Cobbledick, a former well-kaiown resident of Ex- eter, lee having passed away at Cal- gary on Monday, Oct. 8th, at the age of 73 years. The 'sad. news was re- ceived here with: much surpriise, noth- ing whatever being heard of his ill rues., which however was of campar- atave1y abort duration. Over !a year ago he contracted the flu from which he never rightly recovered and dev- eloping into nephititis .it gradually wasted his ,energies untiilthe,en;d came. He was however up and. around un- til the last, having taken an automo- bile nele with has •s,on Nelson, just a few das before his death. The late Mr. Cobbledick's life was a busy one and ,eventful thr;ougthoutt, Bonn in Clark Tp. Durham County, he, in the year 1856, moved with his parents, the late. M,r..amd.

WEST HURON TEACRERS CONVENE AT EXETER The forty-sixth' annual convention of West Huron teachers met in . Ex- eter, Main St. Methodist church, Oct. llth and 12th. In absence of the President Mr. N. Geddes, who left the Inspector- ate, the meetings were presided over by Mr. M. C. Milliken, the vice-pres- ident. Thursday Morning This, the first session, was opened by the singing of the National An - thein, after which devotional exercis- es were conducted by Rev F. E. Clys- dale, pastor of the convention church. The minutes of the last convention were read and on motion of Messrs. Tom and Stonehouse, were adopted. Owing to the removal of Misses Douglas and Peck from the Inspec- torate and of Mr. R. R. Redmond from the profession—a11 members of the resolution committee--- the fol- lowing were substituted: Misses Kil- patrick and Guenther and Mr. Man- son.. Mr. P. Moffatt, of Dashwood., dealt with the subject of History for Entrance and Lower School. He claims the present texts are confusing to the pupils beyond their grasp, and as such, cause the pupils to detest the subject. To overcome the diffi- culty, he recommended giving notes. The course, he considers too long for Entrance pupils. The books are so arranged that facts required to be learned are so hidden on the pages that it is difficult to find them. These books were strongly condemed by all teachers present an expressions of disapproval were heard on all sides. Heated discussions followed by Mes- srs. Milliken, Howard, Tom, John- ston and Mawson. The next on the program was "The Value of Little Things in the School Room," taken by Inspector Tom. He pointed out that pupils in the same class should be seated apart in order to secure individual work, that in class, they should be spaced and lined eight or ten feet from the teacher and that teachers should insist on neat work. Slates or exercise hooks should be properly prepared with heading and margin in each subject. Reading .should receive special atten- tion and pupils should be taught to read nothing but the best books a- vailable. Lighting, heating and vent- ilating the school should be closely watched. Windows should never be Iowered from the top. Schools should be properly tinted with bright colors. The out -building should be looked after by the teacher. Backward pu- pils should be encouraged by the tea- cher's word of approval in order to stimulate greater effort. Miss M. McKellar, of Winchelsea, gave a paper on Primary Work. She would make the beginners feel at home the first morning of their ar- rival and let them know that the tea- cher is their friend. She suggested songs, Bible stories, etc. to interest them. Sounds of -the letters are in- troduced one by one till the whole alphabet has been taken. Writing should be given on the B.B. and the class may be allowed to pick words out of the work on B.B. for other grades. Numbers are taken similar- ly. She recommends examining of finger nails and teeth every morning and if neglect is found, deducting a mark in each case. The paper was well received. Miss L. McCulloch, of Winchelsea, then gave a talk on Summer Schools for teachers. These courses enable teachers to refresh their store of knowledge especially along new lines of study. Another benefit derived is the broadening of acquaintances with fellow -teachers from all over the country. Teachers by these cours- es may rise to a higher standard in the profession. Discussion followed by Messrs, Milliken and Johnston. Thursday Afternoon Minutes were read and confirmed. Inspector Tom dealt With the Right and Wrong Solutions in Arithmetic. He illustrated on the B.B. the proper way of doing problems. He insisted on teachers taking frequent mental arithmetic drills and giving easy problems to all grades. Miss Pearce, the School Nurse, spoke along the line of Health Rules and showed the teachers how to fill out the Medical cards, now required. She strongly recommended the Jun- ior Red- Cross, as a means of teaching Hygiene and other kindred subjects. Mr. Geo. W. Hofferd,. of London Normal School, gave his lecture on Project Problems in Teaching. This subject created a great deal of inter,, est as was shown by the rapt atten- tion. The plan may be used in any. subject. In Geography, for instance, a number of pictures, illustrating Can't ran forests, woods, animals, birds, etc., is collected and arranged - in book form, the` work being done ,by the pupils under the supervision of the teacher..'} Later essays may be written on any of these illustrations. This, plan applies to any school sub- . Contirlued on ,Page Four, PLOWING Under the auspices of THE EXETER.
