East Huron Teachers diversified but all agreed that phy steal training was very beneficial Mr. Wallace who should have been on the program with Mr. Posliff, dwelt more particularly on the benefits of physical training going into the teaching of the work very minutely, with reference to health, the proper position in school and the developement of the body. It wag then moved tby G. W. Holman, seconded by J. H. Thom:p son, that this Association make a contribution to the Patriotic Fund.' the amod.it and manner of the con tribution to be settled later. Mo- tion was adopted. The : matter of the Patriotic Fund contribution was taken up and it was moved by B. S. Scott, seconded by C. H. Hol land, that a committee of two la- dies and two gentlemen be ap- pointed to receive voluntary con- tributions. The motion was adopt ed. Association then adjourned for noon. Afternoon Session. On re -assembling at 1.45, Miss Jennie Grant, Clinton, was called on and gave a very interesting and instructive address on "The Teachers' Agricultural Conference at Guelph." in August last. The great problem as to what to teach to stop the great townward migra tion of pupils was the great prob- lem requiring solution. One - of these was the proper teaching. of Agriculture in the schools. Den- mark and Holland were cited as the best eitamples of the work done in this direction. There folk and High Schools do this work in every school district. Great ef- fortsare made there to teach pat- riotism as well, This is an age of progress and there must be greater effort to train along prac- tical lines, to teach breadth of thought and high ideals. Practical farming can not be taught but the pupil can be trained to experiment is such as School gardening, home gardening or clubs. Begin with home gardening by preparing in the Fall, read agricultural books, make school room attractive and also the school premises. Children should be taught to play games that develop the qualities of square dealing in the playground. The subject was further enlarg- ed upon by Miss Ida Frain, who spoke more particularly of her own experience in school garden work and outlined the work done inthat line. Miss Frain exhibited very in- teresting drawings and composi- tions on the work, Home garden- ing work of the season was brought to a conclusion by an exhibition in the schools, with short accounts by the pupils of the season's work. By getting pupils to draw the vege- tables, etc., grown, added much to the interest in the work; The work in general helped to develop a bet- ter feeling between the teacher and parents. Subject was further discussed by Messrs. Thompson, Holland, Shit linglaw and Fowler. The general opinion prevailing was that school gardens would increase the inter- est of the pupils and also increase the interest of the ratepayers. Dr. Field emphasized the importance o1 paying more attention to keep- ing the school grounds free of weeds and in other ways making the school premises more attrac- tive J. M. McCutcheon B. A. of Strat- ford Normal School was introduc- ed and discussed "Reading in Public Schools." The child must be able to appropriate to himself the thought of the author. Thought expression is the main •thing to be attained, When the thinking; is clear and logical the expression will be clear and logical Bright material is necessary to intelligent reading. The child shoulu see in thought all he under takes to convey in audible reading The child should feel as well as see the thought. Most failure in reading is owing to a failure in this. •Teachers should try to im- plant the desire to read. The most difficult part of the teacher is to adopt a good plan of correc- tion andcriticism, mechanical teaching of inflection will bring, failure, get the motive or meaning and inflection will take care of it- self, awaken the imagination and the emotional quality will be -'t"he result.

