In deveIOping concen- flration and accuracy in perception, there is no better subject. Its value in the coâ€"ordination of eye, hand and heart is unchallengable. Even the short 'vocal periods of music which we can make use of in a rural school house, so refresh the pupils’ minds that they return to their work with renewed vig- attend the play, “The Two Masters” presented by the WMS. of the United church. A short intermission was giv- en and during this time many teachers ‘paid their fees, and subscriptions for ' Educational Magazines. our and greatly stimulated mental ef- ficiency. One of the greatest values of music after all is in making the Home and Community life attractive, and so the schools offer probably the quick- est way to reach the homes. Songs for school may be divided in to 2 classes. (1) Songs for detailed study. (2) Rec- reative songs. In rural schools we deal mostly with recreative songS. Miss Wright advocated teaching more “Rou- unds”. Rounds are excellent specimens of part singing and are easier to learn than part songs, The speaker thought that no teacher should hesitate be- cause she feels the lack of musical training. She may make a start and grow with her pupils. Children should be trained to listen to music, for it is after the listener has been aroused by the parts in music, that he may en- quire, “Who wrote that music? Are all his tunes so sweet, and clear?” Children should also be taught to lis- ten to Nature’s music. Miss Wright ad- vocated musical gathering to develop musical talent. “Administration of a Rural School.” was the subject of an excellent address given by Mr. Kirstine, of Proton Sta. Public School. Organization and govern ment of the rural school should be dealt with in such a way that all iterests shall contribute to the high ideals of the school. Organization consists of arranging equipment, seating pupils and constructing a time table. To gov- Miss Ruth B. Wright, of 8.8. No. 4, Egremont, in a very pleasing manner dealt with the subject: "Music in a rural school.” Why teach it? (1) To cultivate a taste for good music, (2) To provide an ennobling means of self expression. (3) To afford a pleasant and agreeable change in the routine of school work, and the occupations of daily life. vocal music in the school is cultural, intellectual, physical and social in its benefits. Music has a val- ue equal to the best subjects on the curricula. For memory training. music The teachers then wended their way to the hotels, restaurants, and homes to partake of a hearty dinner. ern means to control. This must be done under healthful conditions, good light and plenty of fresh air. As child- ren are bouyant and get restless a short period of physical training will help to get rid of the surplus energy. Mr. Kirstine thinks that discipline in a school is an important factor. Obed- ience has to be maintained but obed- ience can best be obtained by (1) gain- ing the child’s respect, (2) overlooking trivial misdemeanours and (3) avoid constant nagging. Mr. Kirstine gave to the teachers much practical infom- ation in a humorous manner. in; be extended a hearty invitation to Miss Agnes Hume. one of the pro- gressive teachers of South Grey, dealt with “Busy Work for Beginners at Schoo Busy work should be called seat work. The greatest need is well planned and purposeful seat work. We find that the busiest are the happiest. Seat work should consist of prepara- D tory work and follow-up material. The wise teacher makes use of new found knowledge. There should be useful variety and the teacher should see that each seat work exercise has a purpose. Each teacher must plan her own work. From her remarks and great supply of excellent material, it is evident that the pupils of Miss Hume’s room are making progress and are much inter- ested in their studies. Mr. Wright, LP. 8., complimented Miss Hume on her paper, the ground covered and the ekcellent ideas given to the teachers. Miss K. Bergin, of the Continuation School, Aymn, took up the subject “The Teacher and Her Wor .” Miss _Bergin’s address was well given and |was listened to with rapt attention. lShe says we are members of the most 'responsible, the least advertised, the [worst paid, and the most richly re- 55th ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT FLESHERTON Kaye your chimneys, furnace and stove pipbs, and cisterns cleaned and over- hauled.

