T. A.— Mr. H. G. Martyn, B.A., of Stratford Normal the Department representa- tive — Teachers pleased with the change in Entrance History—One hundred and thirteefive teachers were present. The forty-seventh Annual Con vention of West Huron Teachers met in Victoria School, October 9th and 10th, when 135 answered the roll call. In absence of the President, Miss Violet Kilpatrick, the chair was taken by Mr. W. Mackay, of Hensall the vice-president. Thursday Forenoon The opening exercises were tak- en by • Mr, Mackay and Inspector Tom. The minutes of last year's final session were read and adopted. The teaching of history for third classes was taken by Mr. W. J. Mc- Intosh, of Brucefield who gave a splendid paper. Ho showed Iris method of taking the subject by us- ing BB naps to trace voyages, to make battlefields etc. This he found created a 'greater interest and left more lasting impressions than the usual ,tray of following, the verbal method, He also suggested that pupils be: encouraged to gather in- formation from other sources such aso oks 'papers, library bo etc , to supplement the text book o vary the methods from dHe would ay to"'day. Miss L. Finlayson, of Lochalsh took the subject of home -work for fourth and fifth classes. She ad- vised against giving too much, and suggested a variety of subject. , She would begin early in the term so as to avoid cramzning at the end. The teacher should•• take the correction of. this in sehdol.. Discussion fol- lowed by Messrs. Mack._ay, , Ross Tom, Milliken and Miss Sharman, all of whom favour its retention in moderate quantities. The subject of School' Regulation was then taken by Inspector Tom who explained the New Course of Study just issued by the Department He strongly advocated Mental Arith- metic and oral Composition but condemned the : pratice of giving BB' notes on History. The method of making reports was also explained. Miss I. E. Sharman then discuss- ed the Entrance of 1924, History, and Literature. pointing out the weakness of the answers given. Mr. G. S. Howard followed along the same line taking Geography and Composition . Lively discussions fol- lowed by Messrs. Ross, Milliken, Howard, Bigelow and Miss Sharman Thursday Afternoon The minutes of the previous ses- sion were read and the roll called. -Miss 0. M. Taylor of Exeter gave an excellent paper on Primary Point- ers, She suggested as is her plan having beginners come as visitors before being enrolled in order to get acquainted with their new en- vironment. She uses short recita- tion and has frequent recreation periods to keep the little ones alive with interest. She would provide varied seat -work such as word -build ing from letters, making pictures selecting figures and letters etc. Mr. Toni continued the same subject and with a class of infants, showed what may be done by the phonic system. He illustrated the subject of Spell- ing by using the drill chart prepar- ed by himself for that purpose. The lesson was full of interest and was greatly appreciated by the teachers. To show how popular among teach- ers, these charts are the read ex- tracts of letters received even from the Western Provinces. .The Geo. M. Hendry Co. is now making use of it. Mr. H. G. Martyn, of Stratford,. Normal School, took a Grammar lesson with a class and in a lucid manner showed how a subject should be _developed. The lesson was full of interest, was well pre- sented and served as a model for teachers to practice. Comments followed .by many to anbers. The report of the 0. E. A. dele- gates followed. Mr. Milliken taking the general impressions received on the whole and Mr. Howard the ad- dress given there by the Minister of Education and the Superannuation question, Thursday Evening `- The Evening program was of high order and was well rendered. Mus- ical numbers were contributed by Miss Bell, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hol- mes and a reading by Miss Mooney. Tlie chair was occupied by Principal Hume of the 0, C. I. who made a few appropriate ' .,introduetory re- marks. The President, Mr. Me -Kay gave an address on "Now and Then" which was well received and created, many a laugh as he reviewed the old method of teaching bymonitors the punishment administered in those days, and the sports indulged in by the pupils, numbering about one hundred tothe room. Mr. Martyn gave an address on the "Teacher after school hours." He spoke of the importance of the teachers' calling and the place he occupies as a nation -builder. He advised teachers to be students and fit themselves physically, mentally and spiritually for their• great work He reminded them of the debt they owe one another, as members of the profession, the section in which they labour and the rank and file of humanity. The address was well received. A series of Contests and games followed in which all took part. The loiniug of hands while singing"Auld Lang Syne" brought the enjoyable evening to a close. Friday Morning After the opening exercises, the reading of the minutes, the roll call the auditors' report was presented. This showed a handsome balance to the credit at the teachers. Mr Martyn, then took his third subject "Importance of play in the Child Life, He went back to the clays of the Athenian games to show what a great part play had in child life at that time and, coming .to the present, he thought it should still occupy the place it once did. It should lead to development, phy- sically, mentally and spiritually. Children under six years could not sit still longer than thirty seconds at a time, hence teachers should take this fact into consideration in the class room, and on the play- ground know that play is the tool of child development. Well planned games lead to regular attendance, punctuality and tend to remove that roughness in' behaviour. He advis- ed teachers to keep young and to take as much interest in the games as in the work of the class room. The election of officers resulted as follows: President„ Miss L. Mc- Culloch, Winchelsea; Vice -Pres., Mr. 3'. E. Tom, I.P.S., Goderich; Sec - Trees, Mr. G. S. Howard, Exeter; Councillors, Miss N. Medd, Exeter; Mr.W. Morley, Crediton; Auditors,` M'r. P, B. Moffatt, Dashwood; Miss L. Smith, Crediton; Librarian, Miss J. S. Murray, Exeter; Resolution Corn., Mr. W. Mackay', Hensall; Mr. W. Finlayson, Blake; Mr. R. Stone- house, Goderich; Mr. F. Ross, Dun- gannon; Miss I. E. Sharman, Gode- rich; Miss J. S. Murray, Exeter; Miss A. Davis, Centralia; Miss L. Finlayson, Lucknow. The Resolution Committee then presented their report which was: 1. That they express their appre- ciation of the shortening of the course in history for Entrahce class- es by the Department. 