EAST SURGE TEACHERS, INST'I-
1.1yrIs' ANNUAL 1IPEI'1'I'I'U.
The Public and digit School teaohers,
of the inspoctoral,distriat of East Huron,
hold their animal institute at Winglam,
on Thursday and Friday, March 211d and
Ord. The general idea conveyed by the
term "institute" its that of a meeting for
the pu1'poee of giving and receiving- in-
etruetiot, not for tt meeting for mere
business deliberation. The speoitti idea
attached to a teachers' institute is that it
is a meeting for the mutual improve.
ment of its members in the art of teach-
ing children by means of school work
and discipline.
This theory of such a meeting shows at
a glance hos important tt may become as
a part of the regular Educational maah-
inery of the Province. In view of their
potential utility the Educational Depart-
ment hits made the holding of these in-
stitutes compulsory, and the trenchers of
some districts find them so helpful that
they !told ono each year of their own ao•
cord, in addition to the one made
obligatory by law. lior East Huron
only one a yens is held, and at times the
attendance ou that one is disappointingly
small, as it was this time at Wingbam.
Some dismission took plane on this very
matter, but no notion was taken to pro•
vide a remedy for a regrettable state of
affairs. This may have been due to the
enforced absence of D. Robb, the inspect.
tor of the district, who was unfortunate-
ly detained at Gerrie by illness. It
soome rather discreditable to all uoncern•
ed that advantage is not more generally
taken by teachers of such opportunities
for self improvement in relation to their
important work, and now that the matter
has become one of interest to the teach -
ere, they will probably take steps to
secure it larger attendance and a deeper
and more wide -spread interest.
The meeting at W iogliam was largely
in the hands of W. Houston, M. A.,
official director of institutes for the
Province, but several members of the
institute also contributed to the program.
A. II. Plummer, or Blyth, gave 11.0
interesting account of the meeting of the
Domiuiuu Bilnoatioual Assoeiatiou at
Muutreal last Summer, to which he had
been sent Its a delegate, and this was
followed by a general disanssion of sumo
of the points raised in his report. W. R.
Lough, of Clinton, read a brief, bot very
suggestive, paper on "De ties of Citizen-
ship," treating his subject from an al.
most purely pedagogical point of view.
His argument wits that some eubjeots on
the school program, notably history,
should be taught with a view to making
them practically useful iu preparing
ohildren for the future discharge of their
duties as citizens, and to this caul he
would, at school, make them acquainted
in ways as interesting and instructive as
possible with the working .or municipal
institutions. This paper gave rise to a
profitable discussion. Wm. Doig, of
Leadbury, dealt vigorously with some
points commuted with our Educational
system, culling attention especially to the
frequent change of teaohers, which he at-
tributed largely to low salaries. Ile
criticised some features of the school
which hamper the teacher in his work by
requiring him to pay too much attention
to getting candidates through examin•
ations, especially the High Sohod[ Eu -
trance Examination.
W. Houston, as dirootor, took up the
teaohing of English iu throe aspeots-
practical, soientifie and Waletie ; the
last named he dealt with in a public ad-
dress in the 'Torun Hall on Thursday
evening, inking for the basis of his m -
marks two short poems-Kingsley's
"Three Fishers," from the Fourth Baad-
er, and Tennysob's "Break l break 1
break 1" from the High Sohool Reader.
Ho dealt strongly on the neoessity of
doing more than teaohing children to
react, and on the danger of burning them
loose into the work of literature without
doing something to cultivate their taste
and train their judgment, His address
was a plea for the artistic and osthotin
study of poetry as the highest kind of
literature, and ho earnestly advised
teaoboo to get pupils to commit to
memory beautiful passages.
Under the head of "practioal treat-
ment" of English, 14Ir. Huston dIseus-
sod various methods of teaohing reading
and writing to young pupils, advocating
the use of soript before print, and
advising teachers to dispense altogether
with the use of the first part of the first
reader, beginning the use of print with
the second part after the pupil is familiar
with script. Under the same head ha
discussed at length the teaching of
composition, advocating the p000110e of
oeeay writing, on themes, as the most
effective praotico, and the thorough
discussion of pupils' own errors as the
beet means of training in tho correct use
of language. Ris discussion of the
"soientiflo treatment" of English was a
otroug plea for more rational treatment
of grammar and rhetoric, especially the
former. Ide pointed out inoidentaily
many of the glaring absurdities of the
ordinary grammatical oategoriee and
nomenclature, mid dismissed at length
the nature of inductive teaohing, giving
illustrative examples of its application to
the analysie of 00nteneera He would not
give names to be delluod, but would
1 make the pupils dlaoover• the nature of
Beluga and then give them nonce eta a
mere matter of convottlonce.
The elcotion of officers for the ensuing
year took plane and resulted as follows

