The Convention of the tcachers 01 this inspectorate was held this year in the Tows klall, Seeforth, Oztober 9th and 10th. It was an excellent meeting and well attended, there be- ing one hundred and eight teachers present. The opening exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. Larkin. Mayor Harburn then gave an address of welcome, in which he expressed him- ' self as well pleased to extend the freedom of the town to the teachers of the Inspectorate, The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopt- ed. The subject of writing was taken up by Mr, Bouck. The writing of schools in most cases should be improved. Numerous examples of hand writing were passed about the room, The next subject was that of A Practical Education, which was dealt with by Mr. Posliff, of Wingham. This was a good address, full of ideas valuable to the teachers of future Canadian citizens. Miss McKinnon gave a paper op the use of paper and scissors in the school room. She showed that this was excellent study for, junior pupils and very beneficial for the studies that conte atter. Lhildren in this way can be taught many useful studies. A very instructive address was given by Mr. S. B. Stothers on school fairs.. He warned the teachers regarding the placing of exhibits. Children should have more instruction regarding their exhibits. His address was much appreciated. The discus- sion was carried on by Messrs. Bouck, Hoover and Fowler. The meeting of the day was concluded by the presi- dent's address by Mr. George Jeffer- son, The entertainment in the town hall was a decided success. Excellent solos were rendered by Messrs. Israel and Sills, and instrumentals by Messrs, VanEgmond and Stewart. The lecture by Prof. Horning wasvery much ap- preciated, The drill by the girls and the chorus by the boys was certainly worthy of the applause of the audience Too great praise cannot be given to the instructors, Miss Habkirk and Mr. James Robb. Mr. Ross' paper —A very practical paper on arithmetic 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 students corning in- to his school from, the surrounding schools were well grounded in • arith- metic. The election of officers for next year took place on Friday morning: Pres- ident, Robert Beattie, Vice -President, Miss Thompson; Secretary, Lieut. R. H. Hoover; Librarian, Dr. Field; Ex- ecutive Committee, Miss Stinson, Miss Reintall, Miss Cornish; Staff of Wing - ham School, Auditors, Miss Campbell and Miss ss Hays; O. E. A.

M. Govenlock, the Liberal Candidate for Centre Huron ing part of the programme was the drills and games of the kindergarten and primary pupils. Miss McLean and Miss Woods deserved the ap- plause of the audience for the excel- lent showing made by the pupils. Dr. Field gave an interesting talk on consolidated schools. He thinks there are some centres where it would work out well, while other places where ' new schools are built, it would not db for sometime. The little country school has turned out a tine type of citizen but It seetns 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 surroundags, then the township, county, etc., I Miss fstclver's paper on stimulating ' pupils to work was certainly good advice to those 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, in- teresting the teachers from start to finish. No teacher there had anything but praise for the excellent way in which he handled his poetry selec- tions, His pgrinciples of teaching are so broad tf'at they include all the best that is in the work. The subject of teacber's ca norms wastaken up by Dr. Field and F. L Fowler, The salaries of teachers are increasing gradually year by year. During the last year very few teachers in the inspectorate were receiving as low as 8000 w ht leman� were getting 8800 and 900. Mr. Fowlerspoke on the of the profession from a moral standpoint and the trashing of students to take their place as citi- zens of this great country, The fol- lowing resolutions were heartily en- dorsed: 1—That the thanks of the Teacher's Institute be extended to the town of. Seaforth for the welcome extended to them. . 11—That the East Huron Teachers wish to express their appreciation of the work of the pupils and their teach- ers in their drills, songs and games; that were rendered is so creditably a scanner. IIi—That the thanks of the Associa- tion be extended to Prof. Horning for his excellent address and to all others who so 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 tate scheme of bringing teacher's salaries more is conformity with the value of their work. V—Thai the thanks of the Associa- tion be extended to Mr. Stothers for his helpful suggestions and for the iuterest he has shown in connection with the conduct of school fairs. VI—That this Association cordially indorses the approaching Victory Loan and hereby express themselves as will- ing to do what they can to bring home fo children and parents the vital ne- cessity of the Loan, that although our boys in France purchased a priceless gift for us and ours, it Is not yet paid for nor is 'our obligation to them fully ncet, The sheeting adjourned to be held next year in Wingham.

