REMARKS.
In no convention of teachers held
in this town before hos there aprar-
emily been so much interest taken,
and close attention given to the work
before them, as in The present one
they all seemed 10 desire to obtain
information rs to the best methods
of doing The work before them.
Again: at no time has tie
instruction given been given in
n more practical manner, and
those who have taken full notes of
the work done in convention will
fnd that they will be of great use in
the future TO them. There is no
doubt that these conversations will
be of great use in stimulating teach
ers to do the work given them in the
most approved methods, and the
friction of minds in such conven-
tions, will keep the teachers more
up to their work. There Is no doubt
at all but that the results of this
week work in this convention will
be felt in renewed activity in our
public schools all over this land.
| But we would suggest to the Boud
of Education. whether it would not
be beyter to publish in advance n
programme Of The instruction to be
| offered in convention week, SO that
all the attending teachers might
know in advance on what topics
| they would be called 10 listen to, and
that would give them an opporiun-
ity to prepare themselves on the
sane. Ii one knew in advance what
subjects would he discussed, ques-
tions on the same could be prepared
by him to ask which might call
forth discussion, that would be OF
much benefit to all concerned.
Then again, a class of children
might be had in readiness where
with the lessons might be fully il.
lustrated. We all know that some.
times seeing fixes Il thing in mind
quicker and more lastingly than
hearing.
Finally, we think that the Time
| Gone week) now given TO this nor
NAL school instruction is not long
enough TO do justice in, TO the me.
thods taught. 1t would be Of ne
loss to our common schools if week
should be taken off from the schOo
term and put on TO tue Convention
time. The instruction given need,
discussion, and with the limited
time now at the disposal of the Con.
vention, such cannot be had. We
only offer the above as suggestion
and hope that those who have charge
of the matter will give them thei
attention.
We give the teachers here assem-
bled our aloha for the interest they
all have taken in the matter of on
public school education, and although
it has not been an easy matter TO
them 60 leave their home as far Com

may rest assured that Hlo's peopl
thank them for being present anC
doing what they have done for TIL
benefit of our schools. Aloha oukor
