A meeting of the East Huron Teach- srs' Association was held in the Colleg- iate Institute, Seaforth, on Thursday, and Friday of last week. The weath- er being yery unfavorable the attend- ance was not so large as might have been expected. The first session be gan at 10,30 am, Thursday. After the usual opening exercises, toll•call- ing, reading' of minutes and the ap- pointing of the various Committees,the President, Mr. A, H. Plummer, Birth, called upon Mr. James S. Hogg, to -dis- cuss the subject, Mr, J. CL MeLpod next read a aperp now TO-ogrAIN °anent, He Said that thisqueetion, is one 003 very closely eilects each 00 of us itt the 'teaehing prefetiSion, and often de- cidestbe questiou Of saecees or failuM A teacher Who ebtaio$ order must have: firtnnees and deciSiou. This enables hiM,..aftsir giving orders to see . that they are ea rtied out. Iie.wallied tea - chess against giving .tee Many . emu. mends. The seCond quality necessary is kindness and sympathy; as kindness begets kiiidnessaad by this ineane obtain the sympathy and eonfidenee of the pupils. Another essential element in the teacher is it perfect knowledge of the work to be :taken tip -in the school. By this means lie will' create in his pupils .an admiration for correct actions and, manners,. .Not only, is it necessary to know .the sublet,' but it is necessary to know the mind and ,;dis position of each pupili'so that he may be better able to correct any wrong- do A teacher should also know ''how to present the work so as to keep the, Constant attention of his mini's. If pupils are kept constantly employed and theireverk made interesting there is little fear of disorder. Again, there should be a. well defined systein of pro- cedure in all parts of the work. Ano ther essential element in a teacher is vigilenco atid tact. Vigilence, proper- ly exercised, will act as a preventative to wrong -doing, and prevention is bet- ter than cure. Tact will enable him to deal with the many different cases which will present themselves. The physicial comfort of the pupils should also be conetdeaed. Praise, properly given, and short spicy stones, illustra- trated by the result of the proper act ion. may be a means ef procuring good order- Mr. McLeod considered that such offences as lying, swearing, &c., should be subjected to Corporal punish- ment. This subject was also further discussed by several teacuers present. This closed the proceedings for the. day TELE EVENING. In the evening a public entertain- ment was held in Cardno.'s • Holl,'s and was patronized by a large audiende of teachers and citizens. The program- me, prepared by a committee of the teachers 01 Seaforth, was well carried out. The principal feature of, the ent- ertainment was an address on the land marks of Canadian history, by G, W. Field, B.A., of Guelph. elaiined that three land marks were .as follows: lst, The discovery and exploration Of Canada by Jacques Cartier s 2nd, Sur- render of Canada to the English in 1759; Bed, .the Constitutionel'`:Act Of 1791; 4th, The Act of Union in s1841,; 5th, The British : North, American Act 1367. He pictured each of these events in glowing language,,introduoing: the names of the chief characters who took an active part in bringing them abOnt. Mr. Field's address throughout was elo- gent, interesting and iiistructis* This address was supplemented hy:,;:instru7 mental selections by Misses Ewing and Dobles Vocal solos b,i7 .Mrs. Bright and Mr. 'Willis, and readings by Mrs. Lcireie odDrs MotaYe.,..eao of which, was well reeeived. Kidd, chairman of the Collegiate Insti- tute Board, acted as chairman. THE SECOND DAY. Upon resuming business at 9 O'clock a.m., Friday, the minutes of ths prey - bus day's proceedings were ' read by Mr. A, Scott and adopted, after, which came the election of Officers, resulting as follows: President, Mr. Black; lst Vice -President, J. G. 'McLeod; 2nd Vice President, Miss Wilson; Secretary, A. Scott. An Exeeutive Committee. ,con- sisting of Misses Helyar and Killoran, and Messrs. W. Doig, W. R. Lough and J. S. Hogg were appointed. .Auditors, Messrs. Clarkson and Mera,u1; Provin- cial Delegate, Mr. J. King; Dominion Delegate, Mr. A. H. Plummer. The election of officers concluded the Presi dent called on Mr. W. PrendergaSt,B.A. to intrrduce his subject of FIRST LESSONS ON APaEHRA. He first teaches the use of the alge- braic signs; then by a. number of well chosen examples he illustrated his me thod of overcoming the yariouS diffl culties which present themselvesin the four elementery rules, disapproving of simply asking pupils to change the signs in the subtrahuni, and that like signs when multiplied give plus., but unlike give minus. This paper was ably discussed by Messrs. Clarkson and Robb. * • COMPOSITION. He maintains that this subject should be commenced in the Senior First class by having the children describe the position of objects placed before them. As a second step, he recommended that after the literature and reading of a lesson had been taught, a