The next number was ar essay on "History in our Public Schools" by Miss Hannaa Hardy. She thought history was poorly taught because teachers had not the necessary time to devote to it. We are a part of an Emâ€" pire whose history has given color to the entire globe and our children as "heirs of all ages" should be familiar with the great men in British and Canadian history who have contributed so much to bequeath us such a grand and glorious beritage. Miss Hardy‘s mostâ€"excellent paper provoked considâ€" erable ciscussion in which Messrs Atcheson and Richmond took an acâ€" tive part. Au essay on ‘Patriotism" was the last paper read duaing the first session aud showed that much thought had devoted to its preparation by the es cujist, Mr. Foster. _A teacher to instil patriotisin in his pupils sbould be thor oughly conversant with both the hist ory and geography of his country as well as with alf its political questions. He should love bis country and be an exemplary patriot being ready to shoulder his musket in its defence if necessary. â€" He should not be narrowâ€" minded but should feel that all men are brothers. In short the best and truest patriot would be the most ideal cilizen. Mesers Nairn, Ramsay, Cork, Weidenhammer and Acheson followe.\ in discussion and added some excellent thoughts to Mr. Foster‘s very suggesâ€" tive and comprehensive paper. The opening session of the 28th anpual meeting of the Waterloo County Teachers‘ Association was called to order at 10 a.m.Thursday by President Weidenhammer. ‘The opening exerâ€" cises were conducted by Mr. Nairu, of Galt, after which Secretary Reid read communications from the Ontario Teachers‘ Association.

The report was adopted without any discussion. SCHOOLROOM DECORATIONS Inspector Pearce in dealing with this subject preferred to style it "a Plea for Education through ie Eye." An adjournment was made at 11.50 until 1.30 p. m. THURSDAY AFTERNOON The second session rf the County Teachers‘ Asâ€"ociation opened at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday, the first hour being devoted to general business. In his report as Chairman of the Prom.

