She then. showed t nat these may be, taught through the ex- ample �f the teacher and his inter- couree with -the 'pupils. Mr. J. :W. Hogarth discussed the relation , of children' to parents and thought the best way to 'help the children to see their proper relation to their 'parents, would be by means ol anecdotes and references in litera- ture. He thought the parents were chiefly to blame for having their children treat thein with disrespect but yet thought :the teacher should do his best to counteract any failure on./ the part of the ;parents. He con- sidered that obeAience should be. taught before the child knew' the res- on- for it but that Motives Should be given as soon as the cbild ca -re under- stand it, especially the fifth com- mandment as given in DeeteronomY 6-16, 'promising long life to I the °bed -- lent, Mr. Trewartha, gaveusa leaf from his own experience in school work. , He taught honestly by eSample placing memory gems on the hoard, by keeping a very -watchful -careover the children in the schoolroom: and school yard and by incidental talks. J. H. Lowery felt the pupils should be taught or trained inciden- tally in all matters relating to man- ners and morals. He weuld teacrt !patriotism as theopportunity opened. Patriotism is fostered by teaching the geography end history of Canada well without forgetting those of the Empire, by explaining the Union Jack and the sacredness of the ballot box. Miss -Consitt would teach niorale and manners by personal example. In order to reach e difficult case she felt there Must be heart touching. Mr. Fleming introduced the dig - master' on -how to secure proper treatment of subjects in course of -study but not on tor examination. He thought that literature and history especially Should not have been left off the examination. These subjects are neglected ;because they are not on for examination. Some teachers are not teaching them because they are not able to teach them. The pupils are ..not interested in these subjects and therefore neglect -them. The great remedy for these defects is an exam- ination. The question drawer contained ques- tions on a great variety of subjects and were answered very fully by In- spector Torn and Mr. Strang. Resolutions were naeleed recom- mending- that the address of Inspector Morn - on Child Training '• delivered at the evening session and 'the 'paper read by Miss Gregory on "What a teacher can and may 'do to improve this status," lee published in the C01,111- . Miss 'S. Gregory read an excellent paper on what a teacher can and may do to improve his status. It is impossible to do ample justice to this paper In a, bare outline Of the points. Besides other thotights Miss Gregory held that the. teaCher should seek the elevation of this standing in the cs- teem of the 'public and his school - board in, his own school and within 'himself. The teacher should remem- ber the maxim, "To go no further upward, come what" may," is mental suicide. To raise his status he should give the best service of which he is able, niaking his. services indispen- sablegive heed to all virtues,- em- ploy Accuracy in thinking, quickness in perception, scope in imagination, ete, and shotild not forge his phy- Beal well- :being.
