The senate committee on elections
recently reported an amendment to
the constitution for the election Of
senators by direct vote OF the people,

probable. Should the senate decide to

TEACHING BY PHoNOGRAPH.
A Curious and Clever scheme or New

Many novel projects have been de.
siscd in the way of language teaching
but never until just lately has the
phonograph been made part of the out

iiffcult at first to see how this nstru.

kind, but thereon hangs the tale. The
