SMITH Manager Wingham That earliest slight break in home ties—the morning when TIIE boy or TIIE girl first trudg- es off to school! From that day, the changes are rapid. Every year you note them. And, almost before you realize it, there comes the severer sundering of those ties, when John or Mary with a cheery 'Will be home for Christ- mas, sure," waves a stout farewell. Both of you are choking back sentiment. And afterwards—how pictures, showing all the rapid transitions, do help. Mahe the appointnzent to -day THE MANN STUDIO aY sa^„.4 .0arta ' p&t.

TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION The East Huron Teaohers' Institute met in Seaforth last week. The following resolution committee was appointed—Meesrs, Shillinglaw, Holland and Mark, Misses Bissett and Brock, Mr, 13. Earl Elliott was then called. ed on and discussed "spelling". Mr. Elliott said the art of teaohing epell- ing was to teach the pupil to write the words correctly and become fam- iliar with the form; get a perfect mental image of the word; make use of composition; self correction should be resorted to as it saves time and puts the pupil on his honour; make lists of miepelled words and insist upon neatness in all written exeroIo- es, This paper was further discussed by Messrs. Posliff, bark, Fowler, Dr. Field, Jefferson, Holland, Winch, Hor• ton, Holman and Miss M. Brock. The opinion prevailing that the best methods were those of giving the meanings of words and the correct use in sentences. Thureday Afternoon Mayor Ament of Seaforth in a very neat and witty address extended a hearty weloome to the East Huron Inst itute. Mr. Norman Geddes then gave a very exhaustive report of the pro' ceedings of the Ontario Education As— sociation meeting, which met in To- ronto, during the Easter holidays. The next topic for discussion, "The Superannuation of Teachers," was then introduced by Inspector Dr. Field, The subject was further dis- cussed by Mr. G. W. Holman, who appealed to the teachers to take ad- vantage of the opportunity afforded by the Government to secure the pen- sions provided, Mrs. H. C. Mayberry of Stratford Normal, then gave practical illustra- tion of "Different Methods of Draw- ing for Different classes." Miss M. Brothers gave an excellent paper on "Entrance Arithmetic,", em• phazing the importance of teaching thought with the work, instead of mere mechanical work. Each point in any topic taught should be through- ly taught and impressed before pro- ceeding further. The blackboard should be used freely by teacher and pupil. Every day should be stressed as an important day in the progress of the pupil. Mr, C. D. Bouck of the Clinton Model School then gave an address on "The Physical Development of the Child." Mr. Bouck said in part that it was a subject that all had paid too little attention to, Two sub- jects of importance in the proper de- velopment o1; a child, that of nutri- tion and growth, it was wrong to say the child was a little. man, a little woman, that in the different periods of life the -child was a different being as to treatment. What is food and drink at one period is not at an- other. Mr. Bouck made a strong are peal to the teachers to take more in- terest in this part of the care of the children entrusted to them and to take more supervision of child games and sports. All the after life of the man or woman depended upon the nourishment of the child up to eigh- 'teen. Thursday Evening A. successful entertainment was given in the Town Hall, when Mr. Car- leton W. Stanley delivered a very in- teresting and instructive lecture on Germany's lack of political sense." The Seaforth male quartette rendered a very choice musical program. Friday The election of officers, the first or- der of business, was taken up and re- sulted as follows—President., Mr. C. D. Bouck; Vice -President, Mr. H. E. Elliott; 2nd, Vice -President, Miss Brothers; Secretary -Treasurer, Mr, A. A, Naylor; Executive Committee, Mr, RoyTury ey, Mr, L. Winch, Mise Cooper, Miss McKay, Miss McDonald, delegates to the 0. E. A., Mies F. Buchanan; auditors, Messrs. Beattie and Shillinglaw. The Secretary-Treas. gave some explanations regarding the fees, and on motion of Dr. Field, sec- onded by Mr• C. H. Holland, it was decided to make a contribution to the Red Cross Society of $100 from the funds of the Institute, The adjourned discussion of the "Superannuation of Teachers" was taken up and continued by Dr. Field, Messrs, Holland, Shillinglaw, Horton, Mark, Holman and Posliff. On a showing of hands a goodly number voted for the principle of the bill. Messrs. Shillinglaw, Marks, Jeffer. son, Fowler and Dr. Field were ap- poiuted a committee to look after any objections that may have been raised as to defects in the proposed bill, The President then delivered hie an,?ual address and took for his sub- jeQ, "Patriotism". The object of all teaching should be the malting of good, valuable, patriotic. citkene, lin to -day for e#amplee efpatriots, we should look to our homeland and not go far afield as patriots and dreroea, these known to the pupils were better examples than those dot known. Mee- B. C. Mayberry then tool' the second number of her series of lessons, "Free Hand Drawing," which like the former Ieseon, proved very interesting and instructive. Friday Afternoon, Mr, Charleston W. Stanley of Vic! toria Ueivereity gave an addrees on "The New Views of History Result- ing from the War." In speaking of the idea of the war ending through financial exhauetionr- said it was not according to history. The great ef- fect of the present war should be three {. fold. i I"ret the e r3 olidif3oatlon of the British Empire; second, the great impetus given, to the domebtic advancement of Itudela; third, the LAME BACK Spells Kidney Trouble There's no use putting on liniments and plasters to cure that ache in your hips or back —the trouble is inside.

PV,aV.t �aJa t disappearance of Turkey from the map of Europe. Mr, Stanley said it was a matter of much thankfulness that we had heard the last of the sent- iment of not entangling ourselves in European affairs because it was for the better and broader outlook of a people to add to its reeponsibility. Russia has shown wonderful genius of adapting Aeiatic methods of life to European cuetome. The idea was thrown out that boys should be en- couraged to read history and form clubs to which twenty-five boys at a cost of twenty-five cents each could 'provide themselves with twenty vol- umes of the latest and most readable histories. Mise Maude Brock of Wingham then followed with an excellent address on "History in Public Schools." The child should be taught the story of the neighborhood in which he lives, The St. Bernard dog for instance, could he the key to the story of the silent morke and their works of char- ity in the mountains, their education- al usefulness in England. Imagination is the basis of invention and really of history for that reason. Imagination in the child should be encouraged in acting out scenes, doing something in their own way after all is genius. Pictures should be used and made much use of. Miss Brock thought the day would come when the moving picture show would become part of the school equipment, telling the stories of the Bible, instead of reading them, would prove more interesting. Always have a map before the pupils, and make much use of it, especially in teaching distance, and difficulties of the people, Mr. C. D. Bouck expressed his high appreciation of three of the addresses, those of Mr. Stanley, Miss Brock and Miss Brothers. Dr. Field then spoke on "Rural School Education." Teachers were urged to use the truancy reports as provided by the Department. Dr. Field dwelt upon the good work done at the Summer Schools along the line of teaching agriculture. Regarding the suitability of our course of study to the rural conditions and necessities in carrying out such a course it would be better to change the holidays or part of them. "School Decorations and Care of School Grounds" was the next topic of discussion, introduced by Mr, 0, W. Holman. The combined committees on resolu- tions and superannuation scheme then reported and their report was adopted as follows; 1. That the Sectional percentage paid into the fund be collected by the county council by rate levied on the entire county. 2, That there should be an age limit of sixty years when teachers may retire and receive benefits from the fund, providing they have taught a reasonable time. 3. That the thanks of the Associa- tion be tendered the Seaforth town council for the use of the town hall ; to Me. C. W. Stanley of Toronto, for his instructive lecture' and address ;, to Mrs. 11. C.