Good teachers everywhere must recognize the responsibility of the teaching pro- tession. We are responsible for the manners, morals, mental habits and to a great extent the characters of those entrusted to our charge. Happy is the teacher whose intellectual training, evenness of temper and firmness of bearing, directs the ~ laziest and most backward pupils up the steep slopes of Parnassus, without aparent effort. Good teachers love their subject and instil in pupils knowledge for its own sake. Knowledge is a passport to a fuller and richer life, which needs not the wear and tear of existence to make it a joy. Miss Bergin thinks that one of the greatest secrets of success is perseverance in overcoming one’s own difficulties. She thinks upgraded schools are better developers than are the larger graded schools. In upgraded schools the teacher has many classes; much of the time pupils work along on their own initiative and no not receive too much ready help. En- courage healthful recreation and the reading of the daily papers and of good magazines for genetral inform- ation. Interest pupils in the reading of good books for knowledge and to enrich the mind. The love of music and of nature itself has a broadening influence Teachers of all people should be the last to grow old in thought and action with increasing years. Mr. Graham complimented Miss Bergin on her ex- cellent address and said he was sorry the Normal masters were not present, for he was sure they might learn more if they heard the excellent paper just given. Mr. Wm. Ramage, of Durham, who has always shown a keen interest in the Teachers’ Convention, and who for 54 years has been a leader of singing, pleased the teachers with a well-rend- ered solo “The March of the Cameron Men.” Mr. Ramage led the teachers in community singing “Annie Laurie.” Mr. Wright expressed thanks to Mr. Ramage for his part in making the convention a success. Miss Islay W. McKechnie, of S. S. No. 3, Artemesia, spoke on the subject “Agriculture in the Rural School.” She thinks agriculture should be taught in all schools, for it may be correlated with nature study, composition, art and geOgraphy. Work is renumerated by grants and by co-operation you develop in boys and girls. Miss McKechnie advocated the collection of pictures, literature, weeds and seeds, as an aid in the study of agriculture. These may be included in the pupils’ notebooks. The meeting of the Women Teach- ers’ Federation was held at this time. Miss E. M. Weinert and Mr. E A. Ruttle, delegates to the O.E.A. were unable to attend those meetings, so were unable to present reports. Mr. A. E. Wells, principal of Neustadt Pub- lic School, spoke on the subject “Pro- ducts and Processes in Geography for Senior Form.” Mr. Wells gave a list of products and told where each is found in the British Empire. Because information gained by the eye remains longer with the child, he thinks that every teacher should obtain a supply of of products to be used at school. He gave concisely the history of paper, rubber, asbestos, corn, cocoa and spices. The teachers felt they were indebted to Mr. Wells for the useful information. Mr. W. F. Shackleton of Priceville P5. in his free and easy manner show- ed his supply of products. These were numerous and interesting. Mr. Shack- leton gave to the teachers the addresses from which much useful information and samples of products may be ob- This brought the sessions on Friday to a close. Friday morning’s session opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. Mr. Wolstencroft of the Baptist Church. He urged the teachers not to belittle their work. Mr. J. A. Magee, principal of Hanover P. S. spoke highly of the outstanding qualities of a former tea- cher, and said it was with deepest sorrow that we mourn the loss of a leading light of the old-time conven- tions, Mr. Thos.

Graham. when he presented in a masterly man- :ner the topic “English Grammar in the Elementary Schools.” Mr. Noble dealt iwith the high lights of the theory used 3in teaching grammar. In the 19th {century grammar was called the art (of speaking and writing correctly. iGrammar draws heavily upon the reas- {oning power of the child, and should [be started in the fourth book class.

She said the major principle is paying special at- tention to daily drill, to enable the pu- pils to use number facts with accuracy, ease, confidence and rapidity. For daily drill appeal through seeing, hearing and doing. The subject was well pres- ented by both teachers, many devices were given and shown. The women teachers had a few min- utes intermission while the men held their Federation meeting. Miss Dorothy P. Fisher, of Ceylon P. 8. explained her system of teaching art in a rural school. Let the teaching of art lead to a love for art. Every child will not become an artist, but every child should become a lover of art or that which is beautiful. Relate art to everyday work and everyday life; that its influence may be seen and felt in the home. Study patters in the designs of wall paper, linoleums, book covers, mats, etc. Utilize all special occasions. Miss Fisher’s work shows she is certame an artist of a various devices and pictures which may .be used to an advantage The teach- er must study -the child md' his ex- Miss H. Thompson, of Hanover P5,, Opened the session on Friday after- noon with an address on “Devices in History.” Whether history becomes a drudgery or a delight depends on the teacher. In order to be a successful history teacher, one must read widely, thing seriously, obtain the best mater- ial, use imagination and have the les- sons well prepared. Correlate history with literature, music, geography and composition. Scrap books are helpful. Use the may in every lesson on history. Miss Thompson drew attention to two books “Class Room History" and “Little Dramas of History.” We must make history real to be interesting. It was an excellent topic and so well pres- ented by Miss Thompson. high type. The samples of art dene by her pupils are much above the general average. Mr. F. 0. Moon, of S. S. No. 2, Ben- tinck, took for his topic “School Games.” Mr. Moon has a pleasing man- ner and is full of wit and humor. When arranging games consider the age ability, physique of children, size of grounds, season and desires of the child. Explain the rules of the game and then enforce same. Settle disputes quickly. The teacher should keep play- ing and keep young. Let the children play for the love of it. The point of value is lost if pupils play only for winning. Inter 30th games unite the sections of the countryside. .4»... the can-bu (Ohio) Dina-uh. FAIR ENOUGH TO BOTH ented the resolutions whtch media- cussed end adopted.
