Judge Morgan was represented by
the Globe to have declared at St.
Thomas that ex -.id. Pritchett's testi-
roony vanounted to nothing, and that
this "new Liberal" luminary was "a
seihconvicted liar." This statement
Was used in Parliament as the defence
in the Brockville and West Huron
cases. Judge .forgan corrected the
report of his language at tbe meeting
trOf the West Elgin Commission on
Monday. What he had. remarked was
that "there was undoubtedly an ele-
ment of truth in what Pritchett said,
but a man of his temperament usually
had a tendency to exaggerate."
Up to the end of March Great Britain
expended on the war the stun of $570,-
000,000. A writer in the Home Maga-
zine has been making a calcalation of
what could have been done with that
amount in philanthropic, educational
end religious effort. He says: "It
would maintain every poor aged per-
son in the United Kingdom, educate
-all our millions of thildren, support all
our paupers, replace every pound spent
throughout the Kingdom on every
form of missionary and charitable
work, endow all our hospitals, support
every church and chapel with their
tens of thousands of ministers, etiain

libraries and museums, equip and sate

millions more to spend on similar
works of usefulness.
Two or three years ago in Winnipeg
the waterworks service atia street

and poor service. The city decided to
go hill) the business. The result is
thot the people own both plants,pricee
have been greatly reduced and the ser-
vice has been improved. When the
work was done by a private corpera,
tion, tbe city had to pay 47c a night
for each light. Public ownership, ac-
cording to the official report made a
day or two ago,the cost to the city, in -
chiding the cost of owning the plant, is
lees then 22 cents a night for each
lamp, 250 lamps at 37e cents would
cost within a few cents of 301 per
night. At 31 cents they would cost
teat than $51 perhnight ; a difference
of 340; or for 300 nights a difference
of $1n000.., And tbe lights are witch

EVENING SESSION.
In the evening a very successful re-
ception and entertainment was held in
the Collegiate Inseitute assembly
room, which was tastefully decorated
for the occasion, The president, Mr.
McDonald, occupied the chair and de-
livered his annual address, which was
an eloquent and e eholarly effort, the
subject being "The Status of the
Teaching Profession : How Oan It be
Elevated ?" Excellent addresses were
delivered by Rev. Jas. A. Anderson,
B.A., on "Teaching Patriotism in Pub-
lic Schools;" Rev. Jasper Wilson, B.A.,
on "Bow Parents May Assist the
Teachers," and Inspector Tom, on
" Tinting and Decorating School
Rooms," all of which was interesting
and instructive.
Rev. Mr, Anderson's eloquent and
timely reference to the deeds of hero-
ism performed in South Africa, espe-
cially on the endurance of the besieged
in Ladysrnith,ilimberley and Mafeking
and the great patriotic wave 13 OW
sweeping over the British Empire,
awoke responsive echoes in the large
gathering, which was manifested by
hearty applaiase.
Rev. Mr. Wilson snoke briefly, as the
hone was late, but gave many practice'
suggestions on his subject, such e
that parents should make carmine
With the teacher and speak not of
"the" school but of "our" school, thus
bringing tbe '134:qne and school into
closer eelationship, that one would be
to it certain extent a continuation of
the other ; also that parents should be
more liberal in paying teachers. Th os
the invested. interest in the scho61
would be greater and would tend to
create a livelier interest in the teach-
er's work. .
Mr. Tom depleted the absence` of
taste displayed in decorating school-
rooms and urged the teachers to take
1 more intereet ia the matter and use
their beflueece with the trustees to se-
cure more attention to proper tinting
1 of the wells and cleaning the school.

remarks were greatly appreciated.
The next thing on the program was
the election of ofilcers, wieich \resulted
as follows: President, Geo. Bloomfield
Crediton; vice president, Aliss L E,
Sharman, Goderich ; secretary-treae.
serer, G. W. Holman. Baylleld ; the

together with the chairman of the dif-
ferent, local divisions.
Wm. Baird. then proceeded to dis-
cuss "Drawing, Santee Classes." Mr.
Baird declared our drawing books to
be very defective, and urged the ne-
cessity of grouping similar objects to
be drawn, and trove an excellent list of
objects to be drawn mid outlined the
method of drawing them. Messrs.
Audersan, Bloomfield and Gowan Miss
Sharman and the president ftuth or dis-
cussed the subjeot,
W, Wightman very lucidly discuss-
ed "Fractions—Multiplication and Di-
vision," using the blackboard freely in
exemplifying his method of teaching
this work. This subject was further
discussed by Messrs. Boyd ancl Moore.
George Bloomfield, the newly -elect-
ed president, then took up the next
itom on the program,"The relation of
the P. S. course to language and grim-
mer." This was Mr. Bloomfield's first
appearance in connection with the
program of the Association and bis
paper was pronounced an able one.
The principal points enlarged upon
were: Too math written work and not
enough oral answering. Have pupils
tell long stories orally, as we cannot
have fluent speakers if the children
get no practice. The use of notes in
school was condemned, as it destroyed
discriminatory power. Different; mean-
ings of same words should be taught
by using sentences with same words
used in !different senses.
The paper was further discussed by
Messrs, Strang and Tom, who compli-
mented Mr. Bloomfield on the manner
in which he dealt with the subject.
Mr. Strang took occasion to say that
this was one of the best meetings he
• had attended. and he was glad that all
the ability had net gone out of the As-
sociation yet.
°LOSING SESSION.
On re -assembling in the afternoon

The secretary then presented the
auditor's report and financial state-
ment to the Government, whigh were
adoped, excep ti the clause in the aud i tor's
report regarding the sending of :two
delegates to the 0. E. A. That matter
therefore stands for future action.
P. Gardiner was then called upon
and gave an excellent paper on "The
this of Tale -hearing," which was
well received. Mr. Gardiner peeferred
private to public discipline, as there
was a great aversion to what pupils
call a "row in school." The sobject
was further discussed by . Messrs.
