Minutes of the 43rd Annual Meeting
of the West Huron Teachers' Asso-
ciation Held in Victoria School,
Goderich, Oct. 14th and 15th. 1920.
Thursday Forenoon
The president,- Miss Jean Murray
of Exeter; occupied the chair,
The opening exereies were con-
ducted by Mr. Jas. S. Delgaty,
The minutes of the last session of
the last convention held in Exeter,
Oct. 9th, and 10th, 1919, were read .
and approved.
The president thanked the Associa-
tion for hoe election as presiding offi-
cer and asked for the hearty co-oper-
ation of all, it order to make this
a successful convention,
Mr, J. Elgin Tom introduced the
subject of Grammar and C=omposition
for Entrance and Graduation Exam-
inations, deploring the lack of knowl-
edge of these, subjects on the part of
many candidates. He commended the
use of the new Composition Book and
the teaching ng of the parts of speech,
punctuation marks, etc., in the Jun-
ior Classes. •
The discussion was continued by
¥essrs. E. Ross, who also epeeially
commended • the new Composition
%look, J. S. Delgaty, who commended
blackboard teaching.
Mr. W. McKay took up history and
Geography for the same examiner -
tions. As an examiner of the papers
in these subjects he found that many
candidates weren't well trained in the
knowledge of Wraps, and in the intel-
ligent reading of -questions. The re-
mainder of the questions were very
well answered, In history the great
est number of mistakes were made in
the confusion of one man or event
with another. He tliottght too match
was required of Entrance Classes.
Examinations in history are now bas-
ed 011 all of the Canadian and Brit-
ish History,
The ' discussion wee continued by
Messrs, •Ross, Tom,' Delgaty, and
Johnston and Misses Sharman .and
Murray. Miss Sharman thought
teachers should understand what
would be accepted as a perfect answer
to many questions in history and
Geography.
Miss Jean Ready read an able
Paper on Literature, in which she
claimed that to slake . a success of.
teaching it we most aim .to secure a
deep love and appreciation for good
literature. The lesson to be taught
must be thoroughly studied, Litera-
ture has an elevhting effect on the
character of the pupils. She illus-
trated her manner of teaching the
sulljcct by taking the lesson The Mus-
ical Instrument from the High School
Reacher. .
Inspector Tont, in the discussion of
Arithmetic, strongly recommended
the careful training of pupils in ra-
pid addition, the multiplication tables,
the learning of the compound roles,
giving easy questions at first, etc. In
teaching Spelling he would have the
prontanciation taught first.
Thursday .Afternoon
Mr, R, R, Redmond, of Belgrave,
introduced the subject of Music in
our schools. IIe explained how he
first rented a piano for use 'in .his
school, . and when he Clem-
onatrated to the sectio/1 the
advantages of: a piano his trustees
paid the rent. Soon .he and his pupils,
by ittoans of a concert, provided the

ACr, W, II, Johnston introduced The
Federation of Teachers, giving the
history of the movement that has re-
sulted In three organizations, vis.,
The Wemen Teachers' Fed'erattion
The high School Teachers' and lastly
the'Public School Mesa Teachers' Fed-
eration. He also explained what had
been clone in the e001010g on of the
salaries campaign of the past two
years. This was followed by ,one of.
the liveliest discussions we' have had
for some years, during which grati-
tude was expressed for .the liberal.
way in which many "'hoards of trus
tees had increased their teachers'
salaries, even though there are many
teachers still who arelIs't receiving as
much as common laborers with no ed-
ucation. Fear was expresser? that was
less salaries were increased there
would be Iarge desertions from the
teachers' ranks to other walks of life,
thus giving our -schools into the care
of immature and untrained boys and
girls as is now done in many of the.
Unitech States. During the past year
the Ontario government gave a spec-
ial grant of 5400,000 to encourage
trustee boards• to pay better salaries.
It was apportioned on the ;following
basis:
To school sections whose assess-
ments are $1.00,000 but less than
5800000, there is no grant on a sal-
ary.less than $700, but when the sal-
ary is at least 5700 the following
percentages are paid on all above
$500: 5 ser cent. ori a salary of $700
but less than $500. 10 per cent. on a
salary,of Si300 but less than $1700, 20
per cont. on a salary of $900 but less
than 51000, 40 per cent on a salary of
$1000; and over. This is for princi-
pal's salaries.
For thd present year, September,
1920, to Moe 80th, 1921, the Minister
of Education says: "The basis for
apportioning this grant next year will
probably he sunilar to that used in
making the distribution for the cur-
rent year; although it is possible that
it may be necessary to slightly modf-
ly the present scale," He also ,says:
"It 14 without doubt in the interests
of the trustees ' both fin-'
aneiully anti edueationelly, to
see that the teachers re-
ceive, at least, the salaries in the ear-
IOUs groups upon which the highest
precenteges are paid." Such en 0X,
pression of opinion is encouraging to
trustees and teaeluors,

'Inspector 3, E. Tom presided.,
Miss Jean Murray delivered the
•president's address, taking for her
theme OppOrtunitios Or Service.
Mr, Daviclspn gave a splendid lllu-
etr4ted lecture on Great Painters, An-
cient and ,Moclern. Commencing with
Egyptian Art he explained that it
was not realistic: but symbolic to a
great, extent. A great ?lumber of
slides were shown of the works of
the painters of the nth and 17th Cen-
turies, Raphael,. Titian, Leonardo da
Vinci,- Michael Angelo, Rembrandt,
Rubens, Velasques and Paul Veronese,
These Mr. Davidson said were the
greatest sinters of all times, and sus
parlor to those of the present day,
but it was a• mistake to suppose that
all the old painters excelled those of
our own times. There -were shown
1041117 of the pictures of more modern
times—chiefly those by the great por-
'tirait painters, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
of the 18th century, Romney Gains-
borough, all perhaps .unequalled in
.that line Then the artists of the
19th century. Turner the great land-
scape and marine painter; Meisonie2/
the noted Frenchman; Alma Tade0ia,
the historical painter remarkable for
his =realistic painting of marble.
To stake the lecture more interest-
ing architecture representative of
the various artists was exhibited at
the same time as these paintings --A
temple at Thebes in Egypt the Pan-
theon and St. Peters at Rome, Toledo
Cather:al and the Alhambia inn Spain,
The Cathedral of Florence, Chartres
Cathedral in /Prance. `
The following contributed very ma-
terially to the success of the even-
ing's entertairunent in song and mu-
sic: The male quartette, Rev. Mr.
Moyer, Messrs, W. Pridham, Jas.
Thomson - and C. Robertson; Mrs.
Frank Saunders, Miss Belcher and
Mrs. Miller.
Mr. Delgaty moved a vote of thanks
to those who contributed to the ev-
ening's enertainment, 'which was
heartily endorsed by the audience.
