He .•vivioid teacliers ti» re- nieinlier thac uiian.;Brs canio tu the.se aasociariuns to lake their nieasure<i. Ue reurctted tluit teachers are not respected and appreciated as thoy should be. They were tbeinsulves partly to Mnuie. We mils', respect ouraelvoH if we wish to c>>uiiuaiid the respi-ct of utheiH lie bi lieves the teaclier'n calling to be the graiidi st in tbo world, being as they are the character moulders of our country, its destuy lies largely in the bands of the teacher. There should be more aympathy and a iireaier decree of professional h<'nor ainon){ teachers. Mr. Graham denounces the under bIdduiiE system practiced by so many teachers. ''Honor our profession" should be the teachers' motto. Mr. McC'annel r^ad a paper on " How teacht-rit' may be beiietited by the In- gprutor's vL^it," which brought out con- siderable valuable discussion. Te'whers' should keep "ditticultios" in a note bunk aud make use of the Inspedor on his school visits, liispecrots should treat teachers courteously and any criticism sbtiuld be made in private. .Judicious work nil the pure uf the Inspector has a tendency to prevent the teacher from runiihiu into 'ruts," doing what may be regarded jiB merely superlicial woi:k. He should see that all work is d >iie thoroufth- ly. The teacher m.iy ho beiiolited by buviiiK the Ins(>ector teach a '//jc lesson. L'se (he Inspector iiis an encycliptedia. Have hiui discuss |ioiiils that are sus- ceptible of a doTTlile interpretation, and in this way inspire cunlidence iu the uiiiids uf your pupilx. During the Inspectoi's visit the Itaiher may rusulve hiuisolf fur the time being into one uf the class, ask (|ue8tions beariui; uii the subjects, aud draw out of the Inspector all he can u;ut that may be transformed into future power. In the afiernoon, Mr. J J. Tilley introduced the subject uf " Inductive teachiiii;," shuwing that nittnrally we proctcd from the particular to the general. Objoctivo prcm nUitUm brings the senses into contact* with the <vality. By the use of words we call up in our minds a picture formerly piosciittd, hence it^-itn'wtiUitiini. We a'so gum knowledge ihiongh the power of rc:i8oi», as the result of observation. H'oidn con- vey no ihouaht ; they call up thought, if the ohject lepreseiiti'd by the woid is already familiar. The nii-aning of the word should be known in the connection ill which it Ls u.sed. At tha close uf Mr. Tilley 's talk he uave an exhibition uf Ins nieihod of teitcbiin; the IiiHeclioii of the atljeciivo, to a class of eight children in the junior third form. Nothiim should le told that thu child cau tind out for himself. By the use of simp e examples tlie idea uf ilic compara'ive and super Istive degrees wa.s elicited for the chil- dren. Words shiiuki bo taken that are inflected similarly, and after a number <'f exami'li's have been expanded, an e.frim- iiiiiiion of the chmiyin in these words should be made by the children, and their di'icovories reyorted, and a generaliuktioii will result. The mode of procedure was showu to be as f'll- hiws : (1) particulars, (2) examiimtion, (3) comparison. (4) a'^straction, ^5) con elusion. It would be impossible to giro in Words a proper representation of this lesson. It «hou!U t>e seen to be appre- ciated, and had the ctnivention been closed attliis point the sections of tCiicheis who woiopio.ient will soon bo doubly repaid for the losi(?) of the two days .iiK'nt at the «3.sociation. What a grmid priviltso it is for teachers to be able thus to come in contAct with the minds of others, haya their wilsshapencd and their ideas broad- ened. Nevertheless wo feel sorry tu le port I hat Mr Tilly was more than unco obliged Jto stop woik until some of the thougbtloas ones gave over their conver- sation. "Thorolafiou of trustees to teachers" was iiff.xt iiitiialuced by Mr. Chas. Mof- fat, ex warden. From this sentluman's accent one would be alniost led to think him a ScotrhinMi It may be, however, th-it ho only attended a St. Andrews diuner. The nationality make* uo dif- ference. ''A man's a man for a' that." Mr. Moffat shows rare versatility of wit, and cumoined with that wit ha is the Dussessor of wisdom and common sense. He believes that in a country where nine- tenths of the people are engaged in aijricultuml putvuils. that the intorest of the agriculturist should be considered ; that