Teachers' Ass= tion. Eseter. stay 22ad,1893. The Weet Huron Teaeheta' Aatociatlou met in Etteter public aohool today pursuant to the call of the emotive. The President, Thea, Mitch, in the chair. Devotional enmities were conducted by Mr, W. 11, bluntest. The following committees were appointed viz : Buaineas--Mesare. W. J. Hogarth, A. W. Botham, G. II. Tom, Misses Gregory, Gill and Bali. Question Drawer Inspector Tom and Memo, 3. T. Wren and G. W. Holman. Revolution—W 11. Johaaton, W. II, Baker and mos vowel., Moved by Inepector Tons, mended by W.11, Johnston, that 'this Institute Meeting select subjects to bo discussed at the oioxt meeting of the Association. The Seoretery then read a communieatkn from the Secretary of the Oxford Teachers' Institute in regard to matters pertaining to granting third class teachers oertifioates. On motion of G. W. Holman, seconded by G,. i. Tom, it was decided to oouaider said communication on friday afternoon when discussing Sec No, 8 of the program. A circular was read from the Secretary of the Outar]o Teaohere' Association in regard to the minutes of said Association, also in. regard to the election of a delegate. It was decided on motion of Inapeetot Tom, seconded by W. H Johnaton, to hold an evening session, the nature of each meeting to be determined by the Business Committee. Rountine business having been disposed ot, the program vas then taken up by dig - cussing Geography. Tho subject was dealt with underseveral heads as follows, viz :- 1. What apeoial advantages does Ge- ography poasese as a school study ? This part of the subject was discussed by W. H. Johnston, W. H. Baker, Inspector Tom, J. R Balfour and J. W Hogarth. The main points brought out were :—It enabled pupils to understand the history commerce, boundaries, eta„ of countries. It ereatea interest in reading literature and a desire for knowledge about countries in general. It affords exoelleut exercises in drawing and is especially interesting to pupils. It oultivates the reasoning facul- ties, memory and observation. It affords pleasant variety and ooltivates enquiry. 2. Would you teach Geography inductive- ly or deduotively ? With what class would you begin ? This subject was discussed by Messrs. Hogarth, Balfour Baker, Holman, Hobbs and Inspector Tom. Mostly all agreeing that the subject should be taught inductively, leading the pupil from the known such as the local physical features, to the unknown as large mountains, rivers and lakes which the pupils are not familiar with. Local Ge- ography should be taught thoroughly to the junior classes, beginning with Part II class. Roll pall showed 40 teaohers present. The Business Committee reported pro- gress in arrangement for evening session On motion the Association adjourned to meet at 1.30 p.m. Airr'EEN0ON exSS1ON. The Association met at 1.30 i ,m. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. At the suggestion of Inspector Torn, Der. D. C. Dorrance was appointed on the Reso- lution Committee. The Association then proceeded to discuss "The Composition of Rural School Boards." This proved a very interesting topic, and was taken part in by Inspector Tom, W. H Baker, D. C Dorranoe, G. W Holman and others. The teachers present were unanimous in the opinion that the number should be in. creased to six. It would tend to greater permanency and increase the interest in education generally. It would remove the opportunity of exercising arbitrary conduct on the part of certain individuals who might be so disposed to exercise the same. Jt was moved by G. W Holman, seconded by D. C Dorrance and resolved that this Association is of the opinion that it would be to the interest of eduoation in general to have the number of Trustees on Raral School Boards increased to six and that three of such members should have children attending school. The next topic for disouseion was "Rais- ing the Standard ot. Entrance Examinations to promotion from 5th to 6.h class." This worked a lively discussion which wee. participated in by Inspector Tom, G. W . Holman. D. 0 Dorranoe, G. H Tom, W. H Johnston,3. R Balfour, R. B Henderson. A resolution that the Standard for En- trance examination be not raised as propos- II ed, was carried by a large majority, Roll cell showed 47 teachers in attendance. The next subject taken up for disouseion was "Promotion Examinations and Limit Table," Inepector Tom explained the working ot those examinations in the past and snggeat- ed changes in the mode of conducting them that might be adoptee for the future. Thin anbject was farther enlarged upon by bieesre Henderson, Hobbs, Latta, Holrean,Hogerth, Wren. The general opinion prevailing being that there :should be papers for pro- motion from junior to senior Petitions. It was also maintained that it would be advise alio to have corlltpitteee appointed from time to time to assist tate Inspected In pre. paring papers, and that the limit of exam. Mating ahcnld bo extended to promotion. from 5th to 61h gars, ;which would act as an iueentire to the larger aolaolare to en- deavor to peas these higher examinations. Moved by G. W Holman, seconded by 3. A, Dempsey. that papers be prepared 1n future for promotion from 4th to 5th and 5th to lith Pleases, The resolution waa carried. Moved by G W Holman, seconded by I). C Llorrauee and reaolred that a oou,tpittee of five teachers be appointed at the mutual meeting of this Association to act with a similar committee appointed by the North Huron. Teachers' dseoeiation to assist the 3uapectora in preparing promotion oxanoina• tion papers, The next topio disowned was "Monthly Reports." Thia aubjeot evoked little in. tereat as the majority o! teecitera present did not use them end did not seem 'very ntaob iutereated in their importance u a stimulant to energy on the part of the pupil. They are generally considered too troublesome and occupy too much time in preparation to be of value as an aid. The following resolution wee then pre• seated by the Resolution Committee, which on motion of Inspector Tom, seconded by (l, W Holman waa unanimously adopted, vii; : "Resolved that it is with feelings of .sorrow and regret that we tbo membera of your Sister Aaaeoiatioo learn of the uuex. peoted and midden demise of 7 our lata In - !specter, Mr. Malloch, and beg to join 'with you in tendering our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs, :eta loch and'h l or son in their gad be• reavemont. 0 On motion the Association adlournod to meet iA the town hall at 8 o'clock p.m. ZVIrSING smarm The Aeaociation hold its evening seaaien in the town hall. d program had been prepared by the Bnsinees Committee, and the entertainment proved very interesting. The President read a carefully prepared address on "Our Association, What we can do far 1*, and what it can do for us," Tho address contained much valuable informa- tion,.IWd many pointed rdmarks as to the benefits teaohers should derive from their attendanea. A program consisting of instrumental music, sense, readings and reoitationa was carried out. A11 who took part acquitted themselves Tory creditably. At an early hour the proceedings broke rip with the usual votes of thanks and sisaginp God Pave the Queen. rRIDAY nOItiiINO SES8I0ll. The Association mot in the school house at 9 a.m. Mr Geo Baird conducted dove. tional exorcises, The minutes of the two previous sessions were read and adopted. A oommnnication was read from the Carlton County Teachers' Association. On motion this communication was left over for consideration at the next meeting of this Association; as the program provided for this meeting was not nearly exhausted, Moved by G W1Holman, seconded by G. Baird. and resolved that Mr Thos. Murch be appointed delegate to the next Provincial Teachers' Association. On motion of W. H Johnston, seconded by J. W Hogarth, Inspector Tom was ap- pointed also to represent this Association at the next meeting of said Association. On motion it was resolved to pay.the Janitors of the town hall and school house S1 eaoh. The Treasurer then read a financial state- ment showing that the finances of the Association were in very favorable condition, there being about 9100 on hand. The above rountine business having been disposed of, the adjourned discussion on Geography was taken as ander the follow- ing head : 1. "What importance do you attach to map drawing?" This was discussed very thoroughly by Messrs Geo Baird, R. R Ross, G. H Tom, Inspector Tom, J. W Hogarth, J. 13 Balfour, S. J Latta, G. W Holman, J. B Richardson. The main features of the discussion were the unanimity with which all emphasized the importance of map drawing. Sections of countries or counties would be well for local or provincial geography. It was urged by a great many"teaobers and the Inspector, that where it is possible the maps should be hung on the walls, while others thought that in such oases the maps should be good ones, or left off the walls altogether. It was also maintained that hanging the maps continually on the walls would tend to fa- miliarize the pupils with the outlines and locations of countries etc. Under the heading "Mathematical Ge- ography" it was generally conceded to be almost impossible to teach this thoroughly on account of the leek of proper apparatus. 2, "To what extent would you teaeh the railway system of Canada 7" This was pretty fully discussed, mostly agreeing that the main railways of the country should be taught and those of minor importance left out. This next subject taken up was "Third Class Professional Certificates," and was discussed under several heads as follows :- 1. Shall they be limited to the county in which granted 2. Should the Model School term be changed to the first half of the year 2 3. Should a course of professional reading be prescribed by the Educational Depart - men t epart.ment for pupil teaohers, and an examination on the sante passed before entering the Model eehoo12 4. Should the age standard be raised ? These various points were discussed fully by G. W Holman, Inspector Tom, D. C Dorranoe; R. R Boss, G. 13 Tons, Thos.., Gregory, The Association adjourned to meet a 130 p re. APraruNQOY S$93ION. The Association met at 1..45 p no. The wieetea of the morning session were read and adopted. The adjoarned discussion on "Third Class Ps ofeaaronal Certificates" was resew ed.

G. That the standard of the primary ex. aminatiou remain as it le at present, stud that enclid be added, Inspector Tons and Messrs. Efolsun and. Wren then answered the gaeatiane which had been deposited in the Qaeation Drawer. Some very interesting questiona were aakod, and the anewero gives were both instructive and amuoing. Most of the queries were pertaining to the conal rountine school work. The question as to whether it would be advisable to establish a'leaehera' Library in the Inspectorate was then taken up and pretty fully discussed. The diseuarion waa brought to a close by the adoption of the following resolution moved by G, W W- pm, oeaonded by 3..A. Dempsey via That in view of the expellee fa connection with such a project, and that moat of the teachore are convenient t0 good Meohanica' Institutes where good literature can be amity procured, it would be inadvisable to estab- lish a Teaohera' Library at present, Mr W. II Johnston gave notice that at the next meeting of the Association lac would more that the e bonus anariodiaalP aubnoribsd for by mambas of the Asaocia. tion be one half of the club rates.

Clinton, May 27th, 1890. A. M. TODD. Highgate is in a flutter of excitement over the discovery of the bones of some ex- tinct species of a monstrous animal. Some time ago in digging a ditch oe the farm of Mr. William Reyoraft a couple of bones were disinterred. A oommeroial man heard of the occurrence and became the possessor of the ancient ossifications; A few days ago he returned and paid Mr. Reyora;'t $25 for the privilege of digging iu the "swale" where the bones had peen-disoorered. Several men were set to worle on Friday last,and before evening aha, disipterred large bones to the amount .cif two wagon loads. Among these was a lower jaw -bode, which at the points of articulation measured 2 feet 2i inches across.
