Mayor Bowlby gave an opening address, and was followed by Miss Hughes, in an address on HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS, in which she pointed out the benefits to be derived from adopting Domestic Science as one of the subjects in our g:bllo school system. Speaking of mes, she said they are not all they should be. _A family should live all over the house, and elpw in the pleasant roome. ‘These not be kclps for visitors, nor should the Erlar only be used when visitors are in the house. In building a house men should consult with the women so that it will be built to make thlnil convenient for her. Houses should have all the sunâ€" shipe it is possible to let into them, as sunshine tends to insure health. .Arâ€" rangements should be harmonious; clashing colors produce illâ€"temper. Furniture should be chosen with care A chair should be solid and cemfortâ€" able, with decoration a secondary conâ€" sideration. People in this age are too thrifty and do not come in contact enough with the soil necessitating work with the musole, which was accountâ€" able for the hsalth of the pioneers of our land.

There is a general movement toward organization on the lines of Honschold Economic Associations, of which the Women‘s Institutes in connecfion with the Farmers‘ Institutes, is only another type. Food is studied largely. The food of the mental worker should not be the same as that of the mechantc or outdoor work»r. Study of food will lessen melancLuliv and nervousness.

Leake followed in an adâ€" dress on Manual Training. ~He has for neaily a year been Director of the McDonald Manual Training Schools at (ttawa, and came from England where he was connected with Manual Trainâ€" ing for a number of years, having been a school teacher many years before taking up this special branch of eduâ€" cational work. He gave an excellent address, clearly outlining the work and* its great benefits. . He saw no reason to regret baving come to Canada. He noticed a difference in the educational systems in vogue and vhough in some respects be thought the English sysâ€" tem to be the better, he saw many things which would improve the school system of the mother land. He noticed that one and all ofthe teachers seem to try to find out the best way. to teach each individual scholar. .Mrs Hughes he said, had almost given in addrees on Manual Training. In teachâ€" ing it, wood has been found to be the best adapted to obtain the end in view. But only about 5 per cent of the pupils ever become carpenters. Electrical works in England employ many of the manual training pupils, preferring them because of their adaptability, exact catrying out of instructions and ability to read _ drawings, making them familiar with the work and to be implicitly trusted after three months where another boy would have to take a year to get familiar with it. ProfLeake, bowever, wished to make clear that Manual Training is not designed to shorten apprenticeâ€" ships, because this could not be done in the two hours a day which is deâ€" voted to this brirch of education.

