Association Meet in Goderich
The forty-ninth annual convention
t)f West Huron Teachers was held at
Codeeich, October lith an& 15th.
Ono ,hundred and thirty -eve teach-
ers were present, Inspector Tom,
the president, occupied the chair.
Rev. Mr. Clarke, of North Setreet
'United Church, conducted the open-
ing PXOreises,
aim minutes of last year's final
seeeion were read and confirmed.
Owing to the removal of Auditor,
Mr, 14. Cranson from the inspeetorate
Mr. M. C. Milliken was appointed.
The first paper was taken by Miss
Ella Sowberry, of Westfield, on
"Time Table Economy For Rural
Schools." ,A well arranged and care-
fully followed time table proves a
great time saver for the buy tear.h.
or. Combining, classoo, where at all
possible, and especially .the Junior
and Senior sections of the same
grades economizes time. Again in
rural schools arranging the subjects
in such 0 way that the Junior classes
are busy while the thaeher'e, assist-
ance is being given to the Senior pup-
ils and vice verse. Inspector Tom
etressed the combining of classes for
certain subjects.
Miss Grace Lochart, of S. S. 12
West Wawano h, introduced the
subject of "I !,:i2k Board Work."
This should be a model of neatnese,
not only because it tells for the teach-
er, but serves as an example to the
Pupils. "Like teacher, like pupils."
Borders and decorative designs
should be on the blackboard and
these changed as the seasons come
and go. Review work, oatline of
maps, spelling lessons, etc., should be
placed on the blackboard. Fall boards
tell for a busy teacher. All writing
placed thereon should show correctly
formed letters with all the "i's" dot -
td, "t's" crossed, etc. The paper was
well received.
Inspector Tom threw out some
splendid hints regarding the full solu-
tions of problems in arithmetic, in-
stead of a collection of meaningless
figures.
The subject of spelling for second
classes was next taken by Mise M.
Ellis, of Hensall. This subject
should be built upon the "Phonic"
method and certain rules should be
given as are to be found in the text
book. Frequent views of words
already learned should be taken and
in every instance the pupila should
be able to pronounce and know the
meaning of the words before at-
tempting to spell them. Errors
should be , kept by the pupils and
these should be reviewed frequently.
Spelling matches, both oral and
written, creates a. desire to excel.
The paper was full of interest and
profit.
The matter of the teachers' lib-
rary, which is at present in Exeter
school, was then discussed. These
books, though valuable to the
teachers, are not being read. To
make it more convenient for the
teachers to get them it was decided
to leave them in lots at each nublic
library in the inspectorate and have
them moved in cycle order front
tine to time.
The fee for joining the association
was lowered from fil'ty cents to
twenty-five cents end teach.er
was given a reduction of fifty cents
on all "Teachers' lalagazinee" sub-
scribed for, no one to receive more
than two reductions to the amount
of one dollar.
Mr, George Mawson, of Exeter,
then discussed the changes in the
1926 Course of Study and showed by
comptuison with the old, that, in
some instances the amount of work
is materially lessemed in eertain
grades, while in others more has
been added end especially is this
noticeable in tin supplemental read-
ing.. Each subject on the course was
taken and thealterationseeteted,
The entrance examination papers
of 1926 were discused by -the par-
ties who examined the same and sug,
gpstions were thrown out wharehy
iehprovements might, be made, in the
answees, both as to qualltY and
Method. Mr. J. Fe Tom took arith•
metic aed spelling, and Mr, 0, S.
Howard, grammar, history, and Mee.
ature, If all 'teachers followed the
suggestions given, next erne8 pap,
ors will be easier marked.
Aftemoon Session
The minutes of the morning session
woe read and confirmed.
Inspector Tom spoke on "Reports."
He strongly urged, as in Ammo.'
years, the necessity of teachers beieg
prompt and accurate with all reports
to hint, as he has to be with ale to the
departfen 1.
Me. 0. W. Hoffeed, M. A., oe Lori-
dOn Hormel, an old Huron eby, took
nle the subject "The Dalton Plan of
Teaching" Introduced by Mies Hoke
Pankhurst, of Dalton, Mass,, and has
so increased in favor that et is now
being used in America and EOM°.
Tho -differenee beteg:en the teaching

Mr. McKay, of Hensel!, took lie
chair during the Round Taele Con-
ference and led in diseuseing the mer-
it and defeat; of' our preeept text
bootee. An interesting 3 een,i )/1 WAS

tee subject of the use of the Watery
Readers with third classee. These
should be road in class and the sub-
ject matter used as material for com-
poeition.
On Thursday evening the temiters
were entertained at a banquet given
by the Home and &hoot Club in
North Street United Church. This
indeed, was a treat to the teaehers
and broke the monotony of Ht . day
sessions. Toasts were propoe.d to
"Our Country," "The Superannuated
Teachers," ntio Local Clergy" end
"The School and Home Club.' The
music, vocal and instrumental, was
furniehed by local talent and the ad-
dresses given were of a high order.
Mr. J. E. Tom acted as toast master.
Friday Forenoon
The opening exercises were taken
by Mr. MacKay. After reading of
the minutes of the previous sesison,
the election of officers followed re:-
Rutting as follows: President, Miss
M. A. Ellie, Hensall; Vice-Preeident,
Mr. P. B. Mogat, Dashwood; See'y-
Treas., G. S. Howard, Exeter; Mist
L. McCullough, Winchelsea; Auditors
Mr.- D. McRae, Miss A. Geiser; resolu-

