East Buren Teachers in Council
Convention of the teachers of this
inspectorate was held this year iu the
Town Hall, Seaforth, October Stir and
10th. It was au excellent meeting and
well attended, there being 108 teach-
ers present. 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.
The entertainment in the town hall
was a decided success. Excellent
solos were rendered by Messes. Israel
and Sills, and instrumentals by
Messrs. VanEgmond and Stewart.
The lecture by Prof. Horning was very
touch appreciated. The drill by the
girls and the chorus by the boys was
certainly worthy of the applause of
the audience, Too great praise can-
not be given to the instructors, Miss
Habkirk and James Robb.
Mo', Rose' paper. -A. very practical
paper on Aritme1ic was given by Mr.
Ross, Principal of the Seaforth Col-
legiate. He outlined the work care-
fully and his work was greatly ap-
preciated by the teachers present,
He remarked that the studen15 cum-
ing into his school from the snrrouud-
ing schools were well grounded in
art thmeti0.
The election of officers for next
Year took plane on Friday morning :

A. Delegate, Miss Draper, B. S. Scott
merle a m0ton 10 W'elOOnle bank the
teachers who had Been service over-
seas, This was heartily endorsed,
An interesting part of the program
was the drills and games of the kinder-
garten and primary pupils. 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. Mr. Fowler spoke
on the possibilities of the profession
from a moral standpoint and the
training of students to take their place
as citizens of this great country. The
following resolutions were heartily en-
dorsed
1 -That the thanks of the Teachers'
institute be extended to the town of
Seaforth for the welcome extended to
them.
11 -That the East Huron Teachers
wish to e0pree5 their appreciation of
the work of the pupils and their
teachers in their drills, songs and
games, that were rendered in en credi-
!ably th. manner,
111 -That the thanks of the Aseocia-
tion be extended to Prof, Horning for
his excellent address and to all others
who se ably contributed to the enter.
tainment.
IV -That this Association place it-
self on record as being in favor either
by union or otherwise of supporting
the scheme of bringing teachers'
salary in more conformity with the
value of thwort[, -
V-Thateir the thanks of the Associa-
tion be extended to Mr. Stothors for
his helpful suggestions' and for the in-
terest he has 5h0\v1n in connection
