At the union meeting of the two As-
soelotions the eubjed of the propooed
ehanges in the deportmental regulations
were introcluued by Inapector Tom, and
the disonssion thee followed was intermit,.
ing and instruutive. On me count of lack
of time the disousaion was podponed till
the aftethoon session,
svrairsooll 1,3000I0S.
After the adoption of the report of the
general business committee, the disone-
eion on the proposed (Menges in tloe de-
partoneuted regulations was rammed.
The following motion by Inspector Tom
was adopted ; "That in the opinion of
the oombinod Aosociations of Best and
West Huron the sttbjeots of algebra and
euelid should be included in the week for
public school leaving examination."
A. H. Musgrove, of Wingham, took up
the subject of "How we are governed."
He spoke of the difficulty of teaching
this part of the history and suggested
that every teacher should obtain a copy
of a little book entitled "An Ontario
Township," The vague answers given
by many of the eutrance pupils showed
that this chapter had not been taught as
thoroughly as it ought to be. He thought
the best results could be obtained by
teething, (1) The government of the
British Empire, and (9) That in the
colouies. He woald explain thee the
British Parliament is composed of (1)
the Sovereign, (2) the Hoose of Lords,
and (3) the HOLM of Commons. After
the pupils had a clear oonoeption of the
composition, duties and term of office of
each, he would next loud them to see the
analogy between the British Purliament
and that of Canada. The government of
°aerie should next be exploined, also
that the rnunioisedities of Ontario, viz.,
counties, townshipe, cilia, towns and
villggea hove their head offices and gov-
erning bothee. The judiciary system
should next be taken up with the class,
beginning with the magistrate and end-
ing with the Privy Coancil of Great
Britain. He requested Leeched not to
try to teacb tou couch in oue leseou but
to put frequent drill on what had been
taught. to. toady vote of thanks wits
tendered by the Association to Mr. Mus-
grove for his able and instruotive ad-
dress.
Geo. Baird next gove 0 short address
on "'The limit titble of Uniform Boaruin.
otione," suggesting some important
clumges, among others, that temperance
and hygiene should be taken up with the
third Wass by way of Mike, The address
was followed by s lively Rad intending
disounion in which Messrs. Brown,Rose,
Delp/My and Inspectors Robb and Tom
took port.
Drawing witlt the third oleos was
taken up by Miss Burritt, of Godelich.
She exhibited a few eamples of full hand
drawiugs, bused ou the figures in the
flret and nand part readers, She next
showed her method of teaching the Bab-
ied to a class. She used only Demos
aontaining straight linos. .After drawing
a couple of guide lines very lightly on
the blackboard she would ask the pupils
to draw vertical, horizontsl and oblique
lines on their slates, as dictoted. When
familiar with the work on their slates
the pupils would next be mime to mat
drawings neatly in their books. The
lathe oontothed some vary valuable
111010 to teachers.
Inspector Robb next !showed his method
of teaching arithmetic to third and fourth
chooses. He wao of the opinion thee two
things were netoessory, viz., (1) applying,
and (2) rubbing it in. He began his od.
dress by making the following proposi-
tions (1) That the educationist value of
o mere probletu is olmost a zero. (2)
That problews are best taught In the
shape of exercises. He was in fewer of
giving pupils a good deal of practise on
questions that have been already taught,
giving as his reason therefor thee pupils
leern beat by doing. He would try to
teach the pupils to get correct results,
He thought that the teaching of redue•
tion oould be simplified by using ooins of
different volues.