Thought consciousness should be the object of teaching reading was the message Mr, 11c- Cutchean very strongly impressed in his able address. The subject was further discuss- ed by several of the teachers! Miss' Messer, of Bluevale, gave an excel- lent paper on the important sub- bject, "The Rural Problem." Re - rel. School education lackedbeing` helpful in making, rural life attrac- tive. A knowledge of Agriculture would help to form a co -partner- ship between the school and the farm. Teach children to love and appreciate the rural beauty about them it will bring fathers and • mothers back to the school again in their school interest for the children's work. School hou'les and grounds are not in keeping• with their needs. Barreness of sot ial life is the cause of loss of rural population. Co-operation of the people in social dubs are of great. benefit. From poultry clubs pro- gress clubs, literary clubs all have their beneficial results, Make 'soc- ial centres of the school houses Get the people together and make the school ground the beauty spot of the neighborhood. Have field days for rural schools. Mr. Posliff thought the teacher should be an important factor in the life of every school section. He strongly approved of the idea of a "Field Day' in every school. Mr. Bouck and Dr. Field further dis- cussed this paper. The Association then adjourned to the Public school when Miss Mc- Pherson and Miss Buchanan gave excellent lessons to classes the former on "Participles nand Ge- runds," the latter Junior Ouse work. The Association then adjourned to meet at 9 Friday morning. Thursday Evening. An excellent entertainment was given in the Town Hall. W, Gordon Craig, of Toronto, gave his cele- brated presentation of "Macbeth"' which was very highly ,appreciated J. M. McCutcheon, B. A., gave • an excellent and instructive address on "The Trend of Education and an excellent program of solos and in strumental music was also render ed by Misses Jones and Sinclair Mrs. Howson and F. H. Gilroy. Mr. Shillinglaw occupied the chair and preformed the duties 'very accept- ably. Friday Forenoon The. Association met at 9.30 a. m. the President in the chair. Min- utes of the previous day were read and the Financial statement pre- sented for the past year both of which were 'adopted. Election of officers was then pro- ceeded with and resulted as fol- lows ;-President, A. L. Posliff ; tat Vice -Pres., G. H. Jefferson ; 2nd. Vice -Pres., Miss Rands; Sec.-Treas. G. W. Holman Executive Commit- tee, Messrs. Horton and Fowler, Misses McKay, McGregor and M Scott, Auditors Mears, Shillinglaw and A. Scott. Moved by Dr. Field, seconded by G. Vii. Holman, that we send a dele- gate to the O.E. A. and that 810 be appropriated toward his ex- penses. The motion was adopted and Norman Geddes was appoint ed as delegate. Seaforth was appointed as the next place for Convention. Geo. H. Jefferson was called on and read an excellent paper on "Geography by observation." Ge- ography taught by memorizing 'a lot of disconnected names and facts was of little use. Make every possible use of outdoor work. Nature Study and Geography should be treated together. In primary work get the child to use his eyes to good purpose, watch- ing the sun, it effects on the snow etc., the phases bf the moon the clouds etc, Weather records can be ultized. Teach definition by use of models, railways, steamboats, should form interesting subjects drawing plans and making meas- urements. Teach local industries and inches of rainfall may be ob- served. Manyof the teachers took part in the discussion of this interest- ing and instructive paper Next item on the program was the Pres ident's address. Mr. Shillingia-o tm,kirritis subject "Rural Ist Fop elation." This subject having been very fully discussed in previous nal pers. Mr. Shillinglaw curtailed his remarks, Depopulation :is not confined to the poorer districts but some of the richer and better rur- al communities afforded the 'best examples of this so-called evil. Some of the causes leading to the stateof affairs were the indepen- dence of young menand women; a desire to do something for them selves; seeing other boys from the city spending their owp money fathers don't often give boys any direct interest in the farm or its proceeds. Some farmers dont want their boys to stay on the farm, ra- ther than give a farm to the boy it is cheaper to give him an educa- tion. Glowing newspaper news as to au great success of those ' who migrate argil the too often rep eqs- i in of thy, -sews of those who fat: The education department seemed very desirous of remedying these things and hence encouraging , of teaching Agriculture and teaching teachers. at the O. A. C. but the ap pointment of a supervisor in each district was a better method. In further discussion of this subject Messrs. Thompson and Horton thought the great cause .was the movement of our people to the West. "Drawing" by Miss Myrtle Spence was the next on the program. Miss Spence went fully into the topic giving her methods and exhibited many excellent specimens of char- coal shading work and book -cover designing. The committee to receive funds of the Patriotic contribution were named as follows ;-Misses Reyn- olds and Ashton, Messrs. , Bryans nd Henderson, H. E. Ricker, M. A. Principal of Wingham High School was called on and discussed "Heredity in plants and;animals." Great import ance attaches to invironment but in plants and animals heredity was ,of first importance. This paper was of a very high order and the effect of heredity in animals and the human family was thoroughly gone into as to peculiarities appear antes, nature, intelligence and A striking other quality. illustration was drawn of the bio- logical effect of wars on h m an be- ing in family waspreyed.in past wa s The same laws of development were illustrated byreference to ra `plant life. 0 Association then he adjourned to a 1 meet at 1 p. m. _ Digestive Disorders Yield When the right help is sought at the right time.

