses Reid and Campbell ; delegate, J. Hartley ; auditors, Messrs. Ander- son and Metcalf. ° The newly elected president, Mr. Lowery, then took the chair and thanked the teachers for the honor they had conferred upon him. Mr. W. H. Baker then presented the subject "Third Class Grammar." Ile emphasized the importance of having pupils at a n early stage write their ideas. He would obtain state- ments of facts connected with com- monplace objects and in this way the distinetion between singular and plural is readily made. His method of teaching subject and predicate was then shown. He criticized the method adopted by many of always requiring an answer in the form of a full sentence. 13y example lead pupsls to see the use of did, done, to, two, too, a, an, etc. The ordinary definitions should be mastered at - this stage. The discussion was car- ried on by Messrs. W atters, McIntosh, Shillinglaw, Wilson, Oanierun, thus. Lon and the president. An excellent paper was read on "Dri.l and Review" by Mr. James MeEwan. lie pointed out that there was a danger of reacting too muen and net drilling enough.

LI'e said the two great causes of lack of brain power was ilrst lack of inherit- ed power, seeoud leek of develop, ment lie bion spoke of the various sizes of brain and said that tbe size and depth of the convolution deter., mined thecttpneity of the individual, the size of the brain was greatest during the period of greatest Intel !eetual activity. He then showed how impressions arising from exter- nal objects were transmitted to the brain. He threw at goad deal of light on quack phrenology showing that there is little or no connection between the sliape of the brain ease and the degree of intellectual develop. ment. He also showed the need of abundance of sleep—natural sleep -- not that irdticed by drugs. He also spoke very emphatically of the dang- er anger of overstrain from excessive activ- ity either mental or physical. On being asked his opinion of home work the Doctor said that in his opinion no home work should be given to junior pupils, A good deal of discussion took place and the un- animous verdict of the Asseeiation was that home work should not be insisted on in junior classes. Mr. 0. Clarkson B. A. of Seaforth 0, I, was presentedand stating that owing to the indisposition lately he would not present the paper on "Teaching of Composition and Liter- ature in Public Schools" but he pro. ceeded to give a talk on the subject. This he continued for some time throwing out among others the following hints: -1, He would divide an ungraded school into two classes, junior and senior, for the teaching of the subject of composition. 2. He would use for material such books as "Aesop's Fables," Bell's Reader," etc., containing shprt anecdotes, 3. He would have several write their essays on the blackboard and some of them discussed by tbe teacher and class. The subject "Improvised Appar- atus for Physical Science" was intro. duced by Mr. E. M. McLean of Clin- ton C. 1. He showed how a cheap apparatus could be procured by -chose teachers who are engaged in the teaching of the subject of physical science. Among- the principles for whist .he. showed Apparatus were weights, measures (millimetres) ex pension, etc. Discussion on the sub- ject by Messrs. Clarkson, Robb, Plummer and Cameron followed. The Resolution Committee then presented their report as follows: -1, That thanks of tbe Association be tendered to the Collegiate Institute Board for the use of building. 2, That copies of the minutes of the Provineial Teachers' Association be provided for each teacher in East Huron. 3, Tbat home work be not given tojunior classes. 4, Mov- ed that in the opinion of this Associa- tion No. 10 Provincial Resolution should be adopted and that the re malnder be referred back to the Provincial Association. On motion of Mr. Lough, seconded by Mr. Cameron the report was adopted. The convention .then adjourned to meet at Seaforth at the call of the President.
