Prom a highoffice window, I
Watched the sad autumn rain pour
down •
1n', straight -combed slanting lines of.
gray
Upon the •e -noon hush of town;
P pt
Then, suddenly, struck twelve o'clock
And from the great stone hives
nearby.
I saw the eager people come
Umbrella -armed • and slicker -dry.
Green, blue and r•ecl their parasols,
Burst open like strange flowers
sweet,
Whose blending coloursseemedto me
As rainbows melting : clown the
street!
Quaint city blooms;" they swayed
along,
A swiftly moving steady stream,
And, from their gayly -tinted garb
Rain -dimpled' 'puddles caught the
gleam.
I -thought how brief a time ago
We dressed for rain in blacks and
',
.And blessed these' modern styles that
bring
A rainbow hue to rainy days.
—Molly Bevan
Do you know, I've often been
•cheered on a rainy, dull day by the
'bright hues of ,.the girls' slickers and
umbrellas. Why not bring a bit of
cheerinto a rainy day when it can
be done so simply? It ' is only
against a sombre sky thatbright col-
ors, show at their best. -Soft, pastel
shades are best when the sun shines
'forth from sunny, summer skies.
Bless the girl in the bright slicker
on a rainy day,
The mother of a grown son and
daughter, who have always been a
4ouree of comfort and pride to their
parents,• called me the other day to -
say that she agreed entirely with my
argument that praise, rather than.
fault-finding brings the best re-
sults in training children. "I expect-
ed my children to turn out web," she
Said. "I praised them when they `de
served it and they knew what I ex-
pected of them and they did not dis-
appoint me. .I never nagged at them
but held a high ideal before them and,
knowing what was expected of them,
they tried to reach that ideal. Nag-
ging at children will not make them
behave."
I think if parents kept ever before
their minds the thought that the
rearing of their - children is the
greatest work they can clo, no matter
what their ' talents are, and would
give it the attention it deserves many
children would be far -happier as well
as much better fitted for life.
But we must face things as
they, are and realize that many peo-
ple who were themselves ill -trained
and many :who are very foolish are
parents, so the Public and Sunday
school teacher, and those with whom
the young people come in contact;
must do their best. Give the young-
sters as good a chance as possible,
they are the ones who will be run-
ning the business of the world in a
few years.

views of the work gong over.
Should notes be given in History?
To this exprepsions by the teachers
some of . whom favored ` doing so,
While some opposed, Through out
the whole eonvention this question
was to the front and was pretty well
-threshed out. The conclusion ar-
rived at seemed to be that notes
should not be given Third Book }Pu-

essary with. the Entrance class eel
pecially when using the old History
text book.
The. Convention then divided ;for'
federation considerations.' The wo-
men continued their organization,
elected their officers and paid in
their clues.-- The men decided not
to organize but to leave it optional
with the individual to, join the Pro-
vincial Federation or remain out.
Thi evening session was held in
the Assembly Hall of the Collegiate
Institutoand was presided over by
the President. A varied program
was enjoyed by : those present but
Comparatively few of the teachers,
remained for it. Vocal and instrn-.
mental numbers'twere contributed
by Miss Adeline Gaiser, of Crediton,
II/friss Margaret Wilson, of Godrich,
Miss Jean Connor; of Goderich and
.Mr. Bert Cutt, of Galt, all of whom
were heartily encored.
`-.The President took for the subject
of her address "The Influence that
a Teacher may exert."' Among the
high points touched on were:'.
1. Teachers should exact obtd-
ience and .politeness but yet ,show
the pupils that youare their friends.
•
2. Teachers should not be given
to spoonfeeding but allow pupils to'
do everything' possible for them-
selves.
3. Some pupils lean to certain
subjects. These should be consid-
ered and allowed to follow their
own inclinations. The address was
replete with good thoughts.
Mr. W J. Dunlop, B.A., Director

Mr. J. Elgin Tom, •
Goderich, Ont.
Dear Mr. Tom,—
. We, the teachers of West Huron
learned soma weeks ago that yoc
had severed your connection, with
us Ss inspector of our schools.
For `many years, from 1886 to
1928, you have been a regular semi-
yearly visitor to the 136 class -rooms
in the inspectorate. Many, who,
at the beginning of your term, were'
in charge of the schools are now
scattered far and wide in other call-
ings or have passed to their reward
while, those of 'ti's still remaining
have moved along under your over-
sight from the , beginners' class,
through all the grades, till here
we stand members of ,the teaching
profession. You, no doubt, have
witnessed great changes during that
long term, not only in the methods
used, but for the betterinent of the
school buildings and equipment.
You have ever had the best .in-
terest of the schools at heart and
have endeavored to render every
assistance possible 'to the teachers
in charge., 'You have not only been
active in educational lines, buthave
directed your energies along church
activities.
• You have now reached the stage
of life ;when retirement .from the
strenuous duties of former days
should be enjoyed to the full, • We
trust that you will not remain in
seclusion but that your long -endur-
ing interest in education and in the
teachers -will not diminish as the
,years come•and go. We join in ex-
tending to you a cordial invitation
to the meetings of our association
in the years to conte, and, in evok-
ing God's richest blessing upon you,
upon Mrs.' Tom, and upon the mem-
bers of your family, throughout
time.
We consider this an opportune
time to express our ' best wished
while we are here in convention as-
sembled,. and, as a link in the chain
of your remembrance of those many
years of faithful service, we 'ask you
from page 4)
' to accept of this gift and Mrs. Tom
these flowers; as a token of the efCec-
tion we bear you,
Signed on behalf of the West Ifu-
ron Teachers' Association.

Mr. Tom responded thanking r the
teachers for their token of 'remain,
brance.
Mr. J. P, Himre, B.A.:, principal
