Mr. Torn (Ex. I.P.S.) and several of the teachers offered suggestions in the way of publications dealing with the work among these being the Pictorial Edu- cation, a monthly journal published in England. Miss Addeline Geiser of Crediton, gave a paper on Supplementary Reading. elle selection of the •course, as suggested, should tend to the proper development of the child and the supervision of the material should be done by the teacher. Children should be taught to use the diction- ary and the. encyclopedia. Obser_ vation properly developed 'should lead the child out into new fields of discovery. The books should be suited to their age and to theist abil-, ity to comprehend, Works such as that of Abraham Lincoln should be on the book -shelf and with young children the stories . should be told not reast Care must be exercised by the teacher to pre- vent the children from reading friv_ olous stories. With senior pupils this reading may be to -related with hist.e.iry and geography and may he taken either at school or at slime, Pupils should be tested on what has been read. Silent 'readers were sug- gested as beneficial Miss Ruby Creedh. of the Exeter staff took Primary Reading with a clogs of six girls.

This sub- ject should develop in a natural way from the course covered by the se- cond class only calling for more de- tailed study of the sentence forma- tion paragraph structure, punctua- tion etc. Subjects of interest to the pupils should be selected to develop thought. Outlines of stories should be given to assist pupils to fill out the details. A story may be told in sections each pupil continuing from where the other left off. The subject may be co -related with' art, history, geography, literature. The use of homonyms should be contin_ ued through this grade and used in. sentence building.

In studying a poem the mils want to be led to feel as the p. felt and to see what the poet saw. The teacher should know the cirs cdmstances under which each poem was written. Such an understand- ing of the authorship enables the teacher to lead the pupil to see the beauty of the poem. There should b,. no moralizing in Literature. Teachers should know the author, what he thinks of life, the age in which he lived, and how the thoughts therein contained are a production of that age. Without a real love for the subject the teaching will fall far short Of its aim, Miss Sharman eoinmented on the paper had inbred a vote of thank8 to Mr, McEachern. In the 'discus - Sion Which resulted the idea of re- surrecting the Teacher's Library, which once existed in the Inspect- orate, but was never used, came Perth again.
