In an excellent address she explained the Way in which she taught the sub- ject. Attention should first be given to the position of the pupil while writing. Cuts in .the writing course show these clearly. The four points on the first page are very important. The teacher should see that all work of the pupil should be neatly done. The best pens, ink and paper should be used. The lessoif should be about 15 or 20 minutes in length taken each day partly at the board and partly in the seats. Beginners should be taught entirely from the board. The writing courses should be followed. • About half an hour is the correct time for a lesson. Inspector Tom commended espec- ially the work done by Miss Weston's pupils. He thought lead --pencils should be used instead of pes until the pupils were advanced in writing, The pens should be dull pointed for easy writing. Mr. A. Stevenson, B.A. Peed., of the London Normal SChool, dis- cussed the subject of common errors in the teaching of grammar. Be first emphasized the fact that grammar deals with sentences rather than single words. Etymology should be taught by explaining the origin of some familiar words. The speaker then showed there were many defin- itions taught in grarinnar that were absolutely untrue. In teaching the sentences he would make them as simple as possible. The address crea- ted considerable interest and a num- ber of questions were lucidly answer- ed by the Jecturetr. Inspector Tom spoke on notes by the way. He explained that in divid- ing the .$250,000 voted by the De- partment to assist' in raising teach- er's salaries, those schools that paid salaries of 500 to $599 received a greent of five per cent, on all above $500. Sections paying $700 received 20 per cent, on $200, i.e., $40; those paying $800 received 30 per cent, on $300 of a grant of $9.0. Thus any school 'section that pays a salary of $800 or over receives a grant of 30 per cent. on all above $500. One rural school section in West Huron paying a salary of $1,000 re- ceived a grant -of $172.50, because 15 per cent. was' added to all the pre- ceding amounts. Mr. Tom also ex- plained a number of matters of in- terest to teachers. One rural section pays their teach- er a salary of $1,050, and receive a grant of $18975 on the salary paid. ' THURSDAY AFTERNOON The minutes of the forenoon ses THURSDAY EVENING SESSION Inspector Tom occupied the chair. Mr. Beavers, Reeve of Exeter, in a neat speech, given in his usual hap- py manner, extended a -hearty wel- come to the teachers and wished them a profitable, convention. Mr. R. Redmond delivered the President's address taking as his theme, The Improvement of the School Sections. In a pleasant manner he logically pres ented in choice language the claims of this important matter upon the teacher. He held that the teachers should be ,a power • in the- section to help on this good work We 11ave a country so fertile and diversified in surface that it lends itself to aid the man who would beautify. Added beauty means added wealth. plea- sure and enjoyment. 'He would -have teachers start with the chool grounds and surroundings and then pass on to individual farmer's prem- ises ending up with the whole sec- tion. In a six weeks trip during the past summer through otir western provinces and several of the States of the Union he saw no country to equal the rich farming lands of South Huron. The _address ewah a good one. Mr. Stevenson Jexcelled himself in his address on Literature and Life. As a measure towards making life worth livingi he recommended a 1 Resolutions of regret were passed study of good literature.

