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 titin thousands of convalescent homes - libraries and museums, equip and sate port thousands of technical schools - pay for an army of 50,000 missionaries, ....ferpo,y coals, Waukee; and roedical, comforts to millions, and still leave millions more to spend on similar works of usefulness. Two or three years ago in Winnipeg the waterworks service atia street lighting were sepplied by private cor- porations. The result was high prices 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 Ibyllev. Messrs. Hardie and Irvine of that town.

Carried unanimously, 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. It was 0, great ca.nett for regree that ie, really schools of the country the old plea cif sweeping by the Children was re$IT additionedtostt tii.o the above, a splendid musical program was carried out by Messrs, Bolt, Brown, Brydgen Allin, Miss 0 Sharneao anti Miss Campbell, A speeiel feature of the entertainment and oue that won great applause was the demb-bell exercises by three little lets ender tbe guidance el Miss 'Weir. ast, but not least, were the excellent refreshments served by the teachers of Goclerich and other Mende., In this Pert of the performence all took pert andethe united efforts of the waiters were taxed to the utmost to supply the large number preseot with excel- lent cake and lemonade, which alt thoroughly enjoyed.

Tbe grant ought to be given per capita on the nember of pupils taning the writ, not on the present classification of schoole. The change entailed a great increase of wart:, while it gave little prospect of any material benefit to the already overwrought teecher. The discussion was further continued by Messre, Anderson, Delguty, Strang. Wenn end Boyd. The Assoeiation theu took a short utteortatiskosir as indicated in Om above A. 3, Moore, 13. A., was then called upon and gave a very practical talk on "The necessity for Leathers reeding the daily papers." Mr. Moore buielly sketehed the history of the press, from Ile earliest date, ancl pointed out the need of teachers eeepmg themselves posted on current events, but ueged that great discrimination sbould he exercised lu the choice of papers. Air. Moore sm lied loetlmi ee anner n trit;ch be handled his eubjece that he bad given it much careful study, end his 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 executive to be eceuposed of the above, 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 minutes of the morning session were read and. adopted. 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. Bio IN, n and Strang.
