TEAL HERS' INSTITUTE many at once. Require pupils to do prob- _ • lams containing these combinations only An institute meeting of the East Huron and never put down gneetions in addition at Teachers' Association was held in the Pub- random for junior pupils. Mr W. R. Loueh, President, took as his topic, "How - to make our meetings more interesting." All teachers should be enroll- ed as member of the Association; That the subjects discussed should be practical, and that the teachers should, when possible, teach with a class; Time of meeting should be extended to three days; That young teachers would become more interested if they took a more active part in the pro- ceedings. He also stated that he consider- ed it the duty of every Association to as- sist the Minister of Education to reduce the member of subjects on the Public School curriculum. British History is a subject which he considers not necessary in our schools. Further discussion followed by Messrs Baker, Musgrove and Scott. Rev. Messrs Kerr and Cobeldick, being present, were called upon, and each gave a highly complimentary and interesting ad- dress. Mr Musgrave, Principal of Wingbam Public School, gave a report of the work done at the Provinoial Association in 1893. In this report be discussed the various topics of interest taken up, and also stated that he considered it to the advantage of every teacher to attend these Associations. The Financial Statement for 1893 was read by the Secretary, and showed a balance on hand of $103.63. On motion of Mr Mine - grave, seconded by Mr Black, 'the report was adopted. The meeting then adjourned. On the second day, Friday, Mr John Keine introduced the subject, "Imagina- tion and its Bearing on School Work." He showed clearly how the imagination ofthe pupils could be developed in the study of literature, physioial geography and oom- position, and how it would be of assistance in helping the pupils to understand these subjects. The paper was further discussed by Messrs Horton, Musgrave and Lough. The following officers were then elected: —President, A. H. Musgrave; First Vice. President, Thos. Shearer; Second Vice - President, Miss O'Neil; Secretary Treaenr- er, A. Scott; Executive Committee, Messrs Darroch, Lowery, Barton and Misses Tay - Cameron, principal of the Brussels Public for and Duncan; Provincial Delegate, Mr • school. He took as his subject "a'picnia," Black. and by a number of questions succeeded in Mr W. Prendergast, B. A., of Seaforth, lic school, Brussels, rn Thursday and Fri- day, the 26th and 27th April; the attend- ance was larger than at the last meeting, about eighty teachers bei present. The forenoon eessiou of Thursday opened at 10 o'clock a. ni., with the President, W. R. Lough, in the chair. After the regular opening exercises the following committees were appointed viz : Reporting, Messrs. J. T. Dcdds and . A. Scott, Secretary; General Business, Messrs. Doig, Plummer and Moore; Resolutions, Messrs. Mosgrove, Lough and Robb. The Library committee appointed at the last meeting now gave their report, stating that a number of the books belonging to the library had been sent to Wingham, and a number to Brus- sels; the remainder was left in Clinton. Those left in Clinton couldbeaocounted for, lint those sent to Brussels and Wingham had been so neglected that no trace of them could be found. These facts considered, the Committee deemed it wise not to pur- chase any more books in the meantime. Mr James Moore discussed the sub- ject "fractions." He proved the im- portance of fractions by showing that they could be used in the solution of the ma- jority of problems, and in each case would make the solution muoh simpler and shorter. He also stated that he would teaoh fractions before teaching reduction. This last re- mark led to considerable discussion by Messrs Doig, Cameron and Lough. The President now called upon Mr A. Scott, Secretary, for his report of the pro- ceedings of the Provincial Association, which met in Toronto on March 27th, 28th and 29th, 1894. Mr Scott gave a 'synopsis of the varione papers read at that meeting, and discussed at some length a number of resolutions that were passed and which were of deep interest to the teachers of this Inspectorate. These were then further dis- cussed by Messrs Lough, Moore, Cameron, Plummer and Doig. The meeting then ad- journed. The afternoon session opened at 1:30 p. m. The first subject on the programme was "composition," with a class, by J. H. getting the °lees to divide the subject into let, arrangements for picnic; 2nd, gather- ing together or preparation for going; 3rd, riding out to picnic ground; 4th, amuse- ments while there; 5th, programme; Gth, tea; 7th, home trip. These heads were written upon the black -board and were then sub -divided by the pupils. Mr Cam- eron would then require the pupils to write the composition. His method of correcting compositions with large classesis as follows: Have three or four of the