lNTERES TING TO TEACHERS,
Coneerning u Novel Plan for
Teaching Reading.

A teacher in an Akron school has in
vented new plan of teaching little
children to read. This plan has the
advantage that it at once awakeus the
little pupils curiosity and consequent.
ly secures their Interest. The teacher
prepares on slips of cardboard some
word which may be made the prin.
cipal one In q short sentence, a., for
instsnce, 'dog." The word Is written
and printed upon the slip so that the
pupil may learn the elements of pen
manship with reading and spelling.
The scholars are taught to read, spell,
and write this word until they have
learned it thoroughly. and then an
other slip with the word 1.-THE" upon 1t
meaning, use, and relation. Then the
pupils are taught other words In the
same way and are taught to put the
words together to make sentences.
Thus in each new word that comes up
the scholar ia interested and his interest
IL preserved all through.
The plan, then, It will be seen,
possesses the following points of
superiority: First, 1t presents sue
cessiOn of surprises, which, of course,
Awakens the first requisite of successful
teaching, mental activity; secund 1t
gives the children something to do
while Mt the same time they are un.
consciously acquiring fre-h knOw
ledge; third, il assists them In q correct
expression, breaking up the habit Of
m0nosyllsble replies: fourth, IT
advances the pupils much more rapid
ly aud more:thoroughiy than by the old
method, doing IN probaly one half
the time the work of many weary
months.
