An American woman who crossed the ocean not long go was much puzzled by the conduct of her ''sta- ble companion. Each day this in dividual, typical London cockney would approach the woman and ask If she would mind keeping out of the stateroom during a certain hour. Each day, too, the American woman consented 10 So absenting herself, though she wondered much what the stable companion could be up to with such regularity. At last curi- osity was too much for the Ameri- can. and she boldly asked the Lon doner what she wanted with the stareroorn for a whole hour every day. "Ob. it's my hact was the answer; Just my hact, that's all. You see. I'm a contOruOnist, an I'm comin hover ere to perform in one of the music 'aIls, an I as to do my hact hevery day for fear I'll get out of practice. It's just my hact, that's all. New York Sun.

LEARNING TO SPELL.
Maturity and Not HsethOd sait Bs th.
 IAadinw Facfor.

Leading EAct0r.
 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, ven tured to undertake a series of re searches which I 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 req sonably demanded of our schools on this subject. The traditional standard in spelling is perfection But this standard is unreasona ble and consequently cannot bs too so0T abandoned.
 My researches in spelling were made in the form of tests rhe mum Der of children examined reaching nearly S3, GOO. My first test consist cd of a column of 50 words, the seU ond of words in sentences and the third of spelling as found in compo sitions. On directing our attention, 10 the results of these tests we art confronted by a number of interest ing phenomena The most striking of these are: First, that in the vasi majority of instances the results aTt very close. In Is of the 21 school where test was made the average on the second test were from =. 3 t' 77.9. Second, while the results ir the lower grades of different school showed considerable variation, thoz, in the eighth year classes, which rep resent the end of the school course. were remarkably even-E In 12 op F eighth year grades the avcI ages were from S4 to SS, and in r of a total of 20 sets of eighth grad compositions examined for spell ing the variations were only three tenths of 1 per cent, the results ly ing between 99.1 and 99.4.
 These figures become doubly re markable when we consider tha the 21 schools not only represent ir stitutions in many sections of oI country, but that in addition theN are samples of schools conducted under all conceivable conditions Further, from a pedagogical staI.6 point, all varieties of schools are in cluded, some of them belonging f: the most mechanical, while other are among the most progressive il our country.
 Do not these results indicate tha in learning to spell maturity is tn, leading factor, while method play only a subordinate parti And, il the superiority of the old fashioned spelling grind cannot be demonstrat ed, is it not our duty to save thi child from this grindl Moreover as the results prove that beyond a certain minimum the compensation for time devoted to spelling is scarcely if at all appreciable, have we not here discovered an element of waste, which, if eliminated, would open the way to an equal en richment of the course of study without detriment to the formal branchesi-Dr. j.
