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.

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.

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.

Report cards, good for discipline and attend- •ante. She believes there are as many 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- vention Ile ten"dere(1•'those who so. wil'lingly entertained us at the even- ing" session, • thd6) That the committee consider ' idea of the small eonforenee a great help to the teachers and that this be enlarged in' -the future.

Night Time me of the Elighways 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. To showha yousupport t s pport this movement put the sticker on your car, "I'm for Care and Courtesy. Are You?"
