SOUTH Grey TEACHERS. IT RAINS OF COUKSE, SsUT Thursday and Friday of last week the Teachers of 8. Grey met in Convention for the first time since May 1897, and Durham was the favored spot on this Thursday was rather a promising day and in consequence Teachers were enâ€" couraged to start out, and sure enough from the big Inspectorate they turned out in such numbers that all records in attendance have been exceeded, no fewâ€" er than 90 out of 115 teachers being presâ€" ent. South Grey as an Inspectoral division consists of the townships of Normanby, Bentinck, Egremont, Glenelg, Proton, Artemesia and Osprey,the town of Durâ€" ham and villages of Markdale and Dun dalk. In addition to regulating this large field Inspector Campbell has also the town of Meaford under his care, and A ROUSING MEETING. it speaks volumes for the professional inspiration be arouses that so many, inclwling a majority of ladies, are found willing to face disagreeable roads, and unvcertain weather at their own expense to take part in their *Teachers‘ Parliaâ€" ment." Exâ€"Pres,. W. D. Mills has the satisfacâ€" tion of having presided ovyer the largest meeting ever held in 8. Grey, and the Convention in Markdale chose wiscly when they selected that gentleman to fill its highest position. In its new President it is equally fortunate, for in Mr. J. W. Brown of Hanover, it has an educationist of no mean standing, and one who will do his utmost to maintain the importance of 8, Grey Teachers‘ Asâ€" sociation. For the first time the Association goes further West than Durham for a place of meeting, and next year for the first time in its history, Hanover will be favored with a meeting of this body. Mr. T. Allan is again Secy.â€"Treas., Miss Bull is Viceâ€"Pres., Mr. Mills is deleâ€" gate to the Ontario Educational Associaâ€", tion, while the Executive commitie consists of Messrs,. Rowe, Bl;u-kstncy. The forenoon Session of Thursday was taken up by the reading of the minutes, the President‘s Address, and the report of the Delegate (Mr. W. J. Sharp) to the Provincial Teachers‘ Association. _ It is a pity these two last features could not be kept till the afternoon session when the bulk of the teachers are there. â€" This was the practice at one rime and the executive would do well to adopt it aâ€" President Mills welcomed the teachers to Durham, and spoke of the gratifying live spirit which animated the teachers of the county, springing largely from a devotion to duty on their own part, as well as from the influence of Inspector Campbell in being in touch with the progressive spirit of the times, _ He hoped the work of the session would be entered upon with earnestness, and prove profitable to all. Delegate Sharp‘s report of the meetâ€" ing of the 0. E. Association was very fuall and showed carefal collating of the matters of interest to the profession he had heard discussed there. P‘rin. Brethour of the Mt. Forest High School was present in the afternoon and rendered good service by his paper on composition. A fine discussion followed, He deprecated the use of text books on the subject in the class room, urged that pupil« be led to the reading and study of â€" standard _ authors, as a â€" means of improving their composition as the pupil who did most careful reading of good authors would excel in composiâ€" tion, _ Mr. Rowe and others disapproved of the practice of putting mistakes on the board for criticism, but Mr. Brethâ€" pur thought well of it. Blakeston, Dioxn, Slaughter, Blackstock, Graham and others entered into the discussion. Mr, Slaughter, Principal of Flesherâ€" ton School gave a yaluable paper on Geography. _ He is a ready talker, and full of the espritt ducorps which makey a successful teacher. Taking the subject in two divisions.â€"Physical and Politicâ€" alâ€"he would begin with the former in the primary classes, It was a valuable aid to the traming of imagination and observation. He gave an exhaustive analysis of the method he employed. and and as we may have the pleasure of reâ€" producing the whole or part of it in the ~Rxrxview further notice is unnecessary. Mr. McNicol, on "UCertificates and Salâ€" aries" made an effort to show that by a_ scheme advocated by himself, a Normal College graduate in South Bruce ind some one else in Algoma, the salarâ€" es of teachers, and their standing might e improved. It was this ;Jafter 3 years weessfal teaching, the teacher is to reâ€" ive a Aurther extension of two years ; 11 suecessful, he was to get a life cerâ€" cate, .South Bruce and Algoma is still rear from, but we fear this wholesale lition .of higher examinations to edy an alleged defective " 3rd years hing" is yet a long way in the to L I;edinglnm made his first appearâ€" rith an excellent paper on "Inâ€" 1 Meral Teaching." He pointed danger that teachers, having to s so amnuch technical learning rget or overlook the importance h it has a fearless advocate of religious influence. | The difference | in homes and neighborhcods inade special work necessary. * Every bouy was a kinwer his own nature, thereâ€" fore we should enable him to rule it wisely." He deplored the moral h‘sxity l wisely." Hedeplored itnc mort! "/>""J observable among our own people as witnessed in Sunday St. Cars, Owen Sd. Wharves, and at St. Clair Tunnel. He gave some concrete incidents from his own experience illmtntini incidental moral teaching â€" It was a clever useful Mr. Irvine, our lpreoent Model 3CNVUl Assistant, not only took an active part in the discussions but gave a splendid paper on the almost tt:_renf‘"mhre subject hy ho "ap e EuLo Iumnemaream A% | Snd se Prvtydiicicem Auaun sn o Thar ABPRL 1 P of "History". In his hands however it ‘ received new importance, _ *‘ Ignorance of history was often a cause of trouble ‘ between nations, we should be as ready to speak of our country‘s defects as of its glories," " hetter for a country to live a good citizen‘s life than die for it, exce‘)t in a few heroic cases." It was bristling with fine thoughts. The teachershould 1â€"Know the subject from muw authors 2â€"Have selective ability. 3â€"Have a_ knowledge of Political Science 4â€"Be a good story teller 5â€" Visit a few places of historical importâ€" ance, and some knowledge of Archaeâ€" ology would be decidedly useful. It was an elaborate paper, enthusiastically giyen, and bristled with practical hints ‘. of great value to the young teacher. Mr. Burgess, from Owen Souand Colâ€" legiate Institute, has once more laid 8. Grey Teachers under an obligation for the active part he took at this meeting. He gaye a practical address on Analysis which evoked great interest. He comâ€" })luincd of poor work in this subject at ast summer‘s examinations, scarcely a paper being in right form, which, Mr. Blakeston naively remarked " was a reflection on the High School teachers "! When teachers and examiners agree On what is a right form, we would be happy to publish it. It was well disâ€" cussed and Mr. B. showed himself at home in the subject. His address on Civies was a more elaborave affair of great excellence and the Association has requested its publiâ€" cation. _ In it he commended interest in the country and her peaceful developâ€" ment, recommending the instilling into pupils the desire for good government from town and township up. â€" Pupils should have an intimate knowledge of our institutions and the duties of muniâ€" cipal officers, &e, Love of _country could be stimulated by patriotic poems which haye moulded the history of nations. True patriotism would make men rise above the party spirlt. He recommended reading Dr, Bourmot‘s "How we are governed," G. D. Robert‘s History of Canada, lately published, The interest was well maintamed at every session and in addition to the two editors, both old members of the fraterâ€" nity, there were present Drs. McLheay and Burd, Messrs. Grant and MceArthur, Rev, Mr. Kitching and some others both ladies and gentlemen. The fine weathor we have had all fall has been reserved for the last week or two and now we are having rain and mad ‘galore‘ but na snow yet so far only a slight ski@ which was hardly noticable a few days ago. _A lot of ploughing has been done and a lot to do yet. _ People are beginging to take up their turnips which ia geueral is a good crop. _ Threshâ€" ing is about done with the exception of an odd barn bere aud there which will probâ€" ably finish in a week or teu days, t Mr. John McArthur who hss had & gevere attack of sickuess from cold is now able to attend to bis various duties and basiness in life. * The Sacrament of the Lord‘s Supper was observed in the Presbyterian churchi oa Sabbath last. Revy. Campbell o‘ D:romore preached on Friday aud the pastor® Rev. Mr. Matheson officiated. On Suuday, eleven new members were added to the church. The Rev, Mr. Strachan agent for the Bible and Tract Society lecturel on Friday evening. On accountof the very inclement weather the gathering was not so large as it would be otherwise had the weather been fair. Mr. Strachan is a good lectarer.

Mr. Sidney Blakestone is home for the last few weeks and probably will resume farming on his own farm old Dorham road Artemesia, next spring.
