The opening exercises were conducted by Rev, Dr, Larkin, Mayor Harburn then gave an address of welcome in which he expressed himself as well pleased to extend the freedom of the town to the teachers of the Inspectorate. The minutes of last meeting were lead and adopted. Subject of Writing was taken up by Mr, Bouck, The writing of schools in most eases should be improved. Num- erous examples of handwriting were passed about the room. Next subject was that of A Practical Education, which was dealt with by Mr. Posliff, Winghtun. This was a very good ad- dress, full of ideas valuable to the teachers of future Canadian citizens. Miss McKinnon gave a paper on the use of paper and scissors in the school room. She showed that this was ex- oellent study for junior pupils and very beneficial for the studies that come after. Children in this way c01u be taught many useful studies. A very instructive address was giv- en by S. B. Smothers on School Fairs. Ile warned the teachers regarding the placing of exhibits. His address was much appreciated. The discus. slot) was carried on by Messrs. Bouck, Hoover and Fowler, The session of the day was concluded by the Presi- deist's address by George Jefferson.

Miss Mc- Lean and Miss Woods deserved the applause of the audience for the excel- lent showing znade by the pupils. Dr. Field gave an interesting talk on consOlidatedsehonls. He thinks !hero are some centres where it would wntk out well, while other places where new schools are built, it would not do for some time. The little country school has turned out a line type of citizen but it seems to have outlived its usefulness, Miss Snyder gave an excellent paper on the study of Geo- graphy. The first study must be the school and its surroundings, then the township, county town, etc. Miss Mclver's paper on stimulating pupils to work was certainly good ad- vice to Chose present. Cheerfulness in the school room, combined with firmness makes success, Encourage- ment is what counts. The lectures given by A. Stephen- son, B. A. Peed., were masterpieces, interesting the teacher's from start to finish, No teacher there had any- thing but praise for the excellent way in which he handled his poetry selec- tions, His principles of teaching are so bread that they include all the hest 0101 is in the work, The subject of teacher's salaries was taken up by Dr. Field and F. T. Fow- ler. The salaries of teachers are in. creasing gradually year by year. During the last year very few teach- ers in the inspectorate were receiving as low as $600, while many were get - Mg 8800 and 3000.
