TEACHERS OF WEST HURON
:WILD 52nd ANNUAL,C:ONVEN•
TION AT - EXETER
On October 10th, X 1t'h
Mr. J. G. McEachern B.A.; :of Lon-
e • Normal School Was the Department
• Representative.
The number of . teachers including
visitors wha registered was .138.
The fifty-second annual convention
of West Huron Teachers was held in
Main Street United Church on
Thursday and Friday last. Mr. A.
J. Brintnell the President presided
throughout the sessions. Rev. C.
J.' Moorehouse, pastor of the 'church,
in conducting the opening exercises
extended a welcometo the teachers
and emphasized the importance of
the work they are carrying, on. The,
task of the teachers and of the prea-
cher are co -related. The minutes
of the last session of 1928 were read
and approved.
Miss Margaret Peutland introduced
the subject of `Class Room Decorat-
ions'. She emphasized the necessity
of keeping the room attretive, of
keeping clean B. B. and of•covering
the gloomy walls with maps and pic-
tures. A display of the best work
of each class proves of interest to the
pupils. The windows should be dec-
orated with flowering plants and the
B. B. should have upon it drawings
to represent the months of the year
or special days as Hallowe'en,
Thanksgiving, Valentine, : St. Patrick,
besides some to represent Fire Pro-
tection week. The Teacher herself
should be a sample of neatness " and
should appear in different attire in
order to break the monolopy.
Inspector Beacom commented up-
on the paper and suggested to the
convention the necessity of cultivat-
ing the aesthetic school. err. Tom,
(Ex. I.P.S.) and several of the tea
cliers offered suggestions in the way
of publications dealing with the work
among these being the Pictorial Edu-
cation, a monthly journal published
in England .
11Iiss Addeline Geiser of Crediton,
gave a paper on Supplementary
Reading.
The selection of the course,. as sug
gested, should tend to the proper de
velopment of the child and the super
vision of the material should be done
by the teacher. Children should be
taught to use the dictionary and the
encyclopedia. Observation properly
developed should lead the child out
into new fields of discovery. The
books should be suited to theirage
and to their ability to comprehend.
Works such as that of Abraham
Lincoln should be on the book -shelf
and with young children the stories
should be told not read. Care must
be exercised by the teacher to pre-
vent the children from reading frivol-
ous stories. With senior pupils this
reading may be co -related with his-
tory and geography and may be tak-
en either at school or at home.
Pupils should be tested on what has
been read. Silent readers were sug-
gested as beneficial.
Miss Ruby Creech of the Exeter
staff took Primary Reading with a
Mass of six girls. She developed the
lesson by introducing picture study
and had the pupils, in complete sen-
tences give an item about each unit
found thereon.. Word recognition
in script, followed and after a short
3ri11, sentences were read embracing
the words learned.
Lively discussions followed in which
She teachers were divided on two :
stems the "phonic" and the old "lock
and say" methods.
Miss Vera Todd gave an interest
:ng paper on Second Class Composit-
ion. According to the plan suggested
She pupils tell the story orally and
`hen reproduce it. Picture study for
this grade proves of interest to the
pupils. Sentence building should de-
nelop into paragraph construction.'
Pupils of different schools may carry
on a correspondence by letter to de-
velop that phase of the subject.
Thursday Afternoon
The afternoon session opened with
the reading of the minutes of the
morning session. Music" with a class
of public school pupils was taken by
the music instructor Mr. W. R. Gold-
ing, A.T.C.M. who, in a'very pleasing
way showed his method of taking the
subject in the class rooms. nIn a few
minutes he had the children singing
a new song. Tonic S oh Fay :Pulse
measures. The lesson was an agre-
eable diversion from the general
routine and one in which the etach-
ers took keen interest. Inspector
Beacom commented upon the work
and expressed the hope that soonall
schools, rural and urban, woi>,ld be
taking the subject. Of late, the De=
pertinent of Education has made lib-
sral grants to schools introducing it.
Miss Alice Hoffman of Dashwood,
in her usual pleasant manner deligh-
ted the teachers in the singing of P.
olo. Mr. 3. Fe McEehern, B.A., of
London Nor i l School, gave a tall:
on the teaching of. History, He would
Ice this subject to direct the moral
nature ofethe child especially in the
•4e of noteworthy characters Stich as
o once Nightingale, the study " of
Fame life inspires the girls to noble
'lehr;ta or by tine study of ::?meet,,'$

