the pedagoRue did not usually know their
value, and discouraged talking about them
as frivolity that would mislead the mind
from the stern business in hand. One OF
the greatest improvements in the primary
reading books is the more perfect grading,
that smooth and imperceptible passing to
something more difficult, so that the child
is not every once In a while brought up
against some almost insurmountable bar
rier. One great characteristic of all these
new methods seems to be that they inter-
est the scholar and draw him on In ac.
cordance with his own will, and thus spare
hin the necessity of being driven.
What is known Az the phonic system, or
teaching the frat steps in reading. Is a
modern idea, and is thought by some to
be an absurd theory. The child, in the

How The President Fishes.

The s'Chum" spread out. over the
water and did its alluring work quick
Iy. The sharp eyes of the baymen
angling commenced. The President
honored Izaak Walton in the way he
did it. He tucked the short rod be-
tween his knees. took the hook up ten
derly, and neatly concealed it's cruel
barb in tempting chunk of ''chum. "
Then he poised the rod lightly, swung
it twice swiftly, and gently tossed the
baited hook far out over the stern.
1t settled and grew taut, and look
of peace came over the Presidents
face. His eyes became fixed on the
spot where the ripple wove itself about
the line, and he held the pole fixedly
immovable. The duplex portion of his
chin quivered TREMENDOUSLY as the boat
vibrated; but his hand was unshaken.
The enterprising reporters scudded
about in catboais, but the President
did not mind them. His eyes rested
only on the ripple about his line.
In little time little bluefish be-
gan gnawing at the Presidential hook,
and if a bluetish can be regretful, this
one soon had occasion to be. There
was a deft turn of the Presidents arm,
"a brief saving and plunging down the
deep, and then a bluefish that looked a
two-pounder was yauked over the
stern. The President took it by the
back of the neck, put thumb and fore
finger alongside its gills, with proper
pressure induced it to open its mouth,
carefully extracted the hook, chucked
the bluetish into the general receptacle,
and then went through the previously
detailed process again.
A glad light shone in his eyes as he
did it,and the peaceful look on his face
widened into glow of content that
staid with Brooklyn Eagle.
