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 in tendering our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Malloch and her son in their be- reavement.

"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.