2. That in their opinion new text books in history be issued by the Department, the present ones being almost worthless for the pupils of the Public School. 3. That part of the Literature for Entrance examinations should be based on selected works as in all other dep9artmeutal examinations in that subject. ---Carried. 5. That there should be the naanes of the teachers superannuated, the amount paid them and the number of years they have taught added to the Minister's yearly report. 6. That they place themselves on record as being of the opinion that it is in the best i reSt of •h n e the Pro- vince to coinn nt and strengthen the s g Ontario Temperance Act (O. T. A.) especially in view .of the promise of the Premier of full and vigorous en- forcement of the Act in the event of a majority voting in favour of it, 7. That they consider the present academic course and the examina- tions thereon detrimental to the best interest of the schools and the De- partment should revert to the prev- ious system of examining students in High Schools. 8. That they consider that Arith- metic and Grammar should be plac- ed on Middle School examinations. Inspector Tom spoke to the teach- ers about caring for the school pro- perty, both inside and outside, then answered. the queries of the Ques- tion Drawer. Miss M. MacKenzie of Marnock, gave a paper on Oral Composition in Junior Classes. She recommend- ed the reading of short stories in class, and the reproduction of the same in written exercises. She would have pupils read each other's stories. With advanced classes she recommended reproducing whole stories of books, autobiographies eta The paper showed careful thought, Miss, A. Geiser, of Holnesville gave a paper on the teaching of Ag- riculture and in it showed her meth- od. She would, as far as possible have the specimens to be studied be- • fore the class or, would take the children to the specimens. She uses school gardens and• exhibits at Fairs. A motion was carried to raise the allowance to the 0. E. A. delegates from $10 to $15 the same to be paid on condition that a report be given by them at our convention—Mr. W. MacKay and Miss E. Wiggins were elected delegates for next year. A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered Mr, H. G. Martyn, B.A., for his excellent addresses at the con- vention. A vote of thanks was also tender- ed the Trustee Board of Goderich for the use of the school, the refir- ing officers for their service during the year, the committee, "who pro- vided the evening program, the cit- izens of town who entertained the teachers, and to each and all who contributed items on the program for the day sessions and for the ev- ening entertainment. The singing of the National An- them brought the convention to a close. The number of teachers present was 135. Wzn. MacKay, President G. S. Howard, See'y-Treas. ST.

But good citizenship is a patient executioner in Ontario. Again and again Ontario citizens have registered their determination that the moral and econo- mic waste caused by booze must cease. ¶ On October 23rd the men and women of this Province trust tell the self-seeking liquor interests still more emphatically that booze shall not coiae back. A half -million majority for continuance of The Ontario Temperance Act is language that brewer, distiller and bootlegger will understand. 00TO is ate for Its Good Work Desperate because the O.T.A. has cut down drinking by 90%, the liquor trade seeks_ the death of the finest temperance measure Ontario has ever had. Distiller, brewer and boot- legger are arrayed against the' forces of reform. The issue itself is sharply drawn, but John Barleycorn is using a new disguise.. Only his desperation can explain his reckless effront- ery and his astonishingly low estimate of the .common sense of the peoplez No good citizen, familiar with the miserable conditions before The Ontario Temperance Act brought sobriety to the homes, and happinessto the women and children, would delib- erately vote for a return to .the bar-rooin. Yet today Ontario. faces, as the only alternative to the tO.T.A., a step that will lead to conditions in some respects even worse than the open bar produced. Rally to Its Defence! The same sordid story conies from every province where so-called government "control" has ' been blindly. adopted. More drinking, more drunkenness,•more crime, more accidents, more misery, more waste—and, above all, infinitely more of the curse of bootlegging. This prospect should send every earnest man and woman in Ontario to the polls on October . 23rd to vote for the continuance, strengthening and vigorous enforcement of The Ontario Temperance Act. To legalize' the sale of booze for beverage purposes, though in sealed packages, is to re-establish the liquor shop The 2 Toronto Street, Toronto without the former restrictions of the licensed bar -room, and bring back the treating system, the hip -pocket flask,and the drinking club. To vote for government sale is to bring back to old Ontario the free dispensing of that bottled misery which will blight and destroy the hopes, the character, the life of young and old in. every community where liquor shops are permitted to exist. Your allot Ytar Weapon You know that, but you must VOTE. Your weapon, the ballot, must be used. Vote yourself, and use your influence to have every qualified elector within your home and your place of work do likewise. The only votes counted will be those placed in the ballot box on October 23rd, 1924. Apathy and over -confidence have lost many a good fight. The liquor trinity—bootlegger, brewer and distiller --are at work, night and clay. Foil: their efforts by polling an over- whelming majority for The Ontario Temperance Act. Mark your ballot thus: Are you in favour of the con - 1 tinuance of The Ontario Tem. ' perance Act? Are you in favour of the sale A2as .a.beverage of beer and r spirituous liquor in seals pack- ages under Government control? 1 Ge .B. Nicholson, Chairman e 41.
