Mr. W.E. Babb, of Linwood, read a very interesting paper on "Methods to Guard Agsinst Tardiness." Teachers should guard against this bad habit in themselves. They should try to conâ€" vince themselves of the true cause of it in their pupils before attempting to apply a remedy. _ Schcol exercises should be made interesting, especially the opening exercises. Parents are of ten more to blame for the lateness of their children than the children themâ€" selves, and should be spoken to about it, but in & cautious way. The teacher sbould convince them of the deep interâ€" est be or she has in their child. Mis Gertrudo Draper taught a reading lesson to a janior II class, She illustrated her method of getting from the pupils the new word= contained in the lesson by a series of judiciouns quesâ€" tions. These were then placed on the board and taught before the reading was proceeded with. Miss Draper was highly complimented on her skilful way of handling her class and her lesson. Promotion Exam.

Mr. T. G. Baker of Elmirs, read a very interesting paper on Physiography. This term implies a new phase of physical geography. Mr. B«ker exâ€" plained very fully and clearly how to teach children such natural phenomena as the shape of the earth, winds and tides, subjects which are generally inâ€" comprehensible unless well taught by a skilfal teacher. Mr. Thomas Hilliard, P.S. Inspector of the town of Waterloo, gave a good addréess on "Mathematical Geography " He thought this branch of Geography was often neglected,owing to the promâ€" inence given to the other two branches, political and physical geography. Candidates _ at . the _ professional examination â€" for third class cerâ€" tificates often© display a lamentable ignoraunce in this subject when asked to teach any part of it Mr. Hilliard illustrated his method of teaching the subject by the use of globss and diaâ€" grams drawn on the the board. Messrs. Suddaby, Wray, Shier and the President took part in the discusâ€" sion. Mr. Hall, the President, then gave his address on "The Objact of Educaâ€" tion." The object of education, he said, is to make men and women and fib them for the duties of life. Many features of school life are objectionable. Teachers are judged by parents and trustees according to the number of candidates they pass at the examinaâ€" tions. _ Children â€" are _ made maâ€" chines of, In true education we should keep in _ view _ the _ folâ€" lowing points : (1) The natural bent, (2) The personal proâ€"disposition, and (3) The‘ probable profession the pupil may follow. Mr. Hall closed with an eloquent plea for a better recâ€" ognition of the teacher‘s rights of citi zenship. Rev. J. McNair, of Waterloo, being present the President called on him for & short address. Hedeplored tha fact that cur education has become so pureâ€" wWATERLOO COUNTY TEACHERS‘ ASSOCIATICN. Miss Peene, of Galt, sugg:sted that the Kindergarten teachers form a secâ€" tion of their own for the purpose of disâ€" cussing subjects bearing on their branch of school work. Oa motion of Messrs. Saddaby and Linton the forenoon of each day was granted them for the purpose. Mesers. Pearce and Roid were reâ€"apâ€" pointed a committee to interview the O»unty Council in regard to granting Thursday as ons of the days for the Acsociation to meet. The 26th annual meeting of the Wa terloo County Teachers‘ Association was held in the Model school building, Berlin, on Friday and Saturday, May 20th aud 21st, 1898, with Mr. Z. A Hail, of Preston, in the chair. After the usual openiag ceremonies the President appointed the following committees :â€" Queston â€"Drawerâ€"Messre. Suddaby, Baker and Shortill.

