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 rt. 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. Arrrevaof areae•. 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 villages in regard to holidays at Easter .o that they might evil themsevs of the privileges of attending the Ontario Teachers' Amoci•tion. axone? or Ri9ULCT10t .bmNJTT[e. 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 6.

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.

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.
