Nest Huron Teacher's Association, The West Huron Teachers' Associa- on met in the Collegiate Institute, Goderiob, pursuant to the oall of the Executive Committee. S. J. A. Boyd, President, in the chair. The minutes of last meeting at Exe- ter were read, and on motion of E. J. Hagen, seconded by Inspector Tom, adopted. ' The following committees were then appointed by the President: - Auditors -Messrs. Hagen and Brown, Resolution Coinmittee-Messrs. Mc- Donald, Howard and Baird, 11Jisses Robs ertson and MoClusky. Thos. G. Allin was oalled upon to present the subject of teaching commer- cial work to senior classes. Mr. Allin gave a splendid address on this subject, and his remarke were bigh- ty appreciated. The question was fur- ther discussed by Messrs. Tom, S. P. Halls, Delgaty, Boyd, and Miss McLel- lan . The question in R. A. Gray's circu- lar was then discussed by the teachers in general, as were also topios of gener. al interest. 11 was moved by Inspector Tom, sec- onded by J. S. Delgaty, that iu the opin- ion of this Association, arithmetic and grammar should be replaced on the ex- amination course for Junior and Senior Leaving certificated, and that only one language he required at these examine. tions. The resolution was adopted. The next topic of discussion was, the care of children's eyes. Mr•. Tom introduced the question and suggested the following as the chief causes of ins jury to children's eyes, viz. (a) Small writing on the blackboard and sitting in wrong positions. (b) The blackboard not a proper color. (c) Studying with poor lamplight or holding the book in improper position, with reference to the light. (d) Scribblers not good for the eyes. (e) Pupils hold the books too near the eyes. (f) Pupils admitted to school too soon after suffering from any disease which has proved injurious to the eyes. This subject was very ably discussed by a large number of teachers. The next topic of discussion was whether it was advisable to retain both the Entrance and P. S. Leaving exami- nations or not. 'Phis subject was very fully discussed by Messrs. Anderson, Delgaty, Strang, Boyd and Brown. Mr, Fred MoTeggart introduced a discussion on teaching verb phrases. Mr. McTaggart stated the difficulties he had experienced in teaching this most difficult point of grammar, instanced his method of introducing this subject to a class, and then lett the matter open for further discussion. Mr. Strang was called on, and dealt with the sub- ject in his usual exhaustive style, to the great satisfaction of the teachers. Part one of the program consisted of addresses by the following gentlemen : Rev's. Edge and Godwin, Messrs. Jor- dan, Ball, trusteea,of the High and Pub- lic schools respectively and 1). McGilli• cuddy. The president, Mr. S. J. A. Boyd, occupied the chair and delivered his annual address. Mr. Boyd's sub- ject was, "Have Teachers any Inffuk, ence or Professional Spirit Left?" The address was a splendid effort and Mr. Boyd was highly complimented by the speakers that followed. The following distinguished perform- ers furnished the musical part of the program, and their efforts were greatly appreciated : Mrs. Logan, Mies Cam- paigne, Miss McCall, Miss Whitney and Mr. Stoddart. Part two of the program consisted of refreshments furnished by the teachers of Goderich and their friends. We can- not too highly commend the hospitality and good will of the teachers and peo• ple of Goderich of which the teachers of West Huron have always enjoyed abun- ant evidence. The committee, Messrs. Halls and Grant and Misses Charles, Burritt and Sharman, and those who assisted them, deserve the highest praise for the successful manner in whioh they carried out the arrange- ments to the enjoyment, comfort and satisfaction of all. The association met Saturday at 9 a. m., the president occupying the chair. Moved by A. J. Moore, B: A., secon- ded by S. P. Halls, M. A., that the minutes be adopted, and that the presi- dent's address be, published in the local papers and also in some papers or magazines having provincial circulation so that it may reach the great body of teachers in Ontario. