The Teachers' Parliament.
The Thirty -Seventh Annual Conven-
tion of the Ontario Teachers' Association
opened at Toronto on Tuesday last.
There was a good attendance of dele-
gates, and almost every part of the Pro-
vince was represented. These meetings
are usually very'interesting, and much
useful instruction 'on educational matters
can always be gleaned from the reports.
The present meeting seems to be as suc-
cessful in every respect as any of its
predecessors. One of the leading feat-
ures was an address by Rev. Dr. Ormia-
ton, of New York,and formerly ef Hamil-
ton. The Reverend Doctor seems to
have lost none of the originality ancl
vivacity of thought which so distinguish-
ed him when in this country. His ad-
dress was brim -full of useful, practical
suggestions, clothed. in the moit interest-
ing and attractive form. We are sorry that
we have only room for a short synopsis
of his remarks, but we are sure even
that will be read with pleasure and
profit. He took as Ms subject " The
Itelation and Rewards of Teachers." He
.
first alluded to his own early life and
work a8 a teacher, and fully sustained
his claim to a place in the fraternity.
He also paid the highest possible compli-
,.
ment to our educational system. He
had, he said, traveled over twenty-nine
States, and several European countries,
and the educational system of none of
them was equal to that of Ontario. He
then said.;
Every teacher ought to be a manly
man, a model man in physical, moral and.
intellectual life. I had rather have a
first-class teacher under a beech tree,
han the best school -house and equip-
(
ment with a turnip head in it, with no
enthusiasm, no zeal, no power of inspir-
ation. He next considered the relation
of the teacher to the State. Every
teacher, he said, is really an officer of
the State, and therefore- ought to be
BOTH PATRIOTIC AND LOYAL,
loyal alike to the Government, to the
laws, to the institutions of the land
'where he lives. You should be thorough-
ly acquainted with the country and its
relations to other countries, so that you
can speak intelligently and enthusiasti-
cally of your native land. Quoting
Scott's famous lines, "Breathes there a
man with sold so dead," etcathe speaker
said if a Scotchman be proud of the bar-
ren heath -covered hills that gave his
forefathers birth, may not these Cana-
dians be loyal and proud of their broad
domains, their genial sky, and the vast
resources of the land in which they live?
(Applause.) A man does not need to go
about saying 'Tin patriotic, Pm patrice
tic." If he did I would doubt it. A man
doesn't need to say "I arn loyad." Let
h•irn live it and prove it. Let those
boys and girls feel it and they will be
stimulated and become better and grand-
er citizens than we have ever had before/
Then as to your
RELATIONS WITH TRUSTEES.
They are all well-meaning men. Some
of them are a little crabbed and cantank-
erous, and I don't blame them. I have
seen plants growing in rocks where they
had to twist in order to grow at all. If
they are intelligent, liberal and enthusi-
astic, let the teachers sympathise with
them, counsel and advise them. Don't
quarrel with the trustees. Don't talk
about them a.s illiberal and illiterate. If
they have made that impression on you,
just keep it to yourself. If they are not
intelligent and liberal, it is becaase they
don't understand the nature of brain,
work. Some of them imagine thatthirty
dollars a month is quite liberal pay.
Talk the matter over with them quietly
and cenvince them they are , wrong.
Make the surroundings of the school
pleasant, and be sure that the seats are
low enough. You have no idea how
low a seat a child of six or seven can
sit On. •
RELATIONS WITH PARENTS
should be friendly; secure their ea
-
operation if potsible. There are some
matters of which it is diffiault to con-
vince them. Some of them imagine that
their children are born geniuses. They
must be reasoned with. Tell the mother
that Mary is studying too hard and is
impairing her health, and you will es-
tablish a bond of sympathy att once.
Don't scold. It does nobody any good.
THE RELATIONS WITH PUPVLS
are the most important of all. You
must convince those little philosophers
that you are their friend. Don't thrash
them. If a young man, by personal in-
fluence, magnetism and dignity, cannot
manage without thrashing he had better
take the flail at once and leave the
school. You can make friends of your
pupils, and when they love you
they will learn. That is the reason
the ladies teach so well. I have
noticed birds feeding their young, ancl
sometimes they have to "chip, chip," to
make the little things gape. That's the
secret. The girls can chip, Chip and
make the'boys gape better than we can.
(Applausn and laughter.) You must
learn self-restraint, and I know that is
easier said than done. Never threaten.
Egecute if yon will, but don't threaten.
