l: must first of all thank you very nucb for the honor extended me when last Year you elected me Pres- ident of the Federation.

Our first executive m “ o! (he Ibdcration year was held directlly s: the close of the Annual Convention. The third delegate to the c. '1'. 1", was appointed at this meeting and alternate delegates were then op. pointed. At the nest meeting the ar- rangements for the fall convention were made. The dates for the follow- ing conventions were settled: Hun- ter River, New Haven, Mt. Stewart, Uigg, Souris, Summerside and Olseary. The New Haven convention was held in Charlottetown. Char- lottetown is rnuch more central and easier for the majority of teachers to reach than New Haven so it was thought that a larger convention could be held there. ‘Ihe change has proved very successful. '

The suggestion was made that it would be in the interests of the Iod- sration to hold a local convention at some centre west of Ohary, prefer- ably at Tigniah or Albcrton. The secretary communicated with In- spector Gallant re dates, and ar- rsngeme ‘ of such a convention, but ie was impossible at so late a date to carry out the plans as the Acad- hn Convention had than been ar- ranged for. I would suggest that the incoming executive tdks up this mat- ter at once and plan" for such a Con- vention. _

The program at the local Conven- tion is as follows: (i) mlrollmsnt and appointment of commimees; (2) President's Address; (d) Remarks by Inspector; (i) Paper by a. Teac‘ ; (s)- Address by tho Superintendent oi Education; (6) Question Box; ('1) Election of officers.

The Inspectors carry out practical- ly all the mrrangmeents for those Conventions. I wishgtn express our thanks to them for their hearty co- operation, and for the splendid way inwhichtheycarryonthiswork- All resolutions passed by the local Conventions are submitted to the xxecuti u oi the rederation. 14st ysar they mainly conccrnedolunlor Red cram Societies being formed‘ in each school and Course of Studies being sent to each tsschsrbefore the beginning of the school year.

our membership compares very favor. ably with that of any preceding year.- Tho following resolution was pass- ed at last year's Annual Convention: —"Wlleroas the Govsrnlent, yielding to the demands of the Federation, has promised to appoint an inde- pendent Commission to investigate 11110118 other things the matter of teachers’ ‘ “ , and whereas it is most important that the Federation's sideofthscass bepresentedinss ‘able and comprehensive a manner as possible; T resolved that this Convention authorize and ‘instruct the incoming executive to deal with this matter immediately either by the appointment‘ of an energetic committee or by securing the serv- ices of a qualified investigator such as Mr. Morrlaey, our efficient organ- iser, to gather all the available data Ind present the case for the Feder- ation before this Commission." This resolution was immediately dealt with. Owing to the large amount of work entailed and the short time in which tho work had to be done Mr. Morrisey, with the as- sistance oi Mr. Wynne, undertook the work. The brief was completed in five weeks. It was very extensive and covered such ,“ sissflnessona for requesting a substantial increase; av- erage salaries received} comparison of those salaries with the average salaries received in other p. fessions; length of service of teache s teaching during i927: comparative statement of salaries paid to ‘teachers 1h this province and in other provinces of Canadaf comparative statements of the percentage greater of toachcrs‘ salaries and the cost of living in the other provinces; per capita. taxation oi the provinces oi Canada; tenta- tive schedule of increases based on stationary grants, etc. The report was published at the time oi its pres- entation but if any teacher wishes to see the report now it is available. Mr. Mon-lacy appeared before the Commission in Charlottetown and presented the report.‘ He was also given the authority to speak for the Federation rs text books, etc. I wish to thank Mr. Morrissy and m. Wynne for undertaking this work and presenting such a splendid brief. The report oi the Educational Commissioniwas presentsd to the ‘Government shortly beiore the House mot in March. On March 22nd a meeting of the Executive was held. At this meeting it was decided that a committee wait on the government and. present to them certain specific questions relative to the Report. It

pil, ia s. very important factor. '.‘i‘hs system stresses too much subject matter and not enough the human being. Each pupil has an inherited mental . capacity. certain natural tendencies and certain experiences, all essentially different. The teacher should learn to work upon these "~-'-=< and tnke advantage of them. All instincts can be redirected 'o~us..'-:\'..s'nj. ‘£08 teacher must also learn to start where the homo has left off in the beginner, and take full advantage of the child's exper- ience. In this thegtescher must. know children.

Tho curriculum is merely the med- ium oi making ths child s world cit- izen; thus it will be seen that the course of study is very important. The achoolroom should be a part of life. If it is not, the type oi work is not correct. The school should ap- proximate life as nearly as possible.

Learning is a very active process. The teacher often seeks to dominate the situation, as it ia easier to tell than to teach. Self-activity is ne- cessary to successful teaching. Pu- pils should be constcnly active and alert.

‘fpo pupils know how to study without specific training?" the speak- er asked. "No." The pupil very 01W‘! does not know the object of his les- son. The chiid must be taught how t0 approach his problem. i-iigh school pupils often adopt wrong methods. The first year classes ming into a university are often at sea under the lecture system. A certain definite place of study is helpful and devel- ops s. desirable mental attitude, as does also a certain definite time of study. Voluntary attention to a sub- ject la also necessary to develop later involuntary attention. ,

The child is taught spelling not so much to learn‘ the few words but to learn the rules of how to spell.

Sense perception, the seeing of one thing in relation to another is im- poi-tent. The "whole method" of memorizing and "space repetition are the best to use in imcmory work. Im- agination should at times be given full scope in the public school.