gins; Delegates to 0. E. A., Mr. P. 13.
Moffat. The auditors' report Awed
a good balance to the credit of the
association.
Mies Grace Hamelton, of Goderich,
gave a paper on Primary Reading.
In this the phonic method should be
used and frequent drills in word and
sentence building taken from the
tablets and on the black board.
Miss Lulu Fulton, of Exeter, fol-
lowed with "Seatrvork for Primary
Pupils." She suggested frequent
changes of work and a new device
each day. The building of pictures
and work in numbers iurnishes
splendid material.
. Miss Margaret Grieve, of S. S. No,
7, Stanley, took Arithmetic for the
same grade. She would use zoncrate
material such as buttons, blocks,
tooth picks, etc., to teach number
work. The pupils should use the B
13 and daily drills, as reviews should
be taken. Flashecards of numbers
as: 3x3—?, 3-1—?, 2x2—?, 6 &rifl-
ed by prove helpful, l'he sub-
ject was further discussed by Inepec-
tor Tom who spoke of some methods
—good and poor—seen in hie tours
of inspection.
Mr. Hofferd, M.A., took his second
subject "The New Achievement
Tests." In this he showed the differ-
ence of marking papers. Some tea-
chers mark too lenietly, while others
es
too severely. Teachshould not
guess. This system requires great
care in marking aud by it the scoring
or marking is easily and quickly
done. The R. W. S. formula is 116-
ually appliedin scoring. The speak-
er applied the tests as follows: 1. Re•
call Type, (a) Bleed Answer Test;
(b) Completion Test; (c) Enumera-
tion Test. 2, Recognition Type (a)
True and False Test; (b) Multiple
Choice Test; (c) Association Test;
(d) Best Answer Test. Teachers de-
siring full description of this topic
will nd it fully -discussed In the Janu-
ary, February and March numbee8
of the, School, 1926. The New Mt-
ievement Pests are found to be more
reliable, more objective, more com-
prehensive and more economical of
time and labol? than the essay type

be Done With the Backward Pupil,"
is a question being looked int a by Dr.
Silcox. The soluteon of the problent
is to fit such pupils that they may
earn their own way. A standard test
is used in such cases in the class,

FORCING BULBS
The forcing of bulbs in the house

unless a good root system is made be -
one tries to force moet of the
bulbs, the bloom will not be satis-

be obtained quite satisfactory results
may - be obtained froin coarse sand.
A soil that does not bake is desir-
able. For hyacinths, -tulips and daf-
fodils pails of five or six inch pots
are most satisfactory. Three tulip
and daffodil bulbs do well in a five
er 0177. ineh pot, and one or more
hyacinth bulbs per pot are used. de-
pending on the eize of the pot. When
Planted in pans six or more tulip
bulbs are used. Provide drainage for
pot by putting. 0 piece or pieces et.
broken pot„ coal clinkers, or charcoal
in the bottom, fill the pot with soil
and shake it down by knockin,7 the
pot against something. Do not press
down the sell to accomplish this, as
it will be too firm and tho bulb will
lift out when it begins to root.. After
jarring the soil, place the bulb on the
O surface and press down until the up-
- per side of the bulb is level with the
surface, then make the soil firm ar-
ound the bulb with the lingers to
prevent it lifting. After planting,
there should be not less than three
I fourths of an inch space between the
surface of the soil and the top cf
• the pot, as, if there is less, it will be
difficult to give enough water. The
pots shonld now • be put in a cool
. part of tho. cellar, but where the soil
W111 not he frozen. Water thoroughly
and see that the soil is kept moist
I until the bulbs are well rooted, which
will be in six weeks or more, and 00-
0 11 they are forced. If the soil be-
comes dry the roots will be injured
and they will not force well. Frees-
ias and Chinese Sacred Lily do net
require to be well rooted before forc-
ing. One should not try to force
1 tulips before January even though
1 they show growth above the soil, as,
11 even if well rooted, they wlll not
force satisfactorily before this,
e Some good, inexpensive varieties
. for forcing are: -

nia, La Grandesse, Enchantress, Gen-

intakes of a good figure must be

type and race, she says, adding that
in the Anglo -Maxim race some pro,
portions have been so metal that they
have beetnne the accepted standard.
"Circumference of wrist should be
half the circumference of the neck,"
says Dr. Alsop.
"The circumference of the neck
should he a little less than half the
circumference of the waist.
"The length from tho tip of the
middle finger, both arum held hori-
zontal at the sides, to the tip of the

crease of weight.
Certain limits to perfection are se.t

those lignite are proving strangely
malleable. The biblical cubit of

of the college girls of the Eastern
States during the past twenty years

sistence upon athletics and green
vegetables. Though the question of
height is usually determined both by
the heredity and the environment