With the aid of these blocks the most difficult problem can be made clear to the pupils. Mr. Falconer, of Galt, gave a&a most interesting address on "The Teacher as a Citizen‘ He said as a rule teachers are not recognized socially or politicalâ€". ly as members of other professions are. He cited cases to show that this always has been so. The reasons probably are: (1) The extreme dradgery of the work. (2) The innumerable petty annoyances to which a teacher is exâ€" posed. (3) Generelly there are too many bosses over him. (4) The opinâ€" fons of pupils of their teacher never leave them in after life. (5) The un fortunate fact of the poverty of teachâ€" ers. _ He thought teachers should not shut themselves outb from society, but should mingle freely with people. They should not be amodern Diogenes shut up in their little secluded tubs. Another reason for this lack of respect for the members of this profession is that few make it a lifeâ€"calling. People know that about nineâ€"tenths of those engaged in the work are using the profession only as a stepping stone to somesthing that pays better. Another deplorable coudition is the lack of honor amoung scoms memb:rs of the profession. Until teachers are true to themselves and true to one another people will not reâ€" spect them. _ He gave several examples of very dishonorable cconduct of some teachers in connection with positions that had not even become vacant, He also thought that teachers should take an active part in all live questions cf tho day, in their community. We are all true born Britons and ‘are accorded freeiom of speech by right of birth and by Act of Parliament and it is our right and privilege to exercise th‘s ‘ whenever duty demands it. The Auditor‘s report was presented by Mr. Haist and showed a balance of $12 67. Mr. Sbier read a very instructive address on Physiology. Methods in this or any subject should be subserâ€" vient to the aims you have in view. Difficulties should be pointed out, and the pupils should be led to overcome them by their own efforb. _ They should be taught to form intelligent habits of reading so that they can read and unâ€" derstand. Carefal preparation by the teacher is necessary. Mr. Shier gave aclear illustration of his method of teaching this subjsct. He advocated the plan of writing outb a sob of quesâ€" tions which touch every point describ ed in the lesson. These questions should be analytical and syntbetical, and should be given to the pupils to prepare the lesson with their aid. Teachers should not copy any method unless they first adapted it to their own menâ€" tal make up. Mr. Shier‘s method was considered very systematic and practicâ€" al. Messrs. Saddaby, Knowles, and the President took part in the. discussion and expressed their high appreciation of the excellent thoughts expressed in Mr. Shier‘s address. Mr. J.F. Carmichael read a very inâ€" toresting paper on "School Games, an Aid to Discipline." He favored active school games for both teachers and pupils. Under no consideration and for no purpose would he deprive a pupil of his alloted time for play. No place affords & better opportunity for the teacher,to study, to watch over and to elevate the moral tone of the pupils, than the playground. After the opening ceremonies on Satâ€" urday morning Mr. Ramsay, of Hespeâ€" ler, gave a very elaborate report of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Ontario Educational Association. On motion of Messrs. Falconer and Suddaâ€" by Mr. Ramsay received the thanks of the Association for his able report. ly secular. He thought thabt religions and secular instruction might go band in band without danger of conflicting This subject was discussed by Messrs. Linton, Suddaby, the President, Fraser and Roid.

Adamson, of Harâ€" ciston H. 8. ; Mr. Geo. Loggie, of Torâ€" onto ; Master Hamilton Veitch, of Hesplor, and Mr. W, Dobie, of Guelph. Mr.A. Weideohammer, of Waterloo, read a paper on "Our Public School Text Books,‘" and pointed out some of the most glaring defects in the readers, the arithmetic, grammar, geography and history. He showed that these books, but especially the arithmetbic, geography and history bave been conâ€" demned for years by somo of the best teachers in the province. He deplored the fact that independent effort on the part of teachers in regard to compiling books for school purposes was £quelched by circulars from the department, forâ€" bidding their use He thought all school books authorized for use in the public school should be compiled by a committee of teachers actively engaged in teaching. Messrs. Lizton, Ramsay, Weidenâ€" hammer, Know‘es aad Tye took part in the discussion and expressel their hearty sympathy with what the speakâ€" or had said. After the customery votes of thanks the meeting prorogued until May 1899. WINTERBOURNE. Mr. Gladstone‘s death was the occaâ€" sion for a tremendous outburst of pulpit oratory toâ€"day.

Then with a whip and spur James urged Maritana along, but Dalmoor was fuall of racing and although he only succeeded in getâ€" ting second money by half head, was easily the freshest of the two at finish. Bon Ino won by a length and a half, and although she has incurred a penalty for the Toronto cup she will be a imâ€" portant factor in the race for that event.

It does not lie in the painter‘s fancy to imagine a prettier picture than that of a young girl, with lips luscious with the promise of love, half parted in the smiles of happy dreamland. ‘The mind of happy maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror, which, when the wits go wandering into the ghostland of dreams, reflects the impresâ€" sions of waking hours. If those impresâ€" sions are pleasant and painless and happy, she will smile in her sleep. If the impresâ€" sions are those of a suffering woman, torâ€" tured with the special ailments to which the feminine organism is liable, the picture is spoiled by the lines of suffering and deâ€" spondency. Maladies of this nature unfit a woman for joyous maidenhood and for caâ€" pable motherhood. ‘They incapacitate her to bear the burdens of life in any sphere of action. Household, marital and social duties alike are a burden to the woman who is constantly suffering from headaches, backaches, dragging sensations and weakâ€" ening drains. Dr. Pierce‘s Favorite Preâ€" scription positively, completely, unfailâ€" ingly cures troubles of this nature. It imparts health, strength, vigor to the disâ€" tinctly womanly organs. It fits for careâ€" free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood and capable motherhood. __ ae "I have a little stepâ€"daughter who had St Vitus‘s Dance, which your medicine cured,‘ writes Mrs. T. F. Boze, of Ford, Dinwiddie Co. Va. "I spent about twenty dollars for doctor‘s bills and imedicine, and it did not do the child one cent‘s worth of good. We commenced giving Dr. Pieree‘s Favorite Prescription and ‘ Golden Medical Discovery‘ and used three bottles of each, which cost only six dollars.
