The paper will be published by request of the teachers. A wide diversity of opinion obtains respecting respecting the best methods of teaching grammar and therefore Inspector Albert Odell, Coboutg, felt; in discussing Jn-, trance Grammar from the "Standpoint of Language? that he was entering debatable grounds. He prefaced his remarks with quotations from White, who, in his Elements Elements of Pedagogy, says that 'a successful successful study of the science of language re- 1 quires a subtlety of judgment and a maturity maturity of reason possessed by few pupils under 14 years of age. Mr. Odell thot that if language were properly taught up thru the Third Reader there would be little difficulty in mastering the technical side of grammar within the two years re_ quired for a careful study of the Fourth 1. Reader. Teachers should not too early use technical terms and then would succeed succeed much better in studying language There is no virtue in using such terms as nouns, verbs, modifiers, etc., causing intense intense hatred of the subject. Very few pupils like grammar simply because technical technical terms are forced on them. He thot that the weekly story hour should be established established to develop aptitude for telling a story. By this practice oral and written composition would receive a wonderful impetus. Stories told one week could be used to good advantage the following .weeK for written composition.

After a most cordial welcome he asked the teachers to inspect the new Central School carefully. President Frank A'dams of Inspectorate No. 3, Principal of Warkworth school, and brother of Rev. Chas. Adams, well 1 and favorably known in Durham county, fittingly replied. -own' Prof. H. T. J. Coleman, B.A., Ph-D., of the Faculty of Education in Queen s University, University, Kingston,, formerly of Toronto University, who was assigned by the Education Department to attend this convention, convention, met with a very cordial greeting and proved by his admirable addresses to be an excellent entertainer and lecturer on educational topics. His opening remark remark that he felt at home among them created a bond of sympathy, 1and with Durham teachers especially, when he told them he was an old West Durham bay, his birthplace being in Darlington town west of Solma. From a Staff" Corespondent. Durham county has very good reason to boast of the clever boys who have gone forth from her schools to take a share in the public affairs of this country. One of these is Dr. D. J. Goggin,-M. A., a Cartwright Cartwright township boy who was for years Head Master of Port Hope schools and now filling an important position position in the Educatiqn Dept., Toronto. Peter boro citizens hardly measured up tpt he usual Bowmanville audience when a speaker of Dr. ' Goggin's standing is announced announced for an address but the loss was all with the absentees for the discourse was illuminating, interesting, inspiring and merited a much larger audience. / "It has been said that .no country can spend too much on education. The very existe ce of the state depends upon the school. The state means the people and the people are made up of the individuals of whom each adult must have received some education. Thus the school • is responsible for the nature or character ot the State." , This fact was clearly brought out by Dr. Goggin in his address Thursday evening evening to the Teachers' Convention al Peter- boro Collegiate Institute. ' He explained that as there were to be citizens present as well as teachers and | students he had been asked to deal with some practical subject, consequently his choice was "Practical Education. _ In opening his address Dr. Goggin said that if he were asked to sum up in one word the dominant characteristic of the twentieth century he would choose the 1 term "unrest." This term of unrest is almost almost universal both politically and industrially. industrially. The struggle for the franchise and the recent coal s rikes are evidences of this but the reaf basis of it all is the determination of the mass. population to secure . he controlling influence in legisla.' tion--to secure a real democracy, i hr struggle, the speaker traced from the days of the Magna Charta right down to those of Victoria and on to our own 1913* The 18th annual convention of the Ep- worth Leaguers of Bowmanville District was held in Methodist Church, Newcastle, Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 20th and 2ist.

The stage will be 14x20 ft with two dressing rooms, allowing plenty of space for vaudeville acts. There will be five exits. The upper upper storey will be fitted for a six-roomed residence. The original specifications also also called for a large ball room at the rear of residence but this will not be built at present. With favorable weather the contractors expect to have the roof on by Christmas, but the theatre will not be ready to open before February.

Come in and see how small the actual cost is. instructive andprofitabjejalk|idea preparing qf a are the problems which ' democracy propogates. The church, the state and the school are the three agencies which must combine m this work. The church as a social force and indeed it is much more than that must christianize and teach the individual his responsibility towards the rest of mankind Forty years ago in Canada the population population was largely rural. The school look ed after scholarship, the church, religion and morals. In the home the young people learned in their daily duties and chores, what now constitutes household science, manual training, dairying, agriculture, agriculture, etc., and at the guild the boy learned his trade. Gradually with changing changing conditions in the country the churches, guilds and even the home have lost their influence and the school has grown in importance importance from what one might say a puny thing to the biggest institution in the State! To-day the school is asked to do a dozen things we would never have thought of in connection with it, forty years ago. The rule seems to be whatever anybody else fails to do, have the school do. Dr. Goggin dwelt for a few moments on the need for supervised playgrounds in the city schools and also with the teaching teaching of Agriculture in schools all over On- ârio with special reference to the work being done by Mr. R. S. Duncan of Port Hope. Then he passed on to the questmn "Are our schools efficiently fulfilling the demands made Of them ? Are they practical? practical?

The fifth department of our work was overlooked--on Tuesday afternoon Rev. S. C. Moore, B.D., Oshawa, imparted many practical thoughts on the work of our Juniors, how and when to organize, where to meet, different methods of keeping keeping up the interest, etc. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is in securing competent competent leaders--they must have many high qualities of mind and heart.