In the evening a grand entertainment

Mr. Lough, of Cliuton, oddreseed the
meeting.o0 'Vim are of soloed praiser.
ty," giving some very vainabffi hints.
Ile said (--"Our first ditty is to try to
prevent dotmage to tohool property by
riling vigilance. The teacher should
fro -queenly exernine his desks, stove and
maps. Train your pupils in /IOUs of
carefulness and show them that their ad-
eAnoement in future life dapende upon
oarefulnese. Lead them to see that the
property of the school belongs to their
parents end of course afterwards to
them. Do net be afraid of giving advice
becauee none of a have leornt anything
except by the atom of others, spoken or
written. Make the pupils who did
damage replace the same. I would not
allow pupils to mar the desks or other
sohool property. IE window panos are
broken I would insist on their being paid
for (say 20 cents for etch pane) instead
of indieting punishment. s The walls
should not be peneilled and to prevent it
We mat exercise vigilance as this is the
only way to success. Let the toaober aid
a little to repair injuries. to. nail may
repair a desk if taken in time. Atteud
to little things in time and try to get
yoar pupils to have a pride in the op-
1/carollers of their school. Should parents
refuse to payfor damage done I would
i
put the law n force. For the benefit of
my fellow teaohers 1 submit the follow.
ing suggestion : (1) 13e tidy. (2) Train
your pupils to be neat and tidy. (3) Do
not allow cobwebs to collect in the eor.
nee of your school thorn, (4) Do not al-
low pieces of bread to lie on the floor.
(5) Do not allow pleas of paper or apple
cores to be plaoed on the floor or in ink
bottles. (6) Do not o,llow pupils to throw
onythine Into the wood box, as the pro.
per place is the stove. (7) Do nob allow
the pupils to make a slide on the roof of
the woodehed, or climb fenues. (8) Keep
the thistles clown and the woodpile
straight. (9) If a pupil objeote to carry.
ing in wood or sweeping the floor, give
these by way of punishment. (10) Do
not allow pupils to throw apples in tho
room of the sobool as they leave mood
on the walls. See thee pupils take good
care of their own books. There is no
reason why a pupil shonld scribble his
books. You might show pupils how to
mark their books autl thas be a help to
them. We ehmild examine the pupils'
books quite frequently. Flowers and
trees should ha corefully looked after.
Trustees are reasonable men and tee can-
not blame them if they object to baying
ing school supplies when the teacher is
careless. You must remember that we
as teachers are building charnoter and
the future generatioue will be what we
make them."
Mr. Lough was vary highly oommendea
for hia practical addeees. In the discus.
sion which followed Inspector Robb sug-
gested that a committee of pupils from
the senior class be appointed to look
after the sobool room at noon hoer. Ile
also suggested covering einclows with
wire gauze to prevent panes being
broken.
H. L. Strange, .13. A., of Goderioh,
next addressed the emoting on oEntrance
analysis ond parsing." I have lathed
limb there is a. great deal more in this
settled than 1 at fleet supposed. 1 would
have liked to have had more time given
me so that we could fully disouss the sub-
ject and arrive at Immo nommen basis.
There seems to be a foiling off at exam-
inations in analysis and parsing, I know
that the feeling of the Provinciol exam•
iners is to have some oornmen plan.
Pupils very frequently use grammatical
terms thot they do not properly under-
stand, The great difficulty is to get the
pupils to say just what they mean, be-
cause Ws fadl to impress them with oor.
rect ideas. Analysis ond parsing should
hold it very important position la gram-
mar. We should, therefore, try to help
oar pupils to a better understanding of
the subject and also make it a means of
mentel discipline. I would just take up
the practical meaning of a, sentence and
show the funotiono of words, phrases and
clauses. Try to wake sura that the
pupils clearly understend the meaning of
each term used. I would prefer using
the term "proposition" instead of "prin-
oipal clause." I would next prOcesd to
classify sentencea, (1) According to form
into assertive, interrogotivs and inopera-
tive. (2) Aecording to composition into
oompormd, complex end corm
poundmomplex. Very useful di -ill
should be given on the grammatical
volues of words, phrases and °lenses.
In this drill insist upon the pupils know-
ing the uee of each iit a sentanoe and get
them to have a readiness iu giving imit-
able exttmplee. With the subordinate
clauses 5 would give a diatinot word re.
lotion. 5 would take up the main elausee
first aud then the sebordiate.
Mr. Clarkson then pee sevend ex.
amples on the blackboard, showing his
method of teauhing general and minute
analysis.
A hearty vote of thanks wits tendered

he handled his subject.

Mr. Clarkson, of Seoloeth, addressed
the meeting on "Entrance gratnmar
toped from Anolysis and parsiug." He
eta "Owing to preesuoe of work I am

eubjed to teach, as it is not pbonetio.
It is prinuipally learned by means of the
eye. We learn to spell because we want
to write ; the proper way be begin is to
make the pupils write words on thoir
slates. One thing is certain, that it is
useless to set a boy to learn words, with-
out applying them to some immediate
use. Tice long words found in some of
our spelling books should not be taught
at all. When wo meet with a ace we do
not note everything at first. We know
more about it when we sea it often.
Just do with words. Take 0, bad speller
and 1st bins copy down words froon a
book, and I ilin eure be will do well.
Spellitig can be taught without spending
so much time on it, by taking it up in.
eidently, thus leaving more time for other
subjects. I believe tliat there is no use
in getting pupilto learn cut and dried
definitions. I would have conversations
with them, and give tbe meaning of
words by intuition. If we get our pupils
to give short sentences with certain
WOrdS correctly used, we would be teach-
ing them something of value. I would
ale° give the pupils Boom of the simpler
affixes and prefixes. I would begin
teaching grammar by syuthesis instewl
of analysis. The storting point of 300.01-

am fully of the opinion that a great
many of the pupils do not. really know

fellow towhees, there is no higher work

are shaping the destiny of immortal
souls."

