LEARNING TO SPELL.

Maturity and Not Method Said to BE the
Leading Factor.
Believing that the most rational
method of determining what our
teachers might be expected to ac-
complish would lie in discovering
what results the more successful
ones had been able to obtain, l ven
tured to undertake a series of re-
searches which 1 hoped might serve
as an initial step toward bringing
this problem to a solution. The
material presented in the present
article is intended to show what our
teachers have accomplished in spell
ing, and what therefore may be rea-
sonably demanded of our schools
on this subject. The traditional
standard in spelling is perfection.
But this standard is unreasOna bic
and consequently cannot be too soon
abandoned.
My researches in spelling were
made in the form of tests, the num-
Der of children examined reaching
nearly 1000. My first test consist
ed of column of so words, the sec
ond of words in sentences and the
third of spelling as found i'll compO-
sitions. On directing our attention
to the results of these tests we are
confronted by number of interest
ing phenomena. The most striking
of these are: First, that in the vast
majority of instances the results are
very close. In Is of the 81 schools
where test was made the averages
on the second test were from 73. 3 to
779. Second, while the results in
the lower grades of different schools
showed considerable variation, those
in the eighth year classes, which rep
resent the end of he school course,
were remarkably even. In ~ of
II eighth year grades the aver
/ ages were from S4 to IS, and in il
of total of 20 sets of eighth grade
compositions examined for spell
ing the variations were only three
tenths of per cent, the results ly-
ing between 90 and 99.4.
These figures become doubly re
markable when we consider that
the 81 schools not only represent in
stitutions in many sections of ouI
country, but that in addition they
are samples of schools conducted
under all conceivable conditions
Further, from a pedagogical stand
point, all varieties of schools are in
cluded, some of them belonging t
the most mechanical, while Others
are among the most progressive il
our country.
Do not these results indicate tha
in learning TO spell maturity is the
leading factor, while method play:
only a subordinate part2 And, il
the superiority of the old fashioned
spelling grind cannot be demOnstrat
ed, is it not our duty to save tn,
child from this grind1 Moreover
as the results prove that beyond ,
certain minimum the compensation
for time devoted to spelling j
scarcely if at all appreciable, hav
we not here discovered an elemen
Of waste, which, if eliminated
would open the way to an equal en-
richment of the course of stud.