HughesCharles, of Gait â€" Says Education Fais Because it is not Practicalâ€" Too Many Subjects on Curri= culum Causes Lack of Thor= oughness.. 5/ *A The Wedncsday afternoon m ‘: by Mr. ;mfl.:.w: un.nr‘\ . D. m ‘ T KA o E. t. r. T his remarks bW a neat compliiâ€" ment to the es and went right to the heart of his subject. He said: The better educated people are the better citizens they are. â€" The -{-mn of education began properly but the original idea bas been . lost. The system educatestoo much intel:ectually and not enough morally. It faile beâ€" eause it is not practical, otherwise there would be no business colleges. The education should be adapted to the surroundings and the country. Many of our resources are ruoning to waste and the teachers should direct the minds of the pupils to these reâ€" @urces. People should be producers, as miners, farmers, ‘gtc, instead of dependents on producers, as lawyers, doctors, etc. Many pupils get the idea that professfonal men are above mechanics. _ The system is not thorâ€" ough. There are too many subjects. The young Canadian falls short in spelling and composition. . There is too much arithmetic. There should be more teachers and more time devoted to the scholatre. History and English Literature should be well taught. Teachers in the lower forms should devote some time to morality. The scholars also lack manâ€" ners and this should be taught inâ€" cidentally. Physical training should be compulsory. Our higher education is too cheap, and the education reâ€" ceived is correspondingly cheap. He advocated one university and one deâ€" gree, and that degree a high one. A discussion followed, ably conducted by Messrs Linton, Baker and Alexander. It was thought that the remark passed by Hnghesâ€"Charles concerning the practicalâ€"side of education did not apply to the Public Schools but rather to the High Schools and therefore should not have been addressed to the teachers assembled. It was a‘so urged that the teachers did give moral inâ€" struction. All agreed there were too many subjects on the curriculum and therefore there was a lack of thoroughâ€" ness. â€" It w .s also agreed that the lack of manuers among school children was deplorable.. A hearty vote of thauks was tendered Mr. Hughesâ€"Charles who then an>~ czed the criticisme passed on his address. "INCULCATING INDEPENDENCE"â€" Essay, Miss MAaUpE KEENE She thouzht a person must first know that he knows a thing. _ Make a child act for bimself,. Iodividuality in a child is not encouraged in a child, but it shoul1l be. A child enjoys a mental victory. There is too much inechanical routine about our present system. Too much help is given by the teacher and the mental development of the child is stunted. ~Cram ~does not tend to daâ€" velop independerce. It does not train the child to think and any crammed work is forgotten three months after the child leaves school. Education is meant to develop any latent powers i1 the pupil not to give him a lot of unâ€" systematic facts. > CEMERGENCIES", Dr. BOWLBY.â€" This address was listened to with much interest. Hypuotism, Dr. Bowlby said, is becoming to widespread among the echools. ‘He gave a short talk on personal magnetism in the past. Mesâ€" mer was among the first to use magâ€" netic or mysterious healing. He exâ€" plained the action of hypnotism from & physiological standpoint. . Hypnotism should be put down among chi‘dren because impressions are more liable to be lasting and are liable to destroy the power of resistance. . _ _ Cts . Dr. Dunsmoâ€"e, of Stratrord.â€"In opening his speech he emphasized the remark made about "the lack of manâ€" ners in pupiles. (A boy or girl learns manners by his surroundings. He also spoke against the evils of hypnotism. He then spoke on his subject. The first requirement is to Keep Cool, in case of drowning. > EQ said he was drowned once. The first thing to do is to pull out the tongue. !t may be held out by a rubber band. Lay the boy on a piece of level ground face downward, forchead mtlnsdo: his arm. Press on ribs and roll on about 15 or 18 times a minute. . As soon as he begins to gasp begin to rub him. Then convey him to some place where he can ‘be cared for, keeping the head higher than the foet. _ The speaker then showed how to form a stretcher. 5 Epilepsy.â€"Lay the pupil down and give him or her a dash of cold water. He also discussed various other emerâ€" g::h as fainting, nosoâ€"bleeding, en bones, otc., giving rle-i ilinstrations on what should be done. :odshowd 27&? l:pmh a stretcher on one ys t gave a 5nnul Mustration o) the use of the fferent bandages for brokem collarâ€" bone and fractured skull. AS800TATION FAYORS . EXAMINATIONS. (Wednesday Afternoon Session.) HIS REMEDJES. Mr. Suddaby said are in the hands of the m.:hfi- anvual examinations are held or not, and thit examinations are not a fair test, the pupils being crammed. Mr. Stewart claimed that independâ€" ence could not ‘be inculcated into pupils when preparing for examinaâ€" tions. Pupile are not taught to be men and women. <‘They are s‘mply grammbed.. He thought teschers should set the questions and promo:e the pupils. Other teachers supported Mr. Iinton‘s contentions. ‘The following resolution was passed; That the Uniform Promotion Examicâ€" ations as conducted in the County have been of great educational benefit and should be continued. Mr. A. W. 'rgu favored the introâ€" duction of the Bible in the schools. It contains the best literature in the world and is easily understood. _ It is a great moral educater, gives rrlplh selfâ€"control and denominational rivalry is done away with. . The Bible is not plr;ipofly taught in Sunday Schools, a public school teachers are more fitted to teach it than any outside of the clergy. It rhould be taught as a book of hlnog; literature and Christâ€" ian morals. v. Mr Gilebrist hoped the day would soon come*when the Bible would be taught in the â€"schools. Rev. Mr. Lavelle said if the Bible was introduced there shoufftd be no examinâ€" ations on it. He said it is a book reâ€" presenting principles, not of morale. Bowmanville, May. 23.â€"Much inâ€" terest and speculation centres around the West Durham election trial now pending. ‘Thé date now fixed for the hearing is Friday, June 7, to begin at 10.30 a. m., in the Court House, at Cobourg. Two cases are to be tried, viz: The first case is entered by Mr. Thornton, _ the Conservative candiâ€" date _at the last general elestfon, Nov. 7, to compel Thomas Bingham, returning officer, to declare him electâ€" ed, claiming a majority of 41 votes. The petitioner, Charles Burnham, a West _ Durham voter,/in the second case claims the seat for Robert Beith, on the ground of corruption, and that the respondent, Thornton, was not legally a candidate, owing to the irregularity of his deposit by cheque instead of bank bills or curâ€" rency of the realm. 1.

