Teachers' Convention
East HuronTeuchers' Inetitute held
their auauai Convention in Owen
:Memorial Hall, Clinton, on Thursday
and Friday, Oct. 13 and 14 The pro-
gram thtough,•ut was filled with in-
terest to ell present.
Convention opened on Thursday
with Mies Mary Bell, Blyth, in the
chair. Opening exercises were cote
ducted by Rev. J. E. Hogg, Clinton,
after which Mayor McMurray gave an
address of welcome,
Records of the last Convention held
at Winglram were read by the Secre-
tary, H. H, Hoover, Walton. Geo.
Jefferson, Fotdwich, gave a very in-
teresting and eduoatinhal repmtuf Lhe
annual meeting of the Ontario Edu-
cational Association at Toronto last
Easter.
Miss L. E. Smith, of Clinton Col-
legiate Institute, gave au Wanted ve
talk on "Physical Culture," stressing
the need of more organized play for
the children of lower grades.
Fleet paper Thursday afternoon was
given by Mies Edna Jamieson, Sea
forth, on "Making the Schoohomit
Attractive." Malty helpful ideas were
suggested.
A. J. Painter, Hamilton Normal
School, gave a splendid address on
"Correlated Constructive Work for
Printery Grades." Thele is a lack of
expression iu a practical way on the
part of the children, be said. The
modern teacher does too much "teach
ing"—an almost continuous going out
of "imptessioua" three not "educate"—
but the pupils' expressiolt of these
irupressions. He gave many aids in
helping solve the ptoblem of valuable
seat -wink, and showed very clearly
how constructive work was not a
thing or subject apart, but a correla-
tion with the subjects on the school
curriculum. There was interesting
disrua'ion of this paper. Mr. Painter
exhibited samples of what might be
done int work, weaving, pla8tio.
ing, Largs, dicks, paper.
Miss McKee, Toron to, presented
very capably and pleasantly the place
of "Music in the Schools." She dem-
onstrated with a class the ittiiuence
of music on children, by using a gtaph-
onola. This inetrnment may be used
profitably In correlation with liter-
ature, reading, geography, writing,
her erg and drill. Records are now be-
ing produced especially for use in our
schools by Educational Department of
the Columbia Graphnunla Co. Re -
c ,rds portraying animal calls, bird
songs, etc., were listened to with
great interest.
Thursday evening session was held
in the Town Hall. Program included
addresses by Rev. Canon Fotheting-
ham, B. A., Bt•untfurd, and Miss 'Mc-
Kee, Toronto, also several musical
numbers by pupile of Clinton Model
School, exhibition dancing by Miss L.
E. Smith of the C. C. I. staff and 4
students, Misses Agnes and Barry
Combe, Anion Hill and Helen Robert-
son. The chief speaker of the even.
ing was ()anon Fotheringham, who
gave an address on "Nobody's Dog."
His address sounded a note of warn-
ing to nee taet in nut methods of deal-
ing with the foreigner who conies into
our midst. Upon the teacher lies the
responsibility of teaching the right
ideals and the view point that will
make Canada a nation,
Friday morning Mr. Painter took
up the methods of constructive work
in graded schools.
Dr. McKenzie Smith, district med-
ical representative, was present and
talked to the teachers of the evils of
poor ventilation, lighting, heating, un-
suitable seats, etc. She will visit the
.echortle of this inspentot:ate this year.

Although the centenary celebra-
tions at Montreal indicate that Mc-
Gill University is already a hundred
years old, the roots of that great
educational institution reach still
further into the past. In the fas-
cinating volume "McGill and Its
Story" just published, Cyrus Mac-
Millan, the author, states that the
British settlers in Lower Canada,
after the conquest of Quebec were
eager that their children should
have at least an elementary educa-
tion. It was felt, too, that in the
unrest and the uncertainty of the
period immediately following the
American Revolution it was not
advisable to send students in search
of higher professional training to
the universities of the United States,
which in the days of their British
allegiance had attracted Canadian
students in large numbers.
Efforts were accordingly made to
establish a system of free schools
with. -the hope that later a university
might be founded. As a result of
the agitation for the providing of
educational opportunities in Lower
Canada, The Royal Institute for the
Advancement of Learning was es-
tablished under this Act, the icing
gave directions for the establish-
ment
stablishment "of a competent number of
Free Schools for the Instruction of
children in the first rudiments of
useful learning; and also as occasion
should require for foundations of a
more comprehensive nature." Ac-
cordingly, elementary free schools
were soon erected in different parts
of the Province, one-rooln buildings
of cedar logs. Indeed, they were
mere log -huts but they provided the
first free log-huts,
Education in
Lower Canada, and laid the founda-
tion for a Canadian nationality. The
Secretary's salary was always many
months in arrears, and he frequently
complained, with unfortunately but
little satisfaction, that not only had
he given his time for, some years
without remuneration, but that he
had expended even his own fuel and
candles, It was not unusual for
teachers to be censured "for not
keeping school at all," or for giving
too many holidays, or for tardiness
in opening school in the mornine
and eagerness in closing it in the
afternoon. At least one teacher was
warned that his arrears in salary
would not be Maid and that he would
'be Instantly dismissed "if be did not
treat his wife with greater kind -
areae."

