COUNTY CONvENTIos.—This year the
Huron County Christian Endeavor
' Jnion and the Huron County Sabbath
School Association will hold their annual
Cooveutions on Aug. 24th and 25th, the
first day being devoted to Sunday school
work ; the second to Christian Endeavor,
This arrangement was decided on at the
Convention held in Goderiob in August,
1898, and as the leading workers are the
same in both these departments, it will,
no doubt, meet with the approval of those
specially interested. The two Executive
Committees met to arrange the program
and decided that the Convention be held
in Clinton on the dates mentioned. Ar-
rangements are being made to get two
gentlemen from a distance who are speci-
ally active in these departments of church
work, and with the abundance of talent
in the county we are assured of the pro.
gram being one of special interest. Let
all Endeavorers and Sunday school work-
ers remember the date and arrange to be
present.
East Huron Teachers.
The annual meeting of the Eaet Huron
Teachers' Association was held in the
Public Sobool, Wingham, on Friday and
Saturday last. Owing to unsuitable
railway connections the attendance at
the opening and closing sessions of the
meeting was not as large as it otherwise
would have been, but the intervening
•meetings were attended by a large as-
semblage of attentive listeners and en
adequate number of well prepared par-
ticipants iu the program.
The first sitting was opened by Scrip-
ture reading and prayer, after which Mr.
Plummer, the Secretary of the Associa-
tion, read the minutes of the May, 1808,
meeting at Seafortb. These being con-
firmed, and the general, resolution and
reporting committees appointed, Mr,
Dodds, of Grey, intruduced the subject of
English literature. In his treatment of
this subject many important hints were
thrown out, which invoked profitable
discussion. His method of teaching the
enbjeot was clearly outlined by it black-
board sketch. This, in his opinion,
forms one of the essential parts of a well -
taught literature lesson ; strong emphasis
was laid on the feet that this subject
should be taught so as to lead the child to
draw his own ideas from the subject, and
thereby inculcate it natural liking for the
study of various passages. Brief com-
ments were then given by Meagre. Cern-
ems, Musgrove and Inspector Robb, in
wbioh was pointed out the utter impot•
sibility in ungraded schools of thorooghly
teaching every literature selection in the
2nd and Ord readers, and the advisability
of adopting the plan of teaching only
certain prescribed selections fur Gemin-
ation, This method seemed to be uni-
versally approved of by the teachers
present.
On resuming work at 1.80 President
Cameron, Brussels, in his very able
speech from the chair, after his expres.
sion of gratitude for the oonfidence of the
teachers in eleoting him to such a respon.
sibie position, stated emphatically the in.
dispensable necessities and the very great
benefite derived from Teachers' Conven.
tions. He pointed out that in all pro.
fessione there meet be central organiza-
tion and a eineultaneous working sf their
component parts, also the great power of
unity and the inevitable lack of energy
in isolation. He, fie well as the other
teachers preseut,recognizes great benefits
derived from previous Conventions, and
no one can deny the fact that if a teach.
er wishes to keep in touob with the pro•
feasion, and keep out of bit own "rubs,"
he mast attend the Conventions where he
can exobangeideae with hie colleagues.
The foreign talent of the Convention
wag supplied in the petition of Iuspeobor
Dearness, of East Middlesex, and the
manner in which he handled the various
eubjeote oonnnitted to hie obarge proved
that this gentleman had lost none of his
usefulness. The tint subject treated by
51r, Dearness was a very interesting and
instructive one, vis„ Bending through
Parts I and lI in three menthe. lie
pointed out that in tile, as in other lines,
ogre rnstanoes and conditions alter oases,
and that mimeos in carrying out this
work depends it good deal upon the age
of the elase. He is of apiniou that ohild-
ren should not attend wheal until they
are Bevan or at tenet six years of age, that
it is well to get the parents to start the
obildren on the same day, as any other
plan is hampering to the teacher, A
child beginning to learn words, be says,
should be taught by sight say a soore of
words dls-similar in their formation, and
it is a great mistake to begin with snob
words, similar in formation, as are found
in the firer loseons iu the Part 1 reader ;
this book on the tablet be would not use
until lesson, say, XVI. Then after the
quick recognition of the above mentioned
number of die•similar words has been
attained, he would put a number of key.
words before the child and teach these
by oral phonies, first by synthesis and'
then by analysts ; then written phonics,
first by analysis, then by synthesis.
Reading, he maintained, is not simply
Baying words, but the expression of
thought conveyed by words.