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Malcolm McDonald then very ably discussed "Teaching Mathemati- cal Geography." Mr. McDonald deliv' erect an eloquent. and practical address on this important subject. The man- ner in which he dealt with this matter would have a tendency to stimulate the teachers to renewed interest and ener- gy in this part of school work. Mr. G. W. Iloiman then introduced a discussion on the distribution of the continuation grant and expressed his disapproval of the method in vogue at present. The question was further dis- cussed by Messrs. Ilagen, Martin, Brown and Tom. Messrs. Martin, Allen and Delgaty were added to the resolution commit- tee. It was moved by Mr. Johnston, secs onded by Mr, Lawrence, that the Asso• elation adopt the principal recom- mendation in the President's address, of dividing Lhe.inspectorate into a cer- tain number of divisions, and in accord- ance with' the above resolution the fol- lowing committee was appointed toar- range the details of such a division :- Messrs. Anderson, Brown, Johnston, Lawrence, halls, Hamwell, and Miss Sharman. The election of president, vice-presi- dent and secretary -treasurer was then proceeded with and resulted as fol- lows :- President --IT. N. Anderson, Exeter, Vice•President-Miss C. A. Boyd, Carlow. Secretary -Treasurer -G. W. Idolman, Bayfield. The resolutions presented by circular from the Ontario Teachers' kssooiation were then brought forward, discussed, and several amendments made there• to. -- Mr. 3. C. Martin discussed the case of School helps. He was followed by Mr. R. E. Brown. Both gentlemen dis- cussed the question very fully and in- telligently. Several of the teachers took part in the discussion, and the fol- lowing resolution was adopted by the association. Tliat this Association desires to call the attention of the Minister of Educa• tion to the extensive and increasing use THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. of school helps as furnishing clear evi- dence that the text books in many of the subjects have been found by teach- era to be unsatisfactory and insuflioier.t to prepare candidates successfully for examination.

Miss C. A. l3oyd then dealt with "Primary Number 'Teaching" and show ed by the manner in which she discuss- ed the subject that she had bestowed much thought on the work of develop- ing the young mind in the science of Number. The subject was further dis• cussed by Messsrs. Strang and Tom. The number of" teachers in attend' ante during the session was 86. Moved by A. J. Moore, B. A., recon• ded by Mr. Hagan, that it is the opinion of the Association there should be one County Board of Examiners for each county to examine the Entrance and Public School Leaving, viz., the P. S. Inspectors, the Principals of the High Schools, and two members to be elect- ed by each Association each year. The resolution was adopted. REPORT OF RE3OLL'TION COMMITTE1. 1. Resolved that in the opinion of this association, the Educational De- partment be urgently requested to sub. stitute the Double entry system of Book Keeping for the Single entry course at present prescribed and fur tiler that the course of Book Keeping for public schools be greatly simplified. Resolved that this association be strongly of opinion that the junior drawing books at present prescribed sh ould he replaced -by others modelled alter the drawings by Mr. Casselman, appearing in the. Educational Teacher. '1.'hat the present series of public schools drawing books be withdrawn, and a new series prepared, consisting largely of blank pages, with a few well executed models for pupils to see, not to copy ; said series to be accompanied by a teacher's manual, illustrating and explaining the work in detail. Resolved that in the op;nion of this assooiation, the meetings of the Institu' tion he held in the future on Thursday and Friday of each year with the privil• edge of extending said meeting to Satur- day if deemed necessary, and further that they be held during the Autumn term providing the Executive get per'. Mission from the county council to do BO. That this association desires to exs press its strong regret that the Minister of Education has not seen fit to grant the public school teachers due repre- sentation on the Educational Council, and its conviction that no representa- tion will be considered satisfactory un• less the teachers are allowed to elect their own representatives. That we consider the regulations res- pecting continuation classes unfair and also such that it is possible to secure a share of the grant without doing bona tide Primary work. We respectfully re- quest the Minister of Education to make the following changes in said regu- lations. 1. That the qualification of Principal in schools in classes (a) and (b) be a First or a Second Class certifioate and in class (c) at least Junior Leaving standing. '2.

Sheep and Lambe -Small offerings kept the market firm and last Tuesday's figures rule mostly. Shipping sheep fetch 5o to 51c per Ib fur yearlings and 31 to 4o for good sheep including ewes and wearers, and 3o to 310 for bucks. Spring lambs are steady at from 163 to 104 each, Calves --Offerings and demand light. Quotations rule from $2 to $5.50. Some choice veals fetch a little higher, Milch Cows and Springers -Dairymen want a few cows of good quality. Prides rule from $25 to $40 mostly, some choice well forward springers going slightly higher. Hogs -Although offerings were fairly heavy the market held firm at from $5 $5.10 per cwt for choice singers, weigh- ed oft' the care.
