THE coLORED STATE FAIR.

The negroes Of South Carolina made
their first attempt to hold State Fair
in Columbia last week. When the
matter was first agitated there were
two factions, each desiring to take the
lead in this enterprise. This, OF course,
did not help matters, but on the con-
trary worked against the success OF the
ENTERPRISE. But taken altogether we
think the colored people Of the State
should be encouraged by the effort
i. thev have made and endearor to DO
better next time. The present effort
in some respects was failure, but in
Others, and when all things are con-
sidered, we should say was a success.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, writing under date
of January /, says of this effort in his
summing up:
"The colored State Fair has come
and gone with its side shows and SOL
diers and water queens and other
fakes. There was game or oase tall
between two local teams, drill by the
National Guard squad and the award
ing of the prizes to-day.
Itwas hoped that the combined ad-
vantages of reduced price Of admission
and more propitious weather Would
draw a large crowd to-day, but the
number in attendance was even small
er than yesterday.
1t was very unfortunate for the sue
cess of the enterprise that the spllt
among the managers occurred. But,
of course, the party who lost their
point withdrew from the whole busl-
ness. and with a true dog in the man
GER spirit have done their utmost to
break up the Fair.
This Fair has been in some ways
very remarkable. 1t is the first at
tempt by the colored people of the
State to publicly encourage and centra-
IiZe their various industries; 1t has
shown that colored State Fair can,
with enough work, be made success,
and it will show to outside unpreJ-
udiced critics that the negro in South
Carolina is much better off in many
RESPECTS than our Republican friends
would lead one to think.
This is a time for good resolves, and
the executive committee OF the Co!oreu
Fair should certainly resolve to have
their next show before Christmas,
when money is plentiful and spirits
are good, instead Of during the month
of january, when about the only plen-
tiful commodity is resolves.

III the Teachers Institute we find
the following question and answer:
lis it ever correct to use the expression
1T is me-"
Answered: There are many good
writer's who contend that this torm is
correct. The old rule is that the verb
to he t,k,s the same case after it as be-
fore it; and so if grammar is to be fol-
lowed, "lt is Inc" is wrong.
But if good writers USE 1t, then usage
is an authority for saying it may be
used. We advise the grammatical
forms. The only question for US to
consider is, do usage and custom
make an incorrect EXPRESSION correct?
Ii they do not, then we should not use
it, ifthey do, then any uugrammatical
expression may be used at liberty,
provided educated men make use OF 1t.
If we yield in one instance we may
yield in another. A. X.

Hints for Teaching Spelling,

!. 1t Is we'll to have the words ofthe
lesson carefully copied before being
studied.
.. Combine oral and written spell
ing; written spelling is the more prac-
teal and each pupil has a chance at
every word: oral spelling secures cor
rect pronunciation and Is more III
teresting.
>. Have the pupil to pronounce each
word before spelling it.
+. Keep Il list Of the words commonly
misspelled in the written exercises.
Have them copied by the pupils and
studied until they are thoroughly
learned.
). DO not have common nouns Wit
ten with capital letters.
6. See that the pupils understand
the meaning of words and. that they
can Use them i'll sentences.
:. Have pupils assist in making out
lists Of names of common objects such
for instance as may be seen Oh the
street, in the schoolrOOm, on the farm,
in the church, etc. Let these lists be
copied and carefully studied.
s. Teach the diacritical marks and
the Use of the dictionary.
8. In oral spelling have the pupil
make short pause after each syllable.
Ia written spelling it is also desirable
10 sometimes have all the words dl-
vided into syllables.
~. Never allow a pupil but one trial
ut word; all beyond this is mere CUES
sing.
II. It is well to occasionally dlstate a
paragraph from Il reader or newspaper
and have thcsame written rs an eXer-
else in spelling.
T.. lfihere Is plenty Of blackboard
surface ii is Il good plan TO have part
of the class write the words on the
board rs they are dictated and the
other part Of the class point out the
mistakes.
IL. Occasionally allow the pupils to
choose sides and nave l spelling match.
II. Teach thoroughly a few Of the
most important rules for spelling.
-. Many pupils are deficient III the
spelling of proper names. Names OF
persons and places should receive as
much attention as any other class OF
words.
16. In written spelling the pupils
may exchange papers and mark the
misspelled words. 1t teaches them to
observe closely and will make them
mere careful with their work. The
tea,h her, however, should closel y super,
wise such an exercise and should Often
look over all the papers himself.
The above was taken from the Texas
Journal OF Education, and every teach
er should study the outline and en-
deavor to put it into practice if he has
not already done so. a person may
read poorly, his hand writing may be
almost iIeglble, his composition may
be faulty, but his spelling should be
correct. The old method OF oral spelling
alone does not answer, but must be
combined with the writing exercises to
produce desired results. y. II.
