to the present year, and to the good
influence the Queen has exerted during
her reign, and thairogress that has
been made in all branched of art and
science especially in the branch Edu-
cation,'he proceeded to his subject[ and
advocated a spites's Of uniforin, . single
textbooks in all subjects, condemning
freely the present multiplicity of text-
books. He considered that education.

at said A.ssoeiation, and paid a high
compliment to the ability of Mr. H. I:
Strang, B. A., giving a resume .of the
salient points of the address delivered
by him as president of the Provincial
Teachers'Association and praisitig un-
stintedly the outspoken frankness with
which he oritized some of.the late acts
of the Department, He also,explain-
ed A resolution that he lied introduced
at the Provincial Association regard-
ing a change initie apportionment of
the Legisiative Grant. •
• Mr. J. E. Toin, P: S., dealt with
school management, nientioning first
thatdhe schools wersemuch better man-
aged now than they previously were.
Tie considered that a teacher should
be physically, intellectually and mor-
ally fit for his position. •He should be
careful of his character, and should im-
prove his mind by continuous and sys-
tematic study and reading He should
attend to the moral and iesthetio train-
ing of his pupils, see that they came
clean and tidy to school, and try to
make the the schoolhouse and grounds
pleasant by having flowers in beds, or
in puts in the window, and see that no
litter or dirt was allowed to remain in
eelsool or yard. Children required syra-
pathetict aud kindly treatment, but
should not be petted too muct Neither
should 'they be flogged excessively.
Persistent flogging generally showed
that the teacher lacked power to con-
trol the school. In accepting schools,
teachers, especially young teachers`
should not take schools too heavy for
them, but should try to get schools
suitable ,for their age aud experience.
A few questioris weie asked Mr. Tom,
and then the Association proceeded to
ballot for officers for the ensuing year.
The election resulted as follows: Pres-
ident, NS . H. Johnsoid vice-president,
Miss Johnson; sec-treas., (.1.. W. Hol-
man; committee, Misses Burrows avd
Burritt, and Messrs Silty, E. A.
McKenzie and J. Delgatty.
Having passed the following motion,
"That as a sinall token Of our appre-
ciation of the efforts of the head mast•.
er and teachers of the Goderich high
school and the trustees of the same to
make our association a success, the
treasurer ot this institute be instructed
to hand over $10 being part proceeds
of concert to IL I. Strang, to be used
as a small aid in replenishing the chem-
ical department of the high school" the
convention adjourned to meet again at
the call of the executive,
Mr. Crassweller was elected reporter
for the press and acted in that capa-
city.

agreed that it wail. to, c : ;the first mat -
