Reverend John A. McDonald welcomed the teachers and visit- ors and commented on the earn- estness and enthusiasm shown by teachers by their attendance at , Summer Schools. He also stated that the Home and School Assoc- iation does excellent work for the exchange of ideas between teach- er and parents. Praying God's blessing on each and every one of us, and our work he withdrew.

The supplement to the course of studies was learly explained by Supervisor Ca laghan who also touched on every subject of the curriculum giving helpful sug- gestions for each.

Supervisor FE. Doiron in his address advised teachers to con- duct each day's work, according to a definite plan. Ha thanked all teachers for their promptness in filling out attendance reports and advised the training of pupils in practical health.

Mr, McKenzie, chief supervisor, did much to enliven the conven- tion and enlighten teachers, by his numerous, valuable helps and timely suggestions throughout the day on various topics that were discussed and his explanations of new text books. He thought too - that teachers had a lot of spade ‘ work to do in getting their com- munity interested in obtaining necessary equipment for their schools.

The excellent work done by the Junior Red Cross was explained by Mrs. Robert McCal1um. She advised getting organizations like Women's Institute, C.W.L., Home and School in purchasing cod liv- er oil capsules to be distributed in the school for under-nourished pupils at the rate of 1000 for $5.00.

Reasoning in Arithmetic was on the programme for discussion. Reverend Sister Saint Peter op- ened the discussion by suggesting that problems in Arithmetic would be more readily solved if oral Arithmetic were taught systemat- ically in all the grades and if cer- tain questions were asked befora trying to solve the problem. Many helpful plans resulted from the discussions which followed.

Dr. L.W. Shaw's address opened the afternoon session. He stated that the inspiration for his talk to the teachers came from a ne- cessitated visit to a rural school, from which he developed the real- ization of the elernal triangle which we must take into consid- eration if we want to ba success- ful teachers. One side of this tri- angle represented the community in general,» another the teacher ‘and a third, the Department of Education. From this idea he pointed out how all three working together formed a perfect triangle.

An excellent paper on Primary Language was read by Reverend Sister Saint Catherine and much discussion followed.

The question box brought up many questions which were satis- factorily answered by Dr. Shaw, Mr. McKenzie and our Supervis- ors.

The chairman of the resolution committee submitted the follow- ing resolutions:

1. Bo it resolved that {he grat- itude of the convention be ex- tended to Reverend JZA. MacDon- ald for his presence and for his words of encouragement, to Dr. L.W. Shaw for his fine address and guidance; to Mr. Malcolm MacKenzie, chief supervisor, for his part in the discussions of the day; to Mrs. MacCallum, direct- ress of Junior Red Cross for her information regarding Red Cm“, To Reverend Sister Saint Peter for her paper on Reasoning in Arithmetic andto Reverend lis- ter Saint Catherine for her paper on Primary Language.
