Vegetables of all kinds have been
planted and are looking fine. Have
had only about two thirds of the usual
rainfall SO far, but will get the usual
March rains, although we can dispense
with rain until another winter and be
assured of good crops. The apricot

the ertrenle cold winter, the frosts
having injured them to some extent
which will enhance IT, rrice the com.

Missed Words in Spelling.

There is today no question among the
best educators as to the superiority of
| written spelling over oral, when the art
of spelling is the thing TO be attained. 1t
is Just as readily accepted too, that the
preparation of the written spelling lesson
should be written. 1t is a mistake to per-
NIT the pupil to prepare entirely by the
voice and then ask written recitation of
them. There is psychological advan-
tage in letting the character of the recita-
ton correspond to that of the preparation.
OF the abuses of written spelling none
are oftener INDUCED in or more harmful
than careless treatment of "misspelled
words" These sometimes receive no
attention, or are very often dumped into
hasty three-minute consideration just
before school closes for dinner or evening
dismissal. The light impressions of the
corrected words are speedily erased from
the mind by others Of a much pleasanter
nature and the real value of the spelling
lesson is greatly impaired.
From the standpoint of the learner,
the words of spelling lesson can be
divided into three classes, viz: ~ those
words with whose photography he is ia
miliar, (2) the doubtful words and (3l
those entirely new TO him. A spelling
lesson is difficult in degree proportion
ate to the prominence of the second and
third classes, more especially the third
class. 1t is evident that, in the prepare
ton of the lesson, the learner will make
the most progress toward familiarity with
the last two classes Of words and that
most of his missed words, on general
principles, will be from the third class.
The bright pupils will, in the prepare
ton, endeavor to place all the words of
the exercise in the first class-the dull
and careless will not. 1t is the duty of
the teacher to assist the pupil to the COM
plete mastery of these words through the
recitation, when for good reasons he fail
ed to do it in the preparation.
From the standpoint Of the learner,
the words in the recitation are usually di-
! vided into two classes, those he can spell
and those ne can't spell. 1t is sheer folly
to base the whole or nearly the whole re-
citation on the first class and not pay
even "the cold respect ola passing glance"
to the second class. Inasmuch as the
words of the second class have run the
gauntlet of preparation time and still re-
main unfamiliar to the learner, no means
for effecting a complete mastery OF these
words should be Committed. The teacher
who does not recognize this and act to
the best of his ability 70 correct it, is I'M
faithful to his trust and deserves censure.
Then keep an eye on the laissed words.
Keep a record of them and often review
them. Do not consider your work COM
plete until you have no missed words.
When you have fully impressed upon the
minds of your pupils that the work can
not, must not cease IS long as there are
missed words, you will have done thai
which entities you to great credit.

The diploma papers are coming in rap
idly. There is a marked improvement
over last year in scholarship and general
appearance of the papers. As we inspect
these papers the conclusion is forced
upon us that our schools, in many places.
are admirably performing their proper
function. and that the true secret lies in
the fact that there are some grandly en-
thusiastic teachers at the bottom. The
work is an admirable criterion for ascer-
tanning exactly the power of the teacher
in the school-room.
