4 VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
Dna ermlina ig about half way between
Stirling and Edinburgh, a busy town
largely engaged in tho linen trade ; Boma
years ago it manufactured cangiderably
over 51,000,000 worth annually. A son•

immediate vicinity of the town, which -is
noted as Iho earliest place where coal tune

been the capital of the oountry, Mal -

made it his reddenoe and there he
tarried Margaret, the Saxon Princess,
by whom the line of Alfred was tramp
milted to the present (royal family. She,
along with her brother, was fleeing to the
00ntinent to escape from William, the
Norman, when they were driven in a
storm on the ooast of Fife. This became
the home of robe exiled Prinoess and in
due time eke became the wife of the
Xing, who though he makes not mach of
a figure in Shaltespeere'e drama, was an
able ruler and bad the wit to take the act.

taught him not ou)y to speak but bo road
English and she encouraged many of her
countrymen, either as exiles or as emi-
grants, to follow her eo that from her
time the Anglo Saxon became the
llulgnago of the lowlands. Tho church
at Dunfermline i3 something like that at
Stirling in that though to look at from
the outside it would seem one building
they are in both eases really two when
you are ineide. The old one hare is said
to date from the time of Margaret, It ie
not exactly certain whether the building
as it now stands is all of it so ancient,but
itis bnilb in the same style as the Cath-
edral at Durham whish was founded by
Malcolm, four menthe before his death.
Tuogof, the Prior of Durham, was Mar•
garet's confessor and biographer and
from his name wits evidently a Norman
who no doubt had oonsiderablo to do with
both churches and their ria called style of
architecture. The roof is supported by
large coluuuls, some of which are unique
in that owing to the zigzag fluting cot
into the columns they appear, when you
are standing in 000111in planes, to be eon
siderltbly perpenclieular as mneh ns six or
seven inched but when standing at other
points aro perfectly in lino with the plain
columns. There aro two oelumus of the
aam,de8cription at Melrose Abbey and in
both muses they were pointed out by the
guides as it is Only in certain positions
that they so appear. The old church is
dim and sombre nncl if its windowe were
painted dont recollect anything striking
about them, Wo olfnlbed ite bell tower
up a very narrow, winding stair, the
haunt of the spider. If we bad met a
gentleman miming down wo could not
have passed each other as the passage io
some places is so confined. In some
parts it was nearly dark bat when we
repelled the top past tate boll 0•0 got a
grand view. It made m° giddy to look
straight down, witiah you can easily do
as the balustrade is not at all high.
This was the church of Ralph Erskine
until 11e was ousted along with bis brother
Ebenezer, of Stirling, in 1730. Ralph
was the author of the Gospel Sonnets so
long a favorite volume in Scotland. Af-
ter coming down WO went into the now
ahnroh which was built about 70 years
ego. In digging Per its foundation the
workmen came upon tate coffin of Robert
Brooe. I1 was cointerredwith greet

on four ]natal pillars, is exactly over the
graveion in large bronze

twelve royal personages lying right along
side, taking up the epee from the pulpit
to the side wall. There aro several tab.

the Elgin family whose burial plass is
here, they being Brutes also. Their
country spat, Broomhall, is three miles
out of the town. Margaret was buried
here and after a time Malcolm also. It

on it are the sockets in which were fixed

the monument are well laid out and kept,
among the plants there are two said to
bo from Shakespeare's famous mulberry
tree. It is but a few yards farther to
the old bridge of one wide arch, high in
the centre, narrow in the roadway and
in good repair which is doubtless disused
because of its ino011venlen00 in getting
heavy loads over it. A short way down
the stream there is a good, two arched
bridge for common use. Going over the
old bridge, the old roadway being 86111
open for pedestrians, wo gazed for a short
time upon the stream sung so often in
many lands. We then retraced our steps
to Ayr by a different and somewhat
longer route, passing by their splendid
race course, the inn from which Tani is
supposed to have started on his famous
ride and landed in Glasgow in time to
have tea with a school fellow, who bad
been elected four days previous bo the