vancement of Learning supervised
the establishment of McGill College
and directed it in its infancy, for

trust, the sum of 810,000 and his
Burnside Estate of forty-six acres,
together with the dwelling house
and other buildings for the erection
on the estate, and the endowment,
of a University or College.
The first Principal of McGill was
the Reverend George Jehoshaphat
Mountain, who was appointed Prin-
cipal in 1829 while the university
was only a name. The official open-
ing did not take place till June 24th,
1829, and was attended by what the
contemporary press called a gather-
ing of "numerous and respectable
individuals-" Anxious years marked
the early history of McGill, due to
welt of funds and quarrels between
aha Board of the Royal Institution
and the Governors of the College.
:11 November, 1848, the Governors
sad only the sum of 354 at their
disposal. They divided it between
the Bursar and the two Lecturers
:n proportion to the amount of sal-
ary in arrears and as a result the
Lecturer in French, M. Montier, re-
ceived 82 14s. as his share from
January 1st, 1848, to November 29th,
1848,. That was the full amount of
salary received by him during the
year• but he still, says the author,
had itis we,/ and his garden!
Dr. D. C, Maccalum wrote an
account of medical student life about
this time, "A large proportion of
the students," he said, 'were men
verging on, or who had passed,
middle age. Indeed, several of them
were married men and the heads of
fantiliea. There was sufficient of
the youthful, however, to keep things
lively, 'Footing Suppers; practical
jokes, and special country excursions
to secure material for practical an-
atomy were of frequent occurrence,
The last, involving as it did a cer-
tain amount of danger, commended
itself particularly to the daring
spirits of the class, who were always
ready to organize arid lead an ex-
cursion hr.vir.g that object in view.
These axe: rsions were not at all
thnes SUN a . ful, ar.d the participa•
tors in the..[ were sometimes thwart.
ed in their ..:tempts and had to beat
a precipitate retreat to save . them-
selves from rious threatened in-
fury.
The first re. I pro; rens was made
when the late Sir William Dawson
became Principal. "When I accepted
the principalship of McGill, he said
In i reminiscences, - I had n i

i.cen In Montreal, anknew the col-
lege and the men connected with it
only by reputation. I first saw it
to October, 1865. Materially it was
represented by two blocks of un-
finished and partly ruinous build-
ings, standing amid a wilderness of
excavators' and masons' rubbish
overgrown with weeds and bushes.
The grounds were unfenced and were
pastured at will by herds of cattle,
which not only •cropped the grass,
but browsed on the shrubs, leaving
unhurt only one 'great selm, which
still stands as the 'founder's tree,'
and a few old oaks and butternut
trees, most of which have had to
give place to our new buildings, The
only access from the town was by
a circuitous and ungraded cart track,
almost impassable at night. The
buildings had been abandoned by the
new Board, and the classes of the
Faculty of Arts were held in the
upper story of a brick building in
the town, the lower part of which
was occupied by the High School."
A direct appeal for financial as-
sistance was then made to the citi-
zens of Montreal. It met with an
encouraging response, which greatly
relieved the situation, and was what
Dr. Dawson forty years later, called
"the beginning of a stream of liber-
ality which has floated our Uni-
versity barque up to the present
date."
The more recent expansion of Mc-
Gill
o-Gill to its present strong position is
well known. The appointment, of
Sir Arthur Currie as Principal and
the still more recent election of Mr.
15, W. Beatty, President of the Can-
adian Pacific Railway, as Chancellor
have given it a practical adminis-
tration which is calculated to en-
sure its continued progress as an
essentially National University. In
the Epilogue to his volume Professor
MacMillan writes: "There is a new
spirit in McGill. To -day its puls-
ing 'life, under the guidance of its
great Canadian leader, reaches
through all grades and faculties and
departments of its students as it
has never done before. There is a
general forward movement unhamp-
ered and undivided by considerations
or competitions of sections or of
faculties. The University is closer,
too, than it once was to the current
of national feeling. It is seeking to

gave it birth and from which its

them back to serve their individdal
countries to advance the enlighten.
