tablished, the following Of which must
lead to satisfactory results.
l. In place of memoriziug and giving
their letters and syllables orally. the
hand must be trained to produce cor
rect word-forms. and the eye to recog.
nize them promptly.
:. The words must be within the
comprehension Of the pupil, or within
his possible mental grasp.
3. Each word must stand out as q
whole, and its written form be i'm.
pressed on the mind, before an ANALYSIS
Of 1t IL m ,de into letters and sounds,
(oral spelling.)
Oral spelling teaches how . word
should be spelled by naming the let
tiers. Written spelling spells the word.
It Is more important that . child spell
correctly than know how to spell. Ono
that knows how to spell ''hear." and
who can with ease glibly name the let
tiers, sh-e-a-r,' often writes it 'h-e-r-e.
Hansell's primary speller ought to
be introduced in all of our country
schools. 1t solves in an easy and at
tractive manner the problem Of teaching
children how to spcll-theory and
practice combined. BY its means chill
dren are taught to read script (How
many pupils in the lst and I'd readers
can read the script in their readers?)
how to write, to compose neat and cor
rect sentences, aud to spell, the eye,
ears, memory and hand being trained .,
the same time; system far superior t.

on West Pearl River, the occasion
being the removal Of the remains Of
Mrs. Roxana b. Crary, (who was
the mother Of Mrs. Sadler,) to the
old graveyard near Pearl River
Station, where it was laid beside her
husband, the late Francis w. Sad
Ter.
Aside from the sadness of the &C.
casion the party enjoyed the trip
very much, and was delighted With
the many aud varied attractions Of
that once renowned "Apple Pie
RIDGE where the orange trees
flourished, and live oaks. covered
with the beautiful Spanish moss,
with the aroma Of the magnolia.
made it one Of sylvan loyelipess.

THE SUGGESTION
ENDORSED.

The recent suggestion Of Hon. A.
D. Lafargne in regard to the crea-
tiou Of q State Board Of Examiners
Tor the purpose Of passing upon
the fitness and qualification Of oil
persons applying for situations in
the schoole in the State, has been
received with favor BY many staunch
friends Of education. and We are
glad to note that several OF the
best papers Of the State are now
discussing the question and endors-
ing the suggestion.
We believe that parish school
boards, - = rule, are honest. The
members composing such boards
are generally selected on account
OF the interest displayed in educa-
tional matters, and it is our opinion
that few OF the boards in the State
Of Louisiana could be improved.
However, the old saying, ''Blood Is
thicker than water" often suggests
itself to taxpayers when the school
session opens and teachers are
selected. Charges of partially
Eve are glad to say that no such
charge has ever bean preferred
against the present Iberville board }
are made, and sometimes upon
good grounds.
The creation of = State Board OF
Examiners would remove from the
list Of applicants those whose only
claim for positions are relationship
or personal friendship. and this
alone would be = long stride for
ward.
At the next convention of the
Parish Superintendent We hope
the question will be thoroughly
discussed and efforts made to Sc
cure = State Board of Examiners

LIBERTY SETTLEMENT
SCHOOL QUESTION.
Editor St. Tammany FARMER:

6UltOI Oh xSWm8uy AKMEk:
In reply to Mr.. J. J. Biery's
complaint Of last week. in regard
to there being no public school es-
tabl,shed in the Liberty Settlement,
will state that / am unable 10 see
why the people Of the above Set
Element claim to be deprived of a
public school. They are located
between two school houses. These
houses are just about four miles
apart, both Of which have = public
term of school each year.
Being well acquainted with the
Liberty Settlement, and the loca-
ton of the public schoo houses, l
am prepared to say that I am GER
tain that none Of the people of the
above Settlement have over two
miles to send their children to .
public school.
1t is q 6eplorable fact that those
who send to the private school in
the Liberty Settlement are no over
one and one half niles from the
Camp Ground, where is now being
. public school taught, and 1 am
certain that the children Of the
above Settlement are perfectly vel
come to attend.
No. 1t Is not through any preju-
dice that the School Board fails to
recognize the demand of . few, and
locate public school in tue above
Settlement, where it would benefit
only q few. and deprive . large
number entirely OF the advantages
Of public school.
I am sorry, indeed, that the PEG
pie Of Liberty Settlement feel that
they are not justly recognized by the
School Board, for l am certa n tia,
it is not the design Of the Board to
debar any one of the benefits oi
the public schools. l am certain
that it is the aim of the Board "a
distribute the public school funds
to tie best advantage possible.
Mr.. BieIy forgets, or rather
ignores, the fact that to move the
public school into the Liberty Set
Element, would debar a large mum.
Der Of . public school entirely, fol
there are some who are now send.
ing to the Camp Grounds, . dis.
lance of three miles, while there
are others who have quite as far il
not farther to send. Ard to move
the s.-hool into Liberty Settlement
would still make it q mile farther.
What! Shall We deprive this large
number of children entirely of the
privilege Of . public school, t.
crafty the whims Uf . few? Jus
tice forbids. 1t would be entirely
wrong to discommode SO many fol
the qualification of SO few.
l am perfectly willing 10 leave
this matter in the full charge Of tie
School Board, and l am sure that
they will do the right thing about it.
