Help Stock to Thrive EURHAM CHRONICLE Yet in this case there has been a de- sided change, as North Bruce, left to itself is Conservative. Now what caused the slump? It might be that the London Election Scandal caused it; or the extention of the fishing season in Bruce for five days: or the Quebec by-election ; or the fact that John Tolnne is an exceedingly popular man among all classes, may have something to do with it. Of course it is rather unfortunate that he is a Grit, but of course that is his own funeral. The fact that John Tolmie, Grit, Patron, etc, etc.. has a political past. did not cut much of a swath in that Riding. Men in the country removed from the influences of town and city life change very slowly. The indications point to the election of John Tolmie, ex-M. P., the erstwhile Grit, Patron. P. P. A., etc., etc._. over A. McLeHan. Conservative, by a sub- stantial nmjority of 200. “'hat if John Tolmie did vote‘ against two cents a. mile on the rail- ways; suppose he was absent when; the matter of restricting the Express companies came up; and suppose he did run as a Patron against a hard shell Grit?

CARD OF THANKS STRATFORD, ONT ttinz oh The twenty-ninth annual meeun of the South Grey Teachers’ Institute was held in Flesherton school-house on Thursday and Friday last. It was the usual convention weather â€"rain the night beforeâ€"rain again in the morning, rain at regular intervals during the session, and rain to come home by. Notwithstanding all this, a load of sixteen from here defied the elements and started out early Thurs- day morning for the scene of the hat- tle. but there were no guns fired during the forenoon. At half-past one the president, Dominie kReid, of No. 3 Artemesia, who has Been teaching there for about eighteen years. took his place on the platform, read a portion of Scripture and asked Inspector Campbell to lead in prayer. Secretary Allan read the minutes of the last meeting, which were adopted on motion of Inspector Campbell, sec- 1 onded by J. S. Rowe. Principal of Markdale Public Schools The Secre- tary was reminded in the resolution, however, that he ‘had forgotten to make a memo of the excursion to Guelph and the sightseeing and feast- ing enjoyed there at the last meeting. When Mr. Allan got this little matter straightened out properly, he read a resolution from the \Vest Grey Teach- 1ers’ Association, relating to the desir- ability of placing urban schools on the Messrs. Rowe, \Vood and Coleridge.E and Misses A. C. McKenzie and M.I McClocklin were. appointed a general} i committee to report on nomination off .sulw-mmnnittees and to report at a subsequent meeting of the convention. i l l l l i ‘ Inspector Campbell gave his report I of the Ontario Educational Association iof 1906. He confined his remarks to S the great events of that meetine‘. i which was held just prior to the great ichanges in the regulations relating to ' rural school salaries and other import- ant matters. The points emphasized 'I in his address were : same footing as country schools regard- ing salaries, grading of certificates, etc. Referred to committee on Reso- lution s. TEACHERS MEET (.1) The Nationalizing of our Educa- tional system which is now only provin- cial in scope. (2) The qu-munizing of the. Public Schools and the Education Department and the granting of more power to public schonls in the Education De- partment than they hitherto have had. (3) The establishment of Township Boards, which would minimize the de- fects of the present system. (4) Teachers’ unions. superannua- tion for teachers, mechanical training, and higher scholastic attainments for teachers engaged in continuation work. President Reid next delivered his address on “ Physicial Training,” and in his well chosen remarks he empha- sized the “ mens sane in corpore sano” ideaâ€"a sound mind in a sound body as an absolute essential in teachers, Whose average life is shorter than that of al. most any other employment. Miss Bains read an excellent paper on “Moral Culture.” which was con- sidered good enough by the Conven- tion to be requested for publication in the local papers, in one or more of which it will appear in due time. Mr. J. L. Cornwall, 8. A.. Principal of Meaford High School. was next in- troduced to the Convention, and after a commendable reference to the im- proved condition of pupils now en tering the High School compared with that of a. few years ago, illustrated briefly the work in Algebra and Arithmetic, to which special attention should be given as a foundation for the super- structure