boys and giris should have a busi- iiesk education, they should not be taught by rote. The why as well as the hinv should be taught. iShould be tau&ibt to read, .tprak -and vcrile 'the English laiiguaije with propriety." Aa effort should be ma<le tu discountenance the use of slang. KiiL for example is a uood word if you are spaakini; of young ijoats. It should never be Used to denote chil- dren either in scIiih)1, out of school or in the newspapers. It is the du:y of the tru.stees, not only tu pay the teacher, but to pay hiiu well. Thu so-called cheap teacher is often the dear te.tcher. X pcjor teacher is ileur at any price. The teacher whose services can be hud for two hundred dollars may not be as cheap as the teacher to whom yi>u pay four or five hundred dollars Teachers sh.mld be eni's^ed under a by law and not be removable to suit the whims of the truste-s. It is the duly of ratepayers and trustees to visit the schools. I'aients who speak ill of the teacher in the presence of their chil- dren drstmy i lie teachers iiidueiice. ai.d deprive the children uf an educatiuu that properly belongs to them. Mr. William Young, a trusty, was called upon ana endorsed the remarks made by .Mr. Moflfit. In his opini.m teachers were not paid as ihey should be. They should be heart ly supported by the trustees and ratepuyvrs. Mr. Firth, a>iother trustee, endorsed the rem irks of the previous speakers. Mr Ri'chie congiaiulated himself on having the president of South Grey Teachers' A.^sociatiuii as the teacher of their school. Mr. Richardson, of Flcsherton, who entered the room during the discussion, was next culled upon, and in his characteristically, happy style ex- preifsed his pleasure in ii:eetiui> with the teachers of South (Jrey. He claims that no position ii> life is freighted with so ii.uch good as tiie position occupied by the teacher. Teachers leave upon the cbililren the impress uf their real luward uhanurler. Mr. Richardson's address was listened to with interest, and most highly ap- preciated. Mr. Charles Mo.Vrthnr, merchant, made a no ti little speech in reference to his expeiieiice as a teacher. He kiiuvs buih sides and is in full syin(.athy with the teacher. Mr. Cbaa. Ruinnge, of thu " Grey Review", expressed his pleasure in the practical chaincrer of the addresses made by McKsr.-t. Miifat, Richardsou and others wb'i havi'spiiken. Mr, McKiiinel next spoke briefly. Mr. Jansen, Preshyleriaii cleritymnn, expret-scd his | leu.su ru in beiiii; present. Ho denounced freipieiit cliniiL'Cs of teachers ((Uoting the proverb "changes are delightful, but fools aro fond of them." The siiccesslul teachers should be reiained, sh<mld be well paiil, should not be lenuired to saerilice their lives fur the good o| humaiii'y without pay. Your reporter has :ittended many con- ventions, and never before li;vs be heard the (luestioii of the teacher's salary so fully discussed tis at this convention and every reference came from Trusted and r.itepayers, and »iraii;,'e as it inay'iippear, not a smele teacher entered a protest auaiiisl the opin on thiit tuachuis .should be well paid. It may he thai t;ey have all learned to obey their trustees with fear and Ireniblinu. Tlianlis of th»' Association were tender- ed ta the speakers, coupled with the hope thit they would carry out the principles so ably .idvooated. -A le-'olio'ioii was next adopted to furnish tlio Eductioii.il .luuriinl to mem- bers of the Association at 60c and the Teachers' Institute and Canada Educa- tional Monthly at 3oc each, the lialaiice to be paid out of the funds of tbv auooiaiion. The eveiiiiisf meet in? in the Town Hall was a decided suiwes.s. Mi.ss Annie Richaidson, teacher of elocution in the Toronto Conservatory of Music, gave a nniiiberof well chosen recitals which we judge from the h'jarty n|iplnuso deli,'hted livery one. Her reiulering of "The Uevenao " was excellent, and shows Miss Richanls^n equal to the task of under, taking the heaviv'st sort of elocutionary work. Her "child imilauon "' wna per- fect. In fact Miss Richardson will short ly rise to the lir&t tank nn an elocutionist, if she is not there already. Her graceful .ippcnrance, he" faulllc s t'cstuic, and her fnll clear voico. combined with good taste ill the choice of her selections could not fail to please anil to C"n)mnnd the respect of her audience. Mr. J. J.

