This, the first session, was opened
by the singing of the National An-

es were condlacted by Rev F. glYe-

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 itis difficult to find them. Th
books were strongly condemed by
teachers present and expressions of
disapproval were heard on all sides.
Heated discussions followed by Mes-
srs. Milliken, Howard, Tom, John-
ston and 1Vfawson.
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 lin
eight or ten feet from the teach
and that teachers should insist
neat work. Slates or exercise boo
should be properly prepa'red wi
heading and margin in each subjec
Reading should receive special atte
made, no pregress in the use of good
English can be noted. The same old
slang expressions, 'heard in the days
of our ancestors, are Still in'common
use and to these many new ones such
as "I'll toll the World," are being ad-
ded to our language. She would have
the teachers strongly impress 11190n
the pupils, the use of nothing short
of the choicest language. Above all
things, everyone, whether studeutS
or not, should cease "The Murder of
the King's English."
Thursday Evening
At the evening session a most en-
joyable time was spent, 'A good pro-
gram .of music and addresses was
rendered. Among the speakers of
the evening were Reeve Beavers, who
gave an address of welcome to the
teachers, President M.E. Milliken who
toek for his topic, Child Study; Mr.

--Miss M. McKellar, of Winchelse
gave a paper on Primary Work. Sh
would make the beginners feel, a
home the first morning of their a
rival and let them know that the te
cher is their friend. She suggeste
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 l3.B. and the
class may ,be allowed to pick words
out of the work on B.R. 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
merle 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
at study. Another benefit derived is
the broadening of acquaintances With
-Iellow-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.

COMMENTS
What If We •Did Tell The Whole
Truth?
A short time ago the editor of a
paper grew tired of being called, a
liar, it is said, and announced that
Pc would in the future handle the
truth only. His next issue contain-
ed the following items: "John Benin
the laziest man in town, made a trip
to Beeville on Monday."
"John Coole, our groceryman, is
doing a poor business. His store is
dusly and ,dirty. How can he ex-
pect to do niuch?
,naTlea Rev. Sty preached last Sun-
day on charity. The sermon was
punk.
"Dave Cranky died at his home
here Tuesday. The doctor gave it
that moonshine killed him.'
"Miss Sylvia Rhodes and Sam Col-
lins were married Saturday at the
Presbyterian manse. The bride is a
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than
a jack rabbit, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not a beauty and has a gait like a
duck. The groom is an up-to-date
loafer. He has been living off the
old folks all his life and is not worth
shucks."
Any newspaper man in the nation
could turn his country upside down
by publishing so small a portion as
one-tenth of the things he knows and
keePs under his hat.
