Mr. George Hofferd of the London
Normal School gave an address on the
Aims and Methods of Teaching Ag-
riculture and Horticulture.
Why teach Agriculture? (A) Re-
lates child's home life with the school,
(B)Interests the child in country life
rather than city life, (C) It is a hu-
man interest subject, (D) Present day
Education is trying to bring the
schools nearer the life of the people.
Aims—(1) to awaken an interest in
the subject, (2) to show the children
that agriculture offers as great a
scientific study as any other vocation
(3) to enable the youth to understand
the reasons for things he has not un-
derstood, (4) to enable the pupil to
appreciate the part agriculture has
played in the developement of civil-
ization, (5) to show that scientific
and economic methods are not merely
to feed the passion for gain but to
make the interest social.
When taking up the new subject by
questioning or illustration prepare
the minds for subject. Present the
new kno}sledge. Test the pupils to
see if they really understand.
Mr. Fines, principal of the Clinton
Collegiate, gave a very interesting
paper on Astronomy. He began by
describing the work of the ancient
Chinese, Chaldeans, Egyptians and
Greeley. These early people
knew the planets and con-
stellations but had many ab-
surd notions in regard to them. Durr
ing the Geometrical Period the Greeks
started making measurements of dis-
tances and tried to account for the
movements of the stars. In this they
were aided by the invention of Trig-
onometry. In the Dynamical Period
accurate measurementss and dieser-
vations were made. These were
greatly helped by the discovery of the
laws of gravity and motion and in-
vention of the telescope. The present
period is called the Physical. Now by
' the use of the .telescope and photo-
' graphy very accurate accounts can be
made and new stars disocvered.
Friday morning Miss Babb gave a
paper on Primary Paper and Card-
s board Instruction with a class. Be-
fore the class carte in Miss Babb told
some of the devices which she fdu nd
very helpful and displayed some of
1 the posters, scrapbook, etc., which
had been made. When the children
came in she got them to tell her the
1 story of the Three Bears. Then' she
showed them the pictures of the
chairs and the bowls. Paper was dis-
tributed to the class to make the beds
for the bears. By the use of the
blackboard and demonstrating with a
piece of paper the children cut out the
beds.
The following officers were appoi 1 -

Mies M. Livingstone, who taught
in an Indian School in the Fraser
Valley, gave a very interesting talk on
B. C. schools for Indians. She spoke
of the life in the school being the
same as life in any institution. The
children do the work, supervised by
the matrons and teachers.
In the schools besides the regolar
school work the children learn ch•ess-

firmary with a nurse in charge all the
time as the children are sick a great
deal.
The children enter the sellout with
a feeling of antagoitionn which is hard
to overcome. They cannot forgive the
white man for taking their land and
anything done for the Redman is tak-
en for granted as their right.. Near
the school was one of their two large
hop -fields in Canada. About 1"500
Indians would gather there at the
time of the picking and packing, At
night and on Sundays they spent their
time at a peculiar gambling game,
Most of the homes at these fields
were kept in terrible confusion but a
few of the women who had attended
schools had things neat and tidy
showing that all the work done for
the Indians was not in vain,
Mrs. Snyder took up the History
Paper of 1920. The questions were
well proportioned, well chosen and not
too long. The British North America
Act was the one • which caused the
most difficulty. She explained how
she took it with her class—reason for
explained before the act was taken.
The question on the war was answer-
ed well for the most part but some
were quite hazy on the battles. In
some cases the children lost sight of
what was asked for. e. g. Describe
reasons for building the C. P. R. The
children described the building of the
railway instead. The absence of dates °
was 110tt1'0, An d"t^s .urn nn'• nee- h
essary but important ones should al- t
ways be put in. In giving the char-
acters of men very often the unimpor-
tant things are put down and what
the ratan did for his country was not
mentioned. If they are described un-
der the headings, who he was, char-
acter, what he did for his country,
they would probably answer better.
Dr. Shaw spoke on the treatment of
Infectious Diseases in Schools, in-
cluding Goitre.
Health officers and teachers should
work hand in hand. He believes that
every teacher should take a course of
six weeks paid by the government so
they could find bad tonsils, bad teeth,
etc. and .have them remedied before
they injure a child permanently. If
a teacher knows the family history
and invironment of a child he can tell
a good deal about him. If the child-
ner are educated regarding infectious
diseases the next generation will be
healthier. Most people are nn -
mune to Some disease. By tests it can
be discovered what you are immune
;to and serums or anti -toxins can be
injected which will prevent the dis-
ease for a number of years. Some
children -will have a disease such as
scarlet fever but will not show it ex-
cept for a sore throat. These are cal-
led carriers and are very dangerous
in spreading infectious diseases.

Dr. Unison's work as secretary of

church people at least, needs no
setting forth here. His speeches,
made in different pulpits in his reg-

rounds of the territory for
which he was palmarly responsible,
or impromptu at the meetings of
different church courts, were always
forceful and compelling in their
sincerity. He will be as much miss-
ed in London and throughout West-
ern Ontario, and the protests made
were because the churches here did
not feel they could do without his
characteristic spirited message.
He was honored this past summer
by his alma meter, Wesleyan Col-

Car Lands in Ditch
A light touring car, headed in
the direction of Stratford, at a high
rate of speed, came to • grief on the
second turn about two miles east
of Mitchell yesterday afternoon,
when the driver apparently lost con
trol of the car and it ran 'nto the
ditch on the left hand side. The
car careened along for some 450
feet in the ditch, side swiping two
telephone poles in its wild dash and
finally came to a stop in a badly
damaged condition with one side
torn out and the top smashed,
Provincial Officer M. tt, Moore
and Traffic Officer G. C. Thonpsen
were notified of the accident and
immediately rushed to the scene but
upon arrival could find no trace of
the driver of the car. Both license
plates had been torn off and the
driver had hurried away to
escape detection. The ear was
seized pending further investiga-
tion,—(Stratford Beacon).

Mr. Hofferd chose as his second

of Teaching. He inquired what is the
psychology behind the problem and

not in some of our teaching. Instead
of teaching fragments you take a big
.job and co -relate several subjects.
Time the child sees some reason for
doing things. Teaching is to get the
child to think and reason instead of
learning by memory. We give things
too well organized instead of letting
him think things out for himself. A
project involves a complete unit of
activity, a plan that is carried out.
As the child grapples with problemshis nature grows.

FINAL REPORT OF
PEAT COMMITTEE
Fuel Can Be Prepared by Air-Dry-
ing—Many Large Bogs Favorably
Situated
The prospect of the establishment
of a peat fuel industry in Canada
has 'been materially advanced by the
investigations carried on by' the Peat
Committee, accordatg to the final re-
port of that body, published by the:
Department of Mines, The Peat
Committee was appointed joint:y by
the Governments of the Dominion .of
Canada and the province of Ontar-
io, with the object of finding, if
possible, a practical-workine and
commercially -feasible method of
making available the products of
0u1• extensive peat deposits as an
auxiliary source of fuel supply, as-
pecially in the "Acute Fuel Area"
of Ontario and Quebec. The fore-
word to the Committee's final report
states that a gratifying measure of
success had been met by the com-
mittee in its investigations and that
the object of its appointment had
been substantially attained.
The unsatisfactory 'situations
which have arisen in parts of Can -
oda, particularly in Ontario and
Quebec, through the dependance on
anthracite of foreign origin bronght
forward the necessity for a domestic
source - of fuel supply for this area,
An investigation into the possibili-
ties of peat as a substitute fuel Was