I have known more teachers lese their
personal dignity from that cause than
from any -other. When you can with-
- hold censure, do it. When you can
give a word of praise give itBe kind
and considerate with dull boys. They
may be as old in years as smart ones,
but they are really younger, for their
minds are not so matured. That is the
reason girls nearly always excel boys of
the same age. A boy can't tell half he
knows; a girl can tell all she knows and
more. (Laughter.) Be very thorough
in all you undertake, and insist upon
thoroughness. Be careful you don't en-
join too much, but when it is enjoined
insist upon its being done •
RESTRAIN ALL UNDUE EMULATION.
(Applause) In all • my educational ex-
perience I have never given any prizes,
and if any man ever got any snore work
out of his boys than.I dic1;, I should like
to see him. Be finely appreciative of
whatever there is goodin a boy. I
never knew a boy or a girl yet that was
all bad. Get hold of the good point and
pull on it and the thread will become a
rope and the rope become a cable. Re
press all tale -bearing. Let there be n
encouragement of espionage. Don't •se
' one boy to mind the rest. If a man i
blind he ought not to teach school. Es
pionage is abominable; we don't wan
private detectives in the school; the
degrade the school, and the man wh
employs them. When I first came t
the Normal school, if a young man wa
caught looking over at the girls be wa
suspended. Why, I couldn't help look
ing at a girl if tsou would 'shoot me.
(Laughter.) I determined' to trust to
their honor. I said, "You know that
all communication between the ladie
and gentlemen is foibidden. I am no
going to watch you." , My experience is
that this is a safe plan, and that boy
and girls won't do whatis dishonorabl
and mean. The Doctor stated his be-
lief that the salaries of teachers wer
not so low, compared with those of th
other professions, as was generally sup-
posed. The tendency, he believed wa
towards higher salaries and greater per-
manency of employment.
Panper Emigration.
Notwithstanding the eathest pretest
which have been made from time t
time against the Government of thi
country squandering money in bringin
'1
to Canada front the slums of the ol
world cities, ;emigrants who beeorne
burden upon our people, the objection
able system seems to be still continued.
The following from a Toronto paper wil
give some idea of the nuisance thes
people are in this country:
A deaf mute called on the Mayo
yesterday and through an interprete
told him a strange tale of hardship,
alleged to have been the work of Miss
Groom, of Hackney, London, England,
who has been employed in the work o
sending deaf mutes to Canada to go in-
to farming. He says that he is one o
45 who were sent out here by Alia-
Groom, who charged £7 each for a pass-
age to Winnipeg, where there was no
one to receive them. Miss Groom hasi
a 400 acre farm neaneWolseley on th
Canadian Pacific Rail&y, and it is said
that this was given either by the Do
minion Government or an English gentle
man for the purpose of placing dea
mutes there. They complain that they
were never paid for their work, and in
generalsay that they were badly treat-
ed. Some of them were shipped to To.
ronto from Winnipeg. The Mayor hag
written to Hort. John Carling, Minister
of Agriculture, protesting strongly
against the shipment to Canada of such,
people. Another case of dumping paut
pers in Canada is that of Henry Fletpher„
a poor, miserable, broken up piece of
humanity, who 'called on the Mayoe
yesterday and asked for relief. He said
he came from Chatham,England,and'had
been ".assisted" by a Dominion agent
there. Scarcely a day passes without
at least one case like these. His Wori
ship says that he would at once ship
them back if he had the funds. A few,
however, are sent back.

man that his scheme is bearin fruit so

we pay agents large salaries for hunting -

-The Goderich Signal of last week
says: The farewell sermon of Rey. A.
McWilliams was preached in Knox
church lecture room ' Sunday evening
last, owing to the chtirch undergoing
certain repairs. The -lecture hall was
crowded to the door and although it is
estimated that some 700 were present,
many were forced to depart owing to in-
ability to find room. The sermon was
an able and lucid exposition, dealing
mainly on the immortality of the soul.
Mr. McWilliams won the friendship of
all with whom he came in contact while
he, acted as assistant pastor in Knox
charch, Goderich.
--The big price for eggs this season
appears to have caused a Howick farmer
to •give the matter • of poultry raising a
good deal of consideration; He came to
the conclusion that the rooter should be
made to share the lebors of raising the
family, and consequently he made ar-
rangements for setting the old fellow on
a dozen good eggs. At first the rooster
did not take kindly to the business, but
he was placed in such a position that he
could not well help hlmself, and at last
accounts was becomieg reconciled to his
fate. Should the experiment prove a
success and eggs keep at 15 cents per
dozen, Commercial Union will raise the
price of broilers to $2.50 apair, and then
the Howick farmer's fortune is made.
