£8 - REPORT OF RECORDING SECRETARY 
Mr. Witton then introduced the lecturer of the evening, 
Prof. A. H. Abbott, of Toronto University. 
By a series of illustrations the learned lecturer endea- 
vored to show the audience what modern psychology is 
trying to find out in relation to the process of thinking. 
The lecture was one of particular interest to the teach- 
ing profession, and at its close led to a very valuable dis- 
cussion in which Inspector J. H. Smith, Rev. J. J. Morton, 
and other gentlemen, engaged. A hearty vote of thanks 
was accorded Prof. Abbott by Inspector Smith, seconded 
by Mr. W. A. Robinson, and, as the hour was late, the 
discussion regarding the revising of the regulations of the 
society was postponed until the next meeting.