"If they will be to do that I shalt race, Mm tl.mvo to build a boat between now and the date agreed upon..

Cirsumstances have reduced. the Shamrock II, to a pitiful, sparless wreck. She low lies off Hythe,. The story of the catastrophe is best told by Sir Thomas Lipton himself. After seeing his royal guest off to London, Sir Thomas gave the following interâ€" view to a representative of the Assoâ€" ciated Press: ‘‘We had just begun to make for the starting line, when a fierce breeze sprang up. King Edward, Lady Lonâ€" donderry, Mrs. Jameson, Mr. Watâ€" son, Mr. Jameson and myself were on deck, hanging on as best we might, for the challenger was almost at an angle of 45 degrees. The King started to go below, Just as he did so, everything collapsed. A heavy block fell between the two ladies, and a wire rope struck me on the head and momentarily stunned ms. A sudâ€" den squall, an unexpected strain, and everything had given way. King Edâ€" ward was half in and half out of the companionway. What happened, how all the falling spars and sweeping sails did not kill or sweep someone overboard, is more â€" than I know. When I came© to, I saw the King clambering over the wreckage, trying to discover the extent of the damage, and asking, ‘Is anyone hurt?‘ *‘ When the distinguished particiâ€" pators in the mishap had been transâ€" ferred to the Erin, the King‘s first remark was: ‘"‘When shall we sail again, Lipton?"‘ ‘And before His Maâ€" jesty started for â€" London, his <~last words to Sir Thomas were: ‘‘When you next sail, I am going with you.‘" In fact the ruler of the British Emâ€" pire seemed keenly to enjoy the unâ€" usual spice of danger into which his love of sport had led him. â€" Heartfelt expressions of gratitude that the King cscaped are heard upâ€" on all sides. Many people say he was foolish to go mboard the chalâ€" lenger, but, as Sir Thomas Lipton says: ‘"If I did not think everything was perfectly safe, you may be sure I would never have invited His Maâ€" jesty .‘ King Edward . dined aboard the Erin in Southampton waters, â€" and arrived at Southampton pier in the Erin‘s â€" launch _ shortly . after 10 o‘clock in the morning. He was acâ€" companied to the train by Sir Thos. Lipton. He réceived a cordial reâ€" ception _ from the assembled crowd. The . Mayor _ of Southampton and wife were introduced to His Majesty when he landed. ‘The King was in admirable spirits, and none the Worse for his adventure. 4 Accompanied _ by the Marchioness of Londonderry and â€" Sir Stanley Clarke, King Edward left Southampâ€" ton at 10.15 p. m., and arrived in London at midnight,. ‘The King drove to Marlborough House, where he was cheered by a small crowd awaiting his arrival. â€" Numerous K gritms were awaiting him from peror William, the crowned heads of Europe and > others, congratulating him upon his escape.
