Joh McKay & Sons, of Tuckerstnith, got a very; line thoroughbred bull Calf off the train here on Wednesday morning.--I- Mr. Arthur Forbes has moved intb new residence. on Victoria Square, and Mr.! Armitage's family have removed to Torbnto.--The night. school in connec- tiois with the Mechanics' Institute will open on Friday evening next. It should be lergelY patronized by the young men of the town.—The entertainment in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation on Wednesday evening was not well, attended, but it was a most pleasant affair. These hutertainments should. be more largely attended, especially by the young men of the towo, as they would find them both pleasant and profitable.— A new roof of tin shingles is being put on St. Thomas' church. Mrs. John Kidd has the con -1 tract.—Mrs. Coulter is again sufficiently recohered to be.able to teke her place in the School—At a recent meeting of the Public School Board it was decided to re-engage all the present teachers for , next year if they are willing to remain for their present salaries The scl 1 leo 1 never had a more efficient staffi—Mt.

Mr. Govenlock says he wonld have quite a large crop, but a grub destroys the fruit before it ripens. • THEY CAN'T GET HIM.—The author- ities of the Brockville collegiate Insti- tute have been trying hard lately to secure the services of Mr. Haggerty the very effecient second master of the Seaforth High School. They first of- fered him a salary of one thousaud dol- lars a year, and when they foutid that would not bring him they asked him to name his own terms. We understand, however, that the trustees here, have decided very wisely to retain Mr. Hag- garty's services if possible and have raised his salary to one thousand dol- lars a year, and that he has agreed to remain with ins. The enviable recotri made by the' Seaforth High School is attracting very general attention from those interested in educational matters elsewhere, and the result is seen not only in the continued large attendance in the schoot, but in the persistent ef- forts sa frequently made by other places to secure the services of our teachers. The present prineipal of the Hiigh School and his efficient assistants have won for the institutiou a high repu- tation, and it must be gratifying to he staff to know that their services r • properly appreciated by the trust e and people. ON WHICH SIDE.—DEAR EXPOSITOR. --I was sorry that the Mayor was un- able to be present at either of the meet- ings held to discuss the High SchoOl by-law, as his preSence might have ohl viated the necessity for this commun4 icatiort. In his remarks the Chairman of the meeting on Friday night stated that the Mayor, one of the largest 'tax- payers of the town was in favor of the by-law. This statement was flatly e,ontradieted by a gentleman in the aud- ience who said that the Mayor _had, on the previous day told him that he, (the Mayor) was strongly opposed to the by- law. No w„ both statements can't be right he can't be both opposed to it and. in fal,-or of it. The Mayor is the chief exeeutive officer of the town and I thmk that on an important question of this kind_he should deelate himself 'and! let his ecnadtituents know on which side he really is. Speak out, Mr. Mayo r speak out, and don't be afraid to let the people know which aide you are on. No person has any doubt as to the opinions of the Reeve and Deputy Rare ors this subject. They have coine out boldly aad avowed their sentiments, and I am sure owe worthy Mayor is no less courageous than they, aod that he come out like a man and relieve the sus - pease by sayine which side he is on.— AN Axxlaus Et'NQUIREA.

The semi-annual meeting of the West Huron 'Teed era' Assopiation was held in Goderieh cln Thursday and Friday of last week. The convention was largely - attended and! was tin eyery respect one of the most stic ,held by th welter, Presi -.and Dr. Mc Department, .essf 1 and profitable 'Association. Mr. 0 lent, occupied the c ella.n, of the Educat Toronto, and Dire General of Teachers' Institutes, present and aided much to the plea of the meeting. ,Dr. -McLellan prime favorite with the profession, his presence at a convention gives i and interest. The pleasing featur all his addreseess are his familiarity his subject, his concise and lo reasoning, hia genuine sympathy the teacher in his work, and his bility and unhounded humor and thusiasrn. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The President in his address, w was a yery able one, dealt princip with mind eulture, especially an teachers, whose business it is to t others. There had been organize the District reading circles, especi for teachers, and they should see t that such a golden opportunity was allowed to slip by without profiting the advantages offered. If teachers proved all their opportunities for m culture, their influence would be. gr er in their schools directly, and both rectly and indirectly upon society large. Without continued culture, teacher becomes humdrum and loses fluence. LITERATURE IN. SCHOOLS. Dr. Mc.Lellan delivered a very teresting and useful- address on Lite ture in Schools. He said he did want to lay down any iron rule, nor vocate any specific method for teaeh this important subject, but the prin ples which should serve as guides the true teacher. That we do not le so much by imitation as by absorb as it were, the right and true principt and that should be the main -spring action. The teachers doing the b work are those who instil into childr a love for good literature, and that our best books contain a central tru about which our thoughts and asp ations turn. That • although scrap piece literature was good enough in place and- a greet deal better than no at all, yet continuous reading of sot articular line of works produces f ietter and more lasting results. T octor, continuing, said a vast amou f mental energy was wasted every ye n reading bad literature, and express de regret that the old system of librari n schools had been discontinued, as 1 hought they had proved and wou rove, if! again instituted, a power in t and for mind colture. The aim shou e in furnishing such a library to supp le gems of literature, of which the ere a great choice ; to select those, n illy suited to the capacity of adult ut also of children, so that teache lay not only encourage good readin ut that they may have the material and to supplY the •dernand.

The miserable in dry system, teo often pursued in teach- ing this subject, was very objectionable; what we wan in our schools is life and a life-givin influence ; that there is toceemuch barr n material thrust into thp memorit th t renders it unfruitful. Teachers should strive to create an ap- petite, rather t n 'store the mind with meaningless ru Ash ; that it is not the quantity, but t'' quality. COLLEGE OE PRECEPTORS, : Mr. H. I. St ng of Goclerich High School in a neat address introduced the subject of Th adviiability of estab- lishing a Colle e of Preceptors. He took the ground hat it would, and point - out the adv ntages aimed at, both • teachers an the public generally, it would ten to raise the teacher's riding, not only intellectually, but ofessionally a d soeially.. It would 1 the professi of those who merely went into it as a stepping stone to some- thing, in their, estimation, higher. Mr - Strang read Several extracts from a paper read at the Provincial'Association, by Mr. Dickson, on the subject. To give the Vublic a fair idea of the aim of this proposed Co lege of Preceptors, we uote from a circ lar with reference to q it, the folldwing :—" Its aims, broadly stated/ should be o promote sound learn- ing and to advan e the interests of edu- cation by admitting to the teaching pro- fession only those who are fitted for the work, to improve the position of the profession, and Ito protect the public from incompeteiAteachers." This ques- tion created a lively discussion iniwhich many joined, after which a reselution agreeing to the scheme in the main was passed. .PROMOTION! EXAMINATIONS. Inspector Toms then introduced " Uni- form Promotion Examinations." showipg its benefits as observed and reported by those who had wdrited under the system. Mr. Toms classifled the advantages of such a system, under several heads, the principal of which being the following : (1st) It fixes the work of each class. (2nd) It gives the teacher and pupil a definite time to perform prescribed work. (3rd) It would strengthen the teacher in ' his position and tend to permanence. (4th) A definite courlie would confine the attention of the ocher and pupil and thereby secure ter and I more lasting results. (5th) So rior to the present system, which is too irregular and in- definite, and tend te create indifference. The Inspector pr sehted the case ably, and concluded by urging the adoption of some such syst m by the teachers of West Huron. T is paper produced a lively discussion during which many valua.ble hints w re thrown out and much information of importance could be gleaned. Several methods were pro- posed and fully; discussed, finally the following resoluthm was carried, 'al- most unanimouslyl—That a committee, compOsed of Nies*. Morrish, Gregory, Holman, Brown, Crassweller, George Baird, sr., and Inepector -Toms, be ap- pointed to draft scheme for " Pro - the scheme be d scussed at the next [ motion Examinat ons," that the same be printed, and se t to each teacher for examination durin 7 the half year, that meeting, in "Exete , and that teachers not present at said meeting be allowed to vote by proxy. READING; IN SCHOOLS. i On the subject of reading in schools,Dr. McLellan said am ng other things that more attention w being paid to this subject now than few years ago, still there was room for improvement.

Following the law of ease people were disposed to speak carelessly, and pay little attention to correct forms of ex- pression. Teachers should he the first to, try to eorrect these errors in them- selves and pupils. In order to cultivate concentration and patient 'continuity, silent reading. and reproduction should be practised extensively. Would use the phonic method in teaching element- ary reading, and pay careful and constant attention to enunciation. LANGUAGE. Dr. McLellan also dealt with thelsulb- ject of language. He gave a therou h analysis of its different degrees of dev I- opment, from its first inception to its Mature stages of perfection. The aim in teaching language lessons should be to get the pupil to form true conceptions of things and language is a true test of the correctness of the idea or concep- tion. Reproduction of lessons read was therefore a grand test in this work. Self-examination was the true method of fastening acquired knowledge on the! mind, both Aeachers and pupils should do this constantly. Every lesson should be a language lesson, and correct forms of speech should be -insisted on every- where and at all thnes. Class conversa- tion should be encouraged to develop this faculty and in conducting such classes the teacher should bring the, pupils to feel that he sympathized with them, that he did not sit as a critic but rather as a helper. An important Letor in developing language vvesopiestioning, to lead from the known to the unknown. Every teacher should read extensively, and remember that the main power, to uplift the prefession wag enthusiasm. ELECTION OF OFFIelERS. The following offieers Were elected: President, G. ' W.