The next paper wag one by Mr. Wat-
ters, ou Home Work. This paper was
valuable in many aspects, and the die.
cas-ices derived therefrom
aware very in-
structive.
ett•uotive. Mr. Watters seems to fully
believe that home work is necessary, but
that it should be of such a charaoter as
to supplement the school work of the
previous day,
Mr. Cheswrigbt's able remarks on the
snbleot, "How to teach History" were
meet" appreciated end many plane were
no doubt carried away by the teaches.
Mr. Cheswfighb gave a very systematic
outline of hie method of teaching the
subject, believing that the most effective
results are obtained by Bret giving the
pupils a frame work of the whole, upon
which to fill in details. Indeed the As-
sociation is much indebted to Mr. rhes•
wrigbt for his very valuable and suggest-
ive -treatise on this important subject.
The last, but not by any means the
least important topic of the first day was
that on Physical culture by Miss Reid, of
the Wiughatn Public School staff. After
a very creditable theoretical discussion on
tbie branoh of sohnol work, and a very
vivid picture of the vast importance of a
well-discip''ined body in order to have a
healthy mind, this cultured young lady
with her class, to substantiate her re-
marks, gave a practical exhibition of
exercise on the lawn which proved a de-
light to all the spectators.
Mr. Dearness' talk on Composition,
and his lecture on Nature Study, were
eminently practical, and within the reach
of every teacher, so that none present
could be but benefitted.
As to Mr. Musgrove's paper on Junior
8rd Arithmetic, this gentleman's tact as
an educationist is too well known to need
comment here. In hie lecture he em-
phasized the importance of definite non-
ceptions, and the accurate and correct
statement of rules.
Mr. Stewart, the delegate to the Pro-
vincial Assooiatioo, gave a very excellent
report of the proceedings of that body, at
its recent rneetmg in Toronto.
The Primary Aritbrnotio paper of Miss
Taylor, of Clinton, was exoellent in every
respect, and showed deep study and care-
ful preparation ; this paper was much
enjoyed by the teachers, and Inspector
Robb vouched for the practice in her
school room of the same methods which
were contained in the paper.
The following are the officers elected :
President, J. T. Dodds, Grey ; Ishii, P„
T. N. Forsyth, Kippen ; 2nd V. P., Miss
Taylor, Clinton ; Seo. Trees., A. H.
Plummer, Blyth ; Committee—Messrs,
Black, Wilson and Stewart and Misses
Brown and Farquharson ; Provincial
Delegate, Wm. Lowrie,
The resolution committee reported as
follows :—(1) Tbat the thanks of this As•
sociation be conveyed to the Wingbane
Public School Board for the use of their
school building in which to hold the meet.
ings. (2) Tit•tt we tender oar thanks to
all the members of this Assooiatiou who
either read papers or introduced subjeote
for discussion. (3) That a special vote of
thanks be tendered to Mr.Obese/right,
who at mcob inconvenience, was present
to introduce his subject on Teaching
History,
In oonolusion it may be truly said that
the people in general of Wingham know
how to use their visitors, and that the
Public School Board and staff of teachers
are truly ladies and gentlemen, and the
At Home on Friday evening was one
wbioh will be long remembered by all
those who were fortunate enough to be
present. This being the jubilee year the
clergymen of the town each gave a ten
minute address on the unparalleled reign
of Queen Victoria, each of which was
well reoeived ; each address contained a
nine summary of events of importance.
The address of welcome of Mayor Morton
abounded with valuable suggestions freely
seasoned with wittioietns, making the
teachers feel thoroughly "at home." In-
epeotor Deanne also gave an addrese
which sustained the reputatiou earned
during the day. The town of Wingbam
may ales bomb of its musicians, as the
vocal solos, duets, oto., were excellent,
particularly the rendering of "shat grand
old patriotic song, "The Maple Leaf," by
the celebrated vooalisb, Mr. Brown.
THE APPLE Aon PE,ton Cnor.—Apples
are an unknown quantity, and espeoially
for a couple of years following production
like laet year, There is comparatively
little blossom in appearance on some of
the trees, and in proportion to the number
of trees and quantity of blossom to the
final yield, there will be but a small crop
of fall apples. 01 Bourse, when there are
but few flowing the channels for develop.
went are considerably greater, although
the most critical period is when the blots -
soma are falling. Winter apples are not
looking so bad, but nothing like a full
crop ie expected. Peaches, one of the
greatest and most profitable production,
are promising something big, even after
the strain on many of the trees last year.
Trees whish gave record•breaking gnanti.
