THINKS BRANNAN
WAS POISONED

Patrick Brannan a blacksmith, II years
of age, died at his residence, Cedar
avenue, last night, under circumstances
that led his wife to suspect he had been
given poison by mistake at Smiths drug
store. :,
Druggist Smith, who put up the pre-
scription, knows nothing of the case what
ever. He says the prescription from Dr.
Kingla was sent to him and he followed
1t strictly. He is positive that no such
mistake as giving morphine for bismuth
could have taken place, as he has always
used the greatest care in handling poisons
of all kinds. His opinion, like that of
DR.. Kingla, is that the man died from
natural causes, fastened perhaps by mis-
age.

Inspector Dockery arrested one of the
most pernicious nuisances of the commu-
nity-a spurious butter-maker-on October
rs. His prisoner, Fred Rexinger, was
liberated yesterday, the charge against
him having been dismissed. A prison cell
will, however, fall to Rexinger again this
morning, as Dockery proposes to swear
to another charge which will hold water
and which will in all probability result in
the conviction of the accused The charge
yesterday was dismissed before Judge
Low upon the advice of the prosecuting
attorney who believed that the complaint
was a little defective.

Civilized man leads an unnatural and an

There is no need for the child to learn

The teacher must eliminate all the use
less things that hinder and prevent
the child from learning. Give the
child the blackboard Do not let them
copy. Oral reading is reading. per Sc.
1t Is often an agOnizing task The
reading itself is imagery and IS a
means TO the end. Oral reading is
speech.
Mrs. Parker said that in nature there
was no classification between a vowel
and a cOnsOnant. The classification is
made by us. This was in the discussion
Of the Bell vocal table. She said the
diacritIcaI marks in the dictionary are
confusing. The Bell table is a valu-
able key to the dictionary. The table
represents fourteen sounds. Any child
can learn them. Mrs. Parker advised
the use of the old jingles, as Peter
Piper, TO assist in articulation. In all
the exercises, she said, the more IN
consciously the child can do a thing
the better for the child. By calling the
attention of the child to a defect in
speech, or walk, or habit. untold mis-
cry is inflicted. Make the correction
by teaching them in some way with
out letting them perceive that they
are being taught or corrected.

Parker uses ais the basis of vocaliza-

BELLS VOCAL TABLE.

Col. Parker said in his second lecture
that there is pernicious habit of MAX
ing the child a trick child or a perform
er. 1t is now the belief that precOc1ty
has come to be regarded as a mental
defOrmity. The mothers should see that
the desideratum is the development of
the child into a healthy, moral, intel
ligent human being. Some children
are a great deal slower than others
but that is not necessarily a discredit
to the child. The precocity is due to
fever in the brain which eXcites it
to unusual effort. A continuation OF
this fever produces a wreck in the
end.
Helplessness is often induced by
teaching. Let the child alone, said
Col. Parker. Let him work out his
problems. The truly intelligent child
wishes to solve his own questions
There are truly dull children. There
is always some physical reason for
this and it should be carefully treated.
Wait for the child. He said that
teaching a vocabulary simply for bu1id-
ing up a collection of words which
might be used some time in the fu-
ture is a pernicious one. Only the
words that are necessary should be
taught or learned The child, the hui
man being, never does anything with
out a motive The kind of motive is
the stimulus to his life. Oral reading
may be made an obstruction, mere
mechanical pronunciation Of words
The child should image in his own
way and should read according to his
imagery. Emphasis can never be
taught child. In talking, the child
never makes a mistake in emphasis.
