Jno. Hartley then dealt with the
subjeet, "Home Work Exercises."
He assumed as a basis for iris paper
that flume Work should be given ;
exercises she old be characterized by
three things. 1st, they must admit
of bring set in a shori time ; 2nd, c'l
being examined in a short time ; 3rd,
tbey must be within the power 'of
the pupil, 1, e. no work should be set
that requires the assistance of par-
ents. The speaker then indicated
what he considered suitable exercises
for the various classes, starting with
Part 1I, Spelling could easily be
masteted at home; preparation for
spelling matches afforded profitable
work. Memorization of passages,
with exercises in the accurate writ-
ing out of passages was commended.
Arithmetic tables might be learned.
He strongly insisted that no problems
in arithmetic. should be set, but that
puri mechanical work be the limit.
He suggested a method of prepara•
tion of Composition . which should
commend itself to teachers. He wouid
announce the subject of the week's
composition on l+'riclay and would
make this the occasion for discussing
the theme. For home wutk, pupils

In the afternoon Dr. McLellan,
took a class who were aboutto begin
the study of fractions and demon-
strated his method or teaching this
subject. The fundamental idea that
number is a mental process, that is
the attitude of a mind toward the
presentation in the operation of
measurement was kept always In
view. He showed that there is no
mental process not involved in addi-
tion and subtraction.

A lesson on "Phonic Leading"

sounds into words. By questioning even as a tnathernatieion, he had no +'eIn. Grammer clauses

to the limit of the work, nor did they
give questions in a definite form.

followed.

subject of Literature, discussing it
under the head of Spiritual applica-

The newly elected President took
the chair, and after a brief address
called un the Delegate to the Pro-
vincial '1'ea►cheis' Convention, , Mr.
Lowery, to give his report. This
was a particularly good one and re-
fleeted a go•.d deal of eredit on the

The President then dealt with the
question, "Written Exams. for En-
trance and P. S. L. He said his
remarks were based on his observa-
tion while reading the examination
papers, and pertly- on hisown experi-
ence as a teacher. Slovenliness was
one Of the great drawbacks. This
can be in a large measure overcome ,
by care on the part of the teacher.
Home work is often the cause, Can-
didates at examinations who do their
work neatly will receive a much
larger mark than those who do not.
He said he generally found the
answers in history too short. Diffi-
culty might arise from using note-
books too freely. Good practice to
give pupils exercise in reproducing

chosen remarks testified to the value
of the paler emphasizing the point
that home work should be of such a
nature that pupils do not require to
solicit help of parents.
Dr. McLennan then introduced the
subject, "Psyehology of Number."
He defined it as an orderly account
of how the mind deals wit:i number.
He showed the necessity of under--
stau+ding the working et the miucl in
order that court tnay.be economically
diceeted towards the accomplish-
ment of the desired end. Number
is a ratii nal process, nut asense fact.
The mere tact that a municipality of
things is present in space, or that
this Municipality is p►•eeent to the
eye and ear, dues not account for a
cunsciousuess of number. There are
hundreds of leaves on a tree in
which the bird. builds its nest, but
it does not follow that the bird can
count. No mere sensation can give
the idea of number. This must ne-
cessarily be the result of a mental
operation. This point was made
clear by actual experimect in which
the Dr. placed a uuinber of strokes
on the board with a crayon and
showed that while a sensation was'
present, at a momentary presently
pion of the group, a mental efR rt
bad to be put forth to grasp the
actual number. 'There are three
factors to the intellectual process in-
volved .in Number. In the simple
recognition of say tbtee things the
followitig operations are involved:—
The recognition 'of the three objects
as forming. nue connected whole or
group; there trust be a recognition
of ttie three things as individuals,
and of one as the unity andsof the
