After opening cxcercises on Friday morning, Mr. A.‘ H. Leakc was called upon by Mr. Stevens, chairman; for his address, according to the pro- gram. He exhibited some very inter- esting specimens of decorative work: done by pupils in actual school study withoutaaccess to the regular equip- ment for practical education. His talk was principally a. description of how the work is done. Some speci- mens of picture mounting and hang- ing, design work in paper, et.c., were shown. Work can be knpmvised from material easily procaiPcd. A rush mat made in the course‘ of nature study» was a fine specimen, the choice of color as well as size of strands making variety, and caus- ing nature study to haVe a larger meaning to the pupil who did the work. . An interesting class of study work is making hluc prints of leaves and sun: prints of thin pieces of wood showing the. peculiarities of thoigrain of the various woods. Such speci- mens mounted in passe partout Jmake nice adornments for the school walls.‘ IOAVV wuv- ._77.

Nowadays the pace is so fast that it is necessary to take every opportunity of teach- ing the pupil the proper values of things; to know that true success is not in rapid accumulation of wealth, or in advancement by the failures of others; to be firm and true in times of prosperity as Well as adversity. Miss M. Graham was to read a paper on .the same subject, but she had not brought it, expecting it to come in the afternoon, as indicated on the program, She said that the great end of teaching is to make good citizens. Literature trains the emotional nature. If the pupil learns to love what is beautiful, to think what is true. and _do what is good, their course in life would be right. Mr. Jas. Colling: The! public li- braries contain much that is not fit for pupils to read, the object of most story writers being to produce an exciting story. Something should be done,to limit the number of.books the boys can get. or cut out; this class of reading altogether. . Mr. J. H. Knight : The mmtfers loi the library board would be glad to get. information as to how they can best deal with readers. It is diffi- cult to get them to read the 'better class of books. It is difiicult to get working men to read at all, ‘but'. if they do read their tastes naturally improve. - Mr. Rogers |: The prevalence “of light literature is .an argument in. favor of school libraries. The gov- ernment should put a label of ingre- dients on books as well as on patent medicine bottles. Perhaps teachers and librarians could understand each other, and thus better direct the youth in selection of reading. Mr. Walks: If left to select for himself, a. boy will take what. he likes. If he reads _the newspargr the sporting column will likely be his choice. Every school should have a library of its own.

Familiarity with the sub- ject makes it easier to keep to the text. It is useless to memorize that of which the mind does not grasp the meaning. Unsystematic reading is bad tor the memory. The memory studies should be taken up early in the day, for the mind is more re- tentive when the body -is not {an tigued. Mr. Knight complimented the writ- er of the papedx and discussed some of the questions it contained. Mr. Hickson recommended review‘ work for memory Study. Mr. Cornish thought there were some talse ideas current as to memorization. Com- mitting one poem does not neces- sarily make it easier' to remember another. Good memory depends up- on‘ training the Iattentiou. What we attend to we remember. Memorize- tion can be overdone. Just choice passages should be memorized. Miss Amy White: The plan I have been following is to put on the board some short gem of thought in verse or prose and leave it there for a week or two so that all may learn it. Mr. Cornish referred to the prodi- gious memory of Lord Macaulay, which was developed by reading a page and then seeing how much he could repeat of it. In this way he learned to attend to the sense of iwhat he read. He gave other in- istances of similar‘expericnce. Mr. Stevens believed in being able to repeat the exact words of an author, not in a blind way. There is a. good deal of heart training. in memorization. Geography may be memorized in a blind way and the mind be far from the thought. He once asked a. child, 1‘.What is ‘a spring ?" The child was mentally struggling for the words of the hook definition. Another teacher spoke of the ac thetic value of memorizing poetry. “Have you seen a spring ?" he in- quired. “Tell us what you saw.’ “It was up in the woods here, and it. was water coming out of the ground " and that was as good a definition as could be given. The verbal expression is of little value if the mind does not catch the thought. One can learn to read a. book through rapidly and know all that is in it. A course in vscience will compel the mind to remember what is in a‘b00k. That is a cram. some will say. But once in the mind and understood, the thought is nevâ€" er forgotten. If we can accomplish what Macaulay did we should be satisfied. , , Mr. Knight : “Is remembering hap- penings of years ago and forgetting recent happenings a defect of ' the mind ?” ' iMr. Stevens: "It may be a. proof that the attention of the child is greater than that of a man in ad- vanced life.’ PAPERS P0 STPONED. .Mr. D.

