Meet in Session in Godericln.

slows Melct--A Successful Enter-
tainment -10m New Execu-
tive.
The West Huron Teachers' Associa
tion met is the Collegiate Institute
Goderich on Sept. 27th., 1894, aceording
to the executive committee's announce-
ment.
President J. T. Wren occupied • the
chair. R. E. Brown conducted devo-
tional exercises.
The minutes of the last session of the
Institute at Exeter were read and
adopted.

the Collegiate Institute, welcomed the
association, and on behalf of the trus-
tee board presented the teachers the
freedom of the building.

appointed viz: Audit -Messrs S. J.
Boyd and J. A. Dempsey; Resolutions -
Messrs. J. B. Weateerhead, H. I Strang
R. E. Brown, Misses Vesper and Mc -

S. J. Boyd then proceeded to read an
able paper on "Education from a moral
standpoint." Several teachers discussed
the subject and complimented Mr Boyd
on his excellent paper. A resolution
of thanks to Mr. Boyd was passed by
the associatiou.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Association met at 1.30 p. at.
The minutes of the forenoon session
were read and approved.
Miss 12. Rusk, of the Goderich Model
School, theu read an excellent paper
on "Penmanship and How to reach It."
Miss Rusk teaches vertical writing and
is an advocate of the system. Many
teachers took part in the discussion
and much valuable information was
gleaned from the paper and from the
discussion that followed.
A general discussion took place as to
the deplorable practice of underbidding
that is at . present in vogue among
teachers. Nothing tended to lower the
dignity of the profession more than this
pernicious method of securing positions,
Many valuable hiuts were thrown out
relative to making the teaching pro-
fession'more permanent.. -. On motiou
of Inspector Tom this matter was re-
ferred to the resolutiou committee to
report thereoa.
W. McRoberts, of Holmesville, then
took up "Geography -how to teach it."
Mr. McRoberts went into the matter
very thoroughly, and showed that he
had bestowed much time and careful
study in preparing his paper. rhe sub-
ject was discussed father by several
of the teachers present.
• A. J. Moore, B. A., next took up the
subject of "Derivations" and dealt with
his method of taking up the work with
pupils. The difference between deriv-
ation and inflection should be carefully
taught. The English prefixes should
be first taught thoroughly. After these
the Latin or Greek may he taught in
either order. Mr. Moore gave some
excellent examples of peculiar and dif
ecult derivations; his paper was very
interesting and instructive, and the
teachers were yery much pleased with
Mr. Moore's mauner of dealing with the
subject.
The time for adjournment having
arrived, the Associatiou adjourned to
meet at 9 A. X. Friday.
EVENING.
In the evening a very successful en-
tertainment was held in the Collegiate
Institute assembly room. Interesting
and instructive addresses were given
by H. L Strang, B. A., Inspector Tom,
G. Baird, W. Lens and G. Holman.
Misses slack, Ausebrooke, McLaren, A.
Barlett, Strang and Naftel and the
Coll. het. glee club furnished an excel-
lent program of music and song which
was highly appreciated.

Queen closed the proceedings at a sea-
sonable hour, J. T. Wren discharged
the duties of chairman very efficiently,

lug the past year.
Inspector Tom then called the roll
and 74 teaehers answered to their
na 11108.
J. S. Deuteron, of Collegiate Institute,
very ably discussed the erthject "Rhe-
toric, and how to teach it," The sub-
ject was assigned to Mr. ;Strang • but
Mr, Cameron, who teaches the subject
in the Coilegiate.Institute, kindly eon'-
sented to introduce the subject. Mr.
Comeron showed by the manner in
which he presented this branch of
school work that he was thoroughly
conversant with the subject and be-
stowed much care and study on the
preparation of the paper.
On motion of G. M, Kilty, Mr. Cam•
eron was requested to illustrate his
method of teaching paragraph analysis
which he did to the great satisfaction
of the association, talsiug "The Trtal
by Combat at the Diamond of the Des-
ert," as a lesson,
Moved by Dir. Kilts, seconded by Mr.
Baird, and resolved that a hearty vote
of thanks be tendered err. Cameron for
his excellent paper and instructive ad-
dress,
J. B. Weatlherhead then showed his,
method of teaching literature, taking
the poem. "To Winter," by Charles D.
Roberts. A class of model school stud-
ents was present affording Mr. Weath-
erhead an opportunity of illustrating
his method of teaching literature in a
practical manner. The subject was
further discussed by several teachers.
S. McCluskey introduced the sub-
ject "Horne work, nature of, assigning
and correction of the same."
Mr. McClusky was opposed to the as
signing of house work to any larger
extent, utilises by way of reviewing
the work of the day so as to more firm-
ly fix the information gleaned in the
mind. If any work as assigned it
should be such as can be easily exam-
ined .ud to serve more as an exercise
of neatness than that of tnental strain
The subject was further discussed by
several of the teachers present.
On motion of G. eV. Holman seconded
by G Baird a unanimous vote of thanks
of the association was tendered the Col-
legiate Institute Board for the use of
their excellent assembly room for the
sessions of the Association, and the As-
sociation adjourned at 12:30 to meet
at the call of the executive,
The association is decidedly in favor
of i1 uniou meeting with East Huron
next spring,.
All of which is respectfully submit-
ted.
