SCI -1 -)OL TEACHERS IN SESSION. Most Successful Gathering of East Huron Teachers The reenter annual meetin.e of the East Huron T.•echere' Iaetitute wee held in Wu gham Public School on rii- das and Saturday, OA 19th and 20th. The minutes of last meeting; were read and ou motion of Messrs Moffatt and Taylor were adapted. The following committees were ap- pointed: Program -Miss Brock, Messrs Leppard and McQuibban. Resolutions, Messrs. Cameron, Scott and Johns, Reporters -Messrs. Dobson and Hartley. The first paper was one ou Reading by Dr. David J. Goggin, M. A , of Toronto. After a few introductory remarks he be- gan on his subject. When a boy comes to school he has knowledge which he has acquired from his natural and social sur- roundings. In his first five years he has learned more without consaions effort than be will with conscious effort in any other five years of life. The teacher should connect his teaching with the previous knowledge of the child and should connect his teaching with the child's desire for doing. A desire for reading should be created in the child Then he 'will take an interest in his work. The teacher should strive to give the pups: power. Before the child has been a week at school he should be able to read a sentence and get its meaning will result in noble maul cod. Moved by Mr. 3. (1.

Mr. Rubb spoke at length on the new law fixing the salaries of teachers He upheld the law, and also state I that he had not received the assistance that he should, from the teachers, in his effo.t to reconcile these .ptosed to it. The ef• feet of the law he thougat would bo to brim; beck to the comity many profes- sional teachers, who hid received their model training here, from the' fact that higher salaries would result in schools prceuring professional teachers more easily than before. Continuin . he men- tioned several oriticisme he had received from trustees n the I iepectorute: Ile charaeterize.d the Speller iu use as inade- quate to the needs A. notable defect in Reading wee lack of exprteeiou, and in Penmanship insufficient use of Copy Books He deprecated the practice of giving excessive homework and urged the teachers to make allowance for the varying capacity of pupils. In concha sion he urged the teachers to live up to their agreemeute, and to deal honorably with School Boards. EVENING SESSION.

Letter writing should be. given more attention. It shonld be in - troduced in the Pt 11 .leases. That it bad received insufficient attention in the past was shown by the letter -writing of mauy teachers. In all composition work, the child should be taught first to get the thought, then to arrange it. In correcting, too many errors should not be corrected by the teacher. The child should be taught to find his own mis- take. , The only correction of any valve is the one the child makes himself. J. G. Workman, B. A., then gave an excellent address on "The new course in Geometry." The reasons for the intro- duction of the new course are: -(1) The • old course was too abstract. (2) The work was not taken up in such a way as to be related to other subjects. (3) Euclid's book is now out of date, the conrse being too burdensome and not covering enough in thefirst year. The speaker showed that some of Euolid'a propositions have been neglected, be- cause of their leak of utility and that a number of other simple ones have been used as an introduction, along with the, definitions. The introduction to the theoretical work in geometry is excel- lent. Mr. Moffatt of Seaforth then gave a five minutes' talk on Supplementary Reading and the management of school libraries. He gave a number of useful hints to the teachers, and supported most strongly the plaoing of libraries in the schools. Mr. Strachan followed with an address on "Oar Poets." He said that we are indebted to poets (more than we think) for the expression of beautiful thoughts. Ho asked if there were apy Canadian poets and if not, why not? He made a plea for more study of the Canadian poste. Int discussion, Mr. Cameron said that it was the duty of the teacher to make himself familiar with good books before asking the children to read them, Dr. Goggin said that it was a matter of re- gret that Oanadian writers were desert- ing their country for the prospect of success which they could never attain at home. The Committee on Resolutions brought in its report as follows: • Re- solved - (1) That a hearty vote of thanks be tendered to the Wingham School Board for the use of the school. (2) That a hearty vote of thanks be tendered the Wingham Council for the use of the Town. Hall. "(3) • That a hearty vote of thanks be tendered Dr. Goggin for his most valued addresses during the sessions, and also for his eloquent lecture in the Town Hall.

Toronto, Oct 22 -The ran at the City Cattle Market to -day was 195 loads, with 1,800 head of (rattle, 2,466 sheep and lambs, 900 hogs and 150 calves. With a very heavy run of over a hun- dred cars to -day, at the City Cattle Market, on top of a large run at the Junction yards yesterday, trade was slow for a large proporition of the light rough cattle that offered too pl.�ntifully this week. For good quality cattle the market holds steady to fair. It was said in fact that the choicest butcher cattle were higher to -day than the same quality of cattle last week. For the - commoner stuff, however, there was a decidedly draggy tone to the market. The bulk of the tradiug today was for the best feeders, for which there is still a v ry active demand.