Representative, spoke on school fairs., He advised early organization for next year. It should .net , be later than January. The sympathy of the teacher is essential. There is. sm limit to the teacher's influence in making. for success. Funds for prizes should be collected locally from friends and, unieipai grants. Teachers sboldd aim at having to .or tweiva,schools united in one fair. Pupils should be. shown that the best articles aren't al- ways the largest. Training along this, line will be very valuable to children. The address created considerable in- terest and many questions were ask- ed and answered. Miss Ida Taylor submitted an ex- , cellent paper on History for Entrance classes. The paper showed forth the value of history in training future cit- izens to become intelligent, honorable and patriotic, with a proper concep- tion of what they owe their land. We must seek to make the subjeet real and intensely interesting. The niethod of teaching should be the n1ost ef- fective. There should be constant tests by examinations. Miss H. Kinsman took up Care tSf School Grounds and School Decora- tion, and said that if we wish pupils to grow up with an appreciation of nature we should consult them, as to plans, color schemes, etc., for _grounds and gardens. Plants should 'be kept in the room, pictures on walls; the Perry pictures are good. Neat ami happy faces are the best decorations. Mr. E. J. Wethey discussed a 1111M- ber of short methods in aritlunetiea that were useful and interesting. Votes of thanks were passed to the Exeter School Board, for the use of the school, and to the retiring offieers. The singing of the National Anthers. brought a very successful convention to a. close. that are disheartening or unprofit- able. Instead of running after the movies and other equally useless , things men and women should ,cul- tivate an appreciation of good liter- ature in all its various phases, as for example the literature' of humor. Mr. Stevenson gave many good examples of humor. He illustarted the litera- ture of power by reciting one of Mrs Barrett Browning's poems from the Portuguese describing the. growth of love for Robert, Browning under the • picture of a flower. In memorizing he would choose something suitable ' for the class. The teacher should appreciate it. He should teach his children to appreciate it. It should then be taken as a reading lessen, after which the pupils should mem- orize it. In early poems alliteration was an outstanding feature, as well as the use of musical consonants. Literature should be a -source of pleasure and inspiration. As an in- stance of the latter he quoted Mar- shall Foch's famous statement at the battle of the Marne, when he an- nounced, "My centre is retreating, my right is broken, the situation is ex- cellent, I shall attack at once." He urged everyone to read, "The Blessed Demoiselle." It is only on rare occa- sions audiences have the privilege of listening to such an inspiring address. The Rev. A-. A. Trumper, a mem- ber of the Exeter School Board be- ing present, was called upon and gave a short inspiring address on the work of the teacher and welcom- ed the convention to Exeter. Solos by Misses Huston and Mon - cur and Mrs. Wright, a piano solo by Miss Coates and a violin selec- tion by the president, Mr. Redmond, added much to the pleasure of the evening. A dainty luncheon, prepared by the Exeter teachers, was enjoyed ;_=:-Itmar-2------= -_-_--- 7niirty-• it ELI" • 111111 iill 111111( 1111111 Ill 111111 Hill, 111111 111111i 1111111 1 111 Hill MI 1 11 11 II CARDNO'S OPERA HALL '03 .

In an excellent address she explained the Way in which she taught the sub- ject. Attention should first be given to the position of the pupil while writing. Cuts in .the writing course show these clearly. The four points on the first page are very important. The teacher should see that all work of the pupil should be neatly done. The best pens, ink and paper should be used. The lessoif should be about 15 or 20 minutes in length taken each day partly at the board and partly in the seats. Beginners should be taught entirely from the board. The writing courses should be followed. • About half an hour is the correct time for a lesson. Inspector Tom commended espec- ially the work done by Miss Weston's pupils. He thought lead --pencils should be used instead of pes until the pupils were advanced in writing, The pens should be dull pointed for easy writing. Mr. A. Stevenson, B.A. Peed., of the London Normal SChool, dis- cussed the subject of common errors in the teaching of grammar. Be first emphasized the fact that grammar deals with sentences rather than single words. Etymology should be taught by explaining the origin of some familiar words. The speaker then showed there were many defin- itions taught in grarinnar that were absolutely untrue. In teaching the sentences he would make them as simple as possible. The address crea- ted considerable interest and a num- ber of questions were lucidly answer- ed by the Jecturetr. Inspector Tom spoke on notes by the way. He explained that in divid- ing the .$250,000 voted by the De- partment to assist' in raising teach- er's salaries, those schools that paid salaries of 500 to $599 received a greent of five per cent, on all above $500. Sections paying $700 received 20 per cent, on $200, i.e., $40; those paying $800 received 30 per cent, on $300 of a grant of $9.0. Thus any school 'section that pays a salary of $800 or over receives a grant of 30 per cent. on all above $500. One rural school section in West Huron paying a salary of $1,000 re- ceived a grant -of $172.50, because 15 per cent. was' added to all the pre- ceding amounts. Mr. Tom also ex- plained a number of matters of in- terest to teachers. One rural section pays their teach- er a salary of $1,050, and receive a grant of $18975 on the salary paid. ' THURSDAY AFTERNOON The minutes of the forenoon ses THURSDAY EVENING SESSION Inspector Tom occupied the chair. Mr. Beavers, Reeve of Exeter, in a neat speech, given in his usual hap- py manner, extended a -hearty wel- come to the teachers and wished them a profitable, convention. Mr. R. Redmond delivered the President's address taking as his theme, The Improvement of the School Sections. In a pleasant manner he logically pres ented in choice language the claims of this important matter upon the teacher. He held that the teachers should be ,a power • in the- section to help on this good work We 11ave a country so fertile and diversified in surface that it lends itself to aid the man who would beautify. Added beauty means added wealth. plea- sure and enjoyment. 'He would -have teachers start with the chool grounds and surroundings and then pass on to individual farmer's prem- ises ending up with the whole sec- tion. In a six weeks trip during the past summer through otir western provinces and several of the States of the Union he saw no country to equal the rich farming lands of South Huron.

