The Mail all last week was endeavorâ€" {ng to persuade the farmers thiat a proâ€" tective taciff was a great benefit to thewm, and yet the Dominion Gruange on Friday passed this resolution:â€" "That the tariff of our Dominion be reâ€" duced to a revenue basis, and that we disapprove of bouusing any industry at the expeuse of the country." The Mail bad better try something easier, showing how protectioun has retarded our growth of populatios, for iustance. The Outario Legislature which met last Toursday is unique in having three distinet parties, Liberals, Conservatives and Patrous, ~‘The World gives the Government 52, the Conservatives 26 and the Patrons 14, with West Welâ€" lington and Haldimund "vacant, the Patron wembers having been unsested, The late Mr. Fraser, Mr. Meredith, Mc. Eall»ntyne and Mr, Wood wili be the chief~ figures missing from the new House. An exchange thus contrasts the bright promises made for the N. P. in 1878 and the fulfilment of the proâ€" mises : «> Had the population of Canada inâ€" creased in the same ratio during the protection decade that it increased durâ€" ing the revenue tariff decade it would have been 5,103,275 in 1891 instead of 4833,230. Yet it was in the decade of 1891 that money was borrowed and poured out like water by the National Policy government in order to develop and populate the country. Sir John Macdonald promised that the populaâ€" tion of Manitoba and the Nortwest Territories would be 1,000,000 in 1891 as in outcome of pretection ; it was 251,473. Sir Charles Tupper promisâ€" ed that the Canadian Northâ€"West would by 1890 produce 640,000,000 bushels of wheat ; in 1894 it produced about 18,000,000 bushels. Sir Leonard Tilley said that the sa‘le of lands in the Canadian Northâ€"West would reduce the public debt $100,000,000 by 1890 or 1891. The net public debt of Canada has been increased from $142,000,000 in 1878 to $241,681,039 in 1893, or by over $100,000,000, showing a Ceficet in Sir Leonard Tilley‘s estimate of the financial effects of protection of $200,â€" 000,000. _ Canada should get on the solid ground of revenue t«riff. Protecâ€" tion has been & grand failure. (Globe report.) Col. O‘Brien went on to tell how in 1878 he had been a strong supporter of the National Policy,chiefly because he believed it would check the exodus of that time,lead to increased im migration and give the farmers a howme market, which he agreed with the Minâ€" isters in saying was the best of all marâ€" kets. lIn 1878 it was hoped also that many manufacture suitable to the country would be establhshed. Always, however, in arguing for the protective *system he had done so on the underâ€" standing that if combinations of manuâ€" facturers should use this incidental proâ€" tection to prevent free competition tha protection should be withdrawn. There was no moral benefit from proteciion, and it was never intended that it shoula be permanent. _ Now the Ministry proâ€" posed that it should be continued, alâ€" though the manufacturers had violated the conditions on which protection was granted, ana there was now scarcely any industry in the country that was not controlled by trusts and combines. Of the census and its results Col. O‘Brien spoke as giving an answer to the claims of the N. P, There was nothing that the speaker and his fellowâ€"Tories of those days where so fond of throwing .n the teeth of Alexander Mackenzie and Sir Richard Cartwright as the exâ€" odus ungder comparative free trade. For a time after the adoption of protective system the country was prosperous, beâ€" cause millions of capital were being Col. O Brien on the Effects of Protection. j In the McCarthy mecting at Peterâ€" borough Col, O‘Brien gave & succinet review of the reason why he was now opposing the protective tariff. _ He said in effect:â€" _ PROMISE & FULFILMENT spent, and the Government was going |â€"and as & rule giv on with sail all set and sflovingm form of requests.

The meering was opened by the Rev. Mr. Scoiut of Berlin, whoâ€" read a short pasâ€"aye of Scripture and led in prayer, The minutes of the preceding meetâ€" ing were read and adopted, after which the followiug committees were apâ€" pointed : P a w ME LCC Pss i nanoas Nouxating ComutrrEs.â€" Mesgre, Lintou, Grou, Berry, Ballaatyne aud Houston Prockamis â€" CormutttEr â€" Messrs.