Wt must not forget to notice pnrticular- '. ly the Song sung by little •Jessie I^iid- law, who sang. -IS an encore, in excellent manner " Dud'ly wouldn't buy me a b w- vow." Mr. Campbel' occupied the chair iu I his usual easy and felicitous style. { The meeting was closed shortly after I ten o'clock by siii;:ing the N.ktioiial ; Anthem, .Mr. Parker leading on the , piano.

I Miss Annie RiuhardHoii was next intro- duced to the Convention and gave an , interesting talk on Readingâ€" sliowii.g r first the ditfurencc in meuning as used by I the educittur and the elociniimist. A plea was made for voice culture and several exercises in vucil L'ymii;i.«tics, and i physical movements were illustiated â€" ' mon-jtury in reading is la-gely ilue to { iiiBexibility of voice. Exercises for the ; purpose oi lucreasiiig ticxibiliiy and ' distiucuiess uf articulation were itiveii. BreathiiiK should be fnll, and silent.

By reijuest Mi.ss II. nave an excellent reiidetiii!j"Tlie Raven." "First class, Couldn't be better," was the opinion expressed by a man wh > knows. Ttuly good reading expresses ' thj thought and feeling of the author. Tlie hearty I hanks of the association were ', tuiidorod to Miss Richardiun. { Mr. ,1. J. Tilley introduced his method I of teaching Reading from the stand oi ; education. Ho tirst paid a v.;ry high I compliment to Miss Richard.son, endors ing her remarks. Ho piefers t.. bei;iii tu read wi'.h iivfL as .i wliule. The letter or the sound o! the letter convoys no J uieanin,'. Pictures or objects do n-.t as- e«i ill the recognition of W'TiIs. First recognize the words; aft:.rwards produce the object it stands f<>r. Do not name the wold ; the pupils will know that, as soon as he sees the object. Use picture card.i and objects freely with the junior clashes. Here Mr. Tilley gave a few simple devices for exciting the pupil's curiosity and arousim; interest, e. g. con- cealing pictures, nmde's, etc. ; coucealii'i; t>ictures behind screen on blackboard; using small uictnre card*, vavying their position!', and having cliildien tell or write what thoy do or see done, Thu exercises should be varied. After a short recess a sni.ill class was introduced and Mr. Tilley gave a most imeresting lesson ill teaching reading as tt^Q .'expitssion of tliouxht. Uo used the Sentences, " Do you go to school to diiy i " Mary always leurns her lessons well," and by judicious questioiiiiiK he had the pupils read so as to emplmsize the words nojes.sary tiishow the ici'io, ir/icn, ir.'ii rt,/ioio and vlmt oi tlie expre.-,8;on. l<'uriln.r exercises i:i sight reading were taken from ihe reader. At thecl.ise of his work Mr. Tilley in.vdo a short a IdrejR expressive of his~ piensure 111 being .igain with the teachers of this IiifpectorHto. It was wiih""iio small de greeofregict that the teachers Icnrned that Mr. 'filhy would iii al) proliiASlitj-, FIELD AND' Garden 5EEDS -^^^.^ in large quantities at W.E.Richardson's nevxr be with them auaiii in the c:ip,\city of Director of Institutes. The teachurs Lireat responsibility wits mapbically described in few words, and Mr. Tilley lift the room csriyiiii> with him the very kindest feelings of all pre-uiit. Mr. Rowe, the active and energetic principal of Markd.ile Public School, iwxt read a rai-y and intere.stiim essay on the newspaper in school.s. Every citizen reads the newspapers and owns the paper he reads. It is doubtful if neW9- piper ii:eii auree with him here. News- pa;ier reading will nnke pupi's m -re thoughtful,' and -videu their ideas; will assist pupils in the U'lilersiamliiig of pailaiiKiiiary terms suoli tm Cihinot, Ministry, Piemier, etc. It would be well to use the newspaper in seliouls ; it might be souietiiiicH used with g lud ellucl tor rcad!ii'.X exercises. Several ifooil points were brought out in the discussion of the piper by Mes.srM. (iloiidinning, Camp- bell, Ram isie and Millt. Mr. Ge. rae Cushiiie read an c.saay on "Geography, When, What and How to teach 11 " winch bruu^ilil out the follow- ioi! points ; (1) Tcuch facts in proper order.
