McLaughlin, of Brucefield, ncl was further discussed by other teaChers resent. "Drawing and drawing books" as the next topic of discussion, and was ntroduced by Inspector Tom. After dis- •cussing the drawing books now in use, Mr. om proceeded to give a practical lesson in rapentive. At the a terneon session, Pro- les essor E. J. Brown, P ident of the Del- arte College of Orato y, Toronto, was then troduced, and in a very able and pleasing anner proceeded to discuss the " Philos- phy of expression," on voice culture. This roved vary interesting and instructive, and he - illustrations of pronunciation and em - o heals, as given by the professor, were high - appreciated.

"Vertical writing" was taken p by Mr. E. J. Hagan. Mr. Hagan advo- ated the introduction of the vertical writ - 'ng system in our schools. He claimed that he old system was out of date, and that the vertical system would be the, system of he future and instanced reasons for its adoption. Mr. Tom exhibited the new an- thorized series of books on vertical writing,_ which he described as not up to the stand- ard, and as several of the letters used air - so much different from the ordinary letters, it will be difficult to get good results ,froin them. Several of the teachers took part in this discussion, all expressing disapproval Of the new authorized series of vertical weiting books. Messrs. Hagan Bagshaw, Ander- son Sanders, Misses Hagan, Morrison, and Robertson were appointed a committee to consider the new vertical writing copy books and report thereon. In the evening a very successful -entertainment was given under the auspices of the association.

That reading be not simultaneous with other subjects, and that due precautions for secrecy. be taken as to the matter to be read. That no literary selections be placed on the public school leaving -course that are not found in the primary course.. That the standard for en- trance, public school leaving, primary, and junior leaving exaMinations should continue to be 33h per cent -on each subject, and 50 per cent. on the aggregate. That the non- professional qualification for inspectors' cer- tificates should remain as at present, but that an experience qualification of at least ten years be required, five of which shall have been spent in a public school. That the ageslimit be 19 years for teachers enter- ing the profession. That the board of ex- aminers for the entrance and public school leaving examinations consist of at least seven members, one of whom shall be the public school inspector, a representative from the high school or schools appointed by the Minister of Education, and five pub- lic or separate school teachers, as the case may be, who shall hold at least a second class professional certificate, and who are actually engaged as teachers in the pub- lic or separate -schools in the inspec- torate, and the appointment of these to rest with the Teachers' Association. That Canadian history be continued for en- trance classes with brief outlines of British history to the end of the Tudor period. That the present series of public school drawing books should be with -drawn and a new series issued, in which the beat draw- ings in the present licries be retained, and the blank spaces enlarged so that the draw- ings done by the pupils may ,be enlarged. -That this association recommends that caw didates holding junior leaving and higher certificates be eligible to enter the Normal „school without .attendance at the county model school. The copy book committee reported the following, which was adopted ; resolved that this association express its disapproval of the authorized system of vertical writing lately introduced for use in in our public schools, our objections being teased on the following grounds. That the shapes of the letters are not suitable for aiding expedition in writing, for instance fghpz and s are almost printed, thus re- quiring much more time than is necessary in their formation. That on account of the letters not being epaced for junior pupils, teaching uniformity in the relative heights of the letters, is made much more difficult for the teacher. That the book itself is not neatly gotten up. That by not having the letters joined, fast writing is rendered diffi- cult. That the Woks for senior classes con- tain no commercial forms. We are more- over of the opinion that the Gage's system of vertical writing meets more Tully the re- quiremente of the public schools than the authorized system. Miss Sharman then proceeded to discuss the grammatical diffi- culties in the "Forced Recruit at Sol- ferine and dealt evsith the subject in.a very pleasing and, able Manner.
