At the Thiersday 1nt-Sting "Composi-
tion," was the first subject_ diseussed.
Mr. J. S. Hogg maintained that this
subject should be commenced in the
oenior first class by object lessons, and,
followed in the higher classes:- by de-
seriptive written answers to questions;
put -by the teachere. Short stories told
,to the class to be reproduced by them
from memory was also a great help in
:this important but often neglected
brihoh of education. Messrs. Lough,
Robb, Clarkson, McFaul,Doig and Scott
.also Wok part in the discussion.
"OeegrEtphy," was taken up by Mr.
Black. He believed a general know-
ledge of the mannere, custeres, eolor,
,etc., of the inhabitants of the different
,countries of more importance than sim-
ply teaching the names of the cities, etc.
He did not believe, however, in laying
down any stated method of .teaching as
All teachers could not handle this sub-
ject similarly.
Mrs. Coulter's "Tablet Lesson" was a
eery interesting subject. She gave a
grapl4e dekcription of her manner of
presenting objects by word -pictures on
the blackboard and tablets for reviewing.
Mr. McLeod read an important paper
on "How to Obtain Order." He stated
that this question's solution often de -
Aided the success or failure of a teacher.
Firmness and decision are required.
Don't give too many commands; be kind
and sympathetic, but see that every
prder is carried out; get the sympathy
and confidence of every pupil. Have a
complete knowledge of the work taken
ay, thus securing an admiration for cor-
rectness; knowithe mind and disposition
of each pupil. A teacher, 'should be
.able to present the work so as to keep
the constant attention and employment
pf the pupils. If their work is interest-
ing there is little fear of disorder. There
should be a well defined system in all
their work. Vigilenceto prevent wrong-
eloing, and tacteto deal in the- best way
.with the different cases, areessential to
succesfed teaching. The physical -com-
fort of pnpils should, always be consi-
riered. The speaker considered that
suck offences as lying, swearing, etc.,
phould. incur corporal punishment. His
remarks were followed by several other
speakers.
In the evening a publicentertainment
was held, the principal feature of which
was am able lecture on Canadian history
by Mr. Field, of Guelph.
On Friday the first business was the
jelection of officers, which resulted as
;epeeist President, M. Black; First Vice-
president, J. G. McLeod; Second Vice -
President, Miss Wilson; Secretary, A.
Scott. An Executive Committee, con-
sisting of Misses Helyar and Killoran,
and Messrs. W. Dpig, W. R. Lough and
J. S. Hogg was appointed. Auditors,
• Messrs. Clarkson and McFaul; Provin-
cial Delegete, Mr. J. King; Dominion
Delegaete, Ate A. H. Plummer.
When followed Mr. W. Prendergast,

eellent expoeition.

discussion followed by Messrs. Prendet-
gest, Clarkson, and Robb, and much
valuable information was carried off by
the listeners.
.'Music." Mr. Plummer, ex -President,
illustrated his method of teaching music
by using a nuniber of teachers as aclass.
He adopts the tonic sol. fa. method,

notes, then increasing the number, until
the scale is thoroughly mastered. He

McKinley tariff has made the Repub=

ago. By reason of their- agressive
measures against Canada, Canadians
are not, as a man, in sympathy with the
Republican party, and we believe the

it makes very little difference on this

Canada is Perfectly able to take care of

but for his animosity shown towards
Britain when he was catering for the
Irish vote some years ago, Canadians
would like to see his ability honored.

politicians call "stale" and he was only

Cotton Goods.
Anticipating an advance in price in all lines of cotton
goods as a result of the recent combination of manufactur-
ers, we have bought largely in cottonades, denims, shirtings,
grey and white cottons, etc.; we are headquarters for these
goods.
Groceries.
In this litie we keep the highest grades of goods at the
lowest possible living prices.
Teas.
We give the Tea trade especial attention. Our Japan
at 4 and 3 lbs. fo $1 cannot be excelled. We have cheaper
and dearer lines but these are leaders.
iik WORD IN CONCLUSION:
Some think us dear because we will not COME DOWN in the price
of our goods. It is not our way of doing business. We mark all our goods in
plain figures and sell at one price to all. The poor man's $ is as good to
us as the rich man's. We cannot see any other honest way of doing busi-
ness. Our past experience convinces us that a majority of the public appreciates
fair dealing and goods as they are represented.