At 1 p. m. in the afternoon. Dr. Field was called on to address the teachers on "Caeadain Poetry" and by way of introduction gave a short talk on general matters pertaining to the the teacher's work. Teach- ers ought do make a practice of reading or mastering some partic ular works or useful books. The poets, Wilfred Campbell, Ropiest - son. Carman Lampman and Drum mond were all spoken very highly. of, In speaking of matters per- taining to the teachers duties em- phasis was put on the proper filling of the Registers and Annual Re- ports. All the blanks should be filled. The number of changes in the inspectorate was given as only fifteen this past term which was. considered tow and a very encour- aging sign. 3.111. McCutcheon B. A., was call edupon and discussed "Literature in Public schools." The child should have every opportunity for silent readingto develop the think ing -process oral reading must not predominate in the primary. grades Teachers should change their meth od of so much' oral reading and per mit the child to develop silent thought teaching that does not make the child a discoverer not thought builder is faulty, teacher must get into the right attitude toward the subject of developing if possible a sympathy for the sub- ject. Literature immortalize all that is beautiful in world. It touches the margin of every human interest. Read Literature so the spirit of the drama may effect the whole life was the ideals of Greeks and Romans preserved aLiterature that gave their value. It lifts the mind above all petty interests. In life literatuee can get no hold on the heart unless it appeals to the sympathy, it aids to enjoy good lan guage the best thing to tido is to pro- vide the child noble enjoyment in reading. To love good books for their own sake is enjoyment only so far as literature delights it is worthy not so much what a child knows as what he loves. A love literature touches the springs of conduct, it impresses . its heroes upon the child. Teaching litera- ture little attention should be given to the mechanical structure but the meaning, •' its ideals its thought. Too much intellectual analysis tend to dull the mind in stead of stimulating an apppreciat- study of the thoughts and feelings of the author better than the beauty of the structure. C. D. Bouck expressed his high ap predation of Mr. McCutcheon'a in- spiring address. A hearty vote of thanks expressing. the apprecia- tion of Mr, McCutcheon's addresses was duly carried with applause, Andrew Scott was called upon to take up the subject of "Arithmetic in Public Schools." Mr. Scott dis cussed the subject under two heads of what should be taught and how to teach it. The child must get all the combinations of a number be - before he can understand it, Give the child a variety not so much re peating. , Mr. Scott then gave illustrations on the board of his methods of teaching the element- ary work. lement-arywork. It was waste of time to allow pupils to put down the car- ried number and an injury to mem ory, It is a waste of time solving large complex problems let the the child do the work of measur- ing rooms, woodpiles, piles of lum ber, spending time on things of no practical value was of little value. Insist upon all work being put down neatly and don't accept Slip- shod work This paper was furth- er discussed by Mr. Horton, Dr. Field and Mr. Po,elift. "The effect of the European em- broglio upon our Educational out. look and ideals" was the next sub- ject and was taken by B. S. Scott, Principal of Brussels Public School Mr. Scott urged the teachers to think upon the subject as to the effect upon the future of our cit- izenship and as the time was limit ed .Mr. Scott contented himself with a brief address, and in conclus ion thanked. the teachers for com- ing to Brussels.
