Annual Teachers' Convention KENORA TEACHERS' Institue was held in Central School, Kenora, on Thursday and Friday, October 12 and 13th. Mr S. Shannon, B.A., was in the chair. The opening exercises were taken by Rev. W. J. McQuarrie. Ad- dresses of welcome were then given by Mr G. A. Toole, Mayor of Kenora; Mr. McLeod, Chairman of the Board of Education, and Col. Schnaar, Presi- dent of Rotarians. The business part of the meeting was then held, and the following officers elected for the com- ing year. m Presiden--H. M. Jackson, Dryden. Vice-Pres.--J. M. Adams, Keewatin. See-Treas--Miss C. Hoeflin. Managing Committee-- Miss G. Thornbury, Miss A. A. Doolan, Miss E. V. Ingall, Mr J. M. Adams, Mr Keenan, Mr H. M. Jackson. Mr H. M. Jackson then tendered an invitation to the Institute, from the Dryden School Board, for next year. This was unanimously accepted by the teach This was followed by the ident's address. In this Mr Shan- ion, emphasized the duty of teachers in being loyal to one another. The morning session was then ad- journed. : The afternoon session was opened at one thirty. The first item on the pro- gramme was an outing on "Lake of the Woods." The teachers were taken out in' launches kindly lent by the citizens of Kenora. After going up 'he lake as far as the 'Summer Home,' of Mr Allen, the party returned to the chool, where a talk on 'Canadian iterature' was given by Dr Silcox of atratford Normal. - Dr Sileox stated | {Mat the object of his lecture was to stimulate the love of reading good lit- erature. "We read," he said, "to gain an insight into the past experiences of others, in which it is now impossible for us to take part, rather than for more knowledge and further, in order {o convey ideals of experience, better 18ers 18 s. ow oceeded to trace the growth of Can- adion Literature from Thomas Chan- Flaliburton of Halifax, Nova tia, "the father of American hum- our," to the present time, by referring to the best authors who contributed | that literature, and reading Irom writings, or giving the substance 3 heir best stories As a guide to good reading, two lements should be considered, first, the permanency of the literature and second, the nature of the theme. It is not desirable to read new books, that is the reviewers' and librarians' task. © Let them guide us to the best he theme of the best literature is that of the Bible--unselfishness and love. As a typical example, Sir Gil- bert Parker's "March of the White Guard" was quoted. > Dr Silcox then went on to say that the teacher should stimulate and guide the pupils to read the best. The pub- ic and school library should aid the teacher in this work. Only by reading good Canadian Literature can a healthy Canadian ivit be developed. ~ Unity of aims 1d ideals can be obtained in no other way. Hence the necessity of placing Canadian Literature in the hands of our foreign born. Dr Sileox provided o teachers with a list of Canadian authors and their work, that it would Sp ar Thursday evening at 8 o'clock The frst item on the programme was a lecture by Dr Silcox, illustrated with taken by himself. His subject Artistic Schools and School Gar- As a leading example he chowed a view of the Rittenhouse School rin Lincoln county, built and pped by Mr Rittenhouse for the heneft of the children in the commun- ity where he was raised. Dr. Sileox then went on to say that had stimulat- ed other sections to build good schools in the province, and indeed some of them much better equipped than many of our town and city schools. ~ Many Slides were then shown of schools both On Miss Hullen. enthusiastically encored. On Friday morning, Miss Dorothy Maconachie of Kenora, gave an inter- esting exhibition lesson in Nature Study, and in a very able manner showed how children might be taught the interesting life of "The Spider". This was followed by a lecture, "Motivation in school work," by [4 Sileox. Motivation is that attack upon school work which seeks to make work significant and purposeful to the child, by relating it to his experiences and desires. > 'Dr Silcox believed that children could cover the public school course in much less time than they do at present if they could be encouraged to put forth greater effort. Great effort and interest on the part of the teacher created the same on the part of the pupil. He also went on to say that teachers should take as their model, the Great Teacher, Jesus Christ. One of the great examples of a mod- el present day teacher, was Marian Bruce. She saw the need of educating the foreign born and by the help of a friendly handshake and a genial smile, won their confidence. She then had influence with them in the matter of dress and in forming good habits of health. Hers was the part of the Good Samaritan. Dr Silcox believed it to be the great work of the school and the church to make good Canad- jans of these foreign born. Dr Silcox then drew comparisons between the old and modern idea of education. The old way was more by force and it was a painful process. The present day idea is to make work pleasant and get the pupil to have more ambition to go on to higher spheres of activity. a This lecture, was concluded by giv- ing five reasons for motivated school Work-- 1 Real education. 