For the Snv.
The Phonetic Exhibition.

t 1he EhOnetic Exhibition.
AT the exhibition of scholars, lately made in
the Hall ofthe House of Representatives, speech.
es were made by Speaker Banks, and several
other gentlemen present. Rev. Hubbard Wins
low, IN his remarks, stated, as the result of his
observation, that he believed that saving oftwo
years IN the education of every child, might be
made by the Introduction of the Phonetic system
INTO common school education. Mr. Walker.
Secretary of the Commonwealth, who followed
MIR Winstow, said that if the fact stated by the
Rev. gentleman was true, and he had no doubt
OF 1t, the INTRODUCTION fthe new system into COM
mon schools, was one of vast Importance There
are, said he, by the returns made TO the Board Of
Education, 1894 scholars in our common
schools. If each one may save two years, then
to each generation there will be a saving of near
100000 years of time, and of time too, the most
important of human life. the period of education.
1t such saving could be made, how many other
valuable studies might be introduced, and how
much might the standard Of common school edu-
cation be elevated! And, ifsuch results might
be attained in Massachusetts, with her 200 900
children, how important to the United States with
its 100000 Of children! 1t were undoubtedly
an arduous matter to revolutionize the printed
attained abundantly sufficient to justify all the la
bour and expense it might cost?
A deeper impression in relation both to the feas-
ibliy and importance of the Phonetic reform,
seemed TO be made at this meeting, than at any
other we have ever attended.