That may be quite true.But it is
only the perfect environment and the
perfect hygiene that permit the in-

her sowing basket, and, moreover, it
yields to treatment. A patient of
mine who had been forced to in-
activity by a three months' illness,
got up from her bed with preponder-
ance in favor of abdominal measure-
ment of six inches. After three
months of after cure, eonsisting of
gradually becreasing exercise, chest
and abdominal measurements were
the same. At both thnee the body
weight was perfect, It took'another
year of consistent exercise to add the
favor of three inches to the chest
measurement, During this time, a
little over a year, the patient, from
being a weak, easily tired convales-

STARS ARE DETERMINED
Dominion Astrophysical Obeerva.
tory at Victoria, B. C., Co.oper•
ates With Other Observatories in
This Work
That the stars differ 'ft their
!won1 brightness is self-evident. A
thougluful person might 1411 0114'
that thie is due either to .1 difference
in their - pow me or to
their • being eituated at different die -1
tames from 11A. As 70 matter of
feet both are contributory causee
and it is only when we know the
dietance of a particular star that
WI' can have an idea of its real lum-
inosity. .
The distances of the iiemeer :dere
are determined by a proceee of tri-
angulation somewhat similar to tint
whigh the surveyor uses to obtain
the distant, of an inaeceeeible
mountain peak. Naturally, the base
line most be enormously longer
than any used upon the earth and
the one that bests serves the Pur -
900e is the diameter of theearth-s
orbit about the sun. The small rel-
ative ehiftings in the positions of
the stars as photographed front each
end of this 186,000,000411110 base
give us data from which to compute
their distances.
Through the co-operation of half
a dozen observatories in Europe and
America the distances of several
hundred of the nearer stare had
been determined by this triangula-
tion rnethod before the war and
this number has been materially in-
creased since. Knowing, there their
distances and their apparent bright-
ness, their real or absolute luminos-
ities are easily computed. It has
been found that there is a great dis-
parity amongst them, probably a
million -fold being not an extreme
main. Our own star, the elm, 145 0
100. times brighter than some that
are reached by our telescopes, is
neverethlese outshone 10,000 -fold by
others which are designated "giant"
stars.
An examination of the spectre
or analysed light of these stars of
different real luminosities revealed
peculiarities by which it was possi-
ble to reverse the process and pre-
dict the corresponding real bright-
ness. That is to say, if we were to
secure the spectrum of a star that
was unknown we could, from these
tell-tale peculiarities, determine the
absolute brightness of that particu-
lar star. It es then a simple cake-
lation to find out how far away a
star of such known brightness must
be to appear of the brightness we
see it in the sky.
It is in the search for these tell-
tale peculiarities in the spectrum
that the Dominion Astrophysical Ob-
servatory, Department of the Inter-
ior, at Victoria, British Colunibia,
has taken a leading part among the
observatories of the world. Many
new lines in the spectrum have been
found which are specially sensitive
in this regard and the added mater-
ial has greatly improved the accur-
acy of the method. A list of over
1,100 stars the distances of which
have been thus determined has been
issued as a publication of the ob-
servatory.
The distances cannot be quoted in
miles but a popular standard of
measurement is the "light-year"
whith is simply the distance light
will travel in a year at its rate of
186,000 miles per second. At this
rate light reaches us from the sun
in eight and one-third minutes yet
the distance of the nearest of the
fixed stars is such that light requires
:four and one-half years to traverae
the distance and consequently WO
:lay it is 4 ert light-years &stunt.
Another relatively close star is Sir-
ius, the bright star of the winter
skies, distant 9 light-years. This
investigation places Arcturus and
Polaris, stars used a great cleat by
surveyors, at distances of 41 and
406 light-years respectively, whilst
the double star Beta Cygni, at the
foot of the Northern Cross, is near-
ly 1,100 light-years distant. More-
over it is found that the state do
not extend to equal distanees .41 all
directions; they extend to inuelt
greater distances in the direction of
the Milky Way than they do at
right angles to that plane, The stele
tar universe is thus not spherical
but rather (flee -like in form with the
long diameter about ten timee tho
shorter.
The main value of such 0050110(5-
e0 is in tide determination of the
form and structure of the universe
—the problem tome& the solution
of which practically all .tistronomieal
investigation tends, When results

the nearer stars arid neceseity drove
astronomers to erede 4010 other
method of attacking the preblenn.
The newer method adopted at and
enlarged upon at Victor!' has the
:decided advantage that it ie usuble
no matter how infinitely remote the
star may be, provided only it is
bright enough for its spectrum to be
secured. The great light gathering
power of modern telescopes makes
it possible to secure the spectra of
extremely faint stars. •
A by-product of the work has
been the aid rendered the physicist
in his study of the atom. When the
astronomer found that certain spec-
tral lines were particularly intenee
in intrinsically bright stars the phy-
sicist was. led to seek the reason fpr
the same and the facts marshalled
by the astronomer from the high
temperature stars have aided mater-
ially in elucidating the structur,. of
the atom.
