One Of The Most Slicdessfai And Inepirleg Cortventtoas. The regular annual meeting of the East Huron Teaohere' Institute was held in Wingham Public) School Friday and Saborday, Oat. 1901 anti 20th. Minute. of last meeting were read and on motion of Menses, Moffatt and Taylor were adopted The lollotbing eommitteee were ap- pointed :-Program-Miee Brook, Masers. Leppard, and MoQuibbon, Reeolubione -Mentes. Camerae, Soon and Johns, Reporters -Messrs. Dobson and Hartley, The first paper was one on Reading by Dr, David J. Goggto, M. A., of Toronto; After a few introductory remarks be said when a boy comes to school he Itas knowiego which he hag acquired from big natural and social surroundings. In his first five years be has learned more with- out conscious effort than he will with conscious effort fu any other five years of his life. The teacher should connect bis teaobing with the previous knowledge of the child and with the child's. desire for doing. A desire for reading should be created in the ootid, then he will take an interest in his work. The teacher should strive to give the pupil power. Before the child has been a week at sohool he should be able to read a sen- tence and get its meaning. Each teacher should neo the method with whish he succeeds beet. INSPECTOR L, o00B$„ B. A, • TEI3 PAST PRESIDENT In the atteruoon Dr. Goggin continued his address on Reading. After summing up his morning address, he continued his discussion of the problems arising in the teaching of elementary reading, illustrat- ing methods for their solation. He eon. fined himself mainly to the teaching of elementary reading. He explained the necessity of creating and retaining the ohild'e interest and of distingniehing be- tween the form and expression. He showed bow it Wan possible to teach a obild in a very few dnye to yield eeuten- aes of whish he could underetaud the full meaning and whiob would interest him, In ,the teaching ot words, ear training should preoede eye training, He em- phasized the benefits resulting from read- ing for imitation and also for supplemen- tary reading. The lesson should not be repeated often. The power of reading comes from reading much new material, rather than reading over old material. In conclusion he deprecated the practice of keeping a child back for defloienoy in spelling. Mies Padfield read an excellent paper on "Our objeot as teaohere." The true object of education is to train boye and gide to become noble men and women who will be both able and willing to do their life work faithfully and well. There are three bravohee of eduoation- intelleotual, physical and moral. The teacher should endeavour to have the intelleot grow and increase in strength and power. Pupils Mould be tan& to love Nature 00 that they may be ab'lb to enjoy the works of the poets. Right habits should be developed in the child. Impress on the abildren the importance of right living. Let the teaober'n objeob be :-(1) To train the ohild 00 that he will leave sohool with a love of Nature and faith in God and humanity ; (2) With a love of knowledge and a desire to read aucl think for himself ; (3) With a knowledge that he has a work to do ; that he i0 responsible for its accomplish- ment and filet no one else oan do it but him ; (4) With right habits formed that will result in a noble manhood. Moved by J. B. Cameron, seconded by Wm. Moffatb and resolved -That this meetibg heartily oneoree tite candidature of A. H. Mnenrove, Principal of Wingham Public School, for a poeliiou es member of the Advisory Oonnoil. Carried unani- mously. Inspector Robb spoke at length on the new law fixing the salaries of teachers, He upheld the law and stated that he had not received the aeoisbauce that he should, from the teaohere, in his efforts to reconcile those opposed to it. The effect of the law he thought would be to bring bank to the tenuity many profooeiooal teachers, who have received their Model training here, from the fact that higher salaries would result in seitoole producing professional teaohere more oaolly than before. Continuing he mentioned several oritioiema he had received from tru01000 in the Inopeoter- ate. He oharaotsrized the Speller now in use as inadequate to the needs. A notable doled in Reeding wee look of ex- pression, and in Penmanship, insu0ioient neo at Dopy books, He deprecated the practice of giving excessive home -work and advised the teachers to make allow alae toe the varying %pitchy of pupils. In aoboluei0u he urged the iemolters 10 live up to their agreements, and to deal bonorably with Bohooi Boards, 0011111ne MMIBION. In the evening an entertainment wee held iu the Towu Hall, which 0900 very largely attended and waa very eu000gsful, Inspector David Robb, B. A., 000upied the chair. Norman Murch rendered two solos in his usual pleasing manner. Dr. David Goggin, B. A., of Toronto, de- livered an eloquent and inetreative Jeoter0 on "Suwon." He stated that mouse in life could not be measured by wealth, by social position or to power, but by the amount of good done by his fellowmen. He then proceeded 00 die - Mee the eeeontiale of 0uame08, mentioniug determination, thrift and character, bas- ing his remarks Worsen upon the state- ment that the ideal man is be whose en: dowmsnte bavo been harmoniously de- veloper) to the highest degree poeoiblo. