G. °Mid- dleton, reeve of Clinton; who ex- pressed his pleasure in welcoming such a gathering as this to the Town sof Clinton He spoke brieflyof the ;advantage to the county of .giving the young people :good schools, thus fit- ting them to undertake their life work of whatever nature it may be. Mr. Robt. Coultes, president of the Association, who occupied the chair, expressed his regret that the people as a whole are not more interested. in. educational matters, when upwards of $05,000, ,:side from grants are ex- pended annually in our own county, and about $332,000,000 in the : Prov- ince of Ontario, . aro contributed to- ward this 'Very important • (natter, .:year by year. He ompliasized the rnoed for good education, and 'espec- ially the building up of characters in our boys arid. girls, pointing out that y honesty and uprightness really 11 count for morethan dollars and cents, The object of education should be to raise tlit, level of citizenship. As a rule, our ur rural coini:nunities, seeondary� ' asditcs,tioiw is nil, and even the short ouisi'8 offered by are not fully enough attended. Mr. S. B. Stothers, district repre- sentative of the county of Huron,. spoke on the subject of vocational training. ; He called attention to the fact that the rural school of today provides nothing for the pupils after the Entrance is passed and that boys and girls :leave school too young, also expressing his belief , that larger schools,.. if need be -Consolidated,. where more advanced work could be taken up would. be of marled bene- fit to the average rural • child.; •Ie` spoke of night schools, correspond- ence courses and post -graduate cour- ses and the benefits to be derived from such. He then went on to ex- plain the 3 months' . course showing how any •community might obtain the. same, if an attendance of 25 girls' and 25 boys is obtained, the community to pay the local expenses, such as hall rent, etc., while the department pays staff expenses. He called atten- tion to the fact that many had ,re- ceived their first inspirations' its var., ious lines through the 2 -weeks' coir- ses at Guelph.` These all tend. to, stimulate reading and to create a bet- ter interest in Agriculture, Mr. Spencer, principal of the Sea forth High School next addressed the Convention an the subject of Com- mercial courses in High Schools, and the .advisability of adopting the teach- ing' of same, He is of the opinion 1. that a commercial course should not be undertaken without at least two years continuation work, as a 'stud- ent with a poor foundation does not usually timake good, whereas( a boy o girl with a three years' course i contitivation, work .is sure of a goo rbusi- ness •cd that sit est 1 position; , Inc suggested course could rtin concurrently but did not deem it advisable to hav it compulsory.''
