Report on the President's Address.

(MA OXENHAMS REPORT CONTINUED )

The report of the committee appoinied _to consider the amount of literature which should be set for entrance examination to the Normal Schoul, was read and adoptec,

{ On motion, it was reselved that «a copy lof the report be sent tothe Chiet Superin- 'tendent of Education, with the request ‘that he accede to the same. ' ) Mr. J. MeSwain, froin the committee

Window Poles ; appointed to report on the address of the } president of this Ins itute, presented their

report, which was as follows :

Your committee to whom was referred the address of the president, consider that amongst the many valuable suggestions which that address contains there are some upon which infmediate action should be taken.

1. Amongst these is the iucorporation of this association; and they recommend that the executive committee be instructed and author- iz dat the next meeting of the Provincial Legislature to app!y for an act of incorpor- ation,

2. With regard to a teachers’ agency, they do not urge that steps should be takes just now, until the act of incorporation, as noted above, be secured, unless it be found that sueh can be insti:uted and conducted without en tailing a large expendituce on the part of the association. If it can be instituted as a pri- vate venture, but with the approval of your association, and dependent on the fees derived trom those transacting business with it, there can be go objection to its establishment at any time. | *

3. We advise the adoption of the sugges- tion recommending the granting of diplomas in special subjects, particularly in those re- lating to naturel science, music, and drawing; and that these brenches be taught in the Provincial Normal School.

4. We feel that it is injurious to the inter- ests of education that competent officials, ap- pointed and acting under the Public Schovis Act, should be displaced for political reasons, 5 We recommend to the executive that if a paper, which shail serve as the organ of the Educational Association and the teachers of the Is'and, cannot be established or obtained, that at least the use of a column be secured in which educational matters can be discussed and advocated,

6. The recommendation that a flag be pro- cured for the use of the Educational Asvocia- tion, meets with our hearty approval.

On motion it was

Resolved, that said report be read and discuased, clause by clause, if necessary. First clause read. A motion having been made that it be adopted.

Mr. R. H. Campbell said,— it was desirable that some member of the com- mittee should explain the reasons for recommending the inco:pvration of this association.

Mr. J. D. Seaman—When [ firsit heard the suggestion contained inthe President’s address, respecting this matter, it struck me as being a good one. I notice that the physicians are incorporated, sv that one member of the profession cannot injure another by underbidding for practice. Such is also the case with the legal asso- ciation. Why should not the teachers’ as- sociation also be incorporated, in order to puta stop tu improper practices? That there have been cases of scandalous under- bidding ou the part of some teachers, all are, no doubt, aware. The trustees of schools do not hesitate to tell experienced teachers that that they can obtain the ser- vices of young inexperienced teachers at a lower salary, and that it is their intention toengage them. Now, as a corporate body, we would have restrictions thrown around us, which would protect us from improper practices. Under an act of in- corporation, we would have much more power than at present, and would thus be enabled to make ourselves felt.

Mr. Ives—I did not hear the President’s aldress, but I believe it contained many wise suzgestions. I do not quite under- stand what provisions would be contained in an act incorporating this assuciation; put 1 suppose the latter would be seme- vhat similar to one incorporating a lab- orer's Union. I believe that if we were more closely united in a bond of union, we would find ourselves possessing much more strength than at present. We sometimes pass important resolutions, and send them to the proper quarter; but that is the last we hear of them. Many teachers, when obtaining license, do not intend tu remain in the profession any great length of time, and merely make it «# stepping-stone to some other calling. The number who re- main in the profession is small; the great majority leave it after teaching a year or two. The result is thatthere are but few veterans in our ranks to-day; but their rights should be properly protected. Who ean estimate the amount of good that will result from such « cvrporation as that pro- posed? { think the proposed step a very proper and necessary one. (Applause. )

The clause was then put and carried un- hanimously.

Second clause read, respecting the estab-

—_— ae of a teachers’ agency. RAPH ER! On motion, the clause was adopted with- out discussion.

Third clause read, recommending the r}granting of diplomas in special subjects, i}such as Natural Science, Music and Draw- ing.