ly I thought it tvould not be out of plan
to make Is few observations on a round
trip with a shipment of cattle in hope
they may be interesting to some of your
readere. May lath, was e lino bright
day in Montreal. In the afternoon we
got our eattle ou board moo of the oattle
boate (eitici to be the slowest, gated, hook.
iest aud oldest boat on the line, being
built about 20 years ago) and aboat six
&Week got them in position, tied and
fed. We got neither board nor bed on
the boat that night so had to seek our
supper in the city and lie between balm;
of bay for a had. The appointed time
San starting waS four o'clock in the
morning, as no large boat will venture
either way on the St. CAWrOnee in the
night. We had 100 head of cattle, 30/0
being the boot load, though 501110 take as
many as 700. We had live men and tha
foreman in our gang. On the 20th we
were all mustered on deck to see if eaoh
man bad a pass and to find if there were
any stowaways on board. They found
two and put them off at Quebec,
Through sorne mistake one of our nsen
load no pass and another foreman bad a.
pass but no mon with it, so our man
was taken from us and sent to him. We
nsissed his work very much, espeoially
on the eight watch for eaoh man had to
meth holf the night in his turn to see if
the cattle got loose or in Any other hod
ax. On the same day to door was open-
ed from the lower deck to the eattle
men's quarters which lay between a row
of mottle and the sailor's quarters. When
opened the ploce appeared both dirty aud
musty. There were berths on three
sides, one above the other. We opened
the pont-bole, about the size of a large
dinner plata, which kad always to be
closed when the sea got rough. After a
fair inspection I thought it a pretty hard
place to eat and sleep in aud I did but
vay little of either in it. Oa one side a
big steer kept pounding with bis horns
on the partitionlmost of the night and on
the other aide we oould see the sailor's
lights through the cracks and hear
them talk and move about.
The "look -out man" of the boat and the
boll were on the upper deck near our
ocibin and what with changing there and
the ringing of the bell and our watch
ohauging left us a very slim °hence for
sleep. On the 20th each man got his
bad 0,nd bedding, which consisted of a
pretty well worn blanket and the bare
boards. My blanket was worn through
in more than oue place. We were sup-
plied with plate, cap, knife, fork and
spoon and each had to bring the ''grub"
in his term We bad three rows of
cattle on the lower aud two on the apper
deck. 21st—The boat glides on with
scarcely it perceptable movement, with
land on each aide. 22nd—The weather
°hanging, the sea getting rough, symp•
toms of sea-siokness, no land in sight.
23rd—Storming all night and etill rough,
oold and raining, the sea foaming, the
W5055 running high, the boot rolling and
all hands seamick. Even the rattle am
pear siok for they really do get sea -sick
when the weather id stormy. Still the
work goes on, the cattle are well looked
after aud fed voth plenty of baled hay,
crushed grain ma condensed SS& water
tojdrink, We will now pass on to the
27th when we got our first breakfast in a
little room near the galley, whioh was
my fifth meal since I left Monteeat and
for the three last cloys I bad not taken a
partiole of food, not for lack of food, for
there was plenty of it, but the disgusting
plaee we bad to eat in burned too from
eating. A.bout the seventh day on sea
another cottleman, who load partaken of
about the Shale quantity of food as I had,
went with one and we agreed to pay the
head cook for our board the rest
of the voyage, for we had quite lost our
appetite. They soon brought toe around
all right again and when leaving the boat
WO could tithe a good square meal. I be.

in the afternoon the boat hod listed on

would have to be thrown overboard.
We were in a, puzzle then for all our

TRIP TO Tito EAT •
The following letter from our towns.
mon ie clipped from the Wiugharn Ad.
010100 :—
SO.—When I last saw you I promised
to give you wy impressions of Manitoba
and the Northwest, from where I have
just returned. I Gonna gpeak zoo highly
of tbe country. The crops olong the
main tine of the railway after leaving
Wfueipeg, as far west as Moose ,Taw, are
something grand, more partioularly at
Portage la Prairie and Brandon. It is a
grand sight to see miles or grotto out atod
standing
in shook ; we have nothing in
Ontatioto touch it. The principal towns
on the main lino of railway are Portage
la Prairie, Carberry, Bronclon, Griswold,
Oak Lake, Yirdea, Elkhorn, Mooeornin,
Broadview. Grenfell, Qu'Appelle,
and Moose jaw. About nine miles from
the latter town lives Wm. Watson, for-
merly of Winglutm, whom I had the
pleasure of calling upon, and found them
all well and prospering. Mr. Watson has
a large section of loud, and his crops
look flee. no expects to thrash about
five thousand bushels of groin ; he wish -
52 to be remembered to all his Wingham
friends. From Moose Jaw west to the
Bookies I think the country is not so
well adapted for grain raising, but fur
ranching it must be excellent. Calgary
is it substantial and beautiful town, nice-
ly situoted, surrounded by the Bow and
Elbow rivers. Here I met Goo. Leeson,
another old Wingliam man, who, 5 un-
deratand, has done well in the west. Oa
my return to Winnipeg I called upon
Geo. McKay and we epent 0 very enjoy-
able day sight-seeing in and about the
oity. George sold family are doing well.
In aoncInsion I would say to you or any
