Fire Inspector isits Wingham. Mr. Norman Wil on, of Toronto, In- spector for the Un erwriters' Associa- tion was in town of Wednesday of last week and conduct d an inspection of the town's fire-fi ting service. The fire alarm was run shortly after elev- en o'clock and the re brigade made an extra good run an had everything in readiness in short rder. The pressure from the water -w eel service was not quite as good a on previous tests. There was consid rable delay in get- ting the new elec ical pump in work- ing order, but wh n the test was made it showed a goo pressure from this 'pump. The Insp ctor gave many good suggestions looki g to the improving of Wingham's wate works system, and e will send a detai d report to the Tc:.va Council. There ere unfortunate i..ai- d3nts in connect on with the day's pro- ceeding's and M yor Spotton called a special meeting, of the Town Council for Thursday members were Mills, who is o reported what ence during th and thought t some action. vening when all the present except Coun, of town, The Mayor ad occurred in his pres- day of the inspection e Council should take he matter was discuss- ed from 8 o'c ock until nearly 11.30 o'clock when t • following motion was carried unanim usly, Reeve McDonald asking to be e used from voting as he is a member of the Fire Brigade: -- "Moved by oun.

The TIMES an is sorry to have to report events .f this kind and we are sure that the essons learned last week will long be! remembered and will be for the bettering of conditions. EAST HURO TEACHERS. Successful Conventio Held in Wingham Last W ek. The 39th annual c. vention of the East Huron Teachers was haid in the opera house, Wingha , October 17th and 18th. The morning sessio opened in dna form. In the absent: of the Preside*, lvlr. Holman, Mr. F eld occupied the clstiir. Programme and Resolution Committees were ap.ointed andreport- ers drafted. Mayor Spotton op ed the afternoon session with a cordial address of wel- come. Mr. Logan, •pecialist in Pen- manship of Peterboro gh Business Col- lege, was then called upon. He open- ed his discourse wih the utilitarian 'alue of good writing as a source of ex- pression in all the subjects of the cur- riculum. It was sho}vn that the mus= eular movement far isurpassed the old detrimental copy -bolls system in that it is the more pre tical. Mr. Logan demonstrated the proper position of pen and pupil to : thieve the best re- sults. With the 'a d of the board he showed the vario's steps in the pro- gression from the owest to the highest grades. The addr•ss was followed by an enthusiastic d scussion on writing Mr. Logan is on he teaching staff of Peterborough N.rmal School and is thoroughly acqua ted with the subject. This was folio ' ed by a girls' chorus under the superin endence of Miss Rey- nolds. The chor was heartily encor- ed and replied to ,y a second perform- ance. This was : n excellent demon- stration of wha may be done by the Tonic Sol Fa sys •m. This was folio' ed by an address by Mr. S. Pickles, • ho is on the staff of London and Stra•i ord Normal Schools. He first dwelt on the necessity of Man- ual Training as a liberal education. If we are true to ou • profession we must develop the chi 's motor activities which are lying dormant. Pupils re- quire. a certain s imulus and Manual Training fulfils thi requirement. The training in the th ee R's is now being displaced by the t aining of the three H's—Heart, Head and Hand. In his second add ess Mr. Pickles first dealt with the m.thods of teaching Manual Training. e exhibited excel- lent samples of han, work one by Pub- lic School pupils a d explained their construction. This address as well as the first was greatl appreciated. Mr. G. R. Smith .f the High School Staff gave an excell•ut paper on Meth- ods in Arithmetic. i is remarks were of an encouraging character. The changes in the methods of dealing with numbers were illust ated and the prac- tical side exemplifie He made a short reference to the etric System, its origin and its gra, uual displacement of other systems. 1 samples of rapid calculation and shor methods were de- veloped on the blac board. Mr. Percy, also of the High School Staff, followed Mr. Smith with a paper on Nature Study., a provided a solu- tion for the problem of Nature Study in the Public School. He demonstrated through the theory of evolution the close connection bet een man and Nat- ure. Nature Study is purely human and the pupil should am it in such a manner as to acquire the knowlege by his own efforts. Dic ating of notes by the teacher was str ngly condemned. Collections and note made by First Form pupils were ex ibited. In con- cluding, Mr. Percy ga e a brief outline of the work which sh uld be taken up in Nature Study, he address was highly applauded. On Friday mornin the officer:, for the year 1912-13 wer elected:—Presi- dent, Mr. B. S. Scott of Brussels; vice- president, Mr. A aylor, Seaforth; 2nd vice-president, M ss Smith, Brus- sels; executive co mittee, Messrs. Bouch, Holman, Fow er, Misses Mac- Gregor and Welsh secretary, Mr. Stalker, Wingham. Miss Blyth then ga a an interesting paper on Art, setting forth the value of the subject in all anches of study. An outline of the con se and the meth- ods in teaching was also given. Mr. Field then told the a.dience that Miss Blyth's remarks we . not theory but that she had put hem into practice with excellent resul Miss Rance, of C1' ton gave a bright talk on Golden ilence and Silver Speech. There has not ••en enough stress placed on reading si ice it is of value in all subjects. Natu al Reading should be encouraged and is indispensable as a means of prop: expression. Mr. Musgrove, M. L. . gave a splendid talk on matters per aining to the con- ditions of previous times compared with present condit .ns. The teaching profession has a bri ht and progressive outlook. At cot.vlltions some years $1 A YEAR IN ADVANCE ago the majority the teachers were males. Now it is t reverse. Wheth- er this condition w s better than the old Mr. Musgrove d dined to say. Mr. Scott, of 13ru cels expressed his appreciation of t honour conferred upon him in elect ng him President. He then gave a sp endid discourse on English Literature as a centre about which all the other ubjects are gath- ered. Then followed a well rendered solo by Miss Mackenzie. Mr. Posliff then ave a short but interesting talk on sc ool sports, show- ing the value of phy 'cal development as an aid in building p a bright and healthy mind. It ale breaks down the barrier between the upil and his in- structor. Mr. Holman, the etiring President, closed the session w th a few remarks on "My Ideal Scho," dealing particu- larly with the well alanced programme and the good relationship existing be- tween teacher an pupil, these being the main features f an Ideal School. The Resolution ommittee met and drafted the follow nk resolutions: - 1. Resolved, th t a hearty vote of thanks be tender d to the people of Wingham for their hospitality and hearty welcome. tI 2.
