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.

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.

After dinner the question drawer .proved of much interest, after which Time and Measures" was introduced by1M.r. Geo. Anderson.

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, •first drilling thoroughly on one or two notes, then increasing the number, until the scale is thoroughly mastered. He ecePlaineetaceent and tune by In- troducing simple exercises. Mr -Enna-. iner also answered several questions i. eut effect, his -opponent being chosen on the first ballot. It does not follow that President Harrison will be his own suc- cessor in the White House, however, for the Democrats are very strong, and theli McKinley tariff has made the Repub= can party much weaker than fourryears 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 joy will be more general here if a Dem- ocrat is elected next November, although it makes very little difference on this side of the line which way it goes as Canada is Perfectly able to take care of itself. Mr. Blaine is undoubtedly the ablestpoliticiah in the United States, and 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. He has been so many times in the field for the candiary that he is getting what politicians call "stale" and he was only able to secure 190 votes—the same number as McKinley -- at last weeks convention. The Demacratic convention has not yet been held, but their choice is between Cleveland, Hill and one or two others The New York, Ontario, and Western Railway Company has mortgaged all its rights, privileges, franchises, rolling stock, --leases, etc., to the Mercantile Trust Company as trustee to secure bonds due June 1, 1902, for 120,000,000 Vorcl-vv-1.olk • Roller • Mills.
