LECTURE BY saERVlH cspi
An Outline Of the Work for the Eight
Grades OF the Public
Schools.

Sherwin Cody, author OF 'The Art
of Writing and Speaking the English
Language" and Of a variety OF
school textbooks throughout the cOun-
try, recently made an announcement
of the. drill work for teachers In bust
ness English which he expects soon
to organize under the auspices OF
Northwestern, University in Chicago,
to a gathering OF city principals at
the teachers assembly room at the
city hall at Minneapolis and delivered
a short address on the methods of
teaching business English.
Mr.. Cody said in part:
whatever the business man wants
it is not any more drill in writing
those formal business letters, couch,
ed in that horrible commercial jargon
that business men nearly all affect
Various books of model business let,
tiers, taken from actual business cor
respondence, have been compiled fol

colleges and every one that 1 have
seen is the finest collection of errors
almost against which the educated
business man should protest. }..

Irregular Words Memorized.
"The three or four thousand COM
mon irregular wards which form
the majority of those words we use
every day must be memorized; but
this study Of principles works out as
a memory system, concentrating the
attention on the catchy points. In
my word study book have arranged
a version, of the story Of Robinson
Crusoe SO as to contain 500 common
words often mispelled, and have pro-
vided it with notes end questions on
the principles of word formation and
on the irregularities, 80 that the pupil
will form the habit Of looking for ir-
regularities. This should be copied
direct from the book. written by our
simple phonetic system, and written
from dictation, till every pupil can
spell correctly every word IN 1t. =
There could be no greater folly
than printing in pairs the words pro
nounced alike but differing in spell

be studied In connection with their
meaning only, distinction Of pairs be
made only when confusion actually
exists In a pupils mind. give in my
book list Of these words with simple
quotations containing them. should
write five or six on the board each
day and ask pupils to form sentences
using the words correctly. II this
method Is followed out persistently
this bugbear in spelling will largely
disappear.
What we lack in the schools are
interesting books on elementary sub
jects for older pupils. The drill or
the elements must be continued to the
end; but It cannot be handled with old
er pupils by using childish books they
have outgrown. If we could only
keep drilling our older pupils ON the
elements, l believe that the faults
which SO irritate the business men
would be largely overcome"

Relationship Of Words.
If you can form In a pupil the habit
of following the logical relationship
Of words in sentence, that habit will
make him a master of practical gram
mar.
If you can form the habit of read
ing simple but good literature, STAN
dard models of effective rhetorical
expression, and trying to initiate as
Franklin did what is read, that habit
will give even the dullest something
like style. Mere rules and formula
have little practical effect. \ But sthe
natural instinct of the youngest child
may be cultivated successfully.
81 should like to give you brief
outline Of my method Of teaching
spelling. It isn't all theory, either,
for 1 have spent a great deal Of time
studying the situation in schools anu
in the compilation Of several spelling
books.
II should begin In the first grade
and unite the word method Of teach:
ing reading w4rh a training Of the ear
to observe the fundamental sounds
Of the language in detail as well Al
the complete words. I should do this
by contrast-the long sound Of q vow
eli with short, b with p, etc. should
use no diacritical marks. 9s''0f
II should continue this in the zee
lond grade, still using no dlacritica1
marks, but combining the work to the
voice Of the teacher. This study Of
the elementary sounds Of the langu
age should lead to the spelling of the
words regularly formed, even in pre-
ference to common words that are moi
regularly formed. And to the mas
terry of such fundamental principles
as the relation of silent e at the enc
of a. word to the long vowel sound.
I'm the third grade should intro
duce only those diacritical marks re
! quired to give each of the forty-twt
sounds of the language a simple rep
resentative; and this work should b<
30 conducted as to prepare the way
for the regular use of the dictionary
in the fourth grade. Also in the thirt
grade | should teach one at time
the various irregular substitutes fol
simple sounds. By the beginning d
the fourth grade a pupil should have
a pretty clear idea as to the difference
between a regularly formed word ant
one 1rregularly formed; and he shoult
be taught to pply the regular prin
ciples of word-formation to any and
every strange word he comes to. i