Representative, spoke on school fairs., He advised early organization for next year. It should .net , be later than January. The sympathy of the teacher is essential. There is. sm limit to the teacher's influence in making. for success. Funds for prizes should be collected locally from friends and, unieipai grants. Teachers sboldd aim at having to .or tweiva,schools united in one fair. Pupils should be. shown that the best articles aren't al- ways the largest. Training along this, line will be very valuable to children. The address created considerable in- terest and many questions were ask- ed and answered. Miss Ida Taylor submitted an ex- , cellent paper on History for Entrance classes. The paper showed forth the value of history in training future cit- izens to become intelligent, honorable and patriotic, with a proper concep- tion of what they owe their land. We must seek to make the subjeet real and intensely interesting. The niethod of teaching should be the n1ost ef- fective. There should be constant tests by examinations. Miss H. Kinsman took up Care tSf School Grounds and School Decora- tion, and said that if we wish pupils to grow up with an appreciation of nature we should consult them, as to plans, color schemes, etc., for _grounds and gardens. Plants should 'be kept in the room, pictures on walls; the Perry pictures are good. Neat ami happy faces are the best decorations. Mr. E. J. Wethey discussed a 1111M- ber of short methods in aritlunetiea that were useful and interesting. Votes of thanks were passed to the Exeter School Board, for the use of the school, and to the retiring offieers. The singing of the National Anthers. brought a very successful convention to a. close. that are disheartening or unprofit- able. Instead of running after the movies and other equally useless , things men and women should ,cul- tivate an appreciation of good liter- ature in all its various phases, as for example the literature' of humor. Mr. Stevenson gave many good examples of humor. He illustarted the litera- ture of power by reciting one of Mrs Barrett Browning's poems from the Portuguese describing the. growth of love for Robert, Browning under the • picture of a flower. In memorizing he would choose something suitable ' for the class. The teacher should appreciate it. He should teach his children to appreciate it. It should then be taken as a reading lessen, after which the pupils should mem- orize it. In early poems alliteration was an outstanding feature, as well as the use of musical consonants. Literature should be a -source of pleasure and inspiration. As an in- stance of the latter he quoted Mar- shall Foch's famous statement at the battle of the Marne, when he an- nounced, "My centre is retreating, my right is broken, the situation is ex- cellent, I shall attack at once." He urged everyone to read, "The Blessed Demoiselle." It is only on rare occa- sions audiences have the privilege of listening to such an inspiring address. The Rev. A-. A. Trumper, a mem- ber of the Exeter School Board be- ing present, was called upon and gave a short inspiring address on the work of the teacher and welcom- ed the convention to Exeter. Solos by Misses Huston and Mon - cur and Mrs. Wright, a piano solo by Miss Coates and a violin selec- tion by the president, Mr. Redmond, added much to the pleasure of the evening. A dainty luncheon, prepared by the Exeter teachers, was enjoyed
