CORRECT PRONUNCIATION.
Teaching the Teachers How to
Pronounce Correctly.

Mr.. Jacob II. Sides, Principal of the
Belmont Grammar school, was assigned
the duty of illustrating correct prOnun-
Citations by prOuounCIug fifteen words.
Being allowed hut fifteen minutes time,
the gentlemen was only able 10 Strug-
yle with thirteen words, winch are ire
uucntlv misprOnOunced even among
those who have been literally educated.
IL i charitable % supposed that the errors
committed 10y this class are the result OF
carrlcsSncSs rather than ignorance.
The words pronounced by Mr.. Sides
were in this order: Pronunciation,
which should be pronounced aSllspelIed
pro nun-She-d association should he
prununcrd Us ii the third syllable were
spelled she, instead Of a., with the ac-
cent on the last a.
Il WAS surprised remarked Mr..
Sides. Ito hear the word 50 universally
misprun0unccd by the members OF the
Teachers National Convention, which
met recently in this city The word
telcsraphy should be- pronounced t.
Lni-ra-phv, not tcl-c-JWly. Squalor,
frequently pronounced "Squoller,
should receive the long sound Ola, Is IN
mate-SVua-lur. Thcwurd vagJry should
br divided into three SyllablcS, ya,ga-rv,
with the acrent on the "a in the second
syllable. In recess the accent TAILS on
the last syllable, and it proEounccdre-
cfs. The 20 in government IS too often
omitted, rs the word is pronounced g1r-
crment Enervatc Is pronounced e.
hfr-vatc, not tH-cryate. lndlSputable Is
pronounced both in.dsputablc AMI in
dis-pu-tablr. hut the former mode OF
pronunciation Is the correct one. The
word isolate SHOULD hc pronounced Is
ISOLATE, the rs i'm mate, not isolate.
Allopathy is pronounced al-ldp-a-thy,
not allo-yu'i-y. Rise, when noun Is
pronounced rice. but when a verb is
pronounced rizr. The last word referred
10 by the cNpo,itorot correct pronuncia-
ton was laugh, which created cuusidcra-
bile nrrrimcut. So much that thhc listen