2 To secure effort over long periods without fatigue. 3 Avoids, monotony and thus alleviates fatigue. 4 Improves memory. 5 Se- cures real self-activity. The morning session was concluded by a report of the O.E.A. 1922, given {by Miss Gertrude Thornbury of Kee- watin. The Friay afternoon session was opened by an exhibition lesson in Geography, taught by Mr Gerard Brimble. In this lesson, the children were taught many interesting facts about Newfoundland and its wonder- ful fishing industry. This lesson was followed by a talk on books, by Mr H. M. Jackson. Mr Jackson believes that the present gen- oration does not take enough time for reading and thinking. In fact he be- lieved that the part in some of our brains devoted to thinking was about the size of a ten-cent piece. He be- lieved we should make friends of books and offen some of our best self- criticism was obtained from these friends. Then, too, children and also grown-ups can learn unconsciously from good reading, that which would otherwise be a hard lesson. Also a person's character is largely determin- ed by the quality of his reading. Mr Jackson then gave a list of books which he had found profitable reading, and concluded by reading some ex- tracts from the work of John Oxen- ham. This talk was followed by a "Ques- tion Drawer", during which time many practical problems were discussed. A vote of thanks was then tendered the citizens and teachers of Kenora for their hospitality. : The session was then concluded by the Rev. E. Diamond, who read the twenty-fourth Pslam, followed by prayer and Benediction.---- (By E.V.I) Mr Morgan Smith wishes = to an- nounce that he will give music lessons to parties desiring to learn the piano.

Suerly no more worthy a cause could be imagin- ed. The suffering of the fire victims in the present inclement weather must be intense and all over the country efforts are being made to alleviate this suffering. Dryden surely, does not want to be alone in denying support to this cause. The Board of Trade or the Municipal Council or some responsible body should take the mater up at once and see to it that the citizens are impressed with the urgent importance of con- tributing something to the alleviation of the existing distress among the families of our blood brothers. The country has scarcely ever been visited by such an appalling disaster and it would be a crime and a stain on our humanity, were we to let the opportunity go by without doing our utmost to help those of our own nationality who are so sadly in need of our assistance. COUNCIL MEETIN The Dryden Municipal Council met Wadnesday eveing October 11th in the Town Hall. "The Mayor and al WieT- bers of ths (»arcil were prasent, The principal business transacted was in connection with the proposed water: works system to the hospital and new public school. It was decided to put in -an eight-inch pipe from near Mr Norman Beveridge's house down Art- hur Street to White Street. A six-in. pipe will run from there to the corner of Van Horne and Albert Streets and a four-inch pipe from there to the school corner. This will be the nu- cleus of a system to run to the C.P.R. and furnish water for the C.P.R. tank and stand-pipe. Messrs J. B. Bever- idge, Herb Wilde and Frank Mathews were appointed a committee to handle all contracts in connection with the proposed system and the work will be commenced as soon as possible. In view of the terrible conflagration in Northern Ontario, th den aree to be congratulated in having a council with foresight sufficient to inaugurate a system which will, with ; Dryden, October 10th, 7 Mr and sufficient hose, give fire protection to the major part of the town. askin e citizens of Dry-1 Wedding Bells Miller--A twood IN St. Luke's Church, Dryden, : or Monday, Oct. 16th, Joseph Miller was united in marriage to Velva Fay At wood. The Rev. S. N. Dixon, rector of St. Luke's, officiated. The bride was given away by her mother Mrs Keene, of Oxdrift. A very large congregation was pre- sent in Church to witness the beaut- iful marriage service of the Anglican Church, which never loses its impress iveness. The bride and groom are botl well known and highly popular, which increased the interest of the spectators After the ceremony, the party ad- journed to the home of Mr and Mrs W Harman, where the bride's cake--z work of art from the confectionery o Tommy Walters--was cut, and the guests entertained to luncheon. A happy social evening, including danc- ing and games was spent by the happy couple and their friends. The youthfulness of the pair lent an air of romance to the occasion, deepening the emotion with which their many friends extended their con- gratulations. INSPECTS MILITIA On Saturday, Oct. 14th, "D" Com- pany of the Kenora Light- Infantry wag inspected by Col. A. H. Borden of the Headquarter's Staff, M. D. 10, Winnipeg. Accompanying the inspect- ing officer was