West Huron Teachers met in Con- vention at Goderich on October 9 and 10. The number of teachers, including visitors were 140.' * The fifty-third annual convention .of West Huron Teachers was held in Victoria School, - Goderich on Thursday and Friday, October 9 and 10. In absence of the president Miss Annie E. Consitt, •the! Vice- president Mr. P. A. Kilpatrick pre- sided. • ' -f The opening excercises were taken by Revs. R. C. McDerrnid and G. W. Butts, Inspector Beacom spoke in befitting terms of the late J. E. Toni, 1 who for the past fifty years contri- buted to the educational uplift- of the province first as a teacher and Iater as Inspector of the Schools ink „West Huron. During the forty- three years of inspection hie fore- most thoughts wer4 for the 'better- ment of the schools and teachers un-! by visiting other schools while in ' session and can, save much time, where there are many classes, by combining the grades where possible Al• , busy classroom is a quiet one so careful thought should be given to the seat work. Keeping in touch with School.and Home Clubs keeps parents and the teachers alive to what is most need- ed about the school. Teachers, en- thused" in their work, will create a like feeling in the pupils and par- ents to the effect that irregularity , will be overcome. Another --factor which contributes to success is the teacher's tenure in a school. Teachers flittin' • about get nowhere. Several suggestions 'were added by the teachers as to means of creating interest in attendance, der his supervision. Not only did he perform his duties as an educa- tionaliet but took an active interest in church circles. For many years he was superintendent of the Sab- bath School and a member of the Ses- sion. On motion of Beaeom-Stone- house the secretary was instructed to send a letter of condolence to tine bereaved widow and family. The minutes of 1929 session were read and adopted. . • Mayor MacEwan addressed words of welcome to the teachers and commented on the nobility of their calling. He paid tribute to their faithfulness in the class -rooms •and to the untiring devotion to duty outside its walls as members of the community where in many cases they are regarded as leaders, j Mr. Palmer A. 'I s' gate to the 0. E, A. gave his report on the proceedings of that teachers' parliament, Space will not allow a lengthy abstract of this paper which covered several departments. A. copy of the proceedings ,may be ob- tained from the Secretary of the Association. :Mention of one item should at least he made that is with reference to - the use of cigarettes which at the present day is becom- ing. so common and ' which is so ▪ strongly condemned by leading au- {horities. The report called for close attention at the sessions and for careful thought in its preparation. Mr. Beacom under "Observations" drew the attention of the teachers to many items of interest. The work of the•Second Book with few exceptions, should be covered in one year. Composition exercises in junior grades should be largely re- productive stories outlined on.. the black board. The old method of learning the multiplication tables should be discontinued and should be presented as facts. A now meth- od of marking examination papers y the point system should be 'in- troduced. By this method credit is given the pupils for each correct art, only deducting marks for the ncorrect portions of work. The Id method of. 'right' or 'wrong' is n rather unfair to the students. c Announcements were made by the Inspector and Secretary regarding books sent for inspection and the luncheon to he held at the noon hour. Owing to the appointed' aud- itors, Messrs. G. Rawson and A. J. Brintnell, leaving the profession two others Messrs. C. Blowes and W. )r Davis were named, Rev. G, W. Butts addressed a few swords of appreciation to the work of P the teacher. He spoke of the in- i fluence of the teachers in their, re- OI spective communities where they, through close contact, leave lasting impressions. Miss Anna McDcnaId gave an ex- n •cellent paper on Domestic' Science—. s Hot Lunches in Rural Sehools— a Many children in these schools are p unable to return home for dinner r and, as a consecaenee;, are ; obliged to carry .to cold .meal with. them. This has been proven.a detriment to such pupils in their afternoon work. Serving a hot lun•ph is - not only beneficial to the pupils but gives the teacher an opportunity to impart useful knowledge in the preparation and in' the serving of food. Besides the . teacher may correct rude man- ners and faulty habits when detect ed. Before launching out in the new venture a meeting of parents and trustees should be called to talk over preparatory work such as procuring utensils, food, etc. ?Pupils supply cups, forks, knives, etc. Officers are appointed and the menu- made out for each week, Pupils in charge make prepare- tions. before nine o'clock and at re- cess so that the meal may be seri- ed at 12.05. They remove the dirty dishes to be washed. At this final operation instructions may be given in caring for silverwe, etc, and many .false impressions may be cor- rected. charge for hydro .pow.er to rural sehouls;e Cried.', 4. That a new .

