the }Inman Soul."

gregation to .see their.former pastor,
Rev.' M. M. Bennett, taking part in
the morning service, Mn, Bennett
gave a farewell message and spoke
feelingly of the many kindnesses
shown to him and his 'family by the
congregation.

iag,es, gathered and arranged •by'
eral yoting ladies of the church. ,Donald.

EAST HURON.. TEACHERS MET
• .• IN BRUSSELS
The fifty-fourth annual convention
of the East Huron Teachers' Institute
was held in the United church, Brus-
sels, October 13th and tath, It was
attended by one hundred and twenty-
five teachers and proved a success in
every respect
The opening +devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. Barker, of
the United church,' Brussels.
Reeve A. C. Baeker welcomed the
aseociation on behalf of the village.
He expressed his appreciation that
Brussels had been chosen. His mes-
sage to the associa.ion was that more
time be spent in schools for literary
work, especially public speaking, the
proper time for cultivating the same
being in youth.
The records of the last convention
were read by Mr. C. S. Sellers and on
the approval of Mr. W, Bisbee, they
were adopted as read.
Mr. W. Bisbee, president of the as-
sociation, gave a very interesting and
instructive address. He spoke on fifth
class work in public schools. He
brought out the advantages to pupils
by, (i) It develops initiative; (2)
helps pupils in other classes; (3)
leads pupils to spend one or two
more years at school and oftentimes
to continue at school.
'The following committees were ap-
pointed: Nominating conunittee--Mr.
Jefferson, Gorrie; Mr. Crawford, Sea -
forth; Miss Johns, Wingham ; Miss
McGowan, Blyth; Resolution com-
mittee -Miss McNab, Brussels; Mn
Garrett, Wroxeter; Miss McKay, Sea-
forth.
Thursday Afternoon.
On Thursday afternoon some very
useful and practical discussions took
place at the different conferences.
Primary, first and second classes, un-
der Miss F. Buchanan; third classes,
under Miss M. Bowes; fourth classes,
under Mr. A. Posliff; and Continua-
tion, under Miss Penfold.
The first paper Thursday afternoon
was taken by Miss M G. N. Trying
of the Hamilton Normal School, on
"How to Improve Our English." She
very cleverly brought out the reasons
for improvement of speech and differ-
ent means of proc'uring it, English
language should he prized. Trashy
novels too easily obtained and too
readily grasped by the youth of the
country -this could be overcome by
creating in the pupils a love for good
literature and authors. Pronunciation
is spoilt in many People by poor ar-
ticulation due to, first, ignorance of
sounds; second, failure to discriminate
between like sounds; third, slovenly
use of the vocal organs; fourth, tor-
pid will. Will power and self resolu-
tion are necessary to overcorne the
difficulties of utterance, articulation,
accentuation, and enunciation. She
pointed out a number of, examples
which would ,tend to procure the de-
sired unity and smoothness of speech.
Meeting then adjourned until the
evening session when a program con-
sisting of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic, •readings and community singing
were well rendered. The teachers feel
indebted to the People of Brussels
for the success of this splendid even-
ing.
Friday Morning.
Miss M G, N. Irving, of Hamilton
Normal School, conducted a Picture
Study Lesson with a class which was
much enjoyed by both teachers and
pupils. She very cleverly introduced
her lessoa by a, short interesting dis.
cussion of art galleries. She used sev-
eral pictures to bring the artist's story
coritained in the picture. All pictures
by good artists contain stories, By
a very well developed series of sys-
tematic questions and answers the
children were able to understand the
story of "The Highland Shepherd's
Chief Mourner." She also showed how
-art, picture study, language and com-
position could be correlated. Her ad-
dress was really a great help to those
present in teaching the difficult sub-
ject /of Picture Study,
Mrs. Snyder introduced the discus-
sion on problems of a small school.
She gave a very good paper showing
the different ways and taeart8 of over-
coming the diiffoulty experienced, in
small schools due to lack of competl-
tion. Competition is essential in the
life and, progress of the school. merit
and report cards help. She pointed
out that pupils are handicapped for
play in a small school but this ear&
be overcome by fostering a good
school Spirit.
Miss M. Wheatley 'continued the
disetisstot ane thought the problems
of the siriall achool could he partially
overcome by consolidation and town-
ship school boards. Attendance prob-
lem has to be contended with in elass-
es of one pupil, No opportunity for
debate in school reading tattles, a.
great help to all schools..
Mr, Posliff gave a number of waye
to develop observation.
Mr. Bisbee and Miss Reynolds led,
the convention in coinmunity singing.
Miss McLean introduced the sub-
ject of "Problems of a Large School."
She pointed out the +difficulties of re-
viewing work and correction of ex-
ercise books and her ways of over-
coming the same. Difficulty in secur-
ing time for much individwil atten-
tion is experienced. Diseipline is
procured by means of fair play and
the right school spirit being fostered.
Report cards, good for discipline and
attendance: She believed there were
as many advantages as problems in
a large school.
Miss H. Delaney continued the dis-
cussion, emphasizing the lack of suf-
ficient time for individual help and
teaching as well as homework correc-
tion. In a large school the probehns
of gifted normal and subnormal chil-
dren presented a problem... At the end,
of the paper much useful discussion
took place with regard to the above
problems.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Mr. Ashton; Yiee-
president, Miss McKay; secretary -
treasurer, Mr. Sellers; libraiian, Dr.
Fitld
Executive committee: Mr. G. Jeffer-
son, Miss L. Parrott, Mr. N. Muir,
Blyth public school stela Auditors:
Miss Mills, Miss Strong. Delegate to
0. E. A., Miss F. Buchanan. '
Dr. Field gave a very instructive ad-
dress in "Some Hints in Teaching •
Arithmetic." In teaching arithmetic
the teacher must bear in mind the
use of practical problems and the •
mental training or development of the
mind that arithmetic gives the pupils.
Accuracy in' arithmetic is the first
requisite. He thought that division
of fractions was given too early as
very little use was made of division
of fractions in outside life. 'Vlore
mental arithmetic is needed on ac -