BosToN, July 18.-At the conclusion OF

case this afternoon. Judge Harmon an
nounced that no more testimony would be
taken until fall. Mrs. A. W. Erickson, wife
Of the grandson Of the testator, was the
only witness examined to-day. An effort
is being made by relatives to prevent the
probating of will executed short time
before Mr., Wentworth's death. on the ground
that he was of unsound mind.
This will leaves the greater part of the es-
tate of $7,OO0O 900 to charities and cuts off the
daughter and grandchildren with only a
few thousands The relatives desire to
probate a previous will, by which they get
the greater part, OF the fortune. Mrs.
Erickson testified that unsoundness Of
mind was demonstrated when Mr.. Went
worth used to sit in his library and sand
paper his face hands and head, remarking
with satisfaction:
MY skin is as smooth as iron"
HE used to put cheese in his ice cream
and salt, sugar and pepper on all the fruit
he ate, said Mrs. Erickson. He put broth
and matted milk in the same bottle and took
it to town to drink for lunch. He called
his son-n-law, W. II. Stuart, whelp and
an Engishman. He frequently got angry
with him, and said that Stuart was his
enemy, and was trying. to ruin him by
signing SO many notes
Stuart was the British Vice Consul here
and is now in an asylum. Mrs. Erickson
also said that Mr.. Wentworth prescribed
sand for headaches. He did not like to
ink whiskey because, preserving animals,
it would preserve his stomach. He called

ATTACK ON EUPHRATES COLLEGE
Turkish Government Arrests q Professor

Turkish Government Arrests q Professor
Our Government Asks why.
BosToN, July is.-The State Department
is in correspondence with the Turkish
Government with reference to the arrest
OF Prof Tepekijian Of Euphrates College,
Harpoot, according to letter received by
DIR. Barton Of the American Board in reply
to one he addressed to the Department
asking the Intervention Of the United States
Government.
Euphrates College is one of the institu
tons Of the American Board. The pro-
fessor is Turkish subject. but the point
raised in the American Boards appeal
does not concern the individual AZ an indi-
vidual, but as member Of the faculty
of the college, which is an American in
stitution, Nearly every member Of the
faculty is Turkish subject, however. and
If the Government should choose to make
a Wholesale raid on the faculty by alleging
as in the present instance, the fomenting of
revolution. it could not more effectually
| close the doors of the college.
The Government has been asked to inter-
vene to the extent Of procuring for Tene-
KHAN an immediate trial. There Ia a
precedent for this said DR.. Barton this
morning. "A few years ago the Turkish
Government tried to close up our school at
Aintah by arresting three Of the members
of the faculty. The Secretary Of the Aneri-
can legation went down there and asked
for an immediate trial for the men on the
ground that their arrest and confinement
were working an injury to an American
institution. He got it, too, and the men
were discharged because there was no
evidence to hold them. Such, am salts
fed, is also the case with Tenekijian He
was very conservative"
DR.. Barton says the arrest is apparently
an attack on the schools. as teachers in
two other schools, one Catholic and one
Gregorian, were arrested at the sa me time.

Supreme Court Justice Lambert In Brook
lyn yesterday awarded Mrs. Amelia Cary
Hull Burnett so week alimony and 500
counsel fee pending her action against
Harold Livingston Burnett for a separation
on tho ground Of cruel and inhuman con-
duct. This 10 the case in which the wife
objected to her husbands collection Of
reptiles.
Burnett appended to his answering papers
an affidavit made by Mrs. 10y N. Pursell Of
204 West i4lst street, Manhattan, who said
that she was well acquainted with the
plaintiff, but gave up the acquaintance
after she ascertained that the plaintiff used
liquor to excess and smoked cigarettes.
She averred that Mrs. Burnett was also in
the habit OF flirting with men whom she did
not know, and had told the dep0nent that
she did not marry her husband for love,
but because he had money, and that some
day she would get divorce from him with
big alimony.
The plaintiff also put in an affidavit in
answer to the affidavits presented on behalf
OF her husband. In this she says:
Il deny that have associated with I'M
proper persons, most of my friends being
young ladies' who were introduced to me
by my husband. I never became addicted
to liquor nor smoked cigarettes, and never

respecting my acquaintance with certain
woman.

. RESERVOIR PROTEST.
GrOut Says the Merchants Association
Failed 10 submit Proofs.

The representatives of the Merchants
Association who went before the Aqueduct
Commission on July IA to protest against
a reserved payment of 100000 to John b.
Mcdonald, the contractor, for building the
westerly wall of the Jerome Park reservