thought that breadth in the scope

Dr. Field in discussing .this papa
did not quite agree with 11Ir. Treleaven
with reference to the tailing offend

"`Art in Schools" was the first siib

next
topic
on
the r
"School Gardens" byn ipalB was
prineiptel Boucle
of the Model scbool, Mr. Bouek said
it was possible to connect school gar
I• dens with the ordinary school work.
r In taking up the work in Eastern On
tario he Said he had started with home
l gardening by the pupils under' the
I direction of the teachers, who made a
Ipersonal canvas of the parents and
asked each to provide a small plot, 5
X 10 feet. to be the• individual proper
ty of one child, or even more, from the
same family. Nothing is,so conducive
to interest as proprietorship• Dur
ing the month of February lessons
should be given on the nature and
productive capacity of soils and their
preparation aid the r 1sults of these
lessons should be made the subject of
composition work. A little later get
children to bring seed catalogues, let
them read from them the time and
method of planting the seeds and
transplanting the young plants. La
ter take up the planning of the plot,
each pupil for himseif. Let each pu
pin select his own seeds arrcl make all
arrangements, then work. out a color
scheme for each plot. Test the ger
urination of each kind of seed. In
May the actual work of planting may
begin, after growth has started the
pupils may examine and sketch the
different embryo plants. The chief

The matter of appointing delegates

was then taken up and after some dis

Dr. Field then proceeded to discuss
"Agriculture m the Public Schools"
and pointed out the importance of the
subject considering the dietinguished
position Ontario occupies among t:he
provinces, particularly in an ngricul
turai'sense, and the fact that .the pop
ulation of rural sections was declining.
The demand for this teaching and for
techni:al training bas come as a result
of the dema:nd•for skilled laborers and
skilled fa, mars. It was but natural
that something should be done to ar
rest the exodus from the farm to the
city. Cities have been built up at the
expense of the country and very large
ly the successful business :nen of the
cities came
from the faints. The
teaching of agricultural would have a
tendency to give the boy a better lilt
ing for his future work on the farm,
Agriculture is a science. A good
knowledge of the rotation of crops,
the nature of the soil, the feeding of
animals, .markets, etc„ goes to make
up the successful farmer, and lie only
could succeed who gave due weight to
the importance of these things in his
p1'eparation for his life work. Dr.
Pield maintained that even milk test
ing
apparatus could belnsed by the tar
ger pupils and by the farmers of the
section and ilius the productive value
of each cow could be determined.
The different varieties of grain could
be tested In the scbool garden so that
the pupil can thus know what best to
plant and what to reject, the know
ledge thus gained could be carried
home and turned to good account.
Dr. Field expressed the hope that
teachers would take greater interest
in
the matter of teaching agriculture
and take advantage of the veru gen
exons inducements offered by the
Government in fitting themselves for
the work,
Mr. Thos• Armstrong then read a
very interesting and instructive paper
on "The Story in the Public Schools,"
Thrilling incidents were always inter
esting to children, story telling cal
tivates the language and the powers
of composition. Stories of history
and of adventure were not only a
means of education but did much to
relieve the monotony of school life. It
was ar es should couide to ntain aingnwida�e school range
oof them beencouraood storged. stories were,
useful as a means of explaining pass
ages of literature and stimulated the
imagination. A definite purpose
should always guide the teacher in
the choice of a story and the class
should be encouraged to not only re
produce it orally or in writing, but.
to improve or to add to it when pos
Bible.
The -presenting of the financial re
port prepared by the auditors, Mess
rs. Shi]linglaw and Horton, was the
first item on the program for the of
ternoon session and on motion of
Messrs. Holland and Postliff was ad
opted.
Mr. Emery then took up his second
subject, "Hidden Beauty in Animate
and plants." The key note of Mr.
Emery's address was the lessons of
God's providence over all as manifes
ed in the things of nature, birds ani
mals and reptiles, We shudder at
the appearance ,of the common toad
but its warty, earthy skin shows
Dare of the creator in so creating it as
to preserve its life. All animals and
birds sing of the goodness of the
great Creator. The child roust be
taught to read nature in its ugliest
mood as well as in its beauty. The

properly the breadth and greatness of

while we must destroy noxious weeds
and blood thirsty animals, yet we must

purposes of creation,
At the conclusion of this address the
secretary expressed his personal appre
elation of. Mr. Emery's excellent ad
dress and voiced the feeling of the As
sociation by moving a hearty yote of
thanks to Mr. Emery who had won the.
good will of all by his kindly and very
instructive lessons on the two subjects

As the time for adjournment had
then arrived Mr. Naylor very briefly
outlined his address on "Physical
Training in Public Schools," as taught
at London and pointed out the chief
benefits of such a course and the good
results is would have in correcting the
many inperfections in habit's.

Mr. Holland, that Messrs. c01Po9td11f1,
