A. Naylor of Sea forth presiding. , Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. S. T. Allin of Clinton, who also extended a hearty welcome.to the teachers' and gave a very cordial invit- ation to as many ae wished to partake of the hospitality of his home, ' Dr, Field, 1, P. S., acting secretary- treasurer, ecretarytreasurer, then read the minutes of the meeting of 1912; which were adopted. Mr, Joseph Stalker, the former sec- retary having left the county, it was necessary to make another appoint: went. On motion of Mr. J.G. Shilling law, seconded by Mr. C. 11. Holland, Mr, 7, W, Holman of Egmondville was elected secretary -treasurer and press reporter. , rhe following appointments were then made• -Auditors, Messrs. Shilling law and H, Horton; Resolution com- mittee. Misses Reynolds, McGregor and Sherrif and Messrs. Shillinglaw and Holland. , "School Management" was the first paper on the program and was ably presented by Mr. Shillinglaw, who discussed the subject under two heads; "The relation of the teacher to the children; to the people of the section," He said in part that the little pupil on being flrst sent to school very often had very exaggerated ideas of the treatment he might expect from the teacher and this must be overcome and the child re•assurecl. The teacher's first duty then was to study the pupil by confidential talks and watching him at play and in his conduct toward other pupils. Whipping should be Idiscouraged under :dl circumstances sour the child and create ill.feeling. The dull pupil needed encouragement l ,core than blame or punishment. There are dull men and we may ex- pect ect dull children and such should be was got with to a hicall it a dealt wi s t y p Y, necessary for the teacher to exhaust himself trying to keep order, If the children were kept busy andinteresced in their work there would be gond order. Have no favorites, treat all alike, and get regular attendance, get the children enthused with their work. The teacher should go among the peo- ple he works for, have something in common with them find notkeep aloof. This subject was further discussed by Mr. Boeck, principal of the Clinton ,Model school, at some length and by Dlr, 1.1. Horton, Mr Henderson, principal of the Br•uslels Public school took up the subject of "Reading", To teach this subject successfully the teacher must he enthusiastic; and to arouse enthus- iasm iu the class must be a willing worker rind be absolutely familiar with the work on hand. To overcome voeabnlary defects separate lessons should be used. Have children bring choice selections to read to the class, To overcome tiinitlity, the teacher must be resourceful and snit the rem- edy to the individual case, not neces- sary that all the class should read every day and proper phrase grouping should be constantly aimed at. This paper was further discussed by Dr. Field, who stated that great im- provement had been made in the teaching of reading during the past yearor two. Miss McLean of the Seaforth Public school then very ably discussed "Kin- dergarten'Work in Public Schools not having a Kindergarten Department," The natural activity of the child was manifest in play and. to develops this activity• in playing at work was the province of the kindergarten, .[t de- veloped power by means of sett expres sion, The mind of the active child i bebusyand nothing ap- pealed: t r kept must L pealed• to the child's mind so power- fully as child songs, Never discourage the childish attempts he they ever so imperfect. Singing was the easiest method of interesting the child, Miss McLean then gave exhibits of building blocks, paper discs and simple devices, to teach constructive work, coloring, etc. All these things train the obser- vation and give the idea of number and shape. The children should re produce by drawings of the things they see and make. The president and Mr. Holland lis cussed this paper, "Nature Study in Public Schools," by Id e, J. W. Emery, B. A,, science master of the Stratford Normal, was the next on . the program. This ad dress was very practical and was listen ed to with much interest and profit, Mr, Emery took for his text the little story of "r'oinmy and the Crow," as told in the old second reader, and pointed out he great attachment for po t nature and its wonders always magi Tested in the child mind and too often "cawed" at by older and maturer ones, Commercialism drives out of the life of the child the love of nature. We should try to keep alive in our la I assome of the sc nos longas wecan songs of '' dl' 'and never let the chil ifs t hard', dry grind replace the melody of childhood. We should strive to have more of the poetry' of life that found expression in nature study and less time might be given to socalledl more important subjects. Natur'e study was a great educator of the child in a spiritual sense, A knowledge of nature was a solace in life and an in serest ever enduring. The poet Wordsworth was saved from infidelity by his intimate knowledge anal love of nature. It would'prove a great mss take'and a great hindrance to the pro grecs: of the child to neglect this. subject, , This address elicited much comment and discussion in which the ladies showed their interest by taking part, Miss Deadman, Mise -Rands, Messrs. Postliff, Bryans and others joining:in the discussion. In answer to enquiries as to the ,best works for teachers Mr. Emery recommended "Hodge's Nature when possible as it has a tendency to Which One Do You Prefer?