A motion was made that the clause be adopted. ‘| Mr. N. McLeod—Tteve is at present a professor in the Normal School whose duty is to teach Natural Science, and, therefore, a special diploma in that branch could bs easily arranged for by the authorities. As to special diplomas for Music and Drawing, I have not given the matter due considera-

tion. Asasystem, I would certainly ap- prove of the granting of special diplomas for special subjects to be taught in cur schools,

Mr, Ilves—I understand that this clause recommendsthat a diploma shall be grant- ed tu those teachers who qualify themselves in special subj cts. This system would be found to work wel! in cases where special, qualificaticns are needed. As matters now | stand, the public have no means of ascer-! taining what teachers are specially quaalifted for special work. A teacher thoroughly qualified tu teach Agriculture, for instance, | may be teaching in a school where instruc- tion in that branch is not required. If the recommendation contained in this clause were carried into effec:, those who are qualified for special work would, no doubt, find their proper place, as there would be a special demand for their services in certain quarters. Such a system would enable ep ‘cialiy qualified teachers to ob‘ain better, p sitions than at presont.

Mr McSwain-—If all the special] branches were taught in the Normal School, only thuse who .seek such instruction would study them. The other teachers would) pass the usual examination, as at present, in the eubjects now required of them, Cer- tain subjects might be made optional. Lu- stead of a mathematical course, for in- stance, a science course might be chosen by the student. This would give the stu- dent an opportunity to follow the bent of his inclinations. As matters now stand, all teachers of the same_ class pass the same examination. It would prove a public benefit if some teachers would take up special subjects and be granted diplomas tor proficiency therein. This system would produce epecially qualified persons for certain positions where their services woull be required. There are cases iu which the study of Latin or Greek would be of no value to the pupils ; but where Kntomology and Botany would prove very useful, particularly so to our farmers’ sons, and all interested in agricalture. Our farmers now require a thorough know- ledge of the insect pests which are now found everywhere, destroying the crops. The State of Massachusetts alone voted $50,000 for the purpose of exterminating a single insect. It is therefor important that some of our teachers should have a thorough inowledge of the two sciences to which I bave referred. Others would qualify them- selves in other branches, which they would of their own choice desire to study.

The President — Would it not prove too expensive for a student to specially qualify himself for the purpose of taking a diploma? It would be necessary for him to attend a school of science for that purpose.

Mr. Seaman—It would be necessary for the student to obtain the ordinary license, first, according to his class; afterwards he could ebtain the special diploma, Of course, any other teacher could qualify himself in the same way and obtain a similar diploma.

Mr. McSwain—If a teacher obtained a diploma fer drawing, it would prove 4 vala- able acquisition to him, as such knowledge would enable him to illustrate his lessons in such a way as he could not otherwise do. Such a qualification would be useful to all teachers.

Mr. E. Crawford—Could the professors in Prince of Wales Colleges and Normal School fiud time to teach all the special branches to which allusion has been made?

The President—It would not be necessary to attend the College and Normal School in order to qualify in these subjects. The teacher could make any one of them a special study, pass an examination, and obtain a diploma.

Clause agreed to.

‘Make Hens Lay.”

Such is the caption of an advertisement that appears not only in the local, but many leading agricultural papers, and which sug- gests the propriety of a few thoughts upon the subject. It may be laid down as a rule that most farmers indulge in raising poultry not for the pleasure it gives, but for the profit that is realized from the same which must come from young chicks or eggs, and since the chicks must come from the eggs, the real profit may be traced to egg pro- duction, so the advice given in these words is of vital consequence to the ambitious farmer. “The advertisement re- ferred to recommends Sheridan’s Con- dition Powders to make hens lay, and so do we,” says Mr. Hunter, poultry editor of the N. E. Farmer. ‘‘A hen to lay pro- lifically must be in perfect health, must be in condition, and here is based the true theory of the value of Sheridan's Condition Powder—it promotes the general goud health of the fowl, gently quickening di- gestion, and stimulating all the various or- gans of the body, as well as the ovaries, to psrform their functions.” At this season of the year the use of Sheridan’s Condition Powder is very valuable for moulting hens and young pullets. By its use now they will get to laying earlier when the price for eggs is very high, Any person buying and using Sheridan’s Condition Powder now, will get their hens in good laying condition before cold weather, and stand a good chance to win one of the large gold premiums to be offered later by [.S. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House Street, Boston, Mass , (the only makers of Sheridan’s Condition Powder)who will send for 50 cents, two packs of powder; for $1, five packs; for $1.20 a large 2} Ib. can, post paid; six cans for $5, express prepaid.