number of questions from this' lesson .shoulds ibe written on the blackboard, -to Which the pupils are required to write answers. The third and most important means advocated by him was that short, in• terestmg stories be reed as related to the pupils, and that these be reproduc- by them. This paper drew forth a very interesting discussion by Messrs. Lough, Robb, Clarkson, McFaul, Doig and Scott. The. meeting then adjourned for noon. The afternoon session began at 1.30. The first subject was GEOGRAPAY; by Mr. Black. He considered that this was a very important subject for the following reasons: ist,—For the infor- mation Obtained; 2nd,—Its fitting pup tis to obtain knowledge after life; Srd, —As a means of mental culture, ln order to be a successful teacher of this important subject, we should know: lst —What to teach; 2nd,—How to teach - it. He thought a general knowledge of the manners, customs, occupations, etc., of the inhabitants of the different countries shculd be taught in prefer- ence to an extensive list of cities, towns, etc. He did not, however, give any particular method of teaching this subject, as he considered that methods used successfully by one teacher might prove a complete failure in the hands of another. The subject was further discussed by Messrs. Robb and Lough. Mrs. Coulter then outlined her meth- od of TEACIIIING A TABLET LESSON. with a class, and presented a written exercise by these pupils which was well worthy of commendation, To ex- cite the interest and hold the attention of the class as well as to advocate ideas with words she made free use of ob- jects, first presenting the object to the class and having them name it, then writing the word picture on the black- board. And by describing the relative positions of these objects as placed be fore them, an excellent exercise in reading was obtained. After a conver sation with the class about the pictures appearing at the :head of the tablet, the lesson war carefully written on the board from which the reading was taught, the tablets being usei only in review. She also recommended the use of two pointers in dividing the les- son into phrases in order to teach paus• ing and inflection in reading. This paper also brought forth considerable discussion with the final conclusion that her method was an excellent one. Next in succession came the HELEGATES' nnPoirr OF THE, rnovist- ' CIAL, .ASSOcIATio.N. By Mr. Lough, A synopsis of the vari- ous papers,. read at that association were given by hills. It was then mov- ed by Mr. Clarkson 'end seeonded. by Mr. Doig, that, a vote of thanks be ten- dered Mr, Lough for hie Very able re. pori f and that his expellee be paid by this' association, svhieh motion was un, animously canted, • • TYPE WRITING.

Tough, Blade and Scott. • At the conclusion of this discussion the meeting adjournedfor noon, THE AFTERNOON SESSION, On resuming business Mr. Tough answered, satisfactorily, several quest- ions from the Question Drawer bearing upon his particular work. Mr. 4C1ark- son then answered several, questions relating to his particular work. These answers led to other questions by Mes- srs. Horton and McFattl, all of which wore answered to the entire satisfact- ion of all present. Mr. George Anderson then introdue ed the subjeet of nun AND TIAte MEASURDS, He clearly explained the terms Solar and Lunar year,shetving the difierence in length, and platnly accounting for this difference. • He next named and deseribed the VariORS instrtiments used to marlt Time frOtri the earlier ages top; Oft in the stilly night, When Cholera Morbus found me.

Considerabie 'discussion followed by Messrs. Prendergast, Clarkson and •Robb, and. much valuable information was carried off by the listeners. Mr. Loughnoxt presented the scheme for analysis, which was drawn up by the committee appointed for that pur- pose. This scheme met the approval of all the teachers present. Mr. Plummer, ex :President, illustrat- ed his method of teaching music by taking a number of teachers s a class He adopts the tonic solfa. method,first drilling thoroughly on one or two notes then increasing the number until the kale is thoroughly mastered, He then explained accent and time by introdu- cing simple exercises. Mr. Plummer also answei•ed several questions asked by Messrs. Ilorton,Clarkson and Lough THE RESOLUTIONS. The following is the report of the resolution Committee: .(1,) Resolved that the thanks of this Conyention be tendered the Collegiate Institute Beard for the use of their building for the purpose of holding the meeting of the Association. (2.) Re- solved that the clause whereby an ex- aminer is appointed by the Public: School Board to act with the Inspector and the masters of High Schools in the examination of entrance examinations be rescinded, and that an exchange be aliowed between districts. (3'Resol- ved that the Public School teacbers be allowed to use the High School History instead of the Public School History. These several resolutions were adopt- ed.'