of the more advanced work to be given in the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes. The new geom- etry he considered a great improve- ment on the old methods of teaching the subject. Would recommend thor ough training and accuracy in me- chanical drawing, in which pupils should reach a. high state of proficiency before entering the theoretical work. Thoroughness in all work is a great essential. Miss Trimble of Flesherton, who spent some time as a musical student in Detroit. rendered a beautiful solo which was highly appreciated. For this some teacher rose boldly in his place and remarked “Allow me to move a vote of thanks.” Mr. Drimmie addressed the Convenâ€" tion on “The Influence of Teachers.” The subject is a. hackneyed one, but we feel assured that Mr. Drimmie gave new ideas, and an inspiration by which all might be improved. \Ve under- stand that Mr. Drimmie is a lineal descendent of a man of the same name who taught in Flesherton many years ago, andvhad Joe Clark, of “ Saturday Night,” as one of his illustrious pupils. The evening entertainment consisted of a Dramatic Performance by the Flesherton school stafi assisted by a number of the citizens of Flesherton. Principal M ansell was director of cere- monies, and the play was exceedingly “well rendered and highly enjoyed by ninth annual meeting ' DURHAM CHRONICLE a. goodly audience of teachers and citi- zens. Friday morning’s session was opened in the usual way by devotional exer- cises, after which Miss Stafford gave a. very mstructive paper on “ School Gardening.” The essay is to be pub- lished in the local papers. and as Miss Stafford is recognized as a brilliant star in the South Grey Teachers’ sis- ternity we can easily anticipate its , merit and recommend a careful perus- al of the essay when it appears. ‘ Mr. Rowe, Principal of Markdale Public School, gave a very thoughtful paper on School \Vork._ Knowledge of the work, Cheerfulness in perform- ing it, Patience in the discharge of duty,a and a love for the mo ilcation of knowledge in the pupil are all essen- tials to success. The paper was well received and favorably commented on I by prominent members of the Conven- I tion. Inspector Campbell gave a pithy and." pointed address on the amended school Act in its relation to teachers. He pointed out that the state was paying largely for the training of teachers, and that it was the duty of the state to see that these state trained teachers should remain in the profession and not go elsewhere.â€"but what are the facts. How can the state keep their teachers when other provinces are of- fering better inducements. The meth- od adopted by the state may not be the best one, but it is the best means 1 available at present. and it is therefore a I the duty of every teacher irrespective of political or other-influences to assist the state in having the law fully car- ried out. The changes in the regula- gtions were made for the benefit of t“Educatinn. and thus for the. benefit (if a teachers, who should make tlielniselves gfully conversant with the new regula- ' tions in order that they may he mis- sionaries in enlightening the rate-pay- ers who have not read the bill.

As far as possible the ‘ pupils should be led or allowed to see things for themselves, and those facts in geography which the pupils have not the privilege of seeing should he taught chiefly by a development of the imaginative faculties Important facts should receive most attention and the mind should not be burdened with a mere list of names. Map draw- ing is highly desirable and should be much practised. Mr. Howey gave an excellent paper on “Music in Schools,” dividing his subject into the \Vhy, \Vhab an How We should teach in music. \Vhyâ€"Be- cause of its use, its attractiveness, its en'nobling influence, its aid in physical deveponient, its voice improvement, etc., etc. Howâ€"By repetition. person- al influence. or the influence of a pupil who can lead, etc. Mr. M. K. Richardson was called upon and extended a hearty welcome. to the teachers. He referred to his present position in looking after home- less children in the‘province. and how his work brought him in closer touch than ever before with the teaching fraternity. He expressedadesire that teachers havmg "home children” in their sections would notify him if such children were not given the advant- ages of receiving a good education. “\Vherein lies the Teacher’s success” was the title of a paper read by Miss Soul. and was deemed worthy of pub- lication in the local papers of the in- spectorate.