Meeting of the West Huron Teach- ers' Association held in the High School, Exeter, October the 9th and 10th.Minutes of the Forty-SecondAnnual The President, Mr. R. R. Red- mond, occupied the chair. Devotional exercises were conducted by Inspect- or Toni. Minutes of the last session of the last convention held in Goderich, October 10th and 11th, 19t5 were read and approved, Miss Gertrude Sturdy, of Goderich, introduced the subject of Geography for Third classes and •emphasized es- pecially the drawing of .maps in con- nection with the geography lesson. She would take up the schoolroom tire( in beginning the subject and pass on from this to the township, etc. Miss Evelyn Weston, of Centralia, look up the writing in public schools. In an excellent address she explained the way in which she taught the sub ject. Attention should first be given to the position of the pupil while writinig. Cuts in the writing course show these clearly. The four point• on the first page are very important, The teacher should see that al work of the pupil should be neatly done. The best pens, ink and page should be used, The lesson should be about 15 or 20 minutes in length liberal Platform Regi. WEd l taken each day partly at the board and partly in the seats. Beginners should be taught entirely from the board. The writing courses should be j followed. About half an hour is the correct time for a lesson, Inspector Toni commended espec- ially the work done by Miss Weston's pupils. He thought lead pencils should be used instead of pens until the pupils were advanced in writing the pens, should be dull pointed for easy writing. Mr A. Stevenson, B. A. B., Peed., of the London Normal School, dis- cussed the subject of 'Common Errors in the teaching of Grammer, He 'first emphasized the fact that grammer deals with sentences rather than single words. Etmology should be taught by explaining the origin of some familiar words, The speaker then showed there were many defin- itions taught in grammer, that were absolutely untrue. in teachng the sentences he would make them as simple as possible. The address crea- ted considerable interest anda num- ber I, of questions were lucidly answer- ed by the lecturer. Inspector Tom spoke on notes by the way. He explained that in divid- ing the $250,000 voted by the De - 1 partment to assist in raising teach-, er's salaries, those schools that paid salaries 01 $500 to $599 receiv- ed a grant of 5 percent on all above 5500, Sections paying $700 received 20 per cent on $200, 1. e., 540; those paying $Soo received 30 per cent on $300 of a grant of 590. . Thus any school section that pays a salary of $800 or over receives a grant of 30 per cent on all above 5500. One rural school section in West Huron paying a salary .of $1000 re- ceived a, grant , of 5172.50 because 15 per cent was added to all the pre- eeding amounts. Mr. Tom also ex- plained a initialer of matters of in- terest to teachers. One rural section pays their teach- er a salary or $1050 and receive a grant of 5189.75 on the salary paid. (Saturchy's Globe) With the Provincial election a little more than a week in the future, The Globe to -day gives a review of the Liberal platform as adopted at the convention last June. The platform is enunciated in eighteen resolutions, which were carried in most cases un- animously. Each question was con- sidered by a committee of men and women who, had made a study of the particular subject and in the light of what hail been accomplished along similar lines elsewhere, not only in Canada and the other British Domin- ions, but also in England and the United States, On the Liquor • Question The position of the party on the temperance question was set forth in a resolution Introduced by Mr. Wm. Proudfoot, former Liberal Leader, and seconded by Mrs, J. Wesley Bun- dy , President of the Toronto Liberal Association, who is the candidate In. Northeast Toronto, It is: "That the Liberal party of the Province of Ontario, in convention assembled, affirms its attitude in favor of pro- gressive temperance legislation to the fullest extent of the Provincial jurisdiction, and pledges itself to take allnecessary necessary steP s to carry vigs.•rously and effectively into ef- fect the will of the majority of the people as expressed by the said re- ferendum vote." Help For The Hydro The convention went on record as beelieving that the interests of the people of Ontario would be advanced materially by the steadfast resist- ance to any further encroachment of private franchise -holding cor- porations upon the public domain of the Province. The resolution adopt- ed dealine wit h this question of pub- lic ownership Is, briefly, as follows: The reservation of all water powers within the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government for develop- ment, so that the benefits of cheap electric energy may be extended to all parts of Ontario. The construction of a system of Hydro -radial railways throughout the Province wherever conditions warrant expectation of successful operation; also that, there shall be =o -operation with the National Rail- ways so that duplication of service shall he avoided. The elimination of private mono- poly of the telephone service in the chief centres of population and over wide areas of rural Ontario, and the ultimate creation of a Provincial telephone service. Aid For The Soldiers Two resolutions dealing with re- turned soldiers and sailors and their re-establishment then carried. 'These were introduced by Major J. C. '501 mie, M. P. P. fur Windsor. who served three years overseas, Briefly, these pledged the Liberal party to advocate adequate pensions for the wounded and dependent's; equal pension for equal disability, the minimum pension being 510 a month; Insurance for the' enfeebled; provision fur settlement of soldiers on land in Old Ontario; preference in appointments a is h+ f t, Civil Ser- vice; every practical assistance to- ward vocational training and re- estbiishment; to be,icin forwith clearing timber our suitable farth- ing lands in Now Ontario; the em- ployment for this work of only men Continued on Page 5.

'He believed the Library should he carefully cared for by the teacher. Ile should be the librarian The library should be locked, Child- ren should be encouraged to read. A variety of books should be chosen fur the library. Ile believed in holding concerts to make money for invest- ments in libraries, Mr. Stevenson gave a splendid ad- dress on Transportation and Cont. mercial Geography, He held there is great danger of our placing too much stress on the teaching :•bf the prec- 'ical. Geography may be made a liberal study, Experiences that one .:an get without money are worth while. Geographical excursions will 'o•relate geograpl‘e and Nature Study. Human curiosity is infinite, rivers, water stretches, canals, rocks and other things excite wonder and suggest exploration, which can be ut- ilized in training young minds. The teaching Commercial Geography be- gins at hone, The store, the market, varied farms, etc,, suggest many things aloing this line , T he store is a trade centre. Becat}},,ye it is on the corner suggests the ifrigin of cities. in teaching transportation routes followed, Power used and vehicles needed whether by land, water or air can easily be developed from simple beginnings. An exhibit shown 'n connection with the address was a home -male rnap of the United States, with the products of various sections glued to the may in proper position. Another was a wooden model of a lock in a canal. Mr, Stevenson would use many clippings from papers and collect pictures to :rid in This teaching. The address was t very interesting one and presented in a, masterlynxinner. Teaelhers' Salaries was taken np by (Miss Jean Murray, of Exeter, and Mr, Norman Geddes, of t3elgrave, They showed conclusively that tea- chers are inadequately paint, tiheir work is the noblest, they are train- ing youisg• minds for eternity and yet they are not paid as well as many un- educated persons who are in other walks of life.