Teachers' Parliament.
A meeting of the East Huron Teach.
en' Association was hold in the Collegi.
ate Institute, Soafortb, on Thursday and
Friday of Last week. The weather being
very unfavorable the attendance was not
go large as might 110,70 been expected.
The first session began at 10:30 a. m.,
Thursday. After the usual opening
exoraisee, roll.onlling, reading of minutes
and the appointing of the various Com-
mittees, the President, A. H. Plumper,
Blyth, called upon James S. Hogg to
disouss the subject,
0081rosrrION.
He maintains that this subject should
be commenced in the Senior First class,
by having the children describe the posi•
tion of objeobe placed before them. As
a second step, he recommended that after
the literature and reading of a lesson bad
been taught, a number of questions from
this lesson should bo written on the
blackboard, to which the pupils are re-
quired to write answer0. The third and
most important moans advocated by him
was that short, interesting stories be
read or related to the pupils and that
these be reproduced by tllete. This
paper drew forth a very interesting dis-
cission by Means. Lough, Robb, Clerk.
son, McFanl, Doig and Sentt.
The meeting then adjourned for noon.
The afternoon 0080i0n began at 1;110.
The first subject was
0000010011,
by teto. Black. He considered that this
was a very important subjoob for the fol-
lowing reasons : rat—For the informs•
lion obtained ; and—Its fitting the pupils
to obtain knowledge for afte).' life ; 3rd—
As a means of mental cohere. In ardor
to be a enooesaful teacher of this impor•
tent-oubjeot, we should know : lot—
What to teach ; Ind—How to teooh it.
Ile thought a general knowledge of the
hnann000, materna, occupations, etc.,of
the inhabitants of the different countries
0lnonkl be taught in preference to an ex-
tensive list of tibias, towns, etc. 110 did
nob, however, give any part0almr method
of teaching this subject, as he considered
that methods used au000sefully by one
tetteh01 might prove a complete failure
iv the hands of another. The subject

and Lough.
Mrs. Coulter then outlined her niettod

1,19L19n1•1.l,s' 1(111'01'0 or The l'ImVINr1.11.,
,t0BO0LATION,
by Mr. Lough. A synopsis of the various
papers read at that 100000iati01 eon given
v him. It war then moved by Mr.
Clarkson and %minded by ;Mr. Doig, that
a vote of thanks he tendered Mr. Lough
for his very able report, and that his
expenses be paid by this aesoolation,
which motion wan unanimously carried.
J. G. McLeod next read a paper on
11040 '00 OBTAIN 0110011,
Ile stated that this gtloetiou is one that
very closely effects ouch one of us In the
teaulling profession, and often decides the
question of 000oe00 Or Callum. A teacher
who obtains order mast have firmness
and deoiaion. This enables flim, after
giving orders, to see that they are carried
oat, IIe warned teachers against giving
too many commands. Tho second guar.
ity neoes0ary is kindness and sympathy,
as kindness begets kindness, and by this
means we obtain the sympathy and con-
fidante of the pupil. Another essential
element in the teauhoris 0 perfect know-
leclgo of the work to be taken up in the
school. lay this means he will create in
his pupils an admiration for correct
actions and manners, Not only is 11
necessary to know the subject, but it is
necessary to know the mind and disponi•
bion of each pupil, so that he may be
better able to correct any wrongdoing.
A teacher should also know how bo pre-
sent the work s0 00 to keep the constant
attention of bis pupils. If pupils are
kept constantly employed and their work
made interesting there is little fear of
disorder. Again, there s11onld bo a well
defined system of procedure in all parts
of the work. Another essential element
in a teaoliac is vigilenoe and tact. Vigil-
eooe, properly exercised, will sot a3 a
preventative to wrong -doing, and craven -
lion i8 better than care. Tact will en-
able him to deal with the many different
cases wbioh Neill present themselves.
Thephyaical comfort of 8110 pupilo 511001(1
also be considered. Praise, properly
given, or short spicy stories, illustrated
by the result of the proper notion, may
be a means of procuring good order. Mr.
McLeod considered that such offences as
lying, swearing, dm., should be suhjeotod
to corporal p0ui81imont. The subject
was also farther discussed by several
teachers present. T11fs closed the pro-
ceedings for the day.
'inn evz111o,
In the evening sr public entertainment
was held in Cardno's Hall, and was pat-
ronized by n largo audience of teachers
and citizens. The program, prepared by
a committee of the toaobers of Seaforbb,
was well carried out. The principal
feature of the entertainment wan an ad-
dress on the land marks of Canadian
history, by G. W. Field, B. A., of Guelph.
He claimed that these hand marks were
as follows :—let, The discovery and ex-
ploration of Canada by Jacques Cartier ;
2nd, Surrender of Cauada to the English
in 1750 ; 3rd, The Constitutional Aot of
1791; 401,, The Ad of Union in 19,11 ;
5811, The British North American Act
of 1907. He pictured eacll of those events
in glowing language, introducing the
names of the chief characters who took
an motive part in bringing them about.
Mr. Field's address throughout wee elo.
quant, interesting and instructive. This
address wns suplemouted by instrumental
selections by Misses Ewing and Doble ;
vocal solos by Mrs. Smith, Mrs, Bright
and Mr. Willis, and readings by Mrs.
Lowrie and Dr. McKay, each of which
were well rooeived. Thomas Kidd, chair.
man of the Collegiate Instituto Board
acted as chairman.

overcoming the various difficulties whioh
present themselves in the fou elementary

pupils to &lenge rho signs in the subtra-
