By W. R. Riddell, B. A. :-
By Rev. Mr. Carroll:-"Past and present state of Education,
Dr. Law, B.A. then delivered an admirable lecture on Geology,
of which the following is a synopsis :-

vibration of a portion of the brain, and thereby determining a flow
of blood to the part. The sensation produced by such impulse
would be referred to a physical cause which had previously produced
a similar sensation, reason being suspended and observation impos-
sible, the mind by association of ideas would run from thought to
thought. The total absence of all sense of incongruity was shewn
to be the result of the mind considering one conception by itself,
and not in connection with the data supplied by observation. After
alluding to the absence of moral sense in dreaming, the lecturer
spoke of "dreams coming true," and endeavoured to explain this
on scientific principles. The lecture was concluded by a brief glance
at the opinions of the ancients on the origin of dreams, Virgil and
Homer being quoted as authority for the great regard paid to pre-
monitions supposed to be thus received, and the marked respect in
which interpreters of dreams were held.

The next meeting was appointed to be held at Brockville, in September or October, to be determined at a subsequent meeting of the Directors, an earlier meeting not being deemed necessary, as the teachers were desirous of utilizing and attending the three days' session of the Eastern Provincial Association, to be held at Brockville in August, and of which due notice will be given.

The introduction showed the relation of Geology to the other sciences, as Chemistry, Mechanics, Botany, Zoology and Mineralogy, to be that of mutual dependence. Then the crust of the earth was described, consisting essentially of rocks, the nature and character of which, and the lessons that may be read from them in the great pages of nature were then explained, after which were taken up seriatim, the principle geological agencies which are and have been at work in remodelling the crust and surface of the earth, the main division of which is as follows, viz.: the igneous, the aqueous, and the organic. These main divisions were again sub-divided: 1st, the aqueous into marine and non marine, the latter including the atmospheric agencies of rain and frost, rivers, lakes, springs and glaciers the former including icebergs, waves, tides and oceanic currents. After dwelling at some length upon these various agen- 2 SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF HISTORICAL, MATHEMATIcies and showing their great tendency to be to level all the inequalities of the earth's surface, the next division, namely :-the igneous, was shown to have the directly opposite tendency, that of elevating the surface of the earth into mountain chains, &c.

Proceeding to the third and last division-the organic,--a description of the coral and the huge structures erected by that tiny insect, was given. The dangers to the mariner and the extent of these coral reefs were pointed out, some reefs extending many hundreds of miles.

The lecture concluded by a fine quotation from Montgomery on the coral insect and its work, the last lines of which were as follows:

Compared with this amazing edifice,

Raised by the weakest creatures in existence,

What are the works of intellectual man,

His temples, palaces and sepulchres?

Dust in the balance, atoms in the gale,
Compared with these achievements in the deep."

The concluding subject was by Mr. John H. McFaul :-"Symbolic
Arithmetic."

On motion it was resolved that Dr. Hodgins, Prof. Riddell and the Rev. J. Carroll, be elected Honorary members of the Institute, a cordial vote of thanks being also given for their invaluable assistance on the occasion.

Opportunities were afforded the teachers and trustees present of questioning Dr. Hodgins on the school law, many availing themselves of the privilege and receiving satisfactory information. The Deputy Minister, on returning thanks to the members of the Institute, expressed himself delighted with the practical nature of the teaching, and complimented the Inspector, Mr. Bigg, on the manner in which he handled the subject of history, advising the teachers to adopt the plan recommended, both in imparting and acquiring the information sought.

At 8 P.M., at Dufferin Hall, which was crowded, the last lecture

of the course was delivered.

The Revd. Father Casey was in the chair. The chairman introduced the lecturer, W. R. Riddell, B. A., B.Sc., Mathematical Master, Normal School, whose subject was "The stuff that dreams are made of."

