1t is an actual fact that whenever Mr..

not when the warehouses are piled full of

CHOOSING SIDES FOR THE SPELLING MATCH.
ported by no statistics, but the fact re-
mains that we do not study spelling as
we used to, and if we don't study il
how are we ever to know how to spelli
The spelling book, as we once knew it,
is unknown to the schoolchildren Of to-
day. 1t has been banished from the
classroom by modern educators.
The spelling class has gone by the
board too. You remember that spelling
class, don't you? When it was called,
we all took the places which we had
gained by our previous prowess, boys
and girls together, ranged in long line
with the blackboard for background.
Then the teacher read out the words of
the days lesson. No. 1 got the first
word, No. 2 the second, and so on, un-
less the shrewd instructor picked them
out at haphazard. When he didn't take
this advantage of us, the farsighted
scholars who had learned only the words
which they could figure as coming to
them came off with flying colors,
This was only one Of the strategies Of
the spelling class. There were others,
and one especially, which probably ev-
cry boy has practiced. You remember
how, when you missed word and the
boy or girl below you spelled it correctly,
you had to "go down one" Then,
when you triumphed over some one who
had failed, you "went up one." Well,
there was little black eyed girl in my
class. Her name was Rosie and some
how the name has always seemed a
sweet one to me. / suppose I used more
strategy in order to get a place next in
line to Rosie and to keep it than about
anything else connected with my gram
mar school days. 1t was a problem that
required thought, and I gave it cheer
fully.
Unfortunately Rosie was not very
good at spelling, and there was only one
place in the line where l was reasonably
certain of being able to give her plump
little hand an occasional sly squeeze.
That place was just below Rosie. If
she missed a word, why, missed it,
too, unless it was such palpable blum
der that l couldn't do it without expos
ing my tactics. Then would spell it
right and go above her, but took good
care to make amends for the mortifica-
tion l caused her by missing the next
word and letting Rosie resume her old
place.
Matters were complicated when my
best chum, Jack, also took liking to
Rosie and assumed the place in line just
above her. But although he had many
other advantages over me / was the bet
ter strategist, for l ousted him by wait
ing until Rosie missed and planting
myself between them. Both Jack and l
moved away and lost sight of each other
md Rosie as well, but I'll venture to
say that if he is alive today he remem-
bers those spelling lessons as we'll as l.

THE FIRST TO MISS.

taught at all, written spelling exercises.
Up to date instructors claim that the
oral method was a great mistake and a
waste of effort. Some even contend that
spelling is learned by the eye; that it is
the picture of the way the word looks
and not the sound on which the memory
takes the better hold. That may be so.
But the worst is yet TO come. The old
fashioned spelling match is almost q
thing of the past. So near is it to pags-
ing away entirely that it is time its
requiem was written. Only in remC te
rural districts does it survive at a. /.
Occasionally it is revived at church
sociable or similar gathering, but as
rule these revivals are mere burlesuues
Of the originals.
There was plenty of fun mixed up
with the old spelling match, but it fl
tered in incidentally. The spelling was
done in all seriousness. It was an ortho-
graphic joust in which the clowns were
not allowed in the field, but were ban
ished outside the ropes. Generally the
event took place in the schoolhouse, but
sometimes the scene was laid in the
town hall The preliminaries were few
and simple, The schoolmaster was gen
rally selected TO "giye out" the words.

matches, and graybeards often stood
