all who tried to read it and failed to read
it again. Should 70 one in the class sue
ceeJ in reading it correctly, you may then

become apxieas to know how it should be
read and when pupils become desirous
of knowledge, il is proper to let them
have it; they will then remember what is
said. ~ fa m

it is spelled, after which require all to
spell it who failed. This may be done ir
concert. -.-.a
