Do the children Of the present day apprs-
Chats tneir good fortun In being OF the
present dayl For they are extremely
Fortunate; Of that there can b no doubt.
In their very primers are pretty little pict-
ures, that are prepared 70 give them just
and discriminating views On wood snxrav-
ing before they have gottsn through words
Of one syllable. Don't some Of the older
ones remember the four illustrations THAI
gave such pleasant interest to the old
blue back spellerl That same blus spellsr
that teasing statisticians used to calculats
would 60 al around the world, IL put TO-
gether lengthwtse. and leave some t. tie In
bow knot At the other side.
Those poor little innocsnts who stood
up in rows with their hands behind thsm
and spelled long columns OF words that had
no meaning to them, would ~ rule, havs
been willing to contribute their ultramar-
inc copies to Engineering the losps of that
knot

good end, were the only cases in that drsary
waste Of woris. but even for tho one was

and morality, Of the short ataleP which ac-
companisd them Now small children are
taken into q beautiful fowsry mead OF
