HERE AND THERE.
The campaign in West 'Huron, which
may conclede with today's voting,
opened uneventfully, but its closing
days were marked by the utmost bit-
terness'and the slanderous insinuatious
bandied about will not easily be for-
gotten. •
— •
The Conservative press treated Mt..
Cameron with consideration which, we
regret to say, was not reciprocated,at
least we would infer so from his plat-
form utterances and antedeluvian dog-
ers which were scattered broadcast
throughout the riding.
, . •
One of the proprietors of the Goder-
ich Star was also attacked in the most
grossly personal manner in the
Era by Mr. Robert Hobnes, who em-
phasized his insinuations by means • of
italics. The attack was a despicable
one, only fit to be classed among bil-
linsgate or yellow journal literature,
and is condemned • by everybody. That.
such a sort of thing should have
be resorted to indicates a weak cause,
an infirm temper and no objection to
striking below • the belt.
The News-Recordhas endeavored
coeduct its share of the campaign
such a manner so as- to advance its
cause and yet . leave none of those'
stings that a-fterwards . poison friendly
intercourse. How well we have - Suc-
ceeded, or whether we have succeeded
at all, only the -future can tell: The
result at the polls this evening willbe
some indication. .

ducing .the bible in the public schools
as a text book, Ur. Delgaty did not
believe in usiug the bible. .as a text
book beca..se teachers we(e not ' all

Up of ' all denominations. But he
strongly' advocated •the teachings of
the truths and principles of the bible.
The bible . should be read and used in
devotion as at present provided but he
objected to its being used as a text
book. Mr. Strang said that he even
hesitated to explain difficult 'passages

Mr:, Holland thought the sacredness of
the' bible and its 'teachings should be

tion of all motels, but would not say
that the bible shouldbe used as -a text

ed by Mr. Johniton,. the resolution of

pressed his appreciation of the sub-

discuss the Subject of the tiresent‘pub-
lie school history being objectionable
on account of, the difficultlanguage
as declared by the O. E. A. Mr,
Johnston went fully into the matter
arid made comparisons between the
language of the present-history8.11d*

servations Mr. Johnstoti thought the
difficulty was not se much in the lan-
gimp. 'but rather a lack of. pictur-
esqueness. Mr. Strang thought the
fault with the study of history was
not in the language but if1 the quan-
tity of history that the pupil has to
go over, The quantity wo,s..too great.
air. Delgaty objected to the triode .of
paragraphing used iri the present his-
tory. Ile suggested the outlining of
(he reign by the teacher. On motion
of Mr. Strang, seconded by Mr, ..1ohn-
ston, the resolution was laid on the
table.
The Association then took up the
resolution limiting the age of admit-
ting teachers to the profession to
twenty one years. 'The subject was
discussed to a late hour by Messrs.
Holman, Strang,. Tican and others,bitt
was finally referred to the, resolution
committee, The Mine for adjourn-
inent having arrived the Association

In the evening a very successful At
Home WS held 111 the assembly twin
of the Collegiate Institute at which a.
large number of teachers and their
friends .aSsentbled. J. It Tigert, pre -
idea of the Association, presided and
delivered an exteelteat addreaa QII
operation of Home and School,"
1 which was well•zeeceived. Many ex-
cellent thoughts were contained in the
paper. In additioii. to the above 'an
excellent musical program was ren-
dered, consisting of solos by 'Messrs.
Carry, Thomson and Stoddart, which
.elicited much applause. Miss AelieSon
geve a splendid violin solo in her mas-
terful manner which received raptur-
ous applause. Messrs. Campbell and
Passmore and Miss Ethel Acheson
ably presided at the piano. An ex-
celleut address by Rev, James Ham-
ilton was well received and short live
minute addresses by Rev. J. -A. Ander-
son and Messrs. Holtnan, Johnston
and Fleming were duly appreciated
while J. S. Delgaty, assisted by
Msssrs. Strang. and Tom, gave a reci-
tation which struck a responsive cord
in the audience. Last but not least
came the excellent refreshments of
lemonade and light cake so liberally
furnished by the teachers of Goderich
and their friends.• To this part of the
program all took equal honors. At ,a
reasonable hour the affair broke up
and thus closed one of the best At
Home entertainments the teachers of
West Huron ever enjoyed. All the
teachers Were loud in their 'praise of
the kindly reception and excellent en-
tertainments given them by the teach-
ers of Goderich and citizens of the

names as being present at yesterday's
meeting.. The minutes of Thursday
afternoon a.nd evening sessions were
read and approved. -•
Miss S. J. Bell then very ably dis.
cussed " Class Methods in Arithme-
tic." This proved an excellent paper
and proved that Miss Bell had given
mach thought and care to its prepar-
ation. Some of the Main thoughts
dealt with by the paper were that
the 'simple rules should be thoroughly
•tafight and accuracy, the main results
looked for in . the junior classes ;
Problems in the junior classes should
be at first stated orally' and get the
pupils to say how' it should be done
'Without solving it. Pupils piebald al-
so be encouraged to give their, reasons
for. their method of solution. tIse con-
crete objects to illustrate problems to,

lems in the class, •asking the pupils to

POTATO EXPORTERS MADE • .
A 0001) THING.
The high prices of potatoes recefttly
ruling in the United States had, the
American Agriculturist says, the ef-
fect of =clueing American dealers to
draw upon Canada for supplies. The
Agriculturist understands that pota-
toes for export Were bought in Canada
from farmers At 72,14 to 750 per eci lb,
bag and says that choice stock of this
kind sold in New York at 51.5o per
bag. The • Agriculturist rather over-
states the prices obtained by farmers
in Ontario for their stock. Sixty five
cents per bag was the highest price
we have heard of as having been paid
at local Points in Ontario for export.
It is evident, therefore, from the pric-
es obtained in New York, that those
who bought potables for export had
a pretty good thing of it. Even if
750 was paid for the potatoes this
would leave a margin of 37Xe per bag
(less freight and cost of collection)
after providing for the first cost of
potatoes aud the payment of the duty
imposed on entering the *United States.
New potatoes front Louisaftia are
now, the Agriculturist says, cording
north in car lots and as the Southern
crop is the largest in many years
prices of potatoes for ordinary con-
sumption in the United States will,
of course, commence to go down at
onto. As the demand for seed for the
northern states is already at an end
no further demand for Ontario potit-
toeS from the United States need be
looked for attd the market price for
potatoes in Ontario for the rest of
the present season will, therelore, be
governed by the &Wand for table ase
in Canada,