The lecture began by an investigation of the manner in which the human body and mind are connected, without pausing to speak of the ideas on this point of the ancient philosophers, the conclusions of modern science were given, viz. that the body and mind are connected through the cerebro spinal nervous system. The necescity of sleep was then discussed, and shown to be a consequence of the weariness of this system. As to the immediate physical cause of sleep, three theories were mentioned: (1) the hyperacenic; (2) anaemic, which considers sleep as a consequence of an excess or deficit respectively of blood in the brain, and (3) "Sommer's chemical theory." The second of these theories was adopted. The condition of the mind was then considered, and the lecturer gave his reasons for supposing, contrary to most metaphysicians, that the mind during normal sleep is not absolutely at rest, but in a semi-passive way occupied upon one idea. An objective impulse would

(e) Government, Discipline, General Morale. IV. A part will be distributed on the results of an Examination "+ of the nature following:

"Intermediate

[1.] The Examination will be instituted at a point about midway between the beginning and the end of the High School course, for promotion from the lower to the upper forms. It will, on the whole, be equal in point of difficulty to that which candidates for second-class certificates now undergo. Pupils that pass this examination will form the Upper School; while those who have not passed it will form the Lower School, in any High School or Collegiate Institute.

[2] Candidates for promotion from the Lower School to the Upper School will be examined in English Grammar and Etymology, Reading, Dictation, Composition, Writing, Arithmetic, Euclid, Algebra, English and Canadian History, Geography, and in one of the following branches or groups:

[a] Latin; [b] French; [e] German; [d] Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Book-keeping.

[3] The part of the grant which it is proposed to distribute on the results of this "Intermediate Examination will be apportioned on the basis of the average daily attendance of the pupils in the Upper School, it being understood that pupils who pass the "Intermediate " shall rank as 66 Upper School Pupils" for the time they have attended during the half year preceding the Examination.

NOTE.-Editions of these are on sale at the Depository Branch of the Education

Department.

At the Intermediate Examination in 1877, papers will be sent in English Granimar and Etymology, English Literature, Dictation, Composition, Arithmetic, Euclid, AlChemistry, Natural Philosophy and Book-keeping.

The questions will be prepared by the High School Inspectors, transmitted to the Department by the Chairman of the Central Committee, and sent under seal to the Public School Inspectors. The Public School Inspectors, or their substitutes [who should in no case have any connection with the schools to be examined] will alone be responsible for the proper conduct of the examinations. The answers of the candidates will be sent to Toronto to be read and valued by the High School Inspectors, or by sub-examiners acting under their supervision. In order somewhat to lighten the labour of examination, it is proposed to make certain branches test subjects.

The test subjects will be grouped in the following manner : [a] Arithmetic, Algebra and Euclid.

[b] English Grammar, Composition and Dictation. [c] History, Geography and English Literature; and candidates who obtain 40 per cent. of the total in each group, aud not less than 20 per cent. in each subject, shall be considered as having passed the examination in these subjects, which therefore will be read first.

3. No candidate shall be allowed to leave the room within one hour of the issue of the examination papers in any subject; and if he then leaves, he shall not be permitted to return during the examination of the subject then in hand.

4. Punctually at the time appointed for the commencement of the examination in each subject, the presiding Examiner will, in the examination room, and in the presence of the candidates, break the seal of the envelope containing the examination papers, and give them at once to the candidates. The papers of only one subject shall be opened at one time.

5. Punctually at the expiration of the time allowed, the Examiner will direct the candidates to stop writing, and will cause them to hand in their answer papers immediately, duly fastened in the envelopes.

6. The Examiner, at the close of the examinations, will sign and forward, with the answers of the candidates, a solemn declaration (in a form to be provided by the Department) that the examinations have been conducted in strict conformity with the Regulations, and fairly and properly in every respect.

7. The Examiner, at the close of the examinations on the 13th of July, will secure in a separate parcel the fastened envelopes of each candidate, and on the same day will forward by express to the Education Office, the package containing all the parcels thus sepa$42,400 rately secured. 8. In schools where separate rooms are occupied at the examina5,000 tion, the Examiner, in his report to the Department, will indicate 10,000 the candidates who were placed in the several rooms respectively. 9. Should any candidate be detected in copying from another, 14,600 or allowing another to copy from him, or taking into the room any books, notes or anything from which he might derive assistance in the examination, or in talking or whispering, it shall be the duty of the presiding Examiner, if he obtain clear evidence of the fact at the time of the occurrence, to cause such candidate at once to leave the room; neither shall such candidate be allowed to enter during the remaining part of the examination, and his name shall be struck off the list. If, however, the evidence of such a case be not clear at the time, or be obtained after the conclusion of the examination, the Examiner shall report the case to the Department.