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Goggin for bio excellent lecture. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. President Robb acid that since opening sohool in August be had addressed sixty boards of trustees on the principles underlying the new School Aot. He bad heard many oriticiems favorable and un- favorable on the way Leachers were per- forming their duties, and on tits work accomplished. It was asserted that the penmanship of the pupils was not as good as formerly. Inepeotor thought that this arose from the 900010ioue habit of many teaohere giving imyoaitione in writing whioh led to scribbling ; for in- stance, misspelled words having to be written a hundred or more times. This should atop, in fact must atop. Again, history notes and notes on Geography were hastily written with some common words and nearly all proper words incor- rectly spelled. It was also stated that the auhtorized Spelling Book contained 1/10113, words not in 0o00on use, that teaohere should not require pupils to learn these words, and that children were required to spell words without knowing their meaning or being able to use them correctly in forming sentencen. It was asserted that enough of attention was not given to emphasis, iufls01ion, etc. Nothing oame in for et meat condemna- tion es cxoessive home work. One parent aeserted that be oould not find time at night to read his newspaper through having t, assist his abildren with their home work. A little was not objeoted to, but one (000008 said he did not believe after the teacher examined the home work she had any time to teach. Oue board of truebeeo entered an emphatic pro0eet against Teachers' Oon- 0e06ione. Their teacher iu variably closed her oohed for these Couventiooe but never attended. It was, the board said, dishonest. The Inspector had to admit the Grath of the charge in more than this instance, and that as it was as much their duty to attend these meetings as to teach, that be had often felt like asking the exeo0tive to place on the notioe of these meetings that teachers ebould "attend to business or resign." Moat of those who stay away from Conventions were those who needed them most. They are those unfortunate people who have fallen into that fatal sleep of '.Know it all." The president urged the teacher to justify the new eoheme of salaries by doing their very best and making the neelvea so in- dispensable that sohools cannot do with- out them. He was sure thee in a couple of year0 most teaohere in thie inspector- ate would be receiving higher salaries than the roinimam fixed by law. As it is, more than a dozen wheels have teach. era engaged for next year at salaries of from 540 to 575 higher than the mini. mum. SATURDAY 110RNIN0. The Treasurer read his report whish was adopted.

Oral work should be given more attention than written. The speaker commended the attention given to oral composition in the States and made a plea for more of it here. He deeoribed methods of teaobing oomposi- tioe in the different grades. At first the child's interest should be aroused -by eboriea told by the teacher, and also by stories read. Starting with fables and folk -stories, the tenches should proceed to ltinterical tales, then to 0010008. The value of pictures was net forth, as also that of the memorization of game of Menden. Letter writing should be given more attention. It should be in- troduced in the Part II classes. That it had received insufficient attention is the past was shown by the letter writing of many towbars. In all oomposibion work, the ohild should be taught first to get the thought, then to arrange it. In oorreoting, too, many errors should not be °enacted by the temaber. The ohild should be taught to find his own mistake. The only oorreetion of any value is the one the ohild makes himself. J. G, Workman, R. A., then gave an excellent addreos on "The new course in Geometry." The mesons for intro- duotng the new course are :--(1) The old mutes was too abstract. (2) The work Was not taken up in snob a way as to be related to other subjeote. (3) Euelid's book is tow out of date, the mune being too burdensome and not 0000ving ouougb in the fleet year. The spanker Showed that some of Euaiid's peopositi0ne have been negloted, because of their leek of utility and that a nambor of other simple onee have been used as an inteoduotion, along with th0 definitions, The intro - auction to the thooretioal Work in geometry in excellent, Mr. Moffatt, of Seaforth, then gave a five minntee' tails on Supplementary Reading and the management of echoed libraries. He gave o number of Metal hints to the teachers, and supported moot strongly the planing of )ibrariee iD the aohool0, Mr. Straohan followed with an address on "Our Poets," He odd that we Pre indebted to poste (more than we think) for the expreseion of beautiful thought... He asked if there were any Canadian poets and if not, why nob ? He made a plea for wider study of the Canadian poets, In discussion Mr. Cameroon said that ft was the duty of the teacher to maks himself familiar with good books before asking the ohildreu to read them, Dr. Goggin said that it was a matter of regret that Canadian writers were desert - fag their country for the prospect of sue - ems whfah they could never attain at home.
