ton Of the "Outlinc of Analysis" as
presented by Mr.. Root. Several SEN
tences were then proposcdby members

=. ], Moore, Julia L. Peters, Francis 5.
LaPorte, and Messrs. ID. M. DeVore,
G. W. Marsden and Superintendent

Miss Julia E. Peters gave her meth
cd of teaching the Alphabet, as follows:
II select one of the letters, l, for ex-
ample, and explain to pupils how it is
formed, then proceed to form as many
of the other.letters as contain the let
ter ], and proceed to teach all the let
ters by the relation they bear in form
to each other .a
