Mr.. WARDLAw-Dear Sir: In re.
sponse to your request that some teacher
would give her views as to the relative
merits of the Word and Phonic, and
the Alb. G. methods of teaching begin
ners. I would say that I have used
the former method for nine years and
consider it fsr superior to the latter. It
not only renders the early lessons of the
child more interesting to him, but enables
him to read with much greater ease and
expression.
With regard to the method of teach.
ing script before print, I cannot speak so
confidently, not having fully tested it, and
find some diversity of opinion on the
subject among our best educators. Mrs.
Rebecca Kickoff, to whom ne are indebt.
ed for our invaluable Reading Chart,
says: "To simplify as much as possible
the child's first lessons, and to avoid
crammiDg, with its dazzling results, the
reading of script should not be under
taken until the child has had considerable
practice in reading print. Then the
reading of script follows naturally, and,
if introduced with proper regard to the
use Of known words and sounds, thus
presenting to the child but the one diff
Guilty of learning the new kinds of letters,
becomes an easy and novel exercise in
which he has the pleasure and stimulus
of rapid progress
On the other hand, there are many
who hold that script should be taught
before print, and I think the adoption Of
this method in so many of our city
schools is conclusive evidence of it's mer-
it.
In the country schools, however, there
are some difficulties to contend with
which are not felt in those in the city
The shortness of the public tern
and the lrregularlty OF attendance, rem
der it desirable that the child should
learn to use his book in the shortest time
possible, for if he does not it will b'
thought that he is learning nothing ant
the absence of Reading Charts in so many
of our schools, makes the use of th'
blackboard necessity. So ne are almost
forced to combine the teaching of scrip
and print, giving the word upon the boart
in script and teaching the child to recog
nize it in his book.
I do not know that this method is il
general use, but it is the one that I have
adopted as the best for economizing tim
nd keeping the class interested. If ther,

1t was the fortune of the writer, an up
countrymsn, to live in Sumter County
last year, and he was much interested in
noticing several expressions, peculiar to
the people there, that he had never heard
before. A few are given: A boy never
says, "throaO me the ball T. but "chunA
me the ball" How this expression
originated the writer does not know, but
this is working hypothesis: it is inn
possible to find rock in that place, so
when boy wishes to throw st a bird he
must pick up chunk aud throw it. One
is compelled to throw chunks instead Of
stones, 80 when he wishes something

Wfseonsin's Outrageous Gerrymaader.


Senator Villas presented last Thurs
day a joint resolution of the Wiscon-
sin legislature in favor of the election
OF senators by a vote of the people.
One of the "whereases" reads thus:
WHEREAS, The experience Of recent
years has demonstrated thenecesslty
of a change in the manner of electing
senators if that body is to continue
to represent the conservative public
sentiment.
This resolution should have been
accompanied by the legislative ap
portionment act passed by the same
legislature. That law would be the
strongest argument in behalf Of the
change asked for by the joint resolu-
ton, for it would show how the pres
ent system Of electing senator's can be
perverted by an unscrupulous parti-
san body, SO that the person chosen
will not represent the sentiment of
majority OF the voters, but of a mi
norjty.
No legislative body on the continent
has shown such amazing hypocrisy as
the general assembly of Wisconsin.
In one short session it passed this
Joint resolution asking congress to
give the people a more direct partici-
nation in the choice of a senator, and
also an apportionment act which
transferred the election of a senator
from majority of the voters to a
minority CHICAGO Tribune
