Rice IN his conclusion that maturity is
the leading factor in learning to spell,
aud that the method plays only sub
ordinate part. | am sure that the

while calculated to make II few s0nor-
mally good spoilers, never produced
higher general averages than are OBJ
tanned by the more rational methods
of to-day, when spelling Is taught
largely in connection with elementary
science aud language work,
