A., and Misses Butcher and awing, was appointed to examine the readers and report. At the afternoon session, Mr. Leigh, presented and explained the Time Ta - ales used in his echool, the general division of time adopted, being, after 'some comments, approved of by those present.

Cressweller followed Ty read- ing an essay on the "Teat:there' Home Reading." The essay was highly eulogized both as to matter and style. The evening session was held in the basement of the Canada Methodist church, a large and very appreciative audience being present. Mr. Leigh gave a reading in good etyle, and was followed by Mr. H. Con- nolly, who sang a beautiful song. Mr. H. I. Strang, B. A., gave a reading with his usual well known ability, and • Mr. F. Cressweller followed in a well -ren- dered recitation.

Not the least pleasing feature of the evening's entertainment was the presen- tation to Mr. W. R. Miller, the late Secretary -Treasurer, on behalf of the Institute, of a complete copy of Cham- ber's Cycloptedia, together with a com- plimentary address. Mr. Miller thaiaked the association for this evidence of its appreciation of his services, in a few w,ell chosen sen- teuceS• A song was then nicely rendered by Miss Eacrett, after which Rev. Mr. Gundy made a few remarks. The even- ing's entertainment, which was one of both pi °fit and pleasure, was brought to a close by the audience singing the National Anthem, and the Benediction by Rev. Mr. Gundy. The following morning the associa- tion met in the school house. After reading the minutes of the last evening's seesion, the following resolution was adopted :-"That any member of this Institute paying in to the Secretary be- fore the 15th of March, the sum of fifty cents ha addition to the membership fee, be furnished with either the School. Journal or Educational Monthly as may be desired, for the current year." Mr. Grassi& then read an excellent paper on "Teaching Writing," illustrat- ing his method on the blackboard. All were interested in this too much ne- glected subject, and admired Mr. Gras- sick'method. Mr. Holrea.n followed by giving an address on "Hygiene," in which he made BOMB very excellent points, and by his animated style of delivery, kept the audience in the best of humor. • Mr. Connolly took up the subject of "Music in Schools," illustrating his method of teaching the theory to young pupils. All were highly gratified with the manner in which he handled his subject. Votes of thanks were then presented to the various parties who had taken part in the work of the association, and the following resolution w as unanimous- ly adopted :-"Resolved, that this As- sociation express its regret that• our esteemed Iuspector, Mr. J. R. Miller, •ff has been compelled by ill -health to be absent from this meeting; that we sin- cerely sympathize with him in his affliction, and trust that he will soon be restored to his wonted health and strength, and be able to resume his labors among us. The aseociation then broke up, each member feeling the better for having met with fellow laborers in the great cause of edticatiou, and more fully in- spired for the work of naoulding the minds of those committed to his or her charge.
