A Column Prepared Especially for Women
But Not Forbidden to Men
Are Canadians'' realty lacking in the
"me virtue.of hospitality? A people
so fortunately situated and of such
stoct. certainly should not show such
a lack but the thought has been sug-
gested by the fact that several vis-
itors to the Dominion during the past
summer, (and, -by-the-way, Canada
entertained a number of very inter-
esting and distinguished visitors dur-
ing the past summer) expressed the
wish to See more of the home, life of
Canadians. These visitors were 'en-
:tertained to dinners; luncheons,
'spreads of different sorts and of vary-
'ing degrees of formality, but these
feasts were always given at some
'hotel or /club. 'Between these public
'entertainments ;` the visitors were
"shown about the't6wns' and cities, or
allowed to a muse"theniselvos at beat
-they could at their own Hotels.- They
•saw nothing of how' ' the public men,
•captains of industry, newspaper edi-
tors, fainters, or pplitical leaders
really lived.
Wanted to See Inside' of Home
One of the . visiting . English edi-
tors when in Winnipeg expressed a
desire to see something. eCanadian
the
Home life. Indeed, wa3c he
put it
• -was,,.-when asked by one of his hosts
'if there Was anything,' he had not
'seen that he would like to see, ,"Yes.
I should like to see the inside of a
'Canadian home:' That was candor,
now, wasn't pit? Well,' this ;Winnipeg
-man was game. His wife had been
away for some weeks at their sum-
• mer home and his house was not'` in
just the best shape, at least he knew
:his wife' would not so consider it.
But as he knew most' of his friends
were in the came condition he could
-do no less than take the visitor home
with him, which, he did. He thought
perhaps the Englishman would he
content to sit down and smoke in the
living room, But, `no, He was inter-
ested in the home, and insisted upon
seeing the house from garret to Cel-
lar, and when the evening was over
. • lie told his host that it was the pleas -
'mutest evening he had spent while in
"Canada,
Englishmen Love Home
It is a well-known fact that Eng -
1
lishmen love their homes' (alid:'what
greater, thin; could be said of any
people?) and it' is not to be wondered
at that they grew a bit weary,of the
continual formal entertainment' and
longed for the simplicity of the, hoine.
No doubt a'man thousands of miles
from his own hone and family would
appreciate being received into the
home•oi someone else, where the for-
mality of the public function cout&be
thrown off; where' he would Meet 'the.

costume, including hat and furs and
a pearl necklace, which she is wont
to don when aeociilpanying iter •bus-•

is never more • charming than when
presid ng at her own table, and if the,
visitor .could only overhear her warn
Johnny- not to, &eine to table without
washing his, hands, and Mary not to

make him,, feel that much more - "at

such a warm, •pleasant glow about
the heart -al to be. Invited into some-
one's home and made welcome to the

' The -first paper Thursday afternoon
was taken by Miss M. G. N. Irving of
the Hamilton Normal ISehool on "How
to Improve- our English." She very
cleverly brought out the reasons • for
improvement: of 'speech and different
means of procuring it. English lan-
guage should be prized. Trashy novels
too easily obtained and too readily
grasped by the youth o"f the country,
This could be overcome by creating
in the pupils s4love for good litera-
ture and authors.,Pronunciation is
spoilt in many people by poor articu-
lation due to (1) Ignorance of/sounds.
(2) Failure to diseriminate between
like sounds. (3)' Slovenly use of the
vocal organs. (4) Torpid will• Will
power and self resolution are neces-
sary to overcome the difficulties of
utterdnce, articulation eccentutation
and enuneiation. She pointed out a
number of examples which would tend
to procure the desired d unitY an
d
smoothness of speech.

evening session- when ,a program eon-
sisi;in of vocal and instrumental
music, readings and community sing-

ers feel indebted to the 'people of

pointed out the difficulties of review-

advantages as problems in a large,
school.
Miss H. Delaney continued the dis-
cussion emphasizing the lack of suf-
ficient time for individual help and
-teaching as well as homework cor-
rection. In a large school the prob-
lems of gifted normal and subnormal
children presented a problem. At the
end of the paper much useful discus-
sion took place with regard to the
above problems.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Mt..Ashton; vice-
porsident, Miss McKay; secretary -
treasurer, Mir. Sellers; librarian, Dr.
Field.
Executive committee—IVIr. G. Jef-
ferson, Miss L. Parrott, Mr, N. Muir,
Blyth Public School Staff. Auditors:
1Vliss Mills, Miss Strong. Delegate to
0. E. A.: Miss P. Buchanan.
Dr. Field gave a very instructive
address in "Some Hints in Teaching
Arithmetic." In teaching arithmetic
the teacher must bear in mind the
use of practical problems and the
mental training or: development of
the' inind that • arithmetic gives the
pupils. Accuracy in arithmetic is the
first requisite, He thought that di-
vision of fractions was given too
early as very little use was made of
division of fractions in outside life.
More mental arithmetic is needed on
account of its practical value and be-
cause of the development of mental
activity.
Friday Afternoon
On Friday afternoon Mr. G. R. Pet-
erson of Clitnon gave an interesting
address on "Sone New Ideas in Agri-
culture." He brought the relation of
science of agriculture, showing'. that
agricutluie is a science. He explained
the different kinds of research for
new ideas and why made (1) For the
love of it. (2) Fundamental re-
search for the making and establish -
jug of facts. (3) Experimental Pc -
search. (4) Fit and try ntethdd of
research. He wondered if the science
of agriculture was keeping pace with
other sciences, He dwelt on the ad-
vancee agriculture has made in Bri-
tain by developing a pasture of the
sane composition as milk.
The teachers were entertained and
instructed by motion pictures for the
remainder of the afternoons
The following resolutions were
brought in:
• (1) That we, the East Huron
Teachers' -Institute tender a vote of.:
thanks to the Boarcl 'of Management
of the United Church for the use of
the building for our convention, -
(2) That a vote of 'appreciation he
tendered Reeve .Backer for his very
appropriate words of welcome also to
Mr. Barker for the Opening Exer-
eises. •.
(3) That the thanks of the con-
vention be tendered those who pre -
'pared and delivered papers, leetiiree,
or in any way helped toward the edu-'
eational value of our meetings.
(4) That the thanks of the con-

The motor car with glaring headlights is a:danger to its
own driver and a terror to others on the highway.
Drivers moving in the opposite direction are deprived of
sight to guide their cars. -
A good garage mechanic can focus headlig hts so that -
they do not glare.. Drivels can do it. themselves b
following printed.instructions. The Department of
iiIigtiways will mail you without charge complete
instructions. Test your headlights often to. be assured
they do not glare. You are responsible. Lams are
designed for the roadway and not the other driver's
eyes or the tree tops. Night driving must be made safe,
Never drive with only one headlamp lighted or tail
light out.
Brakes and steering gear should' be kept in perfect
condition at all times. Your car must obey if you wish
it to be safe for you and not a menace to others.
The concentrated effort in behalf of safety on the high-
ways is meeting with a widespread and active support.
Co-operation from every motorist is asked so that the
'example set during this period may take a permanent
hold of the consciousness of alt who use the highways.
It is the duty of everybody to learn how accidents may
be prevented.