Robinson, President of the Women's Fedora - tion, explained the plan 'of the new scheme of group insurance lately devised. This is considered an ad- vantage to the teachers but is option- al. The preni]ums are • quite reason- able. and all members of'the 'Pedera- tion are eligible for insurance with- out medical examination. The scheme is managed by the Dominon Life Insurance Co: The plans of with- drawal.of funds are similar to those of any°'•insurance company, ,The :Convention Separated .to'•dis- cuss Federation matters. The •nien have no organization but the won1en •have. Their election of officers re, salted as follows: Pres. Miss 0 .Finni- gan, Hensall; Vice -President, Miss A. McDonald, Goderich; Sec'y; Treas. Miss Mabel Bailie, Goderich. • Mr., Ian MFLeod; of !Clinton, Agri- cultural Representative,• discussed School Fairs. • These:. are becoming very popular and are increasing in number from year to year. The ' first fair held was .it 1910, 'at Gait, and from that beginning development followed ra- pidly.. ,In 1912, it was adopted as a department of Agriculture. In 1930 569 Fairs were held in the province .with 4879 rural schools taking part. To make these a success co-opera- tion of the teachers, parents, pupils ' and inspectors is required 'but es- peeially that'of the teacher. The chief drawback to themm is the fact -that Parents and other outsiders often do the work,„ which . should be done by the pupils themselves, • Hilda were given as to how to prepare exhibits for the fair. Last year fifteen fairs were held in Hur- on County:" The •debartmeut sent out 200 bushels of oats, 150 bush- egs of barley • and 100 'bushels of wheat, Pupils are given theoppor= tunity of competing in spelling con- tests,' public speaking and in • music during fain day or at a' night meet- ing r1'he paper was very helpful to• the teachers and a number of questions were answered. A hearty :clap show- ed the appreciation of the teachers. o At this stage Miss Helen Hayter rendered a pleasing solo which broke the monotony of the meeting. Mr. H. G. Lockett, M.A., of Ham- ilton gave his second paper on "The Forward Moventent in Education" which was listened to with rapt at- tentions He reviewed the great ad- vancement made- in education since the early days and specially men- tioned the Federation of the present day as being alive to progress and the people in general after greater efficiency. He spoke of the cost of Education and of the great drift of teachers to other callings. Great privileges are available now to obtain higher standing for teachers. There are the extension work of the Universities, Sumner Schools, Home Classes. One professor defines education as being "what you have left when you have forgotten all you have learned at schools." Education of the present day is training more for citizenship along such lines as public speaking, executive work, debating, etc. He gave as the cause of the drift of teats ers to other professions. the pit- tance of• salary received after years of service rendered as compared with the earnings in other . professions Doctors, lawyers, etc., never make their chosen profession a stepping stone to 'other callings as teachers do, The best students our second- ary achooIs and universities can pro- duce are needed to teach our schools. School Boards fail to recognize and reward the successful teachers at the time of re-engagement but treat all alike. "The best bankers, doc- tors, lawyers, etc," are those who .were at one time teachers was his closing remark. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered him. Miss Margaret A. Pentland, gave a splendid paper on the work of the Red Cross which since 1854 has (Continued on page 7) She suggested, frequent reviews of the work of the' previous grade with a gradual move into more difficult numbers involving units,, tens, hun- dreds. 'The extension table of com- bination may now be made more ' general. Several devices used in her class room were • exhibited. A' gradgal move from: the concrete to abstract?. should be gradually intro-, dueed and oral work in multiplica- tion and division given. A number of useful suggestions for seat work was presented. To break the monotony at this ' point a spell of open discussion was given after which Miss M. Wilson of Goderich .delighted the Conven- tion with a solo, . 1 Miss M. Rowe, of Exeter, followed with .a paper on Second Book Arith- metic. She would first review the extension tables and multiplication facts. Division may be takenin eon - junction with multiplication " first orally then in written problems. The next step leads to cancellation which involves both operations. Next conies units of measurements, etc., till the course is covered, !Miss '32 Horton, of Exeter, gave a paper on Third Class Arithmetic The first few weeks should be spent itpareview of the work of the previous grade. • More exacting solutions should be demanded. Accuracy in this grade should be the• aim. Mr. 11. Stonehouse, of Goderich, followed with a paper on Fourth Book Arithmetic. As with the other grades reviews should be taken to serve as a foundation before the more advanced work be given. He recommended following the Course of Study and the use of the "Oppor- tunity Plan" a new and detailed outline of the course just published. Oral work should always preeeed the written exercises and, pupils' Amid become familiar with the text book on the subject, The Fifth Class Arithmetic was presented by. Mr. 0.