This subject is one of a broad nature. said Ir. O'Connor; the od- ueation otthe masses is the great source at national strength. 11:. municipality controls the schools. and the property of the schools as well as the education at the children 18 placed in control of trustees. The board of trustee. in the pivot upon the board the whole municipality system lags. A trustee should be a man 0! more than ordinary charac- ter, honest in business, energetic and trustworthy, with a fair education.‘ and a knowledge 01 the importance 0! education. The ratepayers gen- erally have too low an idea of the qualifications necessary for a true- tee, and therefore great care is ex- ercised in the choice of candidates. As a rule the ratepayers are rather indiflerent to the work of the true- tees. They never attend the board meetings. This apathy' fosters in- ‘ difference in the trustee. An unwise provision in the statute allows any ratepayer to become a trustee no matter what his assess- ment. There is no property qualifi- cation required. The law simply re- quires the trustee to. be On the as- sessment roll. Separate school trus- tees don't have to own a: foot of land. It is a mistake. There should be a property quafification. The property owner will be more alive to the needs of education than one who has none. A "n-v --â€"~ -- Suitable buildings and equipment must be provided. though the money is generally limited. . Buildings should be upâ€"toâ€"date and grounds attractive, for the child should be taught ,to appreciate cleanliness. order and beauty. Grounds should be provided for healthful exercise. All great schools and colleges encour- _.-I‘ .n‘A age athletics and physical culture. The athletes are usually at the head of their classes. The intellectual side; should not be neglected. neither should the health of students be neglected. Proper maps should be provided {or schools, for a boy should not be ex- pected to appreciate the greatness of our‘country when it is represented to him on a‘diminutive map. Considerations of relationship or friendship should not be allowed to hinder the trustees in selecting teachers. They should' be selected for their merit and be paid salaries that accord with their worth. Trustees should visit the schools and keep interested in the work bping done, and use their influence to educate our boys and girls to lead they may be called. Mr. Smale: We sometimes forget that the trustee has a: two-fold duty, that is, a duty to the tax payer and a duty to the child. At the teachers meeting the idea was expressed that there is nothing that the teachers sufler more from than the lack of sympathy tram parents and. trustees. ,A, ,I 4L- run the schools to their own taste. The trustee was once'in priority, but now it is different. The trustees have not kept. in proper touch with the schools, they have been careless. I hope the present organization . will - _'._- arouse the trustees especially to an appreCiation of the position they occupy. and that they will feel it their privilege to interfere in the educational system. Some things which demand criticism would not need to be criticized it the trustees were there at the inception of the idea. The attendance at this meeting should have been better. Every trustee should enter upon the dis- charge of his duties in the full know- ledge of the large responsibility of his office. Mr. Hickson : The teacher has the making of the young men and worn- en, and the‘ responsibility of the trustee comes next. 0! course the first great force in education is the home, but the schools come next. The trustee has to select the teacher and supply the proper equipment. and must stand behind the teachers in what they do... Trustees are some- times too critical. Fair criticism is all right, but if a teacher is inferior he will become worse by criticism. No doubt there is a great deal of influence among trustees and parâ€" ents, and this is likely to undo what the schools are trying to do. râ€"'â€"v â€"~ '7’ . wit: is true that we have allowed ,the inspectors iand‘ teachgrs to simfily ,_A._ rmteu' Section EéLikJOI fire to which nature V- U" Toumul. cow 1y. hu Itddlod broad or It. could at tho «1- The we: say!

Mr. Staples: I would recommend that the curriculum be shortened to the essentials. ‘ , , I vulva-sup“ . Mr. O'Connor said that the rule for compulsory attendance might not be ‘ applicable to the rural schools, but it is necessary in the towns. The reading of- pupils is cerâ€" tainly bad and writing is worse.- The writing has degenerated on ac- count of changes in the style so often. The teacher who is a bad writer will turn out pupils who are bad writers. There are, no doubt. two ways of looking at the curricu- lum. The higher subjects are essenâ€" tial as well as the fundamentm Mr. Truman moved, seconded by Mr. O'Connor. "that while we ap- prove of a curriculum broadI enough to give our youth a thorough and comprehensive outlook, we insist and demand that these supplementary subjects shall not. be so numerous as to interfere with a thorough ground- ing in the old standard subjects, reading. spelling. writingand calcu- lation." ’Hie motion was carried. Mr. Truman mentioned that a res- olution was passed at the last meet- ing asking that the home work 0! pupils be lessened, and Mr. Hickson thought that the less home wor , _I_!__. :n thought that the less horhc work done the better if the teaching is well done in the schools.

He did not believe in halting between two opinions. “(This will I do: I will pull down rpy barns.” He was prepared to incur expense. to make sacrifices of a. sort. But the expense and the sacrifice centred in self, and returned to the centre. He will build larger barns â€"while there are empty. store-houses in the worldâ€"and worse still, empty cupboards. He appropriates all. for- getting God. He is very careful to speak of “My fruits." “My. corn and my goods." Where does God. the Partner, come in ?
