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.

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. Votes of thanks and God Save the Queen closed the proceedings at a sea- sonable hour, J. T. Wren discharged the duties of chairman very efficiently, SEPT. 28th, 1894. The Association met at 9 A. M., Mr. Wren in the chair, Devotional exercises conducted by Mr. Strang. The minutes of the former sessions were read and approved The auditors, Messrs. J. A. Demsey and S. J. Boyd, presented their report through the sectary which, on motion of Inspector Tom seconded by R. E. Brown, was adopted. The eloction of officers was then pro• ceeded with, Messrs. J. A.

W Holman, Elimville. Executive Cone - Messrs G. Sheppard, Saltford, J. S. Del- g'aty, Centralia, 8. P. Halls Bs A. God- erich, Misses Watson, Nile, and MeMath Goderich. On motion a Vote of thanks was presented to J, 'I'. Wren and the other retiring officers for their services der 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,.