Grob, Hurst, Bickie, Cork and Reid. _ As thne essay on the subjact, read by Mr. Weiâ€" denhammer of Waterloo, appears on another page of this paper, we need make nu further commeuts on it in this place. s _ Acprrors.â€" Messrs,. Brown Hil“)ur‘ll EO CT After the reading of the essay, Prof. Zoelluer, music teacher of the Berlin Public Schouls, gave & short exhibition with a class of girls, and the readiness with which the class recognized and sang the different symbol!s presented to thein reflect great credit on the thorâ€" oughnees of the professor‘s teaching, There can be no doubt but that & sysâ€" tem of noteâ€"singing, thoroughly taught, will be of great value in afterâ€"life. The first hour of the afternoon sesâ€" sion was devoted to general business. Mr Cox of H«milton, who represented Funk & Wagn«lls Publishing Co., spoke for a short time on the merits of the new Standard Dictionary. Mr. Linton then introduced the subâ€" ject, "The Formation of Habitsâ€"punceâ€" tuality, obedience, neatness, conduct on the way to and from School, etc." In opening the sabject, Mr. Linton said that there are duties devolving upon the teacher that are more important than the training of the mental tacultâ€" ies. These duties are the formation of good habits, _A habit formed in childâ€" bood is likely to cling to.a person through life, and it is therefora of the utmost impor ance that such a habit be a good one. Set a high ideal before the pupils and their ideal will also be high,. Always remember that you are training them to be citizens, Their minds are in a plastic condition and are easily bent for rignt or for wrong. Irregularity of attendance. _ The evils of this schoolâ€"rcom curse are not confined to those who attend irregularâ€" ly, but the whole class suffers. Teach, ers have a partial remedy in their hands. If they make such a thorough preparation of their work as to present subjects with variety and freshness, so that the child feels it will ‘lose someâ€" thing that it cannot afford to lose, the evil will be greatly lessened. Parents also can assist, by encouraging their children to attend more regularly and by not giving way to them for every excuse, however trivial. Teachers should also endeavor to be thorough. Make haste slowly and be thorough, should be their motto. A child will always be more interested in his lessons if he has grasped that which he has gone over in school. Punctuality is of a twoâ€"fold nature. Some children are late in the morning, or late at noon, while others are always late when their class is cailed upon, i. e, they are always slow in obeying commands,. The cure rests entirely with the teacher. ()bedience is also of a two fold natâ€" ure, viz., Loyal or spontaneous obediâ€" ence and forced obedience. The former should obtain in every wellâ€"regulated school and household, To secure it, the teacher should have a few wellâ€"unâ€" derstood rules which should be strictly followed out. Let rules be as few as possible, let them be just, and, above all, let them when once made, be strictâ€" ly adbered to. â€" _ Teachers should be impartial, reasonâ€" able in their demands, judicious . in seating their pupils, and should never encourage taleâ€"bearing. A pleasant, genial manner is often of greater advanâ€" tage than great intellectual abilities. Good manners spring from goodness of heart. Habits of neatness should alsy be inâ€" culcated at school. These habits will be of value all through life. © _ \~~ Mr. Houston of Hawksville was next calied upon. Punctuality and promptness, he thought, depended enâ€" tirely on the teacher. Good habits lead to success.‘ We should teach obeâ€" dience to duty. (Teach & child to do right because it is right. For this purpose we must study child nature, and as a rule give our commands in the form of requests. | We should also enoém‘q;e habits of neatness, and systematic and orderly arrangement of all schoolâ€"work, t of all schoolâ€"work, G ns hk sho Inbard 16.

Your exâ€" wwple, your personal appearance aund your personal habits are of much greatâ€" er importance than any set rules could be. Couduct aud sction are always c ntagious, and it is, therefore, of vital importance that the teachers of our children be men aud women whose conâ€" duct and exawple will exercise an eleâ€" vating infAuence on the rising generaâ€" tiou. The subject of "Physiology in our Rural Schools" was then takeu up by Mr. J. G. Hurst of Conestogo, Mr. Hurst handled the subject in & very able manuer sod outlined a series of lessons for the year. ‘These lessons should be varied from time to time, s0o as not to become moonotonous. The »tudy of the human body and how to tuke care of it is of great importance to bumanity at large, and the subject taught in the way indicated by Mr. Hurst, cannot help _ being benefiâ€" cial, not only to the children of rural schouls but to the community at large, _ Mr. A. W. Hilborn and Mr. Cork also spoke highly in favor of the teachâ€" ing of this very important subject. *The proceedings were varied at this point by a double quartette cousisting of the following ladies and geutlemen : Misses Ziegler, Anthes, Bean, Mrs. Martin, arnd Messrs. Groh, Wegenast, Beaendle and Weidenhammer. The four ladies sang & quartette a little later on, and it is needlees to say anyâ€" thing in their favor. ‘To enjoy the rich, melodious harmony of their voices you must simply hear them. It is to be hoped that the Executive Commitâ€" tee will act on the suggestion given by several members of the Association that in the future all programmes be varied in this pleasant manner. Fripay ForExooxr â€"During the hour for general business the nominating committee reported that they had deâ€" cided on the following ladies and genâ€" tlemen to be the ofticers of the Associâ€" ation for the ensuing year:â€"President, J,.

