half of the Red Cross Fund, the fol.
Lowing committee was appointed to
Solicit subscriptione from the teachere;
D.r.. Field, Mr, C. IL Holland, miss
Grace Walker and Mies Mabel Mo.
Donald. A Business Committee com-
posed of Mr. George H. Jefferson and.
and Mies M. L, Brock was aleo Bp,
pointed tolook after the program as
to rearranging of papers, etc,
The Aeeociation then adjourned to
meet at 1,80
Afternoon Session
Mayor MpRibbon, in a brief, but
neatly worded address, gave the teach-
ers a hearty welcome, extending to
them all the privileges and liberties of
the town.
Mies Florence Buchanan, delegate to
the 0.E.A. convention held In Toronto
Easter week, gave a very full and con -
cine report of the proceedings, syxtop•
sizing some of the more important ad-
dresses, and expressing the hope that
more teachers might attend.
Mies Mabel McDonald then' gave a
splendid talk on Physical Culture,
emphasizing the importance of waking
the wo;:k as enjoyable its poesible,
maintaining die. ipllne, introducing
games and giving the commands with
distinetnees and firmness. Taking a
class of boys and another of girls,
Mies McDonald put them through
several exerciees which were done with
precision and grace. ,
Mr. 13. G. elartyn, B.A„ ofStratford

position of the inductive.deduetive,
nethed of:teaobwghy-takitig- wilte. a
junior fourth class a •flretlesson on

the class of words. After the lesson
he answered questions on the subject
asked by Mr. Horton and Mise Brock.
The next item ,was a paper on " Die-
cipline and Methods of Securing it,"
given by Mise Violet Leitch of Gran -
brook. The subject was very thor-
oughly and t fl?,ctently dealt with, and
Miss Leitch received many compli-
ments on the excellence of her paper.
Among the many good suggestions
thrown out was the importance of be-
ing firm, having some system and
netlsod iu rias) movements, making
the work interesting, commendirg
judiciously, and cultivating a pleasant
personality.
The discussion was co Owed by
Hiss Spence, Mr. Shillinglaw and Dr.
Field.
The President then introduced Mr.
le. E, Coombe, M.A., Faculty of Edu-
cation, University of Toronto, who
proceeded in a very able manner to
dtecuse "Literature ae•an Aid to Len-
guage-Teaching in the Primary
tirades." He stated that the wide-
spread poverty of expression and de-
plorable inadequacy to use the Eng-
lish language must be corrected chief•
tj+ ire Primary Cla see by appealing to
the ear of the child at an age so early
that an unconscious habit is formed,
the conscious and unconscious tmitat-
ern of a good model being the ouly re-
demption. Although the prime pur-
pose of Literature teaching is not, to
aid in language, �'
et it presents the
highest form of the language ideal
with the result that the lifeof the
child will endeavor to express itself
along the line of the ideal. He pointed
out that one of the 'richest fields of
Literature is quite within the interest
and comprehension of the pupils of

Ontario may well feel proud of her

Winghatts'a contribution, although
not up - o last year's mar k, is far adead
of several towns with larger poputa-

$1,50G which was $.100 less than was
granted to this fund by Iasiyear's
cotincit, The committee and mover
sere worked very enthusiastically but.
owing to the higher cost of living and
the numerous other appeals for help
this year, they were unable to copse
up to last year's mark,
The thanks of the committee in
charge of the campaign Is due to the
girls who so willingly volunteered to
sell togs and thereby added the sum
of $78 to the Red Caves Fund, also to
the Women's Institute who, although
the weather was very wet and no
attraction to draw out the crowd,
sold lunches and baking in the Oouneit
Chamber from which they made $30
and they also collected the aunt of
$23.35 from ladies of the 9.h and 10th

they also handed aver to the Rid
