The opening exercises were conduc- ted by'lley..1, ls. Hogg, M.An after which Mayer McMurray gave an ad- dress and extended a hearty welcome to the teachers white in Clinton.

A. was given by Mr. Geo. H. Jefferson, ord- in ch, in which he outlined the most important items' of the various pa- pers given. Increased interest was shown by the large attendance of over 1500 trustees. The question of clean sports was discussed and mo- tion pictures advocated in .the schools, also, that the teachers meeting from various parts •of the province was a means of enchanging ideas and bring- ing about a more social sphere among the teaching psofessien,. - ' Next follewed a paper on Physical Culture given by Miss L,. E. Smith of the C. C. L She advocated that phys- ical training should commence when the child enters school life. That of the junior . grades should be in the ;form of play as illustrated iii the Swedish exercises. Pupils should never lose interest in the games. Older pupils require mere organized games and in this way teach them "Team Spirit". Discussions were led by Hall and Fowler. The subject of "English Schools" vva Ic,.'Nei by -Fred Siomaan,' Blyth: rought out a"stet cig'contrast be= tween English schools and Canadian schools. Hard to secure discipline among the English pupils lentil you learn their school spirit. The ques- tidn of playground and genies was discussed. He emphasized the fact that the child is "spoon :fed" and not made to rely upon himself and should learn to reason for him or herself. Miss Edna Jamieson, Seaforth, in- troduced the subject of "Making the School Attractive." The moon must be attractive and cheerful and this could be secured by pictures, collec- tions, use of bulletin board to exhibit samples of pupils work from time to time, tidy desks, window plaits and library with proper selection of books, The exterior must be in keep- ing with the interior, clean play grounds, flower boarders, walks, etc. Discussions were given 'by Mrs. Ait- ken, St3hnan and Pahtlff.

Dr, McKenzie Smith gave an ex- cellent address on "Medical Inspection in Schools." She emphasized that rural pulls need this as well as city pupils. Many .Pupils are handicapped by d:ceases. which could he remedied when in their earlier stages. • This should only be doom through the "Specialist". The questions of prop- cr seating, cross -lighting, lunch Smut's .warmth, cir)nalatihn of Pure air, etc., were all dealt with fully. Dr. Field introduced the subset of "Comoositien." He emphasized the lack of propcirchoosing e:t topics and this was illustrated. by seyeral ex- amples •of Compositions. Observa- tion, thought, and expression are the three esteiatirtis in order' to secure proper results from pupils. Subjects should vary according to grades. Choose subjects within child's exper- ience anch by help of pupils draw out a plan for same on blackboard. The subject of correction was cliscmessed, and what mistakes to look far in written compositions. Dr. Field also addressed the convention on the fol- lowing topics: School register, grants, Fire Protection League, Adolescent School Act and Promotion exams,' A lesson in .Physical Geography was taught by Mr. C.

Forty-four years ago today I left the farm in Tuckors,enit:h to attend' the Clinton Model School to, prepare myseif to teach school. I was quite a husky young fellow, eighteen years of age, but I had never attended any school except old No. 2 Tuck- ersnnith, and only it in the winter months, after I was able to work on the farm. I wrote at Goderich the previous July and had passed the ex- amination for a third class certifi- cate. Prior to 1877 there were no county Model Schools but that year they were instituted all over Ontar- io, and - there were two hn Huron one being in Clinton and the other in Goderich. As Clinton was nearer home I was sent there. My 'father drove one up to Clinton with the team and lumber wagon, Mr. Nath- aniel Cosecs also brought out his son, Asher • Cosens, from the West -end to attend the Model. Our fathers started out to hunt up a boarding house and got Cs located with Mr, and Mrs. McGann and be- fore leaving warned us to be good boys and atterfd to our studies, We assembled in the Principal's rcona that October morning, a large class of boys and girls, mostly from the farms of iIuron County, all desiring to become pedagogues. The princi- pal was ra tall, well-built Canadian- Scotclunnn and his name eves Donald McGregor Malloch. When he ascend- ed tine platform to assign us our work he looked with kindly, sym- ethetic blue eyes towards us and we soon recgnized him es a scholar and a gentleman and a friend of every pupil in school. .In after years I frequently met Mr. Malloch anti I taught for a number of years in his inspectorate and nothing gave nae amid my pupils more pleasure than his visits to my school. I also met 'Mr. Turnbull for the first time that morning. IIe was principal of the High School at that time and also gave us a few lectures. Ma.'Arrchi- bald Dewar of Seaforth was the School Inspector of East Huron at this time and he taught us school' law. I began to teach in his In- spectorate in Howick township the following January, 1878, We• we're divided up into sections and were required to teach in the various rooms. The roomnext to the prin- cipal's was taught by at Mf. Fraser, Med lie had a raw -hide that he :fre- quently used to punish some of the future professional and business met of Clinton, Mrs. Preston and Miss Croley, Miss Bond, Miss Fer- guson and Miss' Grundy were thw assistant teachers at this time.

