Notwithstanding weather a very high per centage of the teachers of the Inspectorate was in attendance, the greater number of whom remained until the National Anthem was sung at half-past {our on Friday afternoon. In the absence 0: the President, Mr. Donald Currie, who has been ill for some time, the Vice-President, Miss McKenzie, requested Inspector Campbell to ofliciate in his absence. At 10:45 the meeting was opened by reading a Scriptural lesson after which Mr. Allan led in prayer. After reading and adoption of the E minutes, and the appointment of the 1 several committees Mr. McEachcrn i took up the subject of History and a dealt with it at considerable length. He thought the work should be chief- ‘ ly oral and after a reign had been I taught, the pupil should be required ‘ to write out asynopsis of it. The J teacher should know the subject thoroughly; better text books were i Eneeded, at least texts of a character I more suitable to the capacity of the 1 pupils. Biography, he regarded, is . an important factor in the teaching , of history. Messrs. Brown. Firth, Morrison, Allan and Inspecror Camp- ‘ bell took part in the discussion. A PTERNOON . At 1:30 p. m. Mr. Firth took up the subject of “Lesson Helps.” Asa rule he condemned them. He con- sidered them an aura burden to‘ parents and that they tend to makeI ! I teachers and pupils lazy. Judicious. ly used, however. they are a great help especially in Arithmetic, Gram- mer and Composition, but a direct hindrance in History, Physiology and Geography. A. free discussion fol- lowed in which several took part the consensus of Opinion being that ' ”Lesson Helps" were not to be commended. Miss Kerr, of Hanover, took up ' “Courtesy in the r School Room ” Sympathy is regard- '_ ed by Miss Kerr as the great key note with children, and where the mind of the child is in sympathy with the mind of the teacher it is very plastic and easily moulded for weal or for woe. Pupils should be treated as politely as our best. friends and under such treatment the teach- er may reasonably expect a return of courtesy. O 0178' SPIRITED DI80U88IONâ€"BAD WEATHER BUT GOOD ATTENDANCE. Miss Robson took up the subject of I “ Reading” and in the course of her . paper pointed out that if results are ( to be taken as the criterion of meth- , ods, then our methods are decidedly 1 bad. The main points in reading are - (1) Getting thought (2) Expressing .‘ thought so as to give pleasure to' others. The teacher should pay par- ticular attention to distinct articula- tion, and correct pronunciation. These and the grouping of words form the basis of fluency. In ex- pressive reading the teacher should. by proper questioning lead the class to put stress or emphasis on the proper words. Quality, not quantity should be the motto. Teachers should not read for imitation: Twol or more sentences should be read at| a time. Special attention should be i paid to the reading in part II andi 11 classes. The paper and the free I discussion which followed must havel been generally beneficial. The next subject “Geography"i was introduced by Miss B. Profeit. : The essay first pointed out the im- l portance of Geography and how man l is aflected by his Geographical posi- , tion, and then referred to its import- , ancs from a commercial stand point. , and lastly the efiect of the subject , upon the mind. in the development 0! memory and imagination. The analytic and synthetic methods of but of the paper 3nd specuu s: was kid on the co-relation of G ruphy to History and BiOgrtphV. I-ruJ v- __ Miss Gordon took up the subject of “ Composition ” which she dealt with at considerable length in a very care- fully prepared paper. The essayist laid much stress on the value of us- ing pictures as an aid in language training. Science should also aid in the proper expression oi the thought. The preliminary means prepare the tray for oral composition which Miss Gordon wisely advocates in as much as the telling of a story, or in other words speech making will prepare the boy or girl for the active duties of may have on any topic. In written work, particular ‘attention should be given paragraph structure, and this ehoeld he developed from the chilo drill h! judicioue questioning. .All - A _"A ‘- Durham, should be carefully corrected and noted in the margin only. i FRIDAY AFTERNOON. The first subject introduced for dis- cussion was a paper on Morals in Public Schools by Mr. McNiven. Af- ter pointing out the difierent ideas entertained regarding the popular conception of morals and illustrating by the notions of Indians and Chinese the essayist then set forth the,hypo- ‘ theses that “ If morals are neglected in the home the school must not only supply this deficiency but develop it.” Next be defined moral training and referred briefly to some of the school vices with which teachers have to contend such as swearing. lying, stealing and immoral reading. The effect of moral development in puri- fying and enobling society for the higher duties of life in society and companionship was next developed. The importance of high ideals. with- out which we cannot expect the best results was forcibly impressed, The discussion was spirited and a number of good points were brought out by Rev. Mr. Smith who emphasised the importance of cultivating the heart .as well as the head. H “ The Cultivation of the Imaginag tion in;Literatnre,” was introduced by Mr. Andrew Morrison. 15. A. He began by quoting a stanza from Keats, and other poets. and contrast- ed the character of true pleasure giv- ing literature productions with some of the “ hashy ” and “ mashy ” selec- tions given our junior classes where- by they are supposed to learn reading. The creative idea he considered a very important one and one that. should be carefully developed. Stories and fary tales should be the ,chief means of developing the imag- Einative faculty in children. Mr. Brown, B. A., of Hanover. in- ‘ troduced the subject of Chemistry, and seldom in our Opinion has a more lucid introductory lesson on Chemiso' j try been presented to an audience of l teachers or a class of students. By a list of Chemical apparatus and in- gredients it was clearly demonstrated that the subject should not be neglec- ted on the ground of cost even in a country school where Junior Leaving is to form part of the school program. After illustrating some of the ele- l mentary details of chemical teaching [and pointing out clearly the difier- ence between chemical compounds and mechanical mixtures, and also the difierence between atoms and molecules he proceeded to show the conditions that tend to chemical changes and demonstrated its mean- Iing by numerous illustrations and a {series of chemical equations that {were helpful to all students in the 3 study of chemical science. The im- ‘. portance of using correct chemical :equations, was forcibly impressed. l and the ease by which exact mathe- matical calculations could be made was illustrated in the solution of ‘ chemical problems submitted in 'lrecent examinations. ‘ Mr. Brown’s "an: lsnuuv-w-Vâ€" _ V o I chemical problems submitted in recent examinations. ‘ Mr. Brown’s lesson. was a. genuine “Multum in Purvo ” and was favorably discussed and commented on. ‘ FRIDQY AFTERNOON 2 p. m. On resuming work. the Question [Drawer was opened and Inspector Campbell, the chairman of the com- mittee. readily disposed of the sev- . eral difliculties, Mr. Rowe. of Markdale then tool: up the Metric System. Before illus- trating with a class he gave a short history of the. system showing its origin. development and growth. and} predicting its universal adoption the world over; The general use of the Metric System would do Away with all the difficult arithmetical tables of weight and measurements now Tound so intricate, and minimise the labor of calculation. In his class demon- strations. Mr. Rowe made the pupils do all the work and find out the facts for themselves, a commendable fea- ture in all good teaching. Mr. Burgess, of Owen Sound. geve a capital address on “ The Municipal SyStem of Ontario ” tracing its origin back to the time of the Americnn War of Independence and showing each related link in its development down to the present time.
