He briefly stated that the proposed course of study was the main theme at, the convention and would be the main one at ours. At this stage several of the citizens of Durham, Rev. \Vray Smith being the first Called upon, gave some very practical hints in reference to teach- ing. Teachers should first find out what pupils Kxow. and build on that. His illustrations to prove his point Were apt and. to the point. Greater attention should be paid to the spirit- ual welfare as we all have a share in the complete development of the boys and girls of our land. The twenty-sixth Annual meeting of the South Grey Teachers was held in the Durham Model and Public schools on the 12th and 13th of Oc- tober, Mr. James Coleridge presiding.

On the conclusion of his ad- dress, it was moved by Mr. Baker. and seconded by .‘sll‘. Dixon that the address be printed in the local papers. ‘vII‘. Sharp.

As much as possible they should be such as to show the pupils the practical benefits to be derived from School Scudies Messrs. Blake- ston. Allan. N. \V. Campbell and Rev. Ryan took part in the discus- Sion. Mr. Dixon’s subject was “Teachers Encouragemeuts and Discourage- mentsr” Bis paper was a very racy one, wit and humor being frequently displayed. Low salaries, crowding each other out, etc, were some of the causes of discouragements while re- spect by parents and pupils were enccuragements. etc. Miss Profeit gave an excellent paper “ Teachers ReSponsihilities. ” he must know‘himselfJnust possess good Self-control cheerfulness. sympathy.

Farquharson gave an ex- cellent paper on the Imagination. He firs: criticized severely some of Baldwin’s Psychologv, and then dealt with Constructive Imagination showing how necessary it is in all subjects. Teachers who can not get. pupils to draw on their imagination. or who neglect its culture. must prove to be failures. He emphasized the importance of all not being the cause of others having a Perfected Imagination and gave apt illustra- tions, showing how frequently a. mock modeSty in the .us’e of words may cause others to imagine wrong things. All good teaching is the ac- :ive useef the imagination, all bad teaching is the preverted use of the same. EVENING ENTERTAINMENT.

CONNOR Mr. ‘Forbes is a nervous man, and it is not surprising that when Mrs. Forbes told him the cow had got out of the front gate, he was so startled and annoyed I that he made some disjointed allusions 1 to the scene of General Newton’s dyna- mite explosions. When he went out the cow was standing very quietly in the street just in front of the gate, chewing her cud, best navy, and looking as though she were trying to think of some- thing mean to say. Mr. Forbes got around in front of her, raised both his hands above his head, and, extending his 3 arms, waved them slowly up and down, i at the same time ejaculating, “Shoo! shoe, there, I say! Shoe!” The cow turned her cud over to the other side, and gazed at the apparition in some astonishment, and then beg an to back away and manoeuvre to get around it. It is a remarkable fact, which we have never heard Prof. Huxley explain, that a cow is perfectly willing to go in any 3 direction save the one in which you 3 attempt to drive her. When the cow be- gan to back, Mr. Forbes slowed up his . arms and assumed a more coaxing tone. . When the cow started to make a flank - movement off to the right, Mr. Forbes ; kept in front of her by sidling across in 1 the same direction, at the same time raising his voice and accelerating the ' movement of his arms. When the cow made several cautious diversions and reconnaissances this way and that, Mr. Forbes was compelled to keep up a kind of Chinese cotillon, dancing to and fro across the road. keeping time with his shuiliing feet and waving hands, and the 1 children on their way to school gathered [ in little groups on the sidewalk and ' viewed the spectacle "ith great interest, j alternately cheering the cow and encour- aging Mr. b‘orhc s, as one side or the 3 other would gain a little advantage. When the cow would nude: :1 short, dete mined rush, causing Mr. Forbes . to scuttle. across the. street, in a perfect whirlwind of dust 11.1111 sticks and a. rattl- ; ing volley 11 “iIi! hoe-3'! shoe, there! ‘ hoe-3'!" the enthusiasm of the audience 7 was unbounded. Once, Mr. Forbes got. the cow fairly corneas-11d and he 111.011 her - right into the gate. but just as the gray ' light of victory fell upon his uplifted face, 31111:.11'11111115 and the hired girl ' came charging out in mud pursuit of a. . “(36112 111' geese that had taken advantage of the open gate to 11111111 in and have a.

' ~Aâ€"â€" -.'._-__..V _A A Strange Dream. As I rode along in one of the sub- urban tram cars I passed a cottage wherein a strange thing happened awhile ago. Near by lived an old man who had received many kindnesses from the true hearted mistress of the cottage, who took compassion upon his necessity. Early one morning this lady wbke in great afiright. She had (ironin- cd that the old man was calling her in frantic haste to come and help him. She looked at the clock and noted the time. It was 4:30. Later on the life- less body of the old man was found in a well. The medical opinion was that it must have got into the water at about 4:30 that morning. That was their independent testimony before they had been told of the curious ex- perience of the woman. The distance at the well from the house made it impossible that she could have heard the old man cry, if he really did cry. How, then, can one explain the inci- dent? I might relate other facts simi- lar in their nature, all showing that there is in the ' world ,more mystery than we have yet comprehendedâ€"Lon- don Standard.