The Ieispeetor of Model Schools' that year. was George W.

Every' important country in the world upholds Protection as an essential coo- noetic principle. Even Great Britain—so long the stronghold of Free Trade --has now adopted laws that constitute Pro- tection of the most effective kind, In fact, the present policy among most nations is towards raising their tariff walls, not lower- ing them. In the face of these facts it would be suicidal for Canada to do exactly the reverse and discard the fiscal system which has been responsible for its progress during the past forty-three years. Free Trade would mean death to Can- adian Industry. It would also result in the immediate closing down of Canadian plants of foreign firms, with consequent additionalunemployment. There are to -day 650 American factories alone in Canada. Similar proposed ventures would be aban- ' cloned. New capital would refuse to come to a Country lacking adequate protection and present industrial enterprise would be promptly strangled by foreign competition, The preservation of the home market by a Reasonable Protective Tariff is vital to both city dweller and agrarian alike --now as never before. More capital is urgently needed for the development of Canada's; enormous resources, which will result in • a lessening of unemployment and an in- ' creased population. More work and more workers will produce an enlarged home market for products of both city and farm, and the exodus of Canadianmen and women—and the dollars they earn—will be precluded. The United States has slammed her trade door in the face of Canadian farmers by adopting the Fordney Bill, and the farmer is consequently now even more dependent upon the home market than in the past. Yet Crerar asks you to destroy that home market by voting for Free Trade. King's policy—if he has one—will result in the destruction of the Tariff. Meighen stands four square for Reasonable Protection—Protection for all the people—and asks for an overwhelming mandate to give both industry and agriculture that assurance which will spell "prosperity for all. Indi- vidual prosperity depends upon National prosperity. Your personal interests and Canada's very existence hang upon your vote. •t Art"l y .f 414 fileAg The National Liberal and Conservative Party Publicity Committee ONE OF TUCKERSI,IITIl'S.ES- 'fEEJlED RESIDENTS PASSES There passed away, quite suddenly and after but a short illness, on Oct. 14th, an esteemed resident of Tuck- ersnnitln township in the person of William Graham Broadfoot, son of the late James Bradfoot, aged sev- enty-seven years and n7ee meths. .. The deceased began teaching school when he was nineteen Years of • age and later for a short time was en- gaged in the grain business in Sea - forth and still later was 'for some time connected with the late James Fair in the grain business in Clinton. • In 1885 he_returnedto the homestead in Tuckernith, where he continued to reside until his death. The late Mr. Broadfoot held re- sponsible positions in the municipal- ity, in various societies and in the Mutaul Fire Insurance Co. He was interested in ail public questions and was a great reacher. Anything that was for the betterment of the com- munity load ids smpathy anti he was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need of assistance. He was possessed of a sterling character and a cheerful disposition.• In relig- ion he was a Presbyterian, being a member of Willis church, Clinton., and in politics a Liberal, Mr. Broadfoot woos a native of Tuckcrsmitie, being born on the Bridgend farm an the 3rd concession, of Scottish parentage.

NEW SORT OF BIRD -MAN Away back in 1850, Charles Dar- win shocked the world by suggesting that man descended from an ape -like animal ,"proaibly arboreal'—that is ahwellinig in trees like the honkies anal Tel s- If there is truth in that much -dis- puted Darwinian theory, it would seem that man has not yet lost the primitive instinct to sleep in a tree when no better shelter and place of safety is available. We are lead to this reflection by a story' which comes from out neap Whitechurch. A couple of weeks ago a stranger arrived in that vicinity, tvho, instead of seeking accommoda- tion in the ordinary way, took to sleeping in a tree, The cold evenings were 'spent by at fire which he kin- dled near the root of his arboreal honne. The story is quite true, as the bed, or nest, is still to be seen in the tree, about twenty feet from the ground. A number of men from the vicinity salted of the stranger one day, and discovered that he,wes a foreigner, nimble to speak English intelligibly, ale pronounced tbee words Montreal and Detroit, but that seemed to be about the limit of his command of the English language.
