I G .·lcy'e Lady's Book for November is a gm1nine Thanksgiving number, calculated' tt· cause gratitude in t h e J1earts of Rll its pt1.i;rons. The steel engraved frontispiecl' "Without a Uare," is a capital study of cl11lcl life - three little girls cuddling undo· an old umberella, each with a dimin utive pussy in her arms. We thought b efore that God y's was excellent, but this month she has truly excelled h erself. Peck's S un published at Milwaukee, Wisco11sin, is the most humorous paper in America to-day. Geo, W. ]~eek, its e ditor and proprietor stands with out au equal as a humorist. H e believes in making people happy, and n o one can be otherwise who r eads his m ost excellent paper.

T h s County of Durham 'reachers Association m et in the High School buildings, Port Hope, on Frlday laet. In !he absence of Mr. W. W. Tamblyn, M. A ., President, the ch'J.i-r was t aken by Mr. Wood, Vice-President. After a few opening remarks, Mr. W. E Tilley, M. A., P. S. L, was called upon to speak upon Ed(lcational methods. The speak er considered that a tciichor having living power and en ergy, can do m ore work than one lacking these yet min~ t he best of methods. A teach er, in 01·der to be succes, ful, must be u student in the line of his school work. He .Jookecl upon method as subordinate to {Jn;;rgy J y~rjct.y in ,P.!(} thod c~ n ~ardly look<~:: ili.)011 as detriJllental to the pupil. In order to 8lliJ; . c aed as a ieacher, t he main point iB to cause p upils to set their 01vn minds in active operation instead of bein g pDssive recipients of knowledg{/. A lifcl<J ~s teacher caum,t cause mind a ctivity in the pupils, no mattei· how g ood his rneelwd may be. 'I'he successful teacher will take into acc0unt the amount of mental vctivity to v1'11ich his faculties have been d eveloped ; therefore the p upils minds ought to be an object of careful study by the teach er. A teach el" who does not spend t wo or three hours a day outside of school work, is not fit to teach, t or in t he act of gai ning any branch of knowledge h e recei ~es a discipline which will q ualify hirn to a certain ext ent in teaching any other branch of knowledge, ::ind as a general rule, the teach er who thus employs his leisure, would become the best teacher, or leave t he profession for one more lucrative. In teaching Arithmetic, objects should be used at first, and after· wurd much attention should be given to the roechtt nical manipul ation of figures, even t o a cert<tin exte nt, withont calling into exe rcise h is r easoning p owers. In teaching reading none of t he three usu al methods were ad vocated, but the look-and s ay m ethod was slightly condemned as producti\'e of a certain arno(lnt of iudefi. n it.enees or carelessness i ii looking at the wonl ; they ought to he looked at more closely and even spe'tled. The discussion was conLinued by Messrs. Ba1 ·be.r, Brown , and others. Mr. McDowell then introduced the s ubject of history, outlining a m eth.o d of teaching tl1e s nbj ect. Mr. Keith in m aking a few rem:~rk s upon the subject, was m full sympa_ thy wi~h the method as outhned, but foiled to see the b ene fit of introducing history to our young pupils ; he occasioned m uch lau ~ht c r as well as opposition, but his opi;iions are not altogeth er at vari<1nce with t h ose of wise men, lt was further discus~od by others. M eeting adj ourned for dinner. oe ' A.<.l'ERN OON SRSSIO N. This session clearly proves that it is not an u tt er impussibility t o hold a succe!sful con vention without the assistance of th e " gret1t gun s," for there is no doubt in th e min ds of those present, th:i.t, t hus far, this bas b een one of the wost i nteresting mcet111gs of the· kind eve r h eld in Durham. Tho principal s11Lject was Mr. Wood's l ectIJre on "L angm1~e Lessons," which cannot, b e too highly praised. Tho spe~ kH would teach language simply by causing t h e pupils to use the laug1mge. Grammar has no part whatever to play in lanRuage les.~om to t he y oung; but should be taught if at all, wh en the faculties are :;u.fficieutly unfold ed, to u nderstand the prinr.i ples of la11 guage. 'l'he child must J:irgt learn bnguage in the school room , by g iving s1w.ple descriptions of visible objects which should be shown to the pupils, then of objects not present, thus training the conceptive faculty; these <lc> criptions should be written as soon as th e pupil is able t o writ e. Tear.hers shon1d get their pllpils to use good lang uage iu describing simple actions, and to form simple senten ces perfoctly before a ttempt int, to form a compound sentence. ,\11 reading lessons should form a biisis of language lesson, and later on every s ubj ect taugh t is silently adding to the power ·· - In t h e October CENTUltY, tho space commonly taken up with the War Series of usin~ langu~ge; _the new :words, for p_ u pils but m~st do his best with the m_a~e- has been devoted to articlfs and illustraimtance, contamed m a readmi( lesson rial sent to him ; he should be familiar tions relating in a timely and important shoul:l be picked out., written upon the with the parents, and treat t he trustees as way to the life and serv ices of General board and the pupils required to thorough- h e treats other individuals.