In order to bring all members of the Association within reach of the regulaâ€" tion making provision for the attendâ€" ance of rural school teachers at the O. E. Association, it was moved in amendâ€" ment to the report of the committee by Mr, Weidenhammer, seconded by Mr. Mr. Pearce, that all members of the Association be appointed delegates to the 0. E. Association at their own exâ€" pense, and that Messrs. Linton and Fraser be appointed officially and be requested to prepared a report of the proceedings to be given at the next meeting of the Association, The reâ€" port, as amended, was then adopted. Moved by Mr. Ballantyne, seconded by ‘Mr. Berry, that the salary of the Secyâ€" Treasurer be increased from $40 to $60.â€"Carried. ~ Mr. Suddaby now took up the snb-‘ ject, "The Derivation of Principles from Mental Laws." By means of inâ€". ternal feelings we become aware of exâ€" ternal objects. Sensations acting on the mind enable us to form intelligent percepts. When one idea has the powâ€" er of calling up the others, it is called the association of ideas. «Whatever the mind has once dooe, it will do more easily the next time. The products of sensation, perception and imagination can be represented. Percepts always make an effect on your mind or make an impression. By means of that efâ€" fect we are enabled to make the repreâ€" sentation. This power is called "retenâ€" tion", and memory dépends on retenâ€" tion, association, and the frequency of representation. Retention also depends on a good stock of nerve euergy,. The greatest tlow of nerve energy take place about one hour after the first meal, the second about the same time after the second meal. The teacher must make use of this fact in the arrangement of his timeâ€"table. Retention also depends upon attention and repetition of presenâ€" tation. Attention is caused by a feelâ€" inguhi pleasure or pain and by an act of will, and & feeling of desire causes the act of will. If the will has anything to do with attention, it is voluntary attention ; if it bas not, it is nonâ€"voluntary attenâ€" tion. Will brings about the introducâ€" tion of the subject and its inherent charms produce attention. nonâ€"voluntary attention are inherent charms, con: novelty in opposition to what is weli known, intensity, intelâ€" lectual movement and the disco of identity in the midet of divoriityv."';on can excite all these by illustrating les If you are thinking of buying Furniture make no mistake and do not miss examining the largest and best assorted stock in the county.

EKINGBT., BERLIN, ONT. Mr. Suddaby showed that he has thoroughly mastered the subject, and succeeded in holding the attention of his large audience throughout his disâ€" course. Fripay ArtErxooxr.â€"The Auditors reported that they had examined the Secyâ€"Treasurer‘s books and had found the accounts correct in every respect. They found m balance on hand of $77.40. It was decided that the next meetâ€" ing of the Association was to be held on the 10th and 11th of October, 1895. Mr, W. R, Plum of New Hamburg spoke on "The Schools of twentyâ€"five years ago and the Schools of toâ€"day." Mr. Plum thinks that we bave reason to congratulate ourselves on the adâ€" vance we have made. Education toâ€" day is within the reach of eyery one. The old log schoolhouse has given way to structures which are a credit to every community. All are to be eduâ€" cated and it is the nation at large which will be ‘benefited by this. The first necessity for this state of affairs will be good teachers, and these we also have. The teacher of twentyâ€"five years ago cannot compare with the teacher of toâ€" day, as regards qualifications and methâ€" ods of ‘instruction. Then, everyone carried out his own method. Toâ€"day we have uniformity in methods to a great extent. Kindness also prevails instead of the severity of old. He paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the inspectors of toâ€"day. He also enâ€" couraged teachers to take a more active part in the great social questions of the day in order to procure for themselves & more important stand in society. Messrs, Bryant, Wray and Martinâ€" son then illustrated their method of teaching Geography, the first taking up & county, the second a country, and the third a continent. The three genâ€" tlemen are to be congratulated on their first appearance before the Association. UNDERTAKLN GC. FURNITURE. , 1895â€"Page 4. The SIMPSON C0., (Ltd.,) Furniture Manufacturers, As there are men who have always depended on others for their means of existence, so there are also minds which have lost all desire to solve for themselves difficulties which are preâ€" sented to them. The principal eviâ€" dence for this is a want of originality and a lack of imagination. Teachers in too many instances are mere,imitatâ€" ors. All classes are infecte! with this. ual parasites, and of the latter Mr. Sheppard spoke at length. Children are eager for activity, but something breeds the parasitic babit. Textâ€"books are partly responsible for this, The textâ€"books in mathematics should have no answers in connection with them. Where does this habit begin? In the early development whizh is the reâ€" sult of free choice, in the temptation to secure safety without personal effort, in the disposition to obtain food by the organs whose duty it is to get, assimiâ€" late, and digest it. Hall, to the retiring officers and to those who mesisted in the carrying out of the programme, the proceedin@gs were closed with prayer by the Rev. Mr.; Boott of Berlin, This is truer of the mind than of the body. Any change of condition which makes safety and food more easily obâ€" tainable leads to degeneracy. Applyâ€" ing this mentally, it reads : Any meth od of instruction which facilitates the obtaining of knowledge at the expense of the child‘s natural abilities leads to mental degeneracy. Mental degeneracy is caused by the teacher attempting to make things too easy and by misunderstanding the unâ€" derlying principles of skilful instrucâ€" tion, as for example, "Proceed from the concrete to the abstract." This may be all right in some subjects, but it certainly does not mean that you should follow it out in all subjects and in all classes. You must grade your work so that your children are always climbing up and not slipping down. Let there be & small hillock before the class which will allow for individuality. As it is impossible to do justice to the excellent paper read by Mr. Shepâ€" After the usual votes of thanks to the Town Council for the use of the pard, in attempting to summarize it, it was moved by Mr, Linton, seconded by Mr. Weidenhammer, that the paper be published in full in the Educational FANCY ROCKERS, ETC., ETC \I DON‘T VY During the past week we have reccived _ large shipments of SPRING.