Lieut-Col Schnaar, of Kenora, officer commanding the Ken- ora Light Infantry. Capt. S. N. Dix- on with Sergant "Paddy" Wilson met the party at the station, from whence they poceeded to the school grounds where t he company was drawn up in charge of Lieut. Jackson. After the 'General Salute' was sounedd by Sgt. Gammon, Col. Borden inspected the company, conversing a few minutes with the returned men. The officers and N.C.0.'s of the com- pany then took charge and put the men through a series of evolutions. Col. Borden in his address to the company, pointed out the advantages to be obtained by the individual in becoming efficient in military work, and the great personal gain derived in the physical training, taken regu- # larly. "D". company has an excellent opportunity to do this in having Con- pany Sgt.-Major Livingston, an old Coldstream Guards' instrutor, in charge of this work. The Colonel con- gratulated the officers, N.C.0.'s and men of the Dryden company on the <cellent showing they made on the completion of the season's course of training. He expressed the wish that the company would increase its en- rollment with the right type of men The company was then dismissed and Col's Borden, Schnaar and Lieut. Jack- son were driven by Mr M. F. Cook to view the new school, the power de- velopment at the Wainwright Falls, and the farming section between Dry- den and Oxdrift. The visiting officers were then taken charge of by Mayor Pitt, having expressed themselves as being very greatly surprised by the promising and progressive outlook of Dryden and the surrounding District. SB IGNACE am-- Toot Mackey has left Ignace for Dryden, to take up permanent resi- dence with her parents. We are sorry she has left us as we were just begin- ning to like her. : Local anglers-report a blowy Sunday spent at Raleigh on the 15th inst. Be- ing optimists, they also exclaim, "this is the life". In spite of the rough and wintry weather, Frank Tanner and Herbie Wormworth 'braved the elements to the extent of reaching Fifth Lake last Sunday. Reported that the trip was not all honey, and judging from the appearance of the adventurous couple on their return, one would opine that they had a bad scare. Which brings us to remark, that two respectable young gentlemen of the local "Sport Set", confessed, under cross-examination, to spending devii- ishly uncomfortable Saturday night on account of wolves at the Lakeside. Not afraid of course--but still a chap can't feel just cozy when wolves pei- gist in emitting weird howls, from 12 p.m. until 5am. right outside one's shack. Tred Patterson, his brother Joe and i Percy Evans are seeminly having a whale of a time in their new home. They are eating like fighting cocks; re- decorating like old professionals. Oh, you bachelors' life." * 4 Nurse To Start V Miss, Veitch district: visiting } has practically' concluded 'her di visting for the season, and. w 1p work in Dryden at the Scho n other channels. There are h 2 few homes outside, that ha been reached, and Miss Veitch will at these homes as opportunity off at three o'clock; nurse Veitch wil in the Town Hall weekly = well clinics, to include all children school age. This will enable' m ot to keep tab on the weight and he of their children and be bennifici: siving them atall times the advantage of consultation with one trained to care of babies and children. ; All homes where there are babies. ;wo years old and under, Miss Veitch will visit in a consulting and an. ac visory capacity. Right here let it he stated that it is not within the province of a nurse to diagnose or 1d physician. A visiting Nurse: ca she sees or suspects any trouble. ; the children examined, only advise the parents te consult a physician, that is as far as her privilages carry her. Miss Veitch will also hold classes known as Little mothers classes. : This will be done weekly after four ofelock, and a series of eight lessons will be given, instructing the 'Little Mothers' in the art of handling and caring for babies and young children. ya The work in the schools will ¢on- sist of examining, weighing, and tak- ng the height of the chidren. Where physical defects are noted, a visit will be made to the homes of the children and the parents consulted and advised When a child is found to be ten per sent or over, under weight; in ratio to ais height it is presumed that from some cavse or other he is under aourished, or does not get proper rest; i or perhaps has some organic trouble. The two former conditions, the nurse an advise concerning, but if the thid organic, trouble is suspected, a physician is at once indispensable. In the schools the children will be taught the value of health, and health yiving habits, and the reason for the | yeing carried on made plain.' Ibis recognised that great service may be sendered the homes of the 'Little Mothers' by giving the knowledge of how to care for their younger broth- srs and sisters. The work is of the ut- nost importance and Miss Veitch pits "er whole heart in it, and the results accuring will undoubtly be of untold value.