The Treasurer's report showed a
balance of 5110 on hand.
The following resolutions were passed :
1. Iu regard to the communication
from the North Y.orkToaulters' Amsoein•
BIM, that township cotaoils appoint one
or more persons to act as truant officers.
Resolved that no notion be taken.
2 In regard to the communication
from West Huron Teaohore' Association,
respecting drawing books for entrance
examination, that one book only be sent
in. We tiro of the opinion that one
drawing book is sufficient, but that, in
ease two aro required, the marks award-
od for that subjeot should be a maximum
of 100.
3 That a vote of thanks be tendered
the Pnblio School Board for the nae of
their school bailding for holding oar
meetings ; to the Town Connell for the
free use of their ball for the evening
entertainment; and to those who took
part in the entertainment, and especially
to the school penile.
4. That the reporters of the proceed -
Inge of dile meeting be paid for their
services,
6. That Canadian history, only, he the
limit for entrance work, and that a Dopy
of tide resolution be sent to the Educe,
tion Department, to the Provincial and
other Assooiatione.
On motion of A. H. Musgrove, sea -
ended by Mr. Doig, the meeting adjourn-
ed to meet in Brussels at the call of the
Executive Committee.

A Goon NLovu.-A new association has

Veterinary Medical Association. The
organization meeting was held in Clinton

McIntosh, Brecefield ; Vioe-President, J.
E. Wilson, Wini;ham ; Treasurer, J. E.

Londesboro. Quarterly meetings will be
held. Matters of greatimportance to the
public and the association -the various
animal diseases and special complicated
oases -will be discussed at those meet-
ings. Tho new association should prove
a source of benefit to the profession and
the public generally. The next meeting
will be hold iu Clinton on April 511).
Luolcncw Sentinel :-"A parcel con-
taining 0228 was stolen from the Leek --
now express office some time between
Saturday afternoon, February 251h, and
Monday, 27111. The package arrived
hero on the mail train at four o'clock
and was deposited in the large safe in
the express office, but on the owner of
the money calling Eor it on Monday it
could not be found. Tho safe was looked
by the agent, Mr. McDonald, before leav-
ing the office on Saturday night, and it
wan also found locked %viten he returned
on Monday morning. Iiow the money
was taken is a mystery, but the supposi-
tdon is that the package was removed
from the safe sono time on Saturday
evening before the safe was locked.
The general inspector of the aompnny
and a detective spent a couple of days in
the village investigating the robbery, but
so far no action in law has been taken.
The loss is a serious one to Mr. Me -
Donald, and we hope he will sconeed in
recovering the money.
Sherman Arp, colored, was hanged at
Centre, Ala., Friday, for the murder of a
farmer named Pogue. Arp sold his body
to the doctors by the pound a few days
ago, getting 512.40 for it.

Widespread aria destruotive prairie

Unlike other cathartics, the effect

the excretory organs and restore to
them their regular and natural ac.
tion. Doctors everywhere proscribe

tition, they have always maintained
their popularity as a family medi-

than ever before. They are put up
both in vials and boxes, and whether

are preferable to any other. Have
