T013s:1,
Considerable interest was manifested
Mat week ever the debate iu the House
of Commons upon the vexed question
f separate Schools iu Manitoba. It was
brought up by Mr. Tarte, M, P. for
L' Islet, who proved a reesehation eon-
:•
ret<itlitatol,l of the government for non-
+Jis:tllowanee of the provincial Statute
a>f Manitoba, in 1.890, taking away from
the R. C. rniuorit y � the privilege of Sep -
urate
p
raraate Schools which they had enjoyed
air twenty years from and after the
adnais,iorl of that pibviuce into Con
:Federation. Strange to say, Mr. Daltou
>.iis:Cartliy, who professes to be the lead-
er and mouth -piece of Protestantism in
Parliament, seconded Mr. Torte's mo-
sloe—the evident aitn of this unnatur-
al, '-combine" being to embarrtts the
government and withdraw some of its
sxapporters. Several days were con
atoned in the debate, on which some
able speeches were delivered; although
the attempt made to weaken the gov
element ment signally failed. The Premier
Sir John Thompson, with his usual
ability—reminding one of his great
speeches on the Reil question and on
Jesuit Estates Act --went fully into the
legal and coustitutional aspect of the
� 1
Manitoba School case, fairly demolish_
ling the arguments of the ultra Catho-
lic and Ultra Protestant combine; and
proving to the evident satisfaction of
e- ery unprejudiced mind that the
government, in following the preced•
amts established in the New Brunswick
and P. E. Island cases (where disallow-
ance was refused at the suggestion of
the Trion. Edward Blake) were pursrting
the only proper course open to them in
the interests of peace and good govern -
eat in Maaitoba. No promise, Sir
John Thompson said very emphatically,
was ever given of remedial legislation
e8.• to interfere with the final decision
of the higest court of the realm,—the
audical Committee of the Privy Council
n England, And in dealing with the
appeal of the R. C. minority of Mani
Soba, in which they asked the goyern-
alr in Council to interpose for their pro-
tection, Sir Johnveryproperly remin_
ded the House that a similar appeal
had been made by the Protestant mi
nority in Quebec on the Jesuit Estates
erase, which the government of the day
expressed themselves willing to enter-
tain—but which was ultimately no -
pressed owing to the compimise be
Sween all parties. It is unnecessary to
trouble our readers by rehearsing the
history of this Manitoba School case,
which had gone through all the courts
saf• Canada and was finally disposed of
by the Privy Council in England de-
claring the Manitoba Act of iS90 intra
. ii•es; but the present appeal turns upon
as different point, viz: upon the legal
interpretation to be giyen of a sub
ss.-ction of the B. N. A. Act, on which
the minority in Manitoba claim that
heir legal and constitutional rights
have been invaded. It is a legal ques-
tion altogether distinct from that al
ready adjudicated upon by the highest
court of the realm. And the Dominion
Cabinet, instead of advising His Ex-
cellency in the first instance to exer-
cise the power of disallowance, or in-
terfering with the course of justice at
the present stage, have relegated the
legal question arising upon the con•
straction of the B. N. A. Aet to the Su
;creme Court of Canada, before taking
any action in the case, Sir John
Thompson, in a two hours speech made
it clear to every unprejudiced mind
(that the members of Cabinet we're pur-
suing the only wise and consistent
course in declining to entertain, the
appeal of the minority • in Manitoba,
unless forced upon them by the deci
rsion of the highest court in Canada.

are productive of great good to our
farmers. And they should avail them-
selves of every such opportunity of at-

MM. COIN
East Huron Teachers Convention.
g
An institute meeting of the East
Huron Teachers' Association was held
in the public school, Wingham, on
Thursday and Friday, the 2nd and Srd
of March. The attendance was not as
large as might have been expected,
but the program was well carried out.
On Thursday the fornoon session began
at 11 o'clock, President M. Black in the
chair. After routine the first order of
the appointing of committees, which
resulted as follows: Deporting,—Messrs
Scott and .Hogg. General Business,—
Lough Houston and Plummer. Rese-
solutions,—Doig, Musgrove and Clark
son.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Delegate's Report.—Mr. A. H. Plum
mer, delegate to the Dominion Conven-
tion held in Montreal from July 5th to
July Sth, 1892, explained the origin of
this Association and gave a general ac
count of the work taken up, giving
a synopsis of the subjects discussed by
Hon. G. W. Ross, Minister of Education
Mr. Inch, New Brunswick, Mr. McKay
Halifax, Mr. Sinclair, Hamilton, Mr.
Martield, Pennsylvania, Rev. Dr. Grant
and others.
PRACTICAL TREATMENT OF ENGLISH,
William Houston, M. A., Director, of
Teachers' Institutes, discussed the sub-
ject ".Practical Treatment in English,"
dealing with reading and writing He
first described a child when entering
school and considers that a great deal
of time is wasted by under rating a
child's knowledge. He maintains that
a child can express his or her ideas in
words before having received any pub
lie school training but must be taught
to express them in different ways. Mr.
Houston uses the phonetic method en
tirely,and considers a teacher who does
not use this method a very inferior
teacher. In teaching a child to read
he would always use sentences, not
single words, as we always think in
sentences. He would also begin with
script and would not ask a child to read
print, until it be far enough advanced
to read it in the second part of the first
book, thus discarding the first part of
the first book entirely. He would be
gin the subject writing as soon as the
child commences school work.
"'The duties of citizenship" was to
ken by Mr. W. R. Lough, of Clinton,
He introduced this subject by strongly
maintaining that the amount of his•
tory required at the various examina
tions is far too great, and recommend
that it be reduced to suck an extent
as to premit sufficient time to qualify
the pupils to become good. citizens: He
claims that they should clearly under-
stand Civil Government, Patriotism;
Loyalty and the principles of Flee
Trade, Protection. Revenue tariff,, etc.
to do this he would first clearly show
mode of election, duties, and responsi
bilities of the township council. And
as pupils learn to do by calling .the
sell* house a municipality, and hay-
ing them go through the actual per-
formance of Nomination and Election,
the teacher acting as critic and guide
He treats each governing body simi
larly until he reaches the Federal Par
liament, thus' giving them a vivid and
lasting impression of the duties of the
various officials. Considerable discus-
sion followed by Musgrove, Doig and
Black, •
coarpOSIr1ON,
William Houston, M. A,, resumed his
discussion of the Practical Treatment
of English, dealing particularly with
Compoeition. He considers that Cern
position and Grammer are directly op
posite. Grainmer is the science of the
sentence and is ivaiysis; Composition
of synthesis, Original Corn position
'Should he taught as soon as the child
can write, Dictation is a good exer-
else.if the model be good; it trains the
ear and eye,but the supplying' of Ellip
seg, Mr. ETotfston does not approve of,
In order to become efficient in Colnpo
sition at child requires plenty of praet
ice and plenty correction, of the right
kind. 'Teachers should mit point out
the errors in Composition, the children
should be taught to detect their ower
errors and then tri oori`eet Melt. Coin
pas then exercises should be written in

