And while this is true, stlil we do not feel that we are in any way farther re- moved 'from the intimacy and friend- ship that we have enjoyed with you in the past. This being more especial- ly true, as for the present at least, you are still with us. As true friends, 11 13 our desire to rejoice -with you in this, your hour of happiness and sun- shine. Nor would our interest he your welfare end here, rather may it be a fellowship which will grow with the years, so that in your joys and sor- rows, through the clouds and sun- shine, may you ever find in us a deep- er sympathy, a keener appreciation of all that the future holds for you. We feel that this will not be at all im- possible for during the past time that we leave known you, you well merited 3ur loyalty as friends. ."While our meeting here to -night on such a happy and joyous occasion as this may bning to all of us the sense of unalloyed happiness and pleasure, yet we would not forget, both we and you, 'that life is real and life is earnest' and that 'Not enjoy- ment and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way But to act that each to- morrow Find us farther than to- day.' 'Anti so as an outward expression of the eentiments and feelings of our hearts, we would be very pleased to have you accept this miscellaneous shower, perhaps conveying to you our individual and personal good will which a larger and perhaps more sub- stantial gift would fail to do I Again, we wish the best that life has to offer. Not only would we extend our best wishes, but we look up to the all lov- ing Father and say 'God bless you.

WEST HURON TEACHERS' CONVENTION. 'West Huron teaches met in Con veation Goderich on October 9 and 10. The number of teachers, in eluding visitors, were 140. ;The fiftyethird convention was held in Victoria School. In the absence o the president, Miss Annie E. Consitt the viceepresident, Mr. P. A. Kil patrick, presided. The opening exercises were taken by Revs. R. C, McDermid and G. W Butts, Inspector Beacom spoke it befitting terms of the late J. E. Tom who for the past fifty years contri buted to the educational nitplift o the province, first as a teacher and later as Inspector of the Schools it West Huron. Durin,g the 43 years o inspection. his foremost thoughts were Inc the betterment of the schools and teachers under his superviaion.. No only did he perform his duties as an educationalist but took all active in- terest in church circles. For mane years he was superintendent of the Sabbath .school and a member of the session. On motion of Beaccun-Stone- house the secretary was instructed to send a letter of condolence to the be- reaved widow and, family. The minutes of .19'29 session were read and adopted. - Mayor W. Mac -Ewen addressed words of welcome to the teachers and commented on, the nobility of their calling. He paid tribute to their faithfulness in the class -rooms and to the untiring devotion to duty outside its walk as members of the community where in many cases they are regarded as leaders. , Announcements were made by the Inspector and Secretary regarding books sent for inspectton and the luncheon to be held al the noon hour, Owing to the appointed audi- tors, Messrs, G. Mawston and A. j. Brintnell leaving the .peofession two others, Meese*. C. Blavres and W. Davis, were named. Rev. G. W. Butts addressed. a few words of appreciaion to the work of the teacher. He spoke of the in- fluence of the teachers in their re- spective communities where they, through close contact, leave lasting impressions. Miss Anna McDotea4d gave an ex- cellent paper on Domestic Science— Hot Lunches in Rural Schools, Many children in these schools are una.ble to return home .for dinner and, as a conse.quence, are obliged to carry' a cold. meal with them, This has been proven a detriment to such pupils, in their afternoon work.

Besides the teacher may correct rude ma.n- tiers and faulty habits when de- tected, .Before launching opt in the new venture a meeting of parents and trustees should be called to talk over preparatory' work such as procuring utensils, food, etc. Pupils • supply cups, forks, knives., etc. Officers are appointed and the menu made out for each week. Pupils in charge make prepara- tions before nine o'clock and at re- cess so that the meal may be serv- ed at 12:05. They remove the dirty dishes to be washed. At this final operation instructions may be given in caring for silverware, etc„ and many false impressions may be cor- rected. Many comments were given by other teachers who have undertaken the service. Mr. Beacom explained the grant's given for -this work. Forty dollars is paid the first year and $20 each succeeding year. • Mr. H. J. Lockett, M.A., of the Normal School, Hamilton, took for his topic "Rural Teacher's Problems and Opportunities." He would impress upon the teach - ere the golden opportunities which are theirs in ,spite at the great prob- lems which present themselves. Es- pecially is this true with the rural teacher who has no superior to give advice. New teachers would find the advice of more experienced teachers very accepteble. Beginners profit by visiting other schools while in session and can save mach time, where there are many classes, by combining the grades where possible. A busy class room is a. quiet one so careful thought should be given to the seat work. Keeping in touch with School and Home Clubs keeps parent and the teachers alive tp what is inpst needed about the school, Teachers, enthused in their work, will create a like feeling 'in the pupils and parents to the effect that irregularity will be overcome. Another factor which contributes to success is the teacher's tenue in a school. Teachers flitting about get nowhere, Several suggestions were added by the teachers as to means of creating interest in attendance. Mr. Palmer A. Kilpatrick, dele- gate to the Oak, gave his report on the proceedings of that teachers' parliament. Space will not allow a lengthy abstract of this paper which covered several departments.

This closed the forenoon session, At the noon hour the teachess as- sembled at Knox Presbyterian church where a luncheon was .served by the Ladies' Add. Inspector Beacom pre- sided and run, off a short program, after the hundred and more teachers had satisfied themselves with the ab- undance of good things provided. Miss Alice Hoffman rendered a'solo which merited great applause arid Billy Joe Johnston delighted the and"- eace with his recitations. Rev. R. C. AlcDermict gave a short humorous address. Prof. Kingston of London university gave an illustrated talk on A,stronotny. !The attention given dur- ing this hour proved how interested the teachers were in the wonders of solar system thrown on the screen, Mr. Kingston has his subjett well in hand and understands how to carry his audience by tinging his remarks toil humor. The Convention returned to the school and continued the program. Miss Pearl Love of Crediton gave a paper on Printery Arithmetic eind showed her method with beginners. Miss Ada Webster followed with a paper on First Boek Arithmetic. She suggested frequent reviews of the work with a gradual move into more difficult numbers involving units, tens, hun dreds. To break the monotony at this point a spell of open discussion was given after which Miss M Wilson of Goderich delighted the Convention with a solo. . Miss M. Rowe of Exeter followed with a paper on Second Book Arith- metic. .eliss M. Horton of Exeter gave a paper oa Third Class Arithmetic. The first few weeks should be spent in review of the work of the previous grade. (Continuer next week.) MANLEY. A kitchen shower was given at the home of Ed.
