FROM OTTAWA.
Premier Bennett's plan to find a
permanent market for Canadian
wheat and other agricultural p-th-
ducts its Britain, together with • his
statement of policy to promote inter -
Empire trade was made public
through the Imperial, Conference at
Londonjust twu months e•fter he
took office as Prime Minister of
Canada.
The twenty -minute Speech in
.which he made clear Canada's posi-
tion and pleaded for mutually bene-
ficial preferences as the only lasting
foundation Of Empipre -Trade devel-
opment has been proclaimed in Brit-
ain as one of the must important de-
clarations ever made by an overseas
statesmaa.
Mr. Bennett- took the questioa out
of the realm of vague platitudes and
placed it upon the gnound of. de-
finite realities. In other words - the
Canadian Premier abandoned after-
dinner speaking and made a concrete,
practical offer to Britain and the
other Dominions. If they will buy
our wheat we will give them better
preferences for their goods. There
was no beating about the bush in
what Mr. 'Bennett had to say. He did
not set himself up as a savtour of the
Empire and made no pretense that he
was not animated first byea desire to
help Canada. The primary cenceru of
Canada, he declared, was to find a
profitable market for her wheat.
. . .
"This market we want, and- for it
we are willing to pay by giving in the
Canadian market preferences for Brit-
ish goods.
"I offer to the Mother Country and
to all other parts of the Empire a
prefereine in the Canadian market in
exchange for like preference in theirs,
based upon the addition of aooten per
cent, increase in the prev,ailing gen-
eral tariffs, or upon tariffs yet to be
created." •
That is that. If the people of 'Brit-
ain are really anxious for a prefer-
ence in Canadats market, if they real-
ly want to sell as more goods, if, in
other words, they are donderned in a
practical way with the matter of Im-
perial trade, their chance is now be-
fore them. Mr, Bennett is not inter-
aeritig, ndt trying to interfere, with
their domestic fiscal policy. He has
merely taken hold of something that
everybody has been talking about,
and professing to want; reduced it to
an offer, to a plan.
The advantages of the proposition
are obvious.
It avoids the clear impossibility of
what is known as Empire Free Trade.
It gives British manufacturers an
advaatage ip Canadee markets with-
out endangering the position of oue
own nianufacturers.
It provides for still higher duties—
in some in stances much needed—
against countries like the United
States.
It in no way interferes with the
policy of adequate protection for all
.Canadian industries.
It peovides for the best of all per-
manent markets for Canadian wheat.
By providing this •wheat market,
profitably, it should reconcile the
western ',farmer to a policy of pro-
tection for industry.
Whether the British people are pre-
pared to accept Mr. Bennett's offer,
remains to be seen. It May indeed,
take some time to find out.. Mr. Ram-
say MacDonald and Mr. Philip Snow-
don, traditional free traders, may well
raise the old cry about taxing British
Food , but while Mr. IVIacDonald. and
Mr, 'Snowdon are presently the Gov-
ernment of Britain, they are not the
people of Britain. A•nd a lot of water Services at 11 a.m, and 7.30 p.m.
has run down the Thames since the
days of Joseph •Cham,berlain. •
No is it at all sure that Mr. Ben-
nett's proposer would tea British
food dearer. Why should it
make it dearer if the Empire has
enough food to supply its own needs,
and supplies it at a reasonable price ?
The rest .of the world issnot anxious
to sell wheat at less thin a prOfit.
. .
The compensation which Mr, Ben-
nett offers Britain in return for a
preferential market for iCan.adian
wheat is the regular employmeat of
thousands of British workmen in in-
dustries which will be granted a con -

Mr, Crawford also brought to the
attention ,of the teachers the neceS-
sity of keeping exact written records
of -the leagth of time ta.ught and sal-
ary received in each school, so as to
avoid trouble in connection with the
settling of claims from the Superan-
nuation Fund.
A. most interesting" paper was that
given by Miss Reid of Blyth an
"Fifth Form ia Public Schools." The
trend towards higher education has
resulted in a large increase ti the
number of Rural Public Schools de-
manding the eetabliehmeat 'of Fifth
Claisses. Financial conditions • of
arenas, and the early age at which
soine childrenepass the Entrance are
tvvo factors that ,prevent children from
being sent from home to attend High.
Schools or Ookleigiate Institutes in
larger centres, There are many dif-
ficulties' in successfully carrying on
thework. Ths is especially true of
Scieace, owing to the difficulty .of
procuring, proper equipment. This
however, can be largely overcome by
an ingenious teacher, as she showed
in relating her experiences in, teach-
ing capillarity and osmosis with home
made equpment. The fact -that most
rural schools are heated oaly in day-
time oftea militates, agaittet experi-
ments that require long periods of
time to complete. Geography, mape
drawing, alt, grammar., history and
algebra sh.e./ thought were subjects
that could -most profitably make up
the greater part of the curriculum in
Fifth classes. One of the difficulties,
too, is that. many of the fifth classes
are very small, often only one or two
in a class, and School Boards hesitat-
ed to make substaatial expenditures
where so few are taloing the work.
After Dr, Field had commersted oa
the euccess of Fifth Classes in com-
peting with others in after years in
higher classes of the high school, the
forenoon session adjourned to at-
tend a dinner give in St. Andrew's
Chutrctlihehall by the Ladies' Aid.
A
noon hour after an excep-
tionally well -served dinner the eon-
ventioa listened with. delight to the
speakerprovided by the Department
of Education, Dr. Amoss, of Toronto,
who spoke regarding the training of
children requiring special methods of
training to fit them for taking their
places in the world, "Industry," he
said. "has learned, in late years, to
utilize what were formerly waste
products, and therein to find its pro-
fits. Education is now realizing that
what was once waste can be educated
to became useful and helpful mem-
bers of the aociety. He cited epecific
instateces, showing that some of
these "differenteminded" had become
leaders in various walks of life. • He
showed what is now being done for
those who are not able to learn from
the printed page in special classes
for what he ternted "direct learners,"
Provision is now made by the De-
partment of Education to give these
people a chance, by means of Auxil-
iary Classes,. specially qualified
teachers and by special grants to
such classes in towns and cities.

