The Annual meeting of the North York Cducational Association was held iii the school room of the Meth- odist Church on Friday and Saturday last. There were about 7.3 teachers iii attlr‘ndancc and the meeting was said to have been one of the most. success~ ful in the history of the Association. As some of the teachers iii the Northâ€" ern part. of the district were unable to make connect ion. another meeting will be held for them ill Sutton iii about three Weeks. The inspector. Mr. A. B. Davidson, occupied the chair at all the sessions. The lirst session was opened by the reading of Scripture, and prayer by lev. ("r’. )Ic(‘ulloeli, after which Mr. Naughton Esrp. chairman of the Board of I‘ldueaiion. extended a hearty welcome to the teachers. Mr. Tei‘ry ol' llogai'town gave his method of teaching Sharing which he considered difi'crent from the method in the authoriZed aritliliietic. He re» solved tliH questions into simple equa- tions, and worked several problems. Many opinions were given by the teachers as to which they concluded the best method. Miss Rogers of Yonge St. gave her views of How to teach Selfdleliance to Pupils. and brought out many illi- .poi't’ant points. It was pointed out that Self-Reliance belongs to the moral division of educational developâ€" ment. Necessary qualifications of a «teacher are quality of being self re- liant. realization of the value of self re- liance, and just estimation of the value of little things. By self-reliance a teacher may see above and beyond the petty trials and cares of the school- ‘roolil. aiid keep in sympathy with his pupils. Self-reliance helps to elevate one's own moral character. Mr. Powers of Queeiisville. read a paper on How to Interest Pupils in the Study of History. He dwelt. upon the necessity of extensive reading on the part of the teacher to properly fit himâ€" self to teach the subject. First lessons should consist of interesting historical stories, biographies. and manners and customs of people. _ For the second class the chief events should be taught by conversation, and continued in the third class by a fuller detail. book might be begun by fourth-class pupils. An interesting discussion fol- lowed in which Messrs. Terry, Davidâ€" son. Muiloy, Harvey, Pike and Dunnâ€" ing took part. Miss \Vilson. of the Model School, Newinarket. took the convention, and gave her method of teaching Litera- ture to a. 4th class. The. piece selected was The Evening Cloud, a beautiful sonnet, out of which Miss \Vilson found plenty cellent lesson. class as to the character of the writer, the idea of a sonnet, the thoughts of She questioned her the Writer. &c.. as he penned the lilies. ‘ The thoughts summed up in the poem suggested “After life’s fitful fever here is rest.” Miss Starr, of the Model' School, then gave alesson on the teaching of Composition to 4th class. She. would collect thoughts from the pupils, se- :lect the best. of them, combine them under headings and arrange these headings along the lines of the simpâ€" lest rules for paragraph structure, &c., 8:0. Exceptionally good compositions should be read to the whole class. Mr. Mulloy, B. A., of the Aurora High School, gave su ‘gestions as to the correct method 0 answering at the Entrance Examinations. He thought there should be more unit of interest between the Public and the High Schools. Examinations should Show teachers the eifect. of their teach- ing, and hence are indispensable. Do not teach for examinations alone, but for the welfare of the pupils. Mr. A. E. Ooombs, M. A., of the Rich’d Hill High School, read a, paper on “‘ What my ex erience as a teacher has taught me.” e said, no matter how high a teacher’s scholarship may be, nor how excellent his Normal training, he will of necessity be back- ward until he getselessons in the school of practical experience. He had learn- ed that his knowledge was not organ- ized when he began teaching. questions asked by the shown him that he must as well as how. that aimless work was worthless work, and now never taught a. lesson unless it had some-definite object in it. This encouraged the pupil to look for the kernels which [each lesson had He thought arteacherishmild give all his time to his wor . ‘Success was only achieved by havin school first, last, and all the time. i" 0 one should be admitted to the profession who did not intend to stay in it.

He said he h.d learned that better discipline was maintained by speaking in a low tone and by never becoming irritated. best to let the first advances towards friendship between teacher and” pupil come from the pupil. The teacher should always be somewhat reserved before his class.__ He said in closing that he would sooner teach than have holidays, because ‘his heart was in his work ,_ ., _ . , , . , The public meeting which was held in the Masonic Hall Friday _evening was well attended. Mr. J. A. E. Swit- zer, secretary of the Board' ofEduca- .‘tion, presided. In his opening re- marks he said that teachers’ can- veiitions wore worthy of public sup- port and public sympathy, and hoped pupils had now why The text‘ of material for an ex-' . lugs, 50 cents.

The following resolution was passed by the convention relative to the his- tory regulations :â€" , “'hereas iii the. opinion of this as- sociation : 1. The present course ili history pr< - scribed by the regulations for Entrance work is so extensive as not to admit of as thorough and satisfactory work as is reasonably expected from fourth class pupils ; 2. That the time. necessary to be spent in order to cover the present course in history is out of all due pro‘ portion to the relative value and ini- portance of the subject ; 3. That part of the time now spent upon English History could be more profitably spent in developing a. fifller and more thorough knowledge. of the facts and men associated with the his- tory of our own country : - Therefore be. it resolved that we place ourselves on record as being dis- lcased with the present limit in this sub'ect as laid down by 'the regula- tions ; and further that we recommend that smile particular periodâ€"such for example as that beginning with the Stuart period, or the English revolu- tion, and ending with the present time, or a brief outline in British His- tor as follows along with the Canaâ€" dian Historyâ€"be the prescribed course for the Entrance Examination. â€"â€"â€"â€"§O GOOD SET OF TEETH FOR $4.
