The election ot officers was then proceeded
with, the following being appointed tam -

men, Flimville; executive committee, G.

The auditors' report was then presented
and adopted.
On motion of G. W. Holman, seconded
by G. Sbepp•rd 6. J. Latta, president
elect. was appointed delegate to the next
Ontario Teacher' Association.
R. Park. principal of (;o45derich model
school, then showed his method of Leaching
literature, for which purpose $ class from
fie model school was present. " Fine
Mumble Bee," frau Hook IV., was taken as
the lesson. This proved very interesting,
and ivatructive, and brought out much
profitable dlwussion, taken pert In by the
president, Messrs. Baird, Holman, Kitty
and Brown.
Messrs. Park, Johnston and Murch were
appointed a committee to collect material
for • program for the next aesocietion.
1:. W. Holman introduced a diecuwwn 011
"Our Municipal Institutions as taken with
third and fourth Classes." Chu evoked
considerable diactwion, in which Massa
Johnston, Strang, Baird, Latta, Brown and
=here took

In the absence of W. H. Baker, the secre-
tary introduced " How far should the Sub-
ject of Politics be taken in the Teaching of
Canadian History This proved $ very
interesting subject, and evoked much dis-
cussion. H. I. Strang spoke .t some length,
and his address bristled with Capetian see-
timeut and the duty of teachers in incul-
cating • true and loyal respect for Cana-
dian institution& Inspector Tom also
spoke strongly on this point. The discus -
saw was continued by Molars- DeWitt%
(:rant, S..6. Latta, A. J. M...e and other..
On motion of Mr. :-:,au{, seoonded by
Mr. Tom, the emaciation adjourned.

The meociation assembled at 1 40 e.m.
The mtuutee of the formulae session were
read and adopted.
It was moved by K. E. Brown, seconded
by T. A. Brown, and resolved that this be
the only Institute meeting held tins year.
T. A. Brown then took up " Singing in
Public Schools" and cited various reason
why it should be taught. By judicious nee
it oould be trade a power in morel training.
it was restful and an aid in keeping order,
it hada wholesome refining influence. Mr.
Brown showed by the manner in which 6e
introduced the subject to his pupas that he
had given the matter much thought and
understood voice culture, by taking the
sudieece as a clams. Much interest was
created.
R. R Rom next gave a short report of
work dune at the last meeting of Ontario
Teachers' Association. Mr. Ross eonsiderd
it a grievance that teachers from rural
schools were not placed on same basis as

that they might evil themsevs of the
privileges of attending the Ontario Teachers'
Amoci•tion.

received and showed that much careful
thought had been given to the subject.
Miss H. Charles, B. A., was then intro
dueed and reed an able paper on literat ure,
and the method of teaching it, taking "In-
flames and Beauty " by John Keats. as a
basis. Miss Charles in the t urse of an ad-
mirable address urged the importance of
getting the pupils to memorize poem' pre-
scribed for literature, and to do aa much as
Passible towards bringing out the pupil's
ideas, ..d these should net be despised.
On motion of itsspector Tom, seconded by
G. Sheppard, Mum Charles was requested
ed to bawl her paper on literature to the
ss. clary for publicatioe. The motion was
carried nnanlmossly.
A short address not on the printed pro-
gram was given by Thos Bengough, of Ter-
mite, who exhibited what he called en
" automatic speller." in the shape of a Item-
ngton typewrites. The idea of teaching
spelling automatically seemed to catch the
fancy of the audience, and as Mr. Bengough
proceeded to argue seriously that as spit.
ting is inertly a mattes of form, and as the
form of words is better :detected in print
than in script, a typewriter would prove •
rateable adjunct to school apparatus. The
teaching to young people of the merles used
by printers would, in Mr. Itengough's opin-
ion, result in a great saving of printorial
profanity. This treat moral object might
easily be attained by means of the type-
writer in schools. Practical Grammer, wee
position, and all the English branches could
be better taught with the aid of the mach -
than by any other method.
The .ext subject on the program " The
New Drawing Books sod how to teach the
subject," was introdaod by S. 3. Latta.
Mr. (sesta contended that though the new
books are very good, yet the matter in them
wee cot..sed as well as it nurht he,
many of the o ject. in No. 4 book those in Nue e

the same column by Mr. F. P. Boutedler,
already somewhat known to readers of the
Reformer.
Two of Mr. (;sham's premises are w
frequently made to do duty by upholders of
the status quo that we reproduce Mr.
Bouteilkr's reply. Thew two premiss 'al-
luded to are " that the Canadian farmer is
much better nti than the Amencan, sod
that Political Union would only result in
bringing hint down to the level of his
American cousin, and in that state taxation
would follow.-
' In no .ase has an attempt been made to
prove a position esu untenable. Like the
Iinti.h Empire, the 0 S. translate of • vast
aggreg.uoe of contmunits in all steges of
development, from the most prima's° to
the most advanced in culture, arts and
civiliratiou. It is tnan,fwtely unfair to
male • comparison and expect the sane ad-
vsseem ant in wealth and comfort in the
Wstern pioneer just emerging Irotu the
territorial status as ought to be the case in
the farmer of Esvtetn Ontario.
To ire just os.mparis,n should be between
the farmer of Quebec and that pf New York,
Ontario with Pennsylvania, Manitoba with
Dakota, British Columbia with °1
hagos-
Because a traveller has obsereedd much
hardship in Kunnas, Colorado, or New
Mex Ro, gives no more ground for mistiming
that Che Ontario farmer would be; educed
to the same petition than it would for insist-
ing that we should sever British connection
to keep him from descending to the wretch-
edness of the Irish peasant, the nakedness
of the Hottentot or the destitution of the
Coolie in India.
it is not proved but only &esnnted that
political union would diminish the fertility
of our soil, the salubrity of our climate, the
skill of our artisans, the wisdom of our
legislators, the efficiency of our education
or the integrity of our judges, and unionists
can well answer that to these factors
is due prosperity Mr. I.:reham claim"
we enjoy, and not to British Con-
nection, for it that was the case the same
state of affairs would lee found in all parts
of the Empire. In what way a union will
either advance or retard the imposition of •
;;tate or Provincial tax as your correspon-
dent threatens, 1 am at a loss to imagine.
Our Provincial subsidy is but • small
fraction of our general expense, and the
great balance is provided from the sources
that would not be affected one way or th e
other. and in any event we would save the
forty millions extracted from the Canadian
people to run the Federal machine that
would be dispensed with.
Another point omitted by the writer is
contrasting the great prosFerity of Canada
with the poverty of the U . ti. is that great
force and attraction which tends to equalize
auditions on both sides. At the rate at
which good Canadians like Mr. Graham,
hare been docking to the wiclel U. S. for
15 years, there will shortly be so many
there that it must soon ►.,come„nearly as
good a country to live in as wealthy Canada,
and that will also greatly mitigate the evils
to result from P. 0., notwithstanding, Mr.
6;. holds out no hope that a single one of
the over -burdened million that have gone
before will discover it in time to return to
the happy Canada they have left behind,
hut predicts that more will follow to prove
the old advantage, that misery lits COM -

Committee, beg to repot as follows
1. That we =firm the resolutions sent to

that algebra and enclid be added to the P.
S. leaving examination.
2. We recommend that the H. S. history
be placed on the list for public schools in-
stead of the public school history now auth-
orized. We ask this change for the follow-
ing reasons: 1 We believe the high school
history is much better suited to the eapact