compositions written upon the boards arid have the class detect the errors if possible and also make the corrections. He considers it un- necessary to examine all the compositions. Mr Cameron's method of teaching com- position gave general satisfaction, but his method of correction led to some discussion by Messrs. Hotron, Mosgrove, Lough, Lowery and Plummer. "How to acquire accuracy in numbers," by Mr R. J. Barton, of Lower Wingham, was the next paper. He approves of a thorough drillin addition and in multiplica- tion, and would advise the teaching of the multiplication table as far ae 20 times, 20 at least. He also showed a number of questions whioh would be good practice for the pupils and of which the teacher could easily find the result. This would save time in examining the correcting answers. In addition to this considerable attention should be given to Mental arithmetic Mr Barton, in connection with this eubjeot, ex- hibited an invention of his own, called the "teachers relief." By this a teacher may at any time have a number of problems ready for his class. These problems are al- ways ready and may be reproduced at any time. Masers Mosgrove and Longh farther discussed this paper. Mr E. G. McDonald, of Molesworth, next discussed "combinations in addition." Ile would commence with combinations making ten; he would drill thoroughly on Lrge•.

The subject was further discussed by Messrs Horton, Baker and Lough. Mr Musgrave next taught history to a class, taking as his lesson "The War of American Independence." This lesson was taught in the form of a talk, the teach- er making use of the map and the black- board, The various causes which led to the war were written on the board, these were followed by a number of occurrences in connection with the war, and, finally, how the war was brought to a close. These points were reviewed with the class, after which they would be required to write an account of the war. Mr Mnsgraye also asked a number of general questions in connection with this lesson, and received a number of ready and intelligent answere. Discussion followed by Messrs Horton, Scott, Prendergast, Barton and Cameron, after which the meeting adjourned. GILJLOY 8r WISEIVLAN CLINTON Messrs Barton, Huston, Lough and Robb. Short addresses were then given by Messrs Blair and Kerr,.of Brussels, con- trasting•tbe teaching of long ago with that in vogue at the present time. Friday afternoon exercises were intro- duced by Mr Lowery, df Summerhill. He considers this important as a means of varying the monotony of the regular. school work. The exercises should be simple and varied. The following are suitable exer- cises:—Spelling matches, words to be writ- ten—he did not approveof oral spelling matches; geography matches; arithmetic matches; literary and musical programs: talks on incidental subjects; class singing; question drawer; debate in school; recita- tion of poetry. Inspector Robb then took up hie subject of "Penmanship." He is strongly, in fav- or of the vertical writing, and thinks that it should be the second lesson the pupil should receive on first coming to school. He recommends that the writing at first should be done on a single line, and that as the pupils 'required, to write without lining their elates. He believes that the scrib- bling book is raining our writing, as the work in books is generally done in a very careless manner. Too much care cannot be taken by the teacher in watching and pointing oat the mistake in the writing of their pupils. He thinks that the teacher should never accept from the pupil writing which he knows can be done better, but that the pupil should berequired to rewrite it. On recommendation of the Resolution Committee the following resolatione were then adopted:—That Canadian History be the limit for entrance examination; that the Provincial Association be purely re- presentative; that the Easter holidays in rural distriote should be of the same length as in villages and towns. The Association then adjourned, to meet in Clinton at the pall of tjie_• Executive Committee. In the afternoon W. Baker introduced his subject, "Difficulties met by Teachers, and how to deal with them." In order to prevent destruction of school property,the teacher should be at school at 8 o'clock, an pupils are not liable to get into mischief when they know the teacher is present. The teacher should join in the games of pupils so as to prevent the use of vulgar language. The teacher should never lose control of his or her temper. Young teach- ers make a mistake in giving too long les- sons, as pupils are not able to get them np. Answering in concert is a mistake, as some of the pupils may not have the idea and so not answer. The best way to test is by written examinations. He also mentioned these; he wonld then introduce other cora- many other difficulties met by teachers, binations, being careful not to introduce too which led to considerable disouesion by Central Drug Store.