-On Friday evening last Chief Con-
stable Ward, of Harriston, received a
telegram from Wingham to look out for
a young fellow who had committed rob-
bery in that place Thursday night prev-
ious. Ward at once took a look around
the town, and soon espied his man sit-
ting in front of the Queen's _ hotel.
Stepping up to the young fellow he in-
formed him that he was wanted, and at
once conveyed hini te the cooler. Upon
being examined some $113 in cash and a
new watch and chain were found upon
his person and taken possession of by
Ward. He first gave his name as Gil-
christ, but afterwards owned up that his
name was Wm. Smith. On Saturday
morning Ward took his prisoner to
Wingham, where he at once confessed to
having stolen $155, and was sent up to
Goderich to stand Ms trial.
-The Clinton New Era of last week
says :-A short time ago it became neces-
sary to drill out the hole at Stapleton
Salt Works, on account of what is known
as "a cave in" at the bottom ofthe well,
and experienced borers from Petrolia
were engaged for that purpose. The
hole, at the surface, is only!five inches in
diameter, and being over eleven hundred
feef into the bowels of the earth some
idea may be formed of the difficulty ex-
perienced in removing obstructions. For
boring a- large iron "bit" with sinker at-
tached, is used, weighing over half a ton,
and this is lotvered by the use of a num-
ber of poles 37 feet long screwed to-
gether. While using this "bit" about
three weeks ago it got fast, and in at-
tempting to draw it up the poles above
it parted, and it was, of course, left at
the bottom of the well. Then the work
of trying to gealt out began. At sech
depth it was utterly impossible to use
pinchers, and the only way to get hold
of it was with the various tools used for
such a purposerknown as a hook, socket,
etc. For three weeks the men worked
patiently at it trying to get some hold on
the iron. It had to be removed, even if
it took a year, and day in and day out
they raised and lowered the poles with
the hook attached-. Sometimes they
would get it part of ithe way up, but its
weight would pull -it back, and the work
had all to be done over. On Friday
evening last, however, their hearts were
gladdened by seeing it come to the sur-
face. When one leoks at it -a solid
piece of iron nearly forty feet long -it
seems astonishing that it was ever
brought up.

which is not essential to the proper pro-
tection of our home industries, neces-
sary for the collection of needed public
revenue.
I see it stated in some of the public
journals that in case the proposed ar-
rangement is consummated foreign goods
will pour through Canada into the
United States. Whether goods were
entered at a Canadian port or in the
United States would be of no consegence,
since the tariff would be the same on
both sides of the line.
Canada has territory larger in extent.
than the United States, and is rich in all
the natural resources necessary to make
a people prosperous. We want and ,
need. an open, uninterrupted highway to
these vast storehouses of natural wealth,
and with it free access to the markets -
of the whole North American conti-
nent.
THE LINE MUST 13E CAREFULLY DRAWN
between protecting an industry and t
merely creating and fostering' a mono-
poly. The former is a source of pros-
perity ; the latter is wholly defenceless.
We now have along four thousand milea
of our Northern frontier an uninterrupt-
ed line of custom houses and picket
guards, as needless as they are annoying
and irritating to the citizens of both
nations. If such a condition of things
was necessary to protect our industries
and the workingmen employed, that
fa. t might be urged as a reason ior
it continuance. But no such necessity
ea :sts.
You will recall the fact that steps:
were taken by Secretary Blaine,while he
was at the head of the State _Depart-
ment, as a member of Garfield.'s Cabinet,
looking to a Zollverein with. the South
American States. It was urged that
such an arrangement would be very de-
sirable, and the proposition net with
much favor. Without discussing the
desirability of such an arrangement it is
proper to say that
OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.
is already greater than that with the
thirty odd millions of people of South
America and the adjacent States We
will sell to Caned?, this year near fifty
millions, and probably purchase from her
in the neighborhood of the same amount.
Our exports to South America proper
will not reach more than half that
amount; so it would seem that the more
desirable Zollverein would be with our
English-speaking neighbors, just across
the line in North America, rather than
with the Latin and other races of. South
America.
You will observe that what is proposed
is in nowise in conflict with the philoso-
phy of Protection. I am a Protection.
ist; but we will agree that Protection
properly deals with the unequal condit-
ions which exist in the field of competie
tion as between our manufactures and
those of the Old World. Those condit-
ions, relating in the main to the cost of
labor, and being so largely in favor of
the plants of Europe, manufacturers
there are in certain. lines of trade
enabled, in the absence of the influence
of our protective system, to control the
markets at our very doors. But this
reason has no possible application to
competition with Canada; and the reason
ceasing, the rule Ceases with it. It is
MY PURPOSE TO PRESS THIS MEASURE
--somewhat amended and amplified -
upon the attention of Congress at its
next session, and ask early and favorable
consideration thereof. It is not a parti-
san measure, and will not, I hope, be
treated as such; since it presents ground
upon which the most ultra Protectionist
and pronounced Free Trader can stand
without having his pet ideas jostled or
disturbed.
