V Inspector Day, of Ehst Simcoe, said- that lack of clear ideas is the cause of so much faulty writing of compositions, "essays, or letters. _He believed _a clear idea will generally nd correct expres- sion. He urged teachers roygive their "pupils only clear ideas`. PRINCIPAL AND INSPECTOR DISAGREE. .. ,_ .`.l; iilllill Lot. was followed by-Mr. a-Manes, of that subject.

Orillia, who took .u'p.methcds of tensive "practise in writing compositions from subjects taken from good lit-,er'g._ ture; I as children learn early in life from composition, models should be en- emphasized very strongly arrangement ' _of matter before beginning to. write. Mr. Nesbitt, or Waubaushene. supple- mented the "remarks of the abcvegen. tlemen by_ a third paper urging the oral use of language extensively during a child's first years at school. INDlVIDUALITY eurrsssnn. I In the discussion that followed, Wm. Williams, _B.A ,- Principal of Coiling- wood Collegiate Institute, objected to teaching one boy or girl to write like mother. He thought the great defect of the teaching of to-day is that it suppresses the individuality of `the pupils and treats` them all alike. He would urge a boy to write freely as thoughts occur to him, and then revise and correct, the teacher treating each composition individually. He said that nothing but innite labor on the part of both teacher and pupil will attain the best results. He spoke strongly against the suppression of individuality. It is the only thingzwe have, said he, chat other people have not, and it must not be given away or suppressed. This personal attribute should be dis- l tinctly seen, and should receive much encouragement in composition. In speaking of Composition Mr. Williams said that in his capacity as examiner of Composition at depart- mental examinations he had observed that candidates from Toronto are entirely superior in C'omposition to those from other parts of the province.- He did not ascribe this degree of per- fection to the Collegiate Institutes of Toronto; it was due rather to the work in the public schools.; This brought Inspector Morgan to his feet, and he gave Mr. Williams conclusions an emphatic _co_ntradiction. My ex- perience is, said Mr. Morgan, that pupils who `come to our town and county schools are barely up, in `fact are inferior to pupils already there , I know my statement to be absolutely true. He explained this excellence in cities to environment. The` brains of city children are sharpened earlier in keen, rapid, incisive thought, as is evidenced in the street arsb or news- boy. This training which they getin observation results in greater mental activity and alertness than` can be ob- tained by school feeding of which he said there was too much" today. He thought that -this over-feeding inschcol has resulted in a weakening of intellect- ual muscle. and bre as compared with twenty-ve years ago. ` ' _. ....__--_. -4: nu-usual!

O1uLL1A-The Deputy-Sheriff was in town last week serving writs upon sev- eral townsmen in an interesting horse case. It will be remembered that a syndicate bought the German imported horse Dolmetscher from one W. J. Wroughten, last year, paying $2,500. for him. The greater part of the pur- chase money was in three notes for about $700 each, payable in one,'two and three years, the scheme being to have the horse pay for itself. The first year s business was not up toex- pectations, and several members of the syndicate want to drop out. . The parties who signed the notes claim that it was represented and understood that each was responsible only for his share. Wroughten is endeavoring to hold them jointly and severally responsible for the entire amount, and to collect from those who remain the amount due by those who have withdrawn . . . . Forty-eight years ago last Sunday, the Rev. John Gray was ordained in a room in Quinn's hotel, where the Orillia House now stands. "During this lon period Dr. Gray has been identied with the com- munity, taking an active and useful in- 'terest in everything whichmadefor its spiritual, moral and mental . develop. ment. _And he is still able to perform considerable labor, especially for the Church of his choice, both in the Pres- bytery and as Clerk of the `Synod of Toronto and Kingstou.-Packet. .:3"i$'uuwo drtopton the won! dbe ` ' m. .:..g' ;'Ii .'.`.k".L``J..'..'i`l..a`v"Z.'5`.?n1 .2?$ In the absence of Mayor Sheppard, ex-Mayor Jupp extended a civic wel- come to the teachers. He was pleased that the County Council, had given Thursday and Friday for convention in- stead of Friday and Saturday, and so long as I am Chairmannof the Commit? tea on Education, you will get your Thursdays, said Mr.` J upp. Some `people say teachers are getting "too many holidays, said he. ` "I do not know whether you are or not, but I do know that you are giving good value for the pay you get." (Applause). He believed the public school system should be advanced` at the expense of High Schools ; there were too many of the latter, it was not necessary to have -a High School in every hamlet in the county. He said that as 95 per cent- of the children of this province receive their education in public schools, than 95 per cent. of school monies should go to Public Schools. He was an advocate of Continuation Classes in Public Schools. His observations had taught him that High Schools unt a boy tor manual work, hence said be, If you Nut 9. boy for work, don't let him .30 to a High School.
