in the opinion that the number should
be, iilcr'easocl to six. It W eine tend to

It was moved by G. W. iloluian, sec-
ondecl by D.,C. Dour ns 1}t1 resolved
that this Association is of the opinion
that it would be to the ilt.;rust of edu-
cation in general to have the number
of Trustees on Rural School Boards in-
creased to six and that throe of such
members should have ehil,lraii attend-
ing school.
The next topic for- t hheussion was
"Raising the Standard of Entrance Ex
aminations to promotion from 5th to 6th
class."
This worked a livs.ly discussion
which was participated in by Inspector
Tom, G. W. Holman, D. Q. Dorrance,G.
H. Tom, W. H. Johnston, J. R. Balfour,
R. B. Henderson.
A resolution that the Standard for
Entrance examination be not raised as
purposed,was carried by a large major
ity.
Roll call showed 47 teachers in at-
tendance.
The nett subject token up for dis-
cussion was "Promotion Examinations
and Limit Table,"
Inspector Tom explained the working
of those examinations in the past and
suggested changes in the erode of con-
ducting them that might be adopted
for the future. This sura;ect was fur-
ther enlarged upon by Messrs. Hender-
son, Hobbs, Latta, Holman, Hogarth,
Wren, The general opinion prevailing
being that there should be papers for
promotion from junior to senior sec-
tions. It was' also maintained that it
would be advisable to have committees
appointed from time to time to assist
the Inspector iu preparing papers, and
that the limit of examine tieg should be
extended to promotion from 5th to 6th
class, which would act as an incentive
to the larger scholars to , endeavor to
pass these higher examinations. -
Moved by. G. W.' Holman, seconded
by J. A. Dempsey, that nopers be pre-
pared in future for promotion from 4th
to 5th and 5th to 6th classes: The res-
olution was carried.
Moved by G. W. Holman, seconded
by D. C. Dorrance and resolved that a
committee of five teachers be appointed
at the annual meeting of the Associa-
tion to act with <•i similar committee ap-
pointed by the North Huron Teachers'
Association to assist the Inspectors in
preparing promotion examination pa -
pers.
The next topic discussed was "Month-
ly Reports," This stib jest evoked little
interest as the majority of the teachers
present dsd not use them and did not
seem very Much interested in their im-
portanc as a stimulant to -energy on
the part of the pupil. They are gen-
erally considered'too troublesome and
occupy to much time in preparation to
be of value as an aid.
The following resolution was then
presented by the Resolutioi l Committee
which on motion of Inspector Tom,
seconded by G. W. Holman was unau
imously adopted viz: "Resolved that
it is with feeling of Servers- and regret
that we the members of your Sister As-
sociation learn of the unexpected and
sudden demise of your late Inspector,
Mr. Malloch and beg to loin with you

pared address on "Our Association,

it, what it' ,can
i
do for us." The ada r t s contained
much valuable inforrno ti„m, and many
pointed remarks as to the benefits

tendance.

of instrument-
al music, songs, readin„a and recita-

Sion on C1eography was taken as'. 1.111(161..

The main features of the discussion
were the unanimity with Which allein-
ph.tzed the importnnee of map draw-
ing, Sections of countries or' counties
would be well for local -or provincial
geography. 1t was urged by a great
many teachers and the Inspector.;that
were it is possible the reaps should be
hung on the walls,wrliiie others thought
that in such eases the maps should' be
goocl ones, or left off the Walls altogeth-
er, It was also maintained t11at hang-
ing the neaps continually on the walls
would tend to familiarize the pupils
with'the outlines and: loeations of coun-
tries, etc.
Under the heading ":1fathernatieal
Geography" it was generally conceded
to be almost impossible to 'teach this
thoroughly on account of the lack of
proper apparatus,
2. "To what extent would yon teach
the railway system: of Canada" ' This
'as pretty fully discussed, mostly a-
greeing that the main railways of the
county should be taught and these of,
minor importance left out.

tion al Department for pupil teachers,

sed before entering the Model School?

ed?

dent to a bilious state of the system, such as
Dizziness, Nausea. Drowsiness, Distress after
eating, Pain in the Side, 8:c. While their most
remarkable success has been shown in curing
Headache, yet 0 -Anima's LITTLE L1vEa PILLS

and preventing this annoying complaint, while
they also correct all disorders of the stomach,
stimulate the 'liver and regulate the bowels.
Even if they only cured
Ache they would be almost priceless to those
who 'suffer iron this distressing complaint;
but fortunately their goodness does not end
here, and those who once try them will find
these little pills valuable in so many ways that
they will not be willing to do without them.
But after all sick head
is the bane of so ninny lives that hem is where
we male our great boast. Our pills cure it
while others do not.
CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS inc very small
and very easy to take. One or two pills make
a dose. They are strictly vegetable and do
not gripe or purge, but by their gentle action
please all who use thein. In vials at 23 cents;
five for $1. Sold everywhere, or sent by mail.
