The War Summary
The war situation is looking up
better for the Allies this week. Par-
ticularly is this so in the Balkans. At
first it looked as if. the Germans and
Bulgaria were to have it their own
way . in the drive through Serbia, but
such is not the case. The; Allies are
'right on the job and Serbia is to be
given ever): assistance. Allied troops
have crossed from Greece into 13u1 -
,aria and the Russians are also at-
tacking Bulgaria from. the north, The
Greeks and Roumanians still claim to
be neutral but it isi only a question
of 'time as they will undoubtedly joie
the Allies shortly. Serbia in. =.hc
meantime is making Germany pay
dearly for tite little :gaip, of territory.
The Dardanelles seem 'to be a hard
nut to crack and they zeal entrance to
Constantinople will probably be by
the back door. The Russians ',are
successfulall along their front, Italy
is making progress, as are also 'the
tellies on the west front; On the
wide, wide oceans Britain and, the Al-
lied elects are supreme; the Russian.
fleet et master of the Black Sea;
and British submarines are fast clear-
ing The Baltic of enemy ships, over
thirty having been recently sunk, with-
in 130 miles of the; Kiel Canal.
The darkness of last week -seems to
have been only the darkness that
precedes the dawn.

Teachers' Convention
`The thirth-eighth annual conven-
tion of the West Huron Teachers' As-
sociation was held In the Public
School. Exeter, on Thursday and Fri-
day. October 14th, and 15th', 1915.
The chair was occupied by the
President, Air. George Mawsoat, of
Exeter and devotional exercises ,sere
conducted by Inspector Tom.
The minutes of the last session of
the last annual convention held in
Gcderich May 1st, 1914, were read
and adopted.
Mr. Tom spoke of the numbers of
changes in teachers in the public
schools mentioning that there were
only 27 teachers out of 110 in Rural
schools who are in 'the same school
as they were in when the convention
met last year.
Miss A E. Consitt introduced the
subject of Art in the junior classes
and in an interesting and lucid man-
ner explained her method of reaching
the subject. She always takes the
subject after three, about twice a
week Her pupils provide the ob-
jects and all in the room' draw the
s ante object. In .the autumn she has
her class draw trees and flowers.
Another day they draw this same
object from memory. The pupils
are frequently required to illustrate
stanzas of poetry or suggestions of
literature lessons. Copies are made
froze postcards, etc. Colors are in-
troduced ,with the youngest uupils
because of the intersect. Pastella pen-
dia are used in preference to water
colors. Then with a class of teach-
ers Miss Consitt taught how to draw
an ear of corn, proving that the was
a master hand in the teaching of
drawing.Samples of her pupils'tl s work
were distributed for the inspection of
the teachers.

read by telr. Mawsoni His subject
was Christian Manhood. He spoke of
Canada's enviable position in the
world, in size, fertility and product-
ion. as well as in her intelligent and
brave citizens in whatever capacity
they are found. He showed the
great duty .involved upon the teach-
ers of Canada to carry out the prin-
ciples required of Canadian citizens.
The matter of a patriotic contrib-
ution from the teachers was left to
a special committee to report upon
later.
Inspector Tom spoke upon • School
Regulations and Examinations and
gave a large amount of information
and advice which was very helpful,.
Mx. J. Dearness took up 'the pub
ject of Nature Study, and in a very
thorough manner, after showing the
reasons for his contentions, he, show-
ed that Nature Study is not merely
informing children of the multiplicity
of the facts of nature, but it is on
the contrary developing their powers
by the appropriate reactions on sel-
ected experiences and phenomena.
Learning names, making collections of
natural objects, and even school gar-
dening may be almost useless for lea]
education. Nature Study is a meth-
od more than ;a body of subject} mat-
ter..a training of the child's .hind
through his sense activities. Taken al-
together it was an admirable „address,
Mr. Howard in a very interesting
manner enumerated the various steps
in which he taught science in Fifth
Class. In Zoology and Botany he had
the specimens to be studied in the
school, having the pupils bring the.
specimens where possible. It causes
great interest among the pupils,

Mr Dearness explained the Nature
Nature Study course outlined in the
backs of registers. He would have.
the lessons made observation lessons
instead of lessons of facts.
