Institute subserves the same interests
that the Association does, but it is con-
Quoted differently. The Institute is
under the control of one man the As
ISOLATION is essentially democratic, and.
as a consequence, gives more liberty to
the individual. Teachers should, then,
labor to sustain an institution which ex-
tends equal privileges TO all, and which
Is depended on them for support.
MI. Walker continued the discussion.
Educational meetings viii DO good in
all communities. This Association has
already advanced the interest OF educa-
ton. Iheteachers present, even though
they may not derive any direct benefit
from the discussion Of the subjects on
the programme, have been induced to
give some thought to those subjects.
Teachers absent have been benefited ::
the facb that Il convention of teachers is
being held here viii make educational
matters be toI3ic OF conversation, and
good will come Of il. When teachers
realize that their attendance at associa-
tons viii enhance their reputation, all
portions Of the county viii be represen-
ted. An educational column would be
OF considerable aid to the Association.
Mir. Barns spoke of an association
with which he was connected that was
insignificant in numbers when organized
but which IS one of the most successful
in the State.
Fir. Walker proceeded to give his
views on TIE subject assigned him.
Teachers Certificates. Certificates
show authority to teach, and are an evil
dence of scholarship. A irst-grade GER
tlficate shows industry, culture and pro-
fessional pride in its possessor. A con
tlEaod low grade of standing should dis
qualify q teacher, as it indicates indo-
lence, or mental weakness. The attain
ment of high grade, a sufficient number
OF Zines to prove that it is not the result
OF examining, should relieve teacher
from further examination fer this class
f.certificatcs. This arrangement would
enable him to expend the time now de
voted to preparation for examinations in
extending his studies.
Mr.. Kirwan concluded an institute ex-
ercise. Subject, Ratio and Proportion.