Our Canadian neighbors, who live just
across an imaginary line, are in lineage,
language and tradition with us if not of
us. They have the same aims and am-
bitions as a nation, and logically the
same destiny. With opportunities in
the. field of industrial effort in nowise
superior to our own, it would seem that
Protection againat them is needless and
defenceless.
The American Side of the Re-
ciprocity Question.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth has ad-
dressed the following letter to his fellow
members of CongreSs :
Horse OF REPITESENTATIVES, U. S.
WASBUXOTON, D. U., Aug. 6.
DEAR SIR, -As you are probably
aware, at the close of the ,Forty-ninth
Congress a bill was introduced _ by me
which had for its ohject the removal of
dll restrictions ancl ta.x'upott trade and
commerce- between the United States
and the Dominion of Canada, thus ren-
dering the sale and exchange of com-
modities between the people of the two
countries as unfettered and free as it is
now between the several States and Ter-
ritories of the Union.
I have given this proposition careful
study, and am unable to discover any
insuperable objection to the consum-
mation -of what waS proposed by the bill.
It would involve such an adjustment of
tariff rates as would make them identi-
cal throughout the two countries, ancl
possibly the pooling of receipts and di- '
vision of Customs cluties, after the man-
ner of the German Zollverein ; also,
some modification of the internal revenue
system on each side of the line. Allthis
would presentno serious difficulty, when
once the policy is resolved upon.
The Dominion'of Canada has an ex-
haustless supply of minerals, ores, tim-
ber, phosphates, fish, building material,
etc., etc., and
GREAT AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.
Her territory is, interlocked with our
own. The location of her great high-
ways of traffic, lakes, canals, rivers, rail-
ways, open up to us atone an exhaust-
less supply of raw material, and a con-
stantly growing market for our manu-
factured surplus. -
The conditions which make palpable,
to every intelligent mind, the vast re-
ciprocal advantage of full, free and 'un-
restricted trade and commerce between
the people of the older States, and those
of Texas, Kansas, -Nebraska, _Dakota,
Montana and California, are present,
and appeal with equal force in support
of an open and uninterrupted course of
interchange of commodities between the
Lynited States and the provinces of Can -
da. If absolute freedom of commercial
exchanges is desirable in the one case, it
is, and for the same reason -the condi-
tions and circumstances of competition
being similar-etinally desirable in the
other.
There is rio pretence that we need the
revenue derived from the importation of

Cheese Making in Manitoba. ,
Mr. Andrew Malcolm, of Minnedostke
Manitoba, one of the pioneer che
makers of the County of Huron, writss
to the Winnipeg Free Press as follows:
13UILDING AND APPARATUS.
" In reply to your inquiry regarding
what we are doing in. the manufactureof
cheese, I beg to state that ours is a
vate dairy of 36 cows. From these we
make about 90 pounds of cheese daily.
The fattory building is about 16%20; it
contains two 130 gallon vats, four screw
presses, curd sink, milk, etc. A spring
of cold water runs through the ,faetory
and supplies the vats with plenty of
pure cold water for cooling the milk;
thus we have no trouble in keeping the
inilk perfectly sweet for 48 hours in the
ttottest weather. The caring room is in
a separate building; being.of about the
same dimensions as the other. 1 um-
menced to make about the first ef Apml•
The product of April` and May were
sold at 12c per pound, June 10c. 'UP to
within the last two weeks the season
has been very favorable botli. for the
production and quality of fine cheese,
since then we have had mere or lent
trouble with floating curds: The true
cause of this trouble has as yet not been
ascertained. by scientists ; but it is gener-
ally attributed to atmospheric causes -
swampy grasses, bad water, over -heated
cows, etc. Fortunately, Prof.'S. M. Bar-
rie. ; recently appointed by our local gov-
ernment for the purpose of giving In-
structions in both butter and cheese,
making, arrived here just as trituble
commenced, and through his experience
and skill, we succeeded in getting Vet
the l trouble remarkably well; so that
now even with a porus or floating curd
we can by his method,make a fine cheese
suitable for any Market. The time is
close at hand when we will have to look.
