Mr. P. *effete of DashWoed, dealt with the subject of History for Entrance and. -Lower School. He claims the present texts are confus- ing to the pupils beyond their grasp, and as, such, cause the pupils to de- test the suject: To,overeome the en' ed' vin difficulty, he recomin d giving notes. The course, he Considers too long for Entrance pupils. The hooks are so 'arranged that facts required to be learned are so hidden on the pages that it is, difficult to find them. These books were strongly condemned by all teachers present - and expres- sions of disapproval were 'heard on all sides. Heated discussions follow. ed by Messrs. Milliken, Howard, Tom, Johnston and Mawson. The next on the program was "The Value' of Little Things in the School Room," taken by Inspector Tom. He pointed out that pupils in the same class should be seated apart in order to secure individual work, that in cla :s they should be spaced and lined eight or ten feet from the teacher and that teachers should insist on neat work. Slate; or exercise books should be properly prepared with heading and margin in each subject. Reading should receive special atten- tion and pupils should be taught to read nothing but, the best books available. Lighting, heatingand ventilating the school should be close- Iy watched.

Plica ' ward pupils should be encouraged by the Teacher's word of approval in order to stimulate greater effort. Miss M. McKellar, of Winchelsea, gave a paper on Primary Work. She would make the beginners feel at home the first morning of their ar- rival and let them know that the teacher is their friend. She suggested songs, Bible stories, etc., to interest them. Sounds of the letters are in- troduced one by one till the whole alphabet has been taken. Writing should be given on the B.B. and the class may be allowed to pick words out of the work on B. B. for other grades. Numbers are taken similar- ly. She recommends examining of finger nails and teeth every morning' and if neglect is found, deducting a mark in each case.. The paper was well received. Mies L. McCulloch, of Winchelsea, then gave a talk on Summer School for teachers. These eourses enable teachers to refresh 'their store of knowledge especially along new lines of study. Another benefit derived is the broadening of acquaintances with fellow -teachers from all over the country. Teachers by these cours- es may rise to a higher standard in the profession. Discussion followed by Messrs. Milliken and Johnston. Thursday Afternoon. Minutes were read and confirmed. Inspector Tom dealt with the right and wrong solutions in Arithmetic. He illustrated on the blackboard the proper way of doing problems. He insisted on teachers taking frequent mental arithmetic drills and giving easy problems to all grades. Miss Pearce, the School Nurse, spoke along the line of Health Rules and showed the teachers how to fill out themedical cards, now requited. She strongly recommended the Jun- ior Red Cross, as a means of teach- ing Hygiene and other kindred sub- jects. Mr. George W. Hofferd, of London Normal School, gave his lecture on Project Problems in Teaching. This subject created a great deal of inter- est as was shown by -the rapt atten- tion. The plan may be used in any subject. In. Geography, for instance, e number of pictures, illustrating Canadian forests, woods, animals, bird's, etc., is collected and arranged in book form, the work being done by the pupils under the supervision of the teacher. Later essays may be written on any of these illustrations. This plan applies to any school sub- jeets.. The 'results of such teaching ,create interest among the pupils, re- moves ,the monotony and leads the class into open field of discovery. Miss M. E. Rosa, of the local High School, gave an instructive and in- spiring talk on "The King's English." She commented on the fact that, while in other branches, such as, transportation, invedtlpn, manufac- turing, etc., great advances have been Trade, no progress in the use of good English can be noted. The same old slang expressions, heard in the days of our ancestors, are still in common use and to these many new ones such as "P11 tell the world,' are being ad- ded to our language.

Mawson, and M. C. Milliken Rev. A. A. Trumpets; a member of the Exeter Board of Education, spoke to the assembled teac'lers for a few minutes. He reminded the teachers of the nobility of their calling, the opportunities afforded them of" build- ing a nation and of thea responsibility resting on each teac er. • Mr. E. J. Wethey. M.A., principal of the Exeter High School, dealt with the 1923 Grammar anld, Composition papers. He .wept over, the questions one by one and explained the method adopted by the Entrance Board in the marking of these papers. He' also calted. attention to- the weak points noted in the answer papers. ',Friday Afternoon.. 'the minutes of thhe- morning - ses- sion were adopted. Mr. R. Stone- hquse took the subject Of Art, and gave his method of dealing with the subject. Re believed the putting on of - Art for Entrance in 1924 will have a. good effect on the work done in our classes. Discussion followed by Messrs. Milliken, Howard, Tom and Mawson, all of whom agreed in that better work is being done thus far in the term. The a, ditors' report showed a good balance to the credit of the teachers, The 'pages of advertisements taken with us reduces our expenditure con- siderably. Misses Bailie and Murray discussed the Promotion Papers and pointed out some of the defects of ]these testts They agreed that these papers should -not be the only guide tot teachers in promoting, but that the year's work should be considered of equal importance. Messrs. Tom and McKay then an- swered the n- sweredthe queries submitted by the teachers in, the question drawer. The Resolution Committee then presented its report. They are as follows;— L Resolved that the Public School History course is too extensive, and that the Canadian History only should be taken in the public school. 2. Resolved that Hygiene should be retained on the Public School course but made more practical than here- tofore, when the course is revised as suggested by, the Minister of Educa- tion. 3. Resolved that the Department of Education request the Superan- nuation Committee to send out! re- ports to the teachers, showing ex- actly who receives pensions and how much each receives. •(a) Resolved that in the opinion of the West`Huron Teachers' Assoc- iatiou, tdiee Superannuatioe .allowance to.ney-teaeher should be continued after,;delth..to his or her surviving depend'` t'sturing life. - (b)' Thi a copy of this resolution be sent to the Minister or Education, the Secretary of the Inspectors' and •Teachers' Superannuation Board, Chas, G. Fraser and R. W. Doan, secretaries of the O. E. A., and to the secretary of each 'Teachers' As- sociation in Ontario, with the ;re- quest that it he brought up at the next meeting of his sr her associa- tion,: and a resolution be passed af- firming the thought of this associa- tion; said resolution to be forwarded to the same four aforementioned persons in Toronto. Mr. G. W. Hofferd took up the subject of Correlation of the Public School Studios. Ile showed how all subjects of the curriculum may be correlated. In spelling he suggested that misspelled words should he kept on the blackboard and frequently re- viewed. Correlation corrects the shallownesa of studies and binds to- gether the whole course. It pro- ceeds from the known to the un- known, associates one subject with the other, and tends to unite the pupil's activities in and out of school. The paper was a good one. Mr. ,G. Mawson then presented the idea cif taking ' our 1924- convention This will be the biggest dem- onstration of alae purchasing power. of $1 that this store has ever made,; Value up to 88.00 will be on sale for $1A9. • Fred S.

