stable and good warm cup of coffee pre-
pared by sister Chase to warm up the in

short walk brought us to the hall and we
found quite d change, as it had been sheath

the master, past master White called the
Grange to order. Remarks were made by
the visiting members from Granite, Morning

making made the hours pass all too fast and

The Teachers Club Course.

The third lecture in the Belfast Teachers
Club course was given in the High school
room last Friday evening, by John R. Dun
ton, ESQ.,, on "Imagination in Reading"
The room was completely filled and few
late tomers had difficulty in finding seats.
Mr.. Dunton gave thoughtful and carefully
prepared review of the subject, which was
highly appreciated by the audience. In
reading the speaker included all study of
books, whether for instruction, mental train
ing or recreation, and the word Imagination
was used in its fullest and broadcast sense.
Mental work, like physical work, demands
energy. If we read properly, the things we
have never seen come before the eye of the
mind and leave an impression on the men,
ory as the rays of light leave the impression
on the plate of the Photographic camera.
The relations of place are the most promi.
nent. If we close our eyes we can see OBJ
jects reversed from their true position by an
action OF the mind. Reading should cause
us to see things as the author saw them.
Abstract ideas arise from seeing things or
by having them brought before the mind by
reading. Imagination is the ability of the
mind to change the order of things, or
events. Imagination has been the guiding
star of all ages. But Imagination is not all
in reading. Thinking is as much an art as
imagining. While books contain the ex-
preston of thought they cannot create it.
In thinking we use words as well as in
talking. The writer chooses his words, but
the reader has no choice. He must apply
the thought to the words as they are. The
getting OF thought is the first object of read
ing. The old plan of memorizing, and the
opposite method of kindergarten work, may
both be carried too far. The initial step in
reading is nagining, and this is as true in
other lines as in fiction. 1t is wrong to
make information the chief object of read
ing. We should first read and imagine,
then read for the true meaning of the au-
thor. If a pupil, through his books, sees
things outside his vision, then books are his
life. The writer creates by imagining the
reader constructs by imagining. In fiction
the imagination takes care of itself. Out
side the realm of fiction the mind must be
held in grasp. Reading fiction for recrea-
tion is mere playing with books. Thought
| full books are a means Of culture, but they
fail without careful thought on the part of
the reader. In reading ancient books we
must become as the ancients. In reading
poetry we should forget natural philosophy !;
| in personi6cation we must see natural OBJ
jects endowed with life. Mr.. Dunton illus
I trated many of his points by quotations
from various authors, all of which were
specially appropriate. The journal has
heard many comments on the discourse and
all agreed that it was one of the best ad-
dresses dealing with the subject of books
fore Belfast audience.
