story of Taylor's about his seeing ghost in

The following are clipped from the
School Journal;
In teaching primary reading the child
must first be taught to recognize printed
and written words. This is not difficult
process with the use Of an object, especi-
ally If the name of the object be familiar
to the child. The forms of the words
should be copied frequently and associ
ated with their proper objects to fix them
in the mind. y small vocabulary thus
obtained will serve as the nucleus for
sentence building. Primary lessons in
reading shoull always be illustrated, at
first with objects, then with drawings
made by the teacher and afterwards with
drawings made by the pupils. Always
remember that reading is a process of
thought getting, and whatever may be
your method of teaching, this end is to
be kept constantly in view. Much of the
oral reading defeats this purpose and IS
radically wrong. A child should never
be asked to read aloud until he has gotten
the thought of the selection and made it
his own.
For variation in reading lessons read
poem or story to the class and have them
reproduce it; pass a history or book of
tales around the class and let the different
members read portions of the selection;
hold picture before the class and have
it described and stories told about it;
make collection of newspapers and have
the pupils read items of telegraphic and
local news; have fables related, and when
ever possible, supply supplementary read
ing. Reading lessons should always be
utilized in language work. One day a
subject can be read and discussed as a
reading lesson and the next day repro.
duced as a composition exercise. The
pictures, also, which illustrate reading
lessons are the very best subjects and out
lines for work IN composition.
For lessons on objects those IN daily
use in the school room, or household Will
be the best to begin with. A lesson on
lead pencil should teach its parts. quail
ties and shape Gan uncut lead pencil may
be used 20 teach the terms cylinder and
cylindrcal), and uses. This in general is
the plan for lessons on all objects. Make
lists of qualities, uses, etc, on the board
as they are given. These should all be
copied by the children into note book
An occasional review may compare two
or three objects,
Silent reading" is one Of many good
plans. Call upon your pupils for con-
trbutlons Of old magazines and papers.
Select from these stories, and all such
matter as is suited to and suitable for
them. They will gladly aid in cutting
out and FASTING or sewing the stories INTO
covers of stiff brown paper The name
of each story should De written on the
cover. 1t should be understood that all
may read when lessons are perfectly
learned, and that a failure in recitation
after a pupil has been reading. forfeits for
him this privilege, for certain length of
time.

there is a suhterranean river, as the fish
caught do not live in the swamp pools

that party sees that the electoral vote of

states which represents what is called the
Solid South. The Republican party has
struggled there to have its rights-not by
the shotgun, not by negro killing nor by

Republican state. 1t has been stolen as be