Mr. T. Carseadden M. A., Principal of Galt Collegiate Institute then adâ€" dressed the Association on " The Conâ€" sideration of a Few Points in our Eduâ€" cational Life." He wished to say at the outset that the weakest point of our Association was the lack of discusâ€" sion. Inentering on his subjecs he first wished to know what disciplinary effect was attached to the practice of lining up pupils three or four times a day in all kinds of weather. (In his opinion the practice should be disconâ€" tinued. In the second place he thought that teachers were not careful cnough in ventilating their echool rooms. In every high school and in every graded school in Ontario there is too much teaching done. â€" Teachers should teach less and allow pupils to study more and give more attention to individual pupils who are backward in their classes. . In the end chere would be a gain in the general results and progress of the school. The teaching of various subjects was not nractical enough. .A great deal of teaching was done in vain, for instance ‘much was taught in Arithmctic that was never used in after life. â€" Pupils should first be well trained in accuracy and rapidity in the simple rules. Should the marks of a successful pupil at the Entrance exâ€" amination be published when the marks of successful candidates in highâ€" er examinations were not publishud?t A teacher ‘should teach his subject thoroughly and have constant reviews but should never teach with the exâ€" amivation as the ultimate goal. Textâ€" tooks in many of our schoolsare being superseded by sohoolâ€"helps and scribâ€" biers with the result thas the child‘s knowledgo was not clear on any event bui exly a smattering, serappys knowâ€" ledyge was acquired. Jt was a great waste of time for teachers to write problems on the blackboard. Pupils should be allowed to work from the beginning to the end of an exercise. Pupils should be familiar with their textâ€"books. Teachers should create and foster in pupils a love of knowâ€" ledge and show them how they can supplement their school knowledge in after years from the large field of ibraries, encyclopedias and dictionâ€" aries, endeavoring to fix in them the bavit of study. ‘He condemned many of the noteâ€"books published by Honderâ€" son and Fraser of Torouto, tspecially those on British and Canadian History. He thought the use of such noteâ€"books was very pernicious to the rising genâ€" erations. The practice of allovwing printed questions in Literature to come between the teacher and.the class was greatly to be deplored. Pupila should be led to independent thinking in all their work. _ Lastly their should be more moral training in out schools. In hbis address, His Honor, Judge Chisholm, spoke largely upon morality and good manners. Good manners he said, wore like an airâ€"cushion. There was nothing in it but it eases the jolts of life wonderfully. The great majority of the rising generation of Waterloo County were rude and illâ€"mannered. There should be no blame attached to the teachers for this state of affaira alâ€" though they con‘d do much to improve matters by their liviog and potent exâ€" ample both in and out of the schoolâ€" room. . One of the greatest drawbacks of the teachers was the constant position they met from day to day* "?io toancher deserves the support and The President introduced the lecturâ€" er of the evening, Prof. Clark, M. A., L. L. D., who made a few rewarks to the teachers along the line of bis own experience in th6 valuo of beautiful pictures and their power to lift us to a higher air and a clearer view. The mocting then adjourned until 9.30 a.m. on Friday. FRIDAY FORENOON The first hour on Friday moruing was devoted to genoral business. Among other matters Inspector Pearce called the attention of the teachers to the poor reading in many schools and stated that the Entrance Board of Exâ€" aminers intended to mark reading very low this year if it wes not what it should be. It was then moved by Mr. Linton seconded by Mr. J. F. Martinâ€" son that in the opinion of this associaâ€" tion Inspector Pearce has always been demanding better reading in our schools aud that no blame whatever should be attached to bhim for any poor results that existed. ‘The motion was unanimously carried. OUR EDUCATIONAL LIFE JUDGE CHISHOLM There is an overproduction of cotton, An overproduction of corn, Too much of everyting is grown, Too many people born; A surplus yield of wheat and bread, Of potatoes, oats and rye, Hog and hominy, ham and eggs, And homemade pumpkin pie. Too much to eat, too much to wear, And cattle on too many hills, Too many agricultural tools, Too many plows and drills; There‘s a surplus now of clothing, Of every grade and kind, Too many books and papeors, Too much of thought and mind. Too many men to do the work, Too mary women to weep, More daylight than the people need, Too much night for sleep. Of benedicts a surplus, Dr. J. M. Cameron, a member of the Galt P. S. Board: took up the subâ€" ject ‘The Needs for Physical Educatâ€" ion" HMe first dealt with energy in general by showing the evolution of force was the result of a chemical union of carbon and oxygen. ‘This union takes place more particularly and in greater amount in the tissues of any other part of the body. In the great majority of cases farmers are not roundly developed. There are very few persons who are fully developed; For instance very few can write with the left hand as well as the right. So far as our inheritance is concerned we do not inherit shapely bodics. How then, does our training improve this lack of devclopment. The system of training is too haphazard to develop those muscles which need development. Foot ballis a better allâ€"round game th n baseball and that is why oldâ€" country men are better developed than men of this country. Rugby is a pational game in the old country. Young ladies shouid take more exerâ€" cise and develop more muscular force for on the development of this force depends our best suceess in all the walks of life,. _ At the conclusion of his able and profitable address the Dr. was tendered a hearty vote of thanks by the Association.

Miss Claxton followed with a very thougâ€"tful aud able paper on "Methodsof InculcatingIndependeuce" after which Prof Clark uddressed the Association on English P‘ronunciation. This address was both humorous and: instractive, the principal potat emphaâ€" sized being that we should speak a language devoid ‘of provincialismâ€"a language that should always be recogâ€" nized as "English" whether in Canada, the United States, Great Britain or Australia. After the usual vote of thanksâ€"the hbearty singing of the National Anthem concluded one of the most successful conventions in the hisâ€" tory of the Waterloo County Teachers‘ Association. Mr. Geo. Davidson, |‘. 8. Trustee, Watcrivo, was the speaker on this subâ€" ject. In the first place he said that the business man wagts "respect" in a boy. Secondly hbe wants a boy w# is "prompt." Thirdly he wauts a boy who is "honest"â€"One who respects his master‘s tine and iufluence as well as his till.. Fourtbly he waunts a boy who is trutbful." Fifthly a boy should be industrious." He should be just as bard a worker in bis master‘s abâ€" sence as be would be in his presence. ‘Slxlhl)’ a boy should be very ‘neat." All bis work slould always be thorough \ly done. In t_e.eventh place a boy should have accuracy as well as speed ‘in all his calculations, otherwise bis employer is hampered in his business relations. A boy should also possess epurage and self control. He should | be willing to do jast as his employer wishes and in so doing he will have done his duty. He closed bis address by a very powerfsl appeal to the teachers ty teach their pupils the bighâ€" est standard of morality. ‘The meeting adjourned at 12.30 to meet again at The meeting opened for its last sesâ€" sion at 2 o‘clock on Friday afternoon.
