THE growing demand for small dogs
is said to have developed new indus

hours old, are said to be placed largely
on an alcoholic diet, which is gradually
increased. This prevents their growth,
and after generation the Liliprtian
animal is more easily obtained.
A NEW trans-Pacific record was made

a year ago by two hours and fifteen
minutes.

The dredging of the bar now permits

long it is hoped the channel will be
deep enough for ships drawing twenty
four feet.

arithmetic were illustrated by examples
which were worried and analysed by the
teachers. There being so many 1t would
take too much time and space.
Mrs. Butz In primary arithmetic said
numbers should be kept out the first two
years except what can be taught Incl
dentally. Then when numbers are taken
up fractions should come In the first
with objects or pictures.
Prof. Putnam gave short talk on
| numbers stating There is too much
time spent, and when child has learned
| the combination numbers they should
be dropped until the child is IA years
old.
In arithmetic Z. A. Carpenter illus
trated method of teaching percentage
and one In least common multiple.
In language Commissioner McKanna
brought In third grade pupils TO Illus
trate his method of teaching definitions.

tences," analysis" ''parsinR" and
definitions and participles" were IL
lustrated by sentences on the board
which were analysed and parsed Ivy the
teachers, each class being conducted by
Mr.. McKanna.
Miss Andrews on primary reading"
said: begin with the Pollard system
short sound OF letters and then tell
stories.
In the last afternoon session Commits
sicner McKanna gave a short talk to the
teachers advising them to gain the at
tention ef the pupils and TO teach them
to think. Also prepare the lessons so
that Won will not need text book, un-
derstand the subject. have a plan of
work, know how to question and teach
the pupils, and how TO prepare the les
sons.
Prof. Putnam's advice was .'Get out
OF your own town and come IN contact
with the great world around you. One
half Of the world does not know how the
other half lives. Get out and see for
yourself"
The institute was a success, and eli
who attended we're benefited.
