" John O'Hanlon seconded the resolutions, resolu-tions, which were unanimously adopted. The Munster Feis. The Munster Feis took an important step in the organization associated with the Gaelic league. It was decided to endeavor to establish a training school for teachers of the Irish language. lan-guage. To such a school branches and district committees of the league could send teachers for instruction. An improving im-proving effect on the methods of teaching Irish all over the country is anticipated. The appointment of a traveling instructor of teachers was also considered. Already an experiment experi-ment has been made in this direction in the west. Recently in the Killala district, dis-trict, although it was the holiday season, sea-son, the instructor had ninety teachers under him. About twenty of them could converse well In Irish and the others had all made more or less progress in both study and oral practice. Teaching Teach-ing in schools by incompetent teachers is more likely to damage than to advance ad-vance the-language movement, especially especi-ally in the Irish-speaking districts. Children badly taught are laughed at by Irish-speaking parents, and become ashamed instead of proud of their newly-acquired knowledge. On the other hand, nothing will give the language such a lift in the Irish-speaking districts dis-tricts as the sight of the teachers themselves them-selves showing an example in the regular regu-lar study of the language, and adding to their Income by the results fees gained by their better equipment. Every fully-qualified teacher of Irish is a flowing spring of Gaelic culture. 1 |