He claimed that. not enough interest was shown in Strathcona work. ' More Physical cul- ture should be put on at School' Fairs. Medals will be offered for the best rifle shots. Mr. Prendergast, London, spoke of the difficulties of teaching Geography, especially for young teachers. Desi tions were pften vague and in many cases the .definition did• not give any reel idea to the child of the actual thing, or example:. A desert is a' tract of land lacking moisture which caus- es the barrenness, not just merely, a barren tract of land'.. We should em` phasize the human side of Geography in all our teaching. Report of the O. E. A. Mr. Sloman gave his summary of the° Easter meeting in Toronto. • He showed that something is wrong in the educational system; there is too much talk, not enough thinking. Everyone has a lesson for us. Tryy to see what the speaker' means, not what he says. When you go out to your school to teach, leave yourself on those children; it is all you have to give. Exams are not the highest aim of time. Individual teaching; is all important, class teaching almost im- possible. The teacher •must be a sacrifice on the altar of pedagogy., Mr. Prendergast gave the .next address on Cgmposition. Style is what counts in composition Too much time is' devoted by most 'teach- ers in correcting errors in grammar and spelling, and the matter of style is entirely neglected. Every Fein- -position should . show .exactly what the wit,, - intends t¢q�y 3 n " Iffifi cert on TAISr'sday eveningr was a decided success.

A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered the Managing Board of Main Street Church for the use of -the church, the committee who provided for the evening. entertainment, the citizens of town who so kindly open- ed their homes to the teachera dur- ing the convention, the retiring com- mittee for its year's service, and each and all who contributed items on the programme for the day ses- sions, and fer the evening entertain- ment. The singing of the National An- them - brought the convention to a close. The number of teachers pres- ent was 125. • M. C. Milliken, President. -G. S. Howard, Secretary. EAST HURON TEACHERS' CONVENTION AT BLYTH The fiftieth annual convention of the East Huron Teachers' Institute was held in the Memorial Hall, Blyth, Announcement. m The Rexall Drug Store, -formerly owned ed op- erated at Seaforth by , E. Umbach, Phm. B., is now known as the Sea - forth Pharmacy, under the personal supervis- ion sof J. E. Keating, Phm.

Strong, President for the year, Miss Edna Jamieson, the Vice -President, occupied the chair. This was the largest convention ever held in East Huron, there being 131 teachers pres- ent. The opening exercises were con- ducted by Rev. Mr. Hawkins, after which Dr. Milne gave an address of welcome. He referred to his own experience in the profession, and re- minded the teachers that they were much better off at the present time. Ile said he always had the interests of teachers and education at heart, and would do all in his power to help the work at all times. The records' of the last convention were read and adopted. Miss Carter, of Clinton, gave her paper ,on Primary Work. She very clearly outlined the best method of dealing with the beginners. Encour• age them to come; keep up the spirit of rivalry in work. The teacher of- ten is the one to blame for a noisy room. Punishments should be made to suit the offence and not too On Friday morning the election of officers was held, resulting as fol- lows: Past President, Miss Edna Jamie- son, Winthrop. President. Mr. Ashton Morrison. Vice-president, Miss Buchanan. Secretary -Treasurer, Foster T. Fowler, Seaforth. Librarian, Dr. Field. Executive Committee, Norman Geddes, Joseph Moylan, Miss Alice Knechtel, and the Staff of Seaforth Public School. Auditors, Robert Beattie, Fred Fowler. Delegate to O.E.A., Mr. Johns. Miss Worsel outlined the uses of pictures in the class room. Her sub- ject was listened to with great in- terest by the teachers. She used several pictures and showed how art, literature and composition are cor- related. No child is satisfied to see d beautiful picture without wanting to speak about it. There is the pos- sibility, of Composition. Many pic- tures have good moral lessons in them. Her address was really a great help to those present in the teaching of the difficult subject of art. Mr. Bfssonnette, of Seaforth Col- legiate staff, gave a very instructive address on Insect Control. Ipsects destroy at least ten per cent. of the crops, causing enough loss to pay the taxes of the country. Studs tsshould study the damage done, then the hab- its of the insects, and plan their de- struction. Insects were divided into four classes; Biters, Suckers, Borers and Migratory Insects.

She read a Composition' hp one of her pupils, only twelve years old, giving an excellent deseription of a sunset.

Children are often blamed for accidents at recess, when it is not their fault. They should have organized games. He spoke of his work in St.. Columban, how the chil- dren had aided him in hie efforts, un- til success had come their way. Ile spoke of the football games .with other teams and the education that resulted. At the close of Mr. Moylan's ad- dress, an organization for the pro- motion of school sports in Huron was discussed. Dr. Field then spoke on grants, placing of teachers in schools, and other matters.
