Teach Spelling From the Blackboard.

Teach Spelling From the Blackboard.
A revival of the old fashioned spelling
school has been tried in some localities,
but only to prove that it does not, as q
rule, reach the poor spoilers. They stay
away from it-they are not wanted in q
spelling match. The spelling school was
for the glorification of the good spoilers.
It did something, no doubt, for depraved
brain cells before such mysteries were
ever heard Of in connection with spell
ing books - before PHYSICAL inertia
could be charged to weak valvular heart
action, and ugly tempers to microbes,
and all the rest. The spelling school be-
longs to a past dispensation, says my
friend, but it suggests what might dc
much for photography, if the blackboard
were made a conspicuous feature and
the attention concentrated upon the
reading and writing of sentences, Of
which the following might be an exam.
pie: "Mr. Wright, the wheelwright,
does not write rite rightly" with help
full stories occasionally like that of the
teacher who wrote upon the board the
three words, "Boys, bees, BEAR" asking
the children to construct and write q
sentence in which these words would be
used intelligently, one boy giving al
once, Boys bees bear when they goes
in swimming. Jane Marsh Parker in
North American Review.

Argentine Railroads.

In the Argentine Republic the service
Of trains is appallingly irregular, chief
ly owing to the bad state of the perma-
nent way, which, when once laid, is
left to take care of itself. The perma-
nent way in some parts of the line is in
such a dilapidated condition that aA-
most every train is thrown off the rails.
This astounding fact is contained in q
recent report Of the railway concerned.
The rate Of travelling, too, is astonish-
ing. At one spot, ON a go as you please
local line, no train ever travels taste,
than %. miles per hour. One may vary
the monotony of the journey by getting
out and taking quiet stroll along the
line, or stopping to pick up pretty flow
ers. There is no fear that the train will
catch you up.-Harper's Round Table.