Jest: Niel should be rewritten, withper-
rers corrected. This subject was fur
ther discussed by Messrs Olarksoo, Agus
grove, Backer and Lough 'Tie meet
ing then edjorited until '9 o'aloel a, m,,
on Friday.
THURSDAY EVENING,
On Thursday evening a public ou .
taituneut was held in the 'Town ` Hall
The program consisted of an address
by alt^..Houston, M. A., on "Esthetic
teat x English." to n ant of Ln.,,lislt, Musical se-
lections by the V'1inghem Orchestra,
and songs by the school. pupils; Mr.
Houston considers the "Jesthetie value
of Literature an iluportout subject, as
children: should be ab'e'te diseoverand
eomprehetd the beauties of literature
and try this means would not be so li.
able to reap literature that would tend
to be unprofitable. He illustrated his
lecture by the "Turee Fishers," by
Kingsley; and "Break, Break, Break,"
by Ten iiysoh. The musical seleetions
by the Orchestra were deservedly ap-
preciated, while the songs by the pu
pits, under the management of Miss
Reynolds, could not possibly be too
highly applauded. The chair was oe
eupied by Mr. Black, President of the
Association.
TIIE SECOND DAY
The attendance at roll call the sec
and day was 65. After routine pro
eeedings the Financial Report was
read and showed a balance on hand of
$115 98. 'This led to a lively discus-
sion by Meesre Doig, Houston, Scott,
Lough, Mosgrove, Plummer, Hogg,
Shearer and Iugram,•as to what should
be clone with the funds an hand. It
Was filially agreed that a committee
cousistin.g of Messrs. Houston, Lough,
Robb, Plummer and Scott be empower
ed to collect the library, also to procure
additional books to the amount of $75.
It was further agreed that the library
be kept in lintoti for
l,.' 0 the i1rSG year at
least, and that each member of the As
sociation have access to the library, al
so that all teachers who snbscribed for
the Educational Journal be considered
members of the Association.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
was the next order of business, and re
suited as follows: President, W. R.
Laugh, Clinton; First Vice President,
MisS Braden, Brussels; Second Vice
President, Miss Batten, Clinton; Secre-
tary Treasurer, A Scott, Seaforth; Ex-
ecutive Committee, Messrs. Mosgrove,
J. Moore, Houston, Hogg, and Miss
Day; Provincial Delegate, A, H. Mos -
grove; Auditors, Messrs McFaul and
Clarkson. Mr. Doig was called upon,
and in a sort of extewpory address
touched on a few points in our educa
Clonal system, explaining why he
thought so many teachers make teach-
ing a mere stepping stone to some so
called higher profession. His princi
pal reason was that the remuneration
is inadequate. HG then took up irreg.
ular attendance and distribution of
school grants, and closed his address by
showing why so many farmers' sons
leave the farm. He claims that boys
should follow the vocation for which
nature intended them. Considerable
discussion followed by Clarkson and
Mosgrove.
SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT Of ENGLISH.
Mr. Houston then introduced his sub
ject entitled, "The scientific treatment
of English." Grammer, he says is the
science of the sentence, and science the
classification of knowledge. He would
commence the study of grammer in
the Junior Third by taking the sen-
tence, as itis the unit of thought, first
divide it into its essential elements,
then classify the words, and finally ar-
rive at a general conclusion, thus fol-
lowing the three successive steps of
induction analysis, classification and
generalization. He next showed his
method of treating complex and com
pound sentences. •
Mr. Houston's lectures throughout
were interesting and instructive, and
considerable valuable information was.
carried off by those who availed them•
selves of the opportunity of hearing
him.

ed:
