This majority report will not satisfy
the country. It condemns the small
and allows the great sinner to go free.
It is unjust. It is cowardly. It is a
sin against the honor of the Conserva-
tive party, and a wrong done to the
cause which the Abbott Governxdent
profess to serve. All honest journals
condemned Rykert and upheld Sir John
Thompson in condemning him. Now
they are expected to applaud -the ea-
quittal of a greater sinter thanllykert.
Poor old General Middleton was packed
oat of the oountry in disgrace. The
valour of a life time went for nothing
with a Government that condemned
him when the evidence was not as
strong as that which points to Sir Rec-
tor's guilt. It is time for honest men
to revolt when the sine of a Langevin
oan be excused in the name of a great
party. There ought to be men enough
in parliament who put aside the pre.
ferences of the majority report, and the
prejudioes of the minority report, and
do good in the name of God and Can-
ada."

This is what the St Thomas Journal
has to say concerning the milit• sys-
tem; and it is not far from the tr, h:—
Why should we spend thousands of
dollars annually in endeavoring to
create and foster"militarism" in Can-
ada? There is no reason why the pres-
ent farcical system should be main-
tained,= as no man of observation will
claim that the country receives any
adequate return, in increased insurance
against invasion, for the large sums
expended by the Militia Department.
Twenty five thousand dollars in round
figures was the cost of the camp re-
cently held in this city, and it was so
much money thrown away. Fifteen
hundred men had a pleasant holiday,
but the country benefitted none. Why
continue such a system? Here is a
department of public service in which
a huge reduction in expenditure could
be made."

This year people of every class
could find objects of interest and in-

was there. The farmer could folly
occupy his time while on the ground
in inspecting the farm implements,
which were specially got up for his
benefit and attraction, and the cattle,
sheep, hogs, etc, and the mechanics
in their several departments. If
the variety, splendor and abundance
of vehicles of pleasure is avy kind of

the country is progressing in that
direction. -
The show of horses was superb,
and continually attracted a large

Teachers' Union Convention
(Concluded from last week.)
FRIDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr Clarkson, of Seaforth, addressed
the meeting on "Entrance grammar
apart from analysis and parsing," He
said "Owing to pressure of work I am
not as fnhy prepared to deal with this
subject as I would like to be. The sub-
ject of grammar, I believe, is the mo
difficult on the public school cony d of
studies. I consider analysis auP; pars-
ing the basis of gramma*. Where
should we begin the teaching se gram.
mar, and when ? I would begin teach-
ing pupils as soon as they get into the
details, as I think them a great hin-
third reader, but would leave out massive
drones As we have words derived from
almost every language in the world, I
find it a very difficult matter to know
where to begin. I would begin orthog-
raphy first. We as teachers do not pay
enough attention to the correct pronun-
ciation of the vowel sounds. I would
suggest drilling the pupils on a key of
the sounds, which may be found in any
good dictionary. In teaching the first
lessons in reading it is necessary to
give the correct sounds, and have these
thoroughly fixed on their minds. When
I began to teach, at the age of 18, I had
no idea that I did not know how to
teach the first reader properly. I find
spelling a very difficult subject to teach,
as it is not phonetic. It is principally
learned by means of the eye. We learn
to spell because we want to write; the
proper way to begin is to make the pu-
pils write words on their slates. One
thing is certain, that it is useless to set
a boy to, learn words, without applying
therm to some immediate use. The
long words -found in some of our spell-
ing books should not. be taught at all.
When we meet with a new face we do
not note everything at first. We know
know more about it when we see it
often. Just so with words. Take a
bad speller and let him copy down
words from a book, and I am sure he
ss ill do well. Spelling can be taught
without spending so much time on it,
by taking it up incidentally, thus leav-
ing more time for other subjects. I
believe that there is no use in getting
pupils to learn cut and dried definitions.
I would have conversations with them,
and give the meaning of words by in-
tuition. If we get our pupils to give
short sentences with certain words cor-
rectly used, we would be teaching them
something of value. I would also give
the pupils some of the simpler affixes
and prefixes. I would begin teaching
grammar by synthesis instead of analy-
sis. The starting point of grammatical
science is speech -making, and I am
fully of the opinion that a great many
of the pupils do not really know the
parts of speech. The sentences in the
first reader I 'would consider difficult
enough for pupils in the third reader.
Teachers can find some valuable exer-
cises in Morris' little grammar. In
conclusion, I would say to my fellow
teachers, there is no higher work on the
face of this planet than that which you
are engaged in, because you are shaping
the destiny of immortal souls."
Tlie discussion which followed was of
.much" praotical valve. A number of
the entrance questions on grammar
were eatplained by Measis Clarkson and
Strang. . ; .
It was moved by Mr J'oliniton, and
Seconded by Mr Blackwell, and carried,
'That a committee composed of the
officers of East and West Huron Asso-
ciation, the principals of the High
Schools and the head mestere of the
M odel Schools be appointed to draft a
uniform scheme for analysis and pars-
ing."
The mooting closed to meet again at
the pall of the Executive Committee.

part of the Exhibition will show

To THE FARMERS AND THEIR WIVES.
The directors of the Huron Cent-
ral Exhibition do not want the earth,
but they would like to see the fair to
be held next week by far the best
ever held in this riding, if not in
this part of the country. To this end.
they wish the farmers of Huron to do
two things : In the first place, bring
to the show -fair everything they
have in the way of stock, natural
products, or the work of their wives
and daughters, that is worth exhibit-
ing, so that their neighbors can see
what they are doing, and learn from
them ; and in the next place, come
themselves to the show and bring all
the members of their families, and
thereby give life and spirit to the
show, and swell the gate proceeds.
The membership fee is small, and the
privileges are large and varied.
"SHOULD OLD ACQUAINTANCE Be
FORGOT."
Farmers and their families have
had a heavy harvest, and they have
had several weeks of steady hard
labor. An outing of a couple of days
will do them good land make them
forget for another year the bard work
they have gone through in gathering
in the present beautiful harvest. The
Huron Central prize list this year is
extensive and varied. The value of
the prizes won will be greatly en-
hanced by keen._ . competition, and
this competition will lead to further•
and greater improyeblents in the fu-
WYO. Qlitaiei inducement for attend-
ing oiir fair, and not to be despised, is

ing far apart of meeting once a year
and "sperin' after each others health."
new novelties being introduced. The
ascent by a balloon, and drop by a
parachute, was a success, the aeon-
aut getting a ducking in the lake.
As this is a dangerous practice, it
would be better to leave it out of the
show.
As the weather was all that could
be desired, and the city of Toronto
had increased largely during the
past year, the attendance should
have been greater than last year, but
instead of that it was smaller. The
only reason that can be given for
this is that the people had not the
money to spare for this object. They
could deny themselves this pleasure,
but they must provide the necessar-
ies of life for themselves and fami.
lies.
The art gallery was well filled this
year with good paintings, Miss
Mountcastle, 01 Clinton, being one of
the contributors.
Not much favorably can be said of
the dog, trapeze, cowboy, and other
circus kind of performances, being
very ordinary and of a cheap -jack
character, and perhaps it would add
to the character of file show if they
were left out altogether.

on Saturday in West Zorra, Rod-

man. He had been subject to

William Forbes,of the Matheson
House, Tilsonburg, died Tuesday.
A Presbyterian clergyman, of
Bathrust, N B., writing to the
Presbyterian Witness, of Halifax,
recently said: "We have lost a
large number of families by death
and emigration. Four years ago
we reported 110 families this ,year
we report only 65. Most of the
families that have gone are now in
the United States There must be
something radically wrong in the
government of the country when
so many of our citizens are forced
to seek a livelihood under a foreign
flag -
Between the hours of 1:.' and 1
on Saturday $1,100 was stolen
from the safe in the office of Burr
Bros., furniture manufacturers,
Guelph. W. roul, the bookkeeper
had drawn the money from the
bank and deposited it in the safe
previous to paying the hands. He
left for dinner at 12 and locked
. both doors of the office, but did
not lock the safe. When he re-
turned the money was gone. One
of the employes named O'Grady
said he tried both doors five min-
utes to 1, and found them locked.
A search of the employes was in-
stituted,which failed to throw any
light on the subject. No arrests
have been made as yet.