caluatU e i behi , The presexit system
of cramming history for the sole pars
pose 'of passing candidates through
exaaninations was condemmed on the
ground that it' leads pupils to hate
the subject arlcl to soon forget it,
Among his class at the Normal School
aver fifty per cent abhor the subject
instead of loving it. Teachers should
love history, know it well and being
interested in it themselves, try to
interest the pupils. Like teacher
like pupil applies to this subject as
well as other phases of school life.
To create that interest the following
guides should help the teacher: 'The
course .of study should be graded. 2,
Inte�restissg details should be supplied
3, Supplementary reading should be
taken with texts. 4, , The students
should dramatize. the'subject where
possible. 5, Illustrations . should be
used as well os historic novels, biog-
raphy investigations and excursions.
The paper was full of helpful thou-
ghts for the teachers.
Miss Grace Pepper followed with
Third Class Composition. This sub-
ject should develop in a natural way
from the course covered by the sec-
ond class only calling for more de-
tailed study of the sentence format-
ion paragraph structure, punctuation
etc. Subjects of interest to the
Pupils should be . selected to develop
thought. ' Outlines of stories should
be given to assist pupils to fill out
the details. A story may be told in
sections each pupil continuing from
where the other left off. The subject
may be co -related with art, history,.
geography, literature. The use of
homonyms should be continued
through this grade and used in sen-
tence building. The roll call showed
132 teachers present on this day.
Miss Lila MsCulloch of Winchelsea
followed with Fourth Class. Com-
position, language should be taught
for daily use. In this grade correct-
ion of common errors with the reas-
ons for such corrections should be
stressed and an effort should be made
to prevent slang expressions. De-
bates and speeches should be used
freely to develop language Repro-
duction of stories, friendly and bus-
iness letters, descriptive and illustr-
ative biography, eac., offer good
material. In correcting the work,
the plan followed is to mark each
one, then take up the corrections in
class so that all the pupils may bene-
fit and avoid such errors as seen -saw,
the -they, their -there. Free and easy
expression should be aimed at.
Conuuents were added by Messrs.
Toni, Beacom and Rev. Anthony. Mr.
Tom, Ex I.P.S. expressed his intent-
ion of offering two scholarships to
rural Entrance Candidates in 1930 as
in 1929, one to the Exeter Centre
and one to Goderich Centre. He also
gave the contents of a letter receiv-
ed from Mr. Husband, High School
Inspector, to the effect that on the
test made in Farm I of the High
Schools, Goderich and Exeter stood
first reflecting as it did on the good
work done by the teachers of the in-
spectorate, who make good use of his
rules of spelling.
ee An item of interest at the Conven-
tion was the dreeaassiot , of the Answe

of thought.
Mr: G.. Mawson took a class of

Mr. J. G. laCcEachern, B.A., of Lon-
don gave his paper" on . "The Prepar-
ation for the Teac+.bing• of Literature.'
In studying a poem the pupils want
to be led to feel as the poet felt and
to see what the poet saw: The teacher
should know the circumstances under
which each poem was written. Such
an. understanding of the authorship
enables the teacher to lead the pupil
to see the beauty of the poem. There
should be no moralizing in Literature
Teachers should know the author,
what he thinks of life; the age in
which he lived, and how the thoughts;
therein containers are a production of
that age. -Without a real love for the
subject the teaching will fall' far
short of its aim.
Miss Sharman commented on the
paper and moved a vote of thanks to
Mr. McEachern. In the discussionh
which resulted the idea of resurrect-
ing the Teacher's Library, which once
existed in the Inspectorate but was
never used,., came foith again. The
books numbering about one hundred
were divided among the different
public libraries of the inspectorate.
Mr. A. J. Brintell, who was a dele-
gate to the O.E.A. last Easter gave
his report of the proceedings of that
organization. Space will not permit,
of any abstract of the paper. A full'
report in book form may be obtained
by any teacher who -writes 14fr. W. .
F. Moore of Dundas, Ont. Miss Helen
Hayter rendered a pleasing solo
which broke the monotony of the ses-
sion. Mr. Roy Stonehouse of God-
erich discussed the merits of the
present Canadian History and was of
the opinion, that it meets with gen-
eral favor. A vote of opinion being
taken on the text showed the major-
ity in favor of it
The Resolution Committee present-
ed its report as follows: That a trans -
lex card preferabiy, the A.D.P. card
