There were 110 teachers prevent. Hearty votes of thanks were passed thanking the Exeter school board for the use of the school, the Exeter teachers for providing such an excel. lent luncheon, and the retit ing officers of last year.

The discussion was continued by inspector Torn. Mn. V. Kerr read an interesting paper oe Blackboard Exercises. She would have plenty of exercises on the board to keep the :biidren bury, and in order that no time be lost thea* should be placed upon the blackboard before the opening of school. Exer- cises should not be too long nor too dimcult, so that pupils will not be discouraged.. All,exercises given should be examineby the teacher, or taken in class. Neatness should ebar.c'erize all blackboard work for the se -.e of imitation by the pupils in that respect. Devices for mental arithmetic should And • place upoc the blackboard at all timer. The discus- sion waa continued by Inspector Tom, Mr. Hose and others. Dr. Strang spoke on • .:perannue• tion scheme for the teacners. He deplored the lack of permanency in the tewbing profession.

Teachers should look on the subject not from armloads standpoint but trots the standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest number. He then enum- erated the various objections to the scheme, alio( which he characterized as selfish. He thought the present ecbeme as outlined in the bill was a most lib- eral one and he urged the teachers to accept. The discussion was continued by Memel. Howard, Ross, Johnston and Inspector Tom. 1pspector Tom gave some splendid hints on the teaching of arithmetic and strolling. He advocated teachers giving short and easy- questions in arithmetic dotting on the four rules with easy mental questions. In spell- ing he would teach the rules of spell- ing insured of the ('hiorse plan of learning single "word,. indiv,.lueliy. The time was short but Inspector Tout gave a large amount ot useful inform- ation in the time at his dispose'. Mr. A C. Collins. who war present, gave a short address of • patriotic nature that was listened to with • great deal of pleasure. Dr. Strang followed and ei.imed the reason why Canadian Nays. are not enlisting is not became the Canadians are afraid to do their duty, but it is because they do not fully comprehend that Ibis tsars much ('en..le or as it is Britain's war.
