Hart T H E WINGHA East tlnron Teachers' Con, ventlon, Continued from last week lrltioA At 'rant:10mi At I p.m, In the afternoon I)r, Field wad called on to address the teachers on "Canadian Poetry" and by way of introduction give a short talk on general matters pertaining to the teacher's work, Teachers aught to make a practice of reading or mastering some particular works or useful, borks'. The poets Wilfred Campbell, Robertson, Carman, Lamp. man and. Drummond were all spoken very highly of, In speaking of met ers pertaining' to the teachers duties emphasia-wee put on the proper filling of the Registers and Annual Reports. All the blanks should be filled. The number of changes in the inspectorate was givers as only fifteen this past term which was considered low and a very encouraging sign. J. M. McCutcheon B. A, was called upon and discussed "Literature in Pnblic School." The child should have every opportunity for, silent reading to develop the thinking pro nese, oral reading must not pre• dominate in the primary grades. Teachers bhould change their method of so much oral reztding and, permit the child to develop silent thought,. Teaching that does not make the child a discoverer or thought builder is faulty, teacher must get into the right attitude toward the, subject of develot iig if possible a sympathy for the subject. Literature immortalizee all that is beautiful in the world; It touches the margin of every human interest, Read literature so the spirit of the drama may Effect the whole life was the ideals of Greeks and Romans preserved a Literature that g .ve their value, It lifts the mind a ove all petty interests. In life 1 terature can get no hold on the heatt unless it appeals to the sym- pathy, it aids to enjoy good language. Th,e bett thing to do is to provide the child noble enjoyment in reading. To love good books fortheir own sake is et jnyment, only so far ae literature delights is it worthy, not so much what achild knows as what he Loves. A. love of literature touches the springs of conduct it impresses its heroes upon the child. InTeachirg literature little attention should be given to the mechanical structure but the meaning, its' ideals, its thought. Too• .much intellectual analysis tend to dull the mind instead of stimulating, an appreciative study of • the thoughts and feelir gr of the author better than the beauty of the structure. 0. D. Buck expressed his high appreciation of Mr. McCutcheon's in= epiring address. •A hearty vote of thahke expressing the appreciation of Mr, McCutcheon'a addresses was duly carried with applause. Andrew Scott was called upon to lake up the sul ject of "Arithmetic in Public Schools". Mr. Scott discussed the subject under the two heads of what 'should be taught and how to teach it. The child must get all the onmbinations of a number before he can understand it. Give the child a variety not co much repeating. Mr. Scott then gave illustrations on the board of lis methods of teaching the elementary work. it was a waste of time to allow pupils to put down the carried number and an injury to memory. It is a waste of time solving large. complex problems, let the child do the work of measuring rooms, woodpiles', piles of lumber. spending time on things of no practi• cal value was of little value. Insist upon alt work being put down neatly and don't accept slip -shod work, This paper was further discussed by Mr. Horton, Dr. Field and Mr. Posliff. "The effect of the European em- broglio upon our Educational out- look and ideal." was the next subject and was taken by B. S. Scott, Prin- cipal of Brussels Public School. Mr. Scott urged the teachers to think up- on the subject as to the effect upon the future of our citizenship and as the time was limited Mr. Scott con- tented himself with a brief address and in conclusion thanked the teach- ers for coming to Brussels. The quosticne in Question Drawer were answered by Dr. Field and several teachers. The Resolution Committee reported as follows: - Resolved that a vote of thanks be extended to the Council of Brussels for the use of their Ball for the In- stitute, -That a special vote of thanks be tendered to those who so gener. ously took part and assisted in the various papers of the present Con= vention.-That as many schools as possible hold a Field Day and report IO the corning Convention. -That in- vitations be sent to Trustees of schoals for the coming Convention with the idea of interesting the Sections in school improvement, -That the money of the Institute be used in buying suitable books. This library to be kept by Inspector Field for use of teachers. --That the question of Superannuation be taken up and discussed at the 0. 1 A. by our retiresontaiives. all were carried, The collectors for the Patriotic Fund reported and it was resolved to give the sum of $50,00, Convention closed by singing the National Anthem.

Chaplains Must Co to War It is not generally known that clergy who have accepted army chaplaincies in tunes of peace cannot refuse to ac- company their regiments when on active service, however strong the claims of their parishes ,may be. The Bishop of London has been criticized for his readiness to leave his diocese for six woeKs to accompany the Lon. don Rifle Brigade wherever they might be sent, but he really had no choice in the matter, having accepted the chaplaincy. If he refused he would be liable to arrest and trial by court- martial. , Fordyce.' Miss Merle Gillies is working for Mre. Soulless Taylor at present.

Napoleon. Retired Flags Before Napoleota's time it bad been the custom for armies to carry huge, unwieldy flags njoiinted on poles, which, while they afforded a rallying point for their corps, also drew the enemy's fire. Napoleon revived the ancient symbol of the Caesars. The Napoleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and 9 inches across- the wings.
