PRESIDENT
East Huron Teachers' Meet at Sea-
forth Qiftcere Elected -- Next
Meeting in Wingham.
The fifty-sixth annual Convention
of the East Huron Teachers' Institute)
opened 'at 10 o'clock, Oetober 10, ht
. St. ThomasParish Hall; Seaforth,
with 123 teachers present and was a
success in every respect. Principal
Edwin R. Crawford, of Seaforth Pub-
lie:School, the President, occupied the.
chair,
Rev. W. P. Lane of Seaforth eon -
ducted the opening exercises and May-
or Golding in a neat address welcomed
the teachers to Seafcrtli on behalf of
the citizens ofthetown.
The records of the last convention
held an Blyth were read and adopted
on motion of the secretary and Mr,,
Pcsliff.
Inspector Field then named the
following Cominitties:
Nominating Cemtuittce—Mr, Sam-
uel Jefferson, Miss Della Lavery, and
Miss Forrest,
Resolution Committee—Mr. Henry
G. West, Mr. Norman Hoover and
Miss Jamieosn..
Mr•.E. R. Crawford in his president-
ial address chose the subject "Teach
ing—a Trust" he wondered if teachers
of Ontario .are always cognizant of
the importance. of the trustereposed
in them, and cited examples that had
come under his own observation
wherein teachers had apparently for-
gotten, if they had ewer known, the
high character of their calling;
Teaching, he said, never degrades
but always dignifies those who are
engaged in it. The work is difficult
requiring wisdom, tact and above all
Patience. The teacher must. to be I
'successful, be an active aggressive.)
intelligent compound of love, zeal,
wisdom, virtue and above all justice.
Scholarship, though a necessity must.
for success be reinforced by that'
subtle power we call Force of Ghar-
acter. A teacher reproduces herself
in her pupils, they being hero-wor-
shippers and mimics, and in her care
many more hours per week than they
are in direct touch with their par-
ents. The responsibility for building
character rests heavily on the teach-
cr, and is the most important part of
her work.
Teaching is an art; the teacher is
the artist, the scbeol and school yard
her studio, her material. childhood.
and the resulting picture is a human
soul.
Teachers are often misunderstood,
and unappreciated but the teacher
who undertakes the task of character
building assumes agreat responsibil-
ity. She must be exemplary in her
duties as a citizen for from her will
he copied probably 20 or 30 citizens
f the next generation. This, he felt,
makes teaching the greatest trust in
the world.
Miss Douglas of }Iowick, gave an
instructive talk on "Geography in se-
cond class". For arousing. inter ea
t
Geography and Nature Study should
be correlated; A short time spent in
the outdoors she thought preferable to
c"t and dried definitions that have
little or no meaning to the young
child. She recommended the more
frequentuent use cfpieturrs fromn mag-
azines,
a -azines, cutouts, imaginary trips, col-
1actions and charts prepared by pupils
in order to arouse the interest end en-
thusinsm of the class. She had on ex-
hibitien a cut -nut Japanese village.
prepared by her class that aroused
the interest of the convention and
must .have been effective in her geo-
graphy class.
Miss Myrtle Armstrong was then
ealled on to present her paper on The
New English History. Before dis-
cussing the new text she pointed out
F' me of the reasons for the teaching
of history in junior fourth, the grade
in weleh the new text is aced.
(1) To teach the debt we owe to our
forebears for the social, political and
u•i'her conditi' ns in which we live. (2)
To arouse an intelligent, patriotic in-
terest in our own country and empire.
r3) To build up a taste for history
ler the pleasure it will give in later
life.
She thought the new history an
;movement on the olcl because of its
interesting content, and simplified
language. Pupils want to read it.
The increased number re interesting
pictures, and its conciseness add to
its value as a text. Davi: oto social
conditions, ? wars and treaties are
avoided, to be taught at a later period
whet the minds of the children are
mote fully developed. She then il-

teaching of a history lesson on "The
Ancient Britons,"
At the noon hour a luncheon was
served by the ladies of North Side °
United Church. After a bountiful,
well served dinner itfr. A. Farmer,
Principal of the Collegiate Institute
Seaforth, spoke on "The Trend of
Education," reviewing the progress of
education through the ages, giving
the present trend and even looking
into the future. The convention was
delighted with t,his address and many
expressed their desire to hear Mr.
Farmer, on future occasions.
Music was furnished for the oc-
casion by Miss Beattie and Me. Stew-

Miss Everson of
Normal School opened the afternoon
session with a paper on "Teaching
Health". To make the most of our
lives, our spirits must be served by
healthy physical bodies. Human life,
once so cheap, to -day has enormous
actual andpotential
value. To -day

rective measures occupies the centre
of the stage. Adult life as well as

said, should deal with the physical as

and wasteful, To successfully teach
health the teacher must believe and
practise health laws. Cleanliness of
seheels, proper desks, gond ventil-
ation and facilities for cleanliness:
must be provided. Common disease
and defective teeth, tonsils and ad-
enoids should be detected by the alert
teacher.
Miss Everson then outlined a course
in hygiene throughout the grades re-
commending the use of health songs,
stories. ga 'nes, dramas, protects and
group interest to add to the interest
and effectiveness of the teaching.
The ennvention then broke up into
conferences of the various classes
which met in the 'public school, led by
various teachers, these conferences
discussed tho difficulties met with in
their particular spheres of work.

Mr Anderton, Supervisor of Music,
Its Clinton and Seaforth Public
Scheele, then introduced the subject
of music in sehcols,• Ile deplored the
lack of serious attention to the sub-
ject in Ontario as compared with the
attention given in the schools of the.
British Isles and on the Continent of
Europe, but expressed his pleasure
at our Educatioi Department's
present efforts to remedy those con-
ditions, He stated that the three
most important reasons for the in-
struction of children int music and
singing• are (1) For health: tamely
for this )'easonesinging le a compul-
sory subject in every Board School
in England. (2) Of the Arts none is
so important of 'so uferl in after life.
(3) For the brain-trnining the theory
and praetiee gives, In the sixteenth
century music was placed second on-
ly to arithmetic, as a mathematical
subject. Singing may be taught in
three ways, all good to far as they
go, viz: (1) Rote singing, which at
least develops the voice, trains in
musical appreciation, and in some:
extent time, pitch and rhythm. (2)
The staff system.. (3) The tonic sol-
fa system afterwards applied to the
staff. Both these evtsents are sat-
isfactory, but, with children, great-
est progress can be made with the
third. Mr. Anderton traced the de-
velopement of the system, and with
a. class of small boys and girls brief-
ly demonstrated his method, with

ing, application of solfa to staff no-

Dr. Field was the final speaker on
the program. He spoke of the suc-
cess of some of the school fairs held
in the Inspectorate and thought that
other schools might profitably take
part in. this branch of education: He
complimented school boards and
teachers on improvement itt beautifi-
cation of school grounds and build-

a few are dilatory in this respect.

teachers the regulatinns regarding
religious instruction, new attendance
