The eeml.annuel mooting of the North
Huron Teachers' Association was held in
the public school, Brussels, on Theaeday
and Friday of loot week. The torenoon
session o Thursatty opened at 10.80 with
an atteneanoe of only about 21 membore.
After Scripture reeding and prayer by
the president, the minutes of the preview;
meeting wore rood and Adopted, Tho
President then delivered his opening ad.
arose, in whigh he teethed upon many
points of inters -at to the Wolters present,
lIa regretted the absence of so many
members. Ho said teachers were paid
for these days, and should not regard
them as holidaye to bo partly spent in
visiting their friends. All should be-
oorne members of the Institute and not
only be M tho place of meeting punc-
tually, but shoult 4190 taken.» active port
in the disouseions. A oommittee, con-
sisting of the president, the secretary
and Mr. Campbell was then appointed to
essist the local teachers in preparing for
the evening meeting:
In the afternoon the attenaance was
meetly augmented by new arrivals pour
-
mg in. The secretary, A. S.I. Plummer,
read tho minutes of the forenoon mission,
which %veto, at ones adopted AS read.
Than a reporting oommittoe was appoint-
ed, consisting of Messrs. Bowerman,
Black, IlleFacizean and Plummer. Com-
mittees were next appointed on Resolu-
hone, and General Business, after which
a synopsis of the proceedings at the last
meeting of the Provincial Teachers' Iu•
stitute was given by tho delegate, Jr.
Doig, who showed by his interesting and
instructive report that Bast Huron was
pretty well represented et the Niagara
meeting.
A dieuussion then arose bebween Mr.
Dolg and Thos. Gibson, M. P. P., who
happened to be peewit, in wbioh the
former objeateft to reducing the grant to
Well Schools, and asked. the latter to ex-
pluen the stand he took in the House on
the Toaoheree Superannuation Fund
question. Mr. Gibson proved equal to
the mansion and very ably defended his
position on both questions. Some other
points touched upon in the delegate's re-
port wore then dismissed. Mr. Doig hold
that the teachers eid not receive much
practical benefit i» Normal and Model
Schools. Too much time was there
taken rip in fine spun theories from Bald.
win and Fitch. Messre. Taylor and
Cornyn in reply defended the present
system of training teachers Inc those
schools. D. Johnston thought that
teachers should have the benefits of Nor-
mal training first before they began
teaching. This Mau was opposed by
Messrs. Taylor. Blackwell and Cornyn,
the latter saying it was good enough in
theory but impossible to put into prao.
Roo on amount of the o.e.pense young
teachers would be put to. Other points
of minor interest were then brought up,
after whit* Mrs. B. Kirkman, road a
number of valuable extracts from a book
entitled "Teachers and Teaobing."
Mr. Clarkson next read a pe.per'on the
"Wants and woes of Teachers," which
WAS e11 rootiived. The three great WON
he referred to were isolation, poverty and
the yearly engagement ; for each of
which he suggested remeies that would
reduce the wants of teachers to a mini-
mum. A motion to have the paper pub-
lished is full Inc the local papers was
carried by a large majority.
In the Gentling au entertainment was
given in the Town Hall. The program
was a good one and was well carried out.
There was a large attendance and the
promede amounted to over 328. About
38 had to be taken out of this, however,
to defray expenses.
Priday'e eession began ab 9 a. 03.
After the reading andadoption of the
minutes of Thursday's meeting, Mr.
Blaokwell read a very suggestive and
praotical essay on the teaching of Com-
position. Thoughts, be said, must ,jerte,
code words. The first thing to do is to
get the pupils to think, after which they
will have little difficulty Inc getting words
to express the ideas, Show pictures and
get the class to talk about them. The
pictures in the reeding lessons can thus
bo need with great oolvantage, the teach-
er making each lesson in Peet I. and
Part II, of the First•Roculer the bogie of
an oral language lesson. He then sug-
gested many valuable kinds of exercises
for third and fourth classes and highly
recommended some that be had tried in
his own school.
JO H. Cornyn next their up the sabjeot
of welting, with a elan of seven or eight
pupils from the Bramble mobilo eohool.
He first put some writing on the black.
board and then judioionely •questioned
the class and asked them to criticize
errors which he put on the board similar,
to those some of thorn made on their
slates in oopying hiS writing. Be also
read an essay on the successful teaching
of writing in golicode. He teethes print-
ing at the game time as writing, con-
denens treeing, allows pepils to write

"A 134W set and gauge has been patent-
ed in Canada by Thomas lefoGregor, of
Bruseels, Ont., on the 3rd of January,
(No. 28,300). This consists or the ordin-
ary saw set, which on one of its flat sides
is furnished with throe short legs or pro-
jections of equal length and with a set-
sorew forming a fourth log of adjustable
length. This screw or fourth leg is sot
so meolo beak of the plano of the three
other legs as it is desired to give "set" to
tho teeth, and" after n, tooth has been op-
erated upon, the gauge is placed with its
three legs on the fiat side of the saw
blade with the screw point or fourth leg
exactly opposite tho point of the tooth.
If the screw aloes not touch, not enough
"set" has been giveo the tooth, if it
touches without allowing the intermed-
iate two lege to touch the blade, too
much "set' has been given, and if all
four legs touch evenly the "set" is cor-
rect."

the portion I did' ole appeared to be a
good Mock conntr$ rind one sure indica-
tion of that is the amount you see in
travelling nlong. Kansas City is quite a
busy place, very hilly and the most of
it built in Missouri state. The street
cars are run altogether by cable power,
and it is amusing to watch the cars run-
ning up and down hills, I think it is
quite dodder' improvement on the
horse ears. We left Kansas City at
11.45 a. m. and started for Junction City,
passing Up what 38 known to the Keno
valley, a very fertile tract of country. I
saw 801110 of as fine farms as you would
wish to look a,t. The valley extends for
about 185 miles. At Junction City I
took the Junction railway for Clay

p. no. The country surrounding
Clay Center is good and crops this year
are above the average. The fore part of
the season being wet and favorable to
vegetation. The country just now though
is very dry ancl dusty and badly in need
of rain. I was in the country to.clity for
dinner with Mr. Nett and got conversing
with the head of the family, who, by the
way, came from Canada and settled there
thirty years ago. I found out he knew
an uncle of mine very well so the old
saying that you will meet friends or meet
somebody that lcnows somebody that you
know still pans out.
