Posliff, principal of the Wingham pub- lic school. Devotional exercises were led by Rev. H. W. Snell, and an 'ad- dress of welcome was delivered by Mayor. Willis. An excellent report of the O. E. A. convention was given by the delegate 4V1iss Margaret Willis, in which the main features of the meetings were in- terestingly presented to the teachers The paper of Miss B. Carter, of No. 6 Turnberry, was full of helpful sugges- tions to teachers of primary classes in arithmetic. In the afternoon Miss Sotheran, of the Wingham staff, kept the poachers interested in her ;outline of art and construction work in the primary classes, showing the work of her classes in developing in pictures the thought of their lessons. Mr. Davison, of the Hamilton Nor- mal School, gave most interesting talk on teaching how to think, placing this phrase of the teacher's work high- est among his. activities. Dr. Field gave a literary talk on Hugh Miller's schools and • schoolmasters, ranking him -"high among Victorian prose wri- ters, and placed before his audience the means by whictt as a stonemason he'became one of the leading geolog- ists, and because he loved good books, one of the leading journalists and wri- ters. Friday Sessions The election of officers"resulted lit the following selections: President, N. M. Geddes. Vice -President, -Miss Ida Cornish. Sec.-Treas., A. F. Johns, all of Clin- ton. Librarian, Dr., Field..' Executive Committee, Miss Ruby Taylor, Mr. Earl Webster, Mr, Wil- fred Bisbee, staff of Clinton Public Scliool. Auditors, Mr, R. J. Beattie,. Mr, F, Fowler. Delegate to O. E. A., Miss Mary McNaughton: A, geography lesson on the rivers of Ontario was a very instructive it- em on the morning program, and was greatly enjoyed by, all. Later all 'ad- journed to the school' grounds where a series of games was run off by Mr: Posliff and his pupils. In his second lecture Mr. Davidson spoke about "Arithmetic and its cor- relations". He believes that the train- ing received in any subject is most • useful in that particular suyect. Arith- metic is most valuable as a practical subject. Many powers of the mind are exercised in it, and the powers' of analysing, arranging, combining facts and habits of conciseness, clearness, accuracy and concentration are form ,ed by it. Good English, proper ab- breviations and punctuation should al ways be required. Mr. Brackenbury, Principal of the Wingham. High School, ,gave an in-. •structive lesson on the "Honey Bee," He described the various parts of the insect and their uses and told in a very interesting manner about many of the activities of the bee in its col- ony or cummunity life. The concluding paper of the pro- gram was given by Mr. Crawford of Seaforth, upon the subject, "Spelling", He% believes the teaching of spelling may be improved by teaching approp- riate wordsin each grade, and by a good selection of words. The new spelling book is written and arranged very systematically and provides for tests, study and review lessons. Pro- per pronunciation and anlysss of long words greatly assists in obtaining cor- rect spelling. Short, well prepared les- sons are usually best. Records of er- rors should be kept for frequent re- ie s. TIN Resolution Committee present- ed the following report: "Be it resolved that we tender a vote bf thanks to the people of Wing - ham who Have helped make this con- vention a success. • ."A vote of thanks to Mayor Willis for his address of welcome. "A vote of thanks to all who have ttakenpart in the proceedings, partic- ularly to Mr. Davidson.

The singing of the National Anth- em brought a very successful conven- tion to a close. The next convention will be held in Clinton. • A. L. Posliff, President; A. F. Johns Secretary -Treasurer.

W n harn Population Increased in Spite Of E p y Factories Only ordinary routine business was attended to at the regular monthly meeting of the Wingham Town Council held on Monday night. Mr. E. J. Mitchell was the only absent member from the board. The assessor's roll was returned. In a letter to. the council Mr. McLean explained that the reason the roll was not complete was due to the fact that we have yet to receive returns - from several sources on income. Probably never before has the town as a whole, the places of business and the private residences been as clean and neat as they' are this year, There is however, a couple of large factories owned by the C. F. M. which we would all like to have running full blast but until such time as the owners will sell them at a reasonable figure, we must be contented. Wingham would be at the.top of the ladder if we could have 200 or 30o men employed in these shops and they would be' there if these factories were still privately owned. • The following summary of the stac- ticts are: -The actual value of land assessed at $229,975; the value' of Building's on a so to 65 per cent..val- ue, $808,o6o; the value of property as- sessed for schools only $25;750; tate va- lue of local improvements only; is $280,750;. the value of business assess- ment is $92,1oo; the value: of income will run about $25,000, making a to- tal of $1,461,63o. the value" of Gov- ernment property $53,o0o; the value of Municiliai property is $170,000; the value of School property is $45,0oo; the value of Church property is $63,000. The population has increased some 25 or 3o being due to the number at- tending schools and colleges. The number of deaths runs about 20 and births about 15. There are 357 hale persons between the ages of 21 and 6o. Dogs continue at about 80. Mr. McLean concluded his letter by suggesting that the coun- cil go back to the spring assessing and that taxes should be collected in only two instalments viz 3oth of June. and ;14th of December as that would give the clerk a betfer chance to pre- pare the voter's list. More Fresh Raspberries Mr. O. V. Hayden brought a nice freshly plucked raspberry branch into the editor's sanctum on Tuesday ev- ening. There were several large red berries on it He plucked it from a sheltered spot near the C. N. R. track. 'Mission Bands Of Maitland Pres.
