Mr. Chas Snell, sr., had a wide field before him when he introduced the the subject assigned him "Mistakes in teaching" What Sunday School teach- er does not make mistakes. How many teachers prepare for their classes as they ought. How often children come. home and say "I` don't think Mr` A. or Miss B— ever studied the Sunday School lesson at all" andMr. H- never asked us a question just preached to usall the time.

He thought the committee had madeet mis take in assigning a young marl like him to so important a subject, He had only one child to ;train and many here had a half a dozen or even more, to train. He asserted that love should be the underlying principle of all home training. That we should try to en- courage the good qualities in children, and refrain from arousing the bad, He held that in the, home preparation of the lesson,the teacher was more respon• sible than the parent.
