The afternoon aesaion was Iff1Entat
by the xerident of East Huron. In
his addrote he referred to the wonder-

his remarks were few they were very
much to the point.
Mr. A. R. Dodds gave an interesting
report of the meeting of the Ontario
Educattm association held at Toron-

which were then sung unaccompanied
by fourb.on of the Clinton public

Miss Fraser were much appreciated.
They certainly did credit to themselves
and to their inetructor.
Prof. 'I. M. Cornish continued from
his meriting address by citing meth-
ods of teaching a lesson. First, "die -

Second, "hook method"—requirea some