Geography." His clever use of the

Maple Sugar" as intensely inter-
esting, and was a revelation of what
can be done with quite simple equip-
ment that can be prepared by almost
any child. The use of perspective in
the arrangement of figures irt his
composition added to the reality of

address he presented For the inspec-
doe of' the teaches, a great .many

able training and more lasting re-
sell's can be obtained by setting the
hands of the pupils to work, rather

Mr. Bennett is ready to extend mater-
ial preferences to Britain against for-

Is ready to ,establish a permanent and
reasonably profitable market for Can.-
adian agricultural products.
Mr. Bennett suggested that the var-
ious units of the Empire devote six
months to a definite and' detailed
study of all the angles of his plan and
then meet ip conference in Ottawa
early next year to proceed with the
consideration of its adoption.
Thus far the reaction amongst the
British public may be considered fav-
ourable, It will, however, take probe
ably two months to accurately gauge
sentiment and it may take a lon,ger
period and, momentous political
developments in Britain to bring
about any definite acceptance of the

'Dr. J. M. Field, Inspector of East
Huron, addressed his teachers, re-
minding them of the necessity, cif
promptness in sending in Attendance
Reports and Annual Reports as well
as accuracy in filling them out. He
reported that the results of the En-
trance Examination in 1930 had been
very satisfactory, 85 per cent of the
candidates having been successful.
He recoinmended that if the teachers
required a continuation.of the system

Council in assuming the costI:atin s:Ci CaPttithiniloebtly::
papers. A majority of the teachers
favoured continuing the uteiform pap-
ers, Dr. Field concluded his talk with
ail explanation of tile various grants
both to rural and town schools,
Miss Dorothy Reinke of Tucker-
smth illustrated her inethods in
teaching Composition to a class sup-
plied by tilt Wingham Public School.
The subject chosen was "A Country
Scene in Autumn," • 'She developed
by questioning ideas of autumn and
Iediati Summer, compared the Sea-
sons and bad the pupils arrive at
the impressions they desired to give,
e.g., leisure, quietness, b Lin dan CO.
They then chose words and phrases
suited to expresa their impressions.
The results of the lawn as shown in
the composition plans were satis-
factory and showed that with proper
teaching this very 'diffictitt subject
can be brought to a much higher
plane, than is usually achieved in
our Public.Schools.
Dr. Amciss, next demonstrated the
'teaching of Geographyein a Senior
Third Class in a lesson on the indus-
tries of Oana.d.a. Using ,the sandl
table he built up an effective tableau
of the cod4fishing indhstry • of the
:Wartime Provinces, showing how the
fish are caught with hook and line,
long trawl and otter-trawb and the
curing of the fish on ,the drying
rack. He .recommended making the
objects used in these leSsons by .ptt-
pits for h•ornework, . and promised
more' satisfactory results than are
usually obtaiaed from homework of
the more stereotyped kind usually
given.- An interesting exhibit of marts
built up with plasticine and other
materials, as well as models of O.
pulp -mil, a salt -factory and other in-
tereeting . phases of industry, con-
structed by intermediate pupils, many
of whom were of the type who do
not care to read, concluded his ad-
dress. Dr. Amoss was a most popu-
lar speaker, and the Institutei
was n -
deed favoured in having him address
them.
A very interesting item of the pro-
gramme was the picture -study by
Miss Johns of Wingham, with her
class of tiny children, After the sing-
ing of an October song, the ptc-
lure "Saved" by Edwin Landseer was
studied. After a short talk on the
childhood 81 the artist, the pictttre
was studiecl in its most prominent
characteristics, then in its minor de-
tails. The story was developed,- and
the response by the class testified
to the excellence of the preparation
by Miss Johns, and the Interest
aroused in the class.
.The Institute decided to offer again ,
prizes for leatiing pupils at ,the
traMce in 1931, at the various centres
in East Huron.
Dr. Field closed the mornng ses-
sion with an address on "Better
English." Although he found the
English of teachers to be above the
average, yet on, varioes occasions he
had found teachers guilty of inex-
cusable errors, and gave some quite
glaring examples. This he blamed
largely on early traitting,• environ-
ment, or carelessness rather than on
leek of knowledge of correct usage.
He urged teachers to cultivate the
power of expressing clearly and cor-
rectly. He compared English with
other languages, and showed that it,
best of all, is capable of expressing
any thought or feeling adequately
and is constantly beiag added to, so
that it is always efficient. He de-
plored our carelessness in our pro-
nouncing final let•ters, as well 0.1
tendency to ilia slang _ expressions.
As a means of improvement he, sug-
gested the study of the history of
words from a good dictionary, the
reading nf good authors, practice in
good letterawriting, translation of
Latin and other languages, but above
all self -inspection.
iOn Friday afternoon the conven-
tion broke tip into sections for the
study of probleins peculiar to the
various classes. These sections were
led by representatiere teachers of
these particular classes as follows:
Fourth book, Edwin Crawford of
Seaforth; third book, Miss Gladys
}Tinton, of Win gliatn; second. book,
Mies Mary Bell, Seaforth; first book
and primary, 'Miss Annie Little of
Wroxeter,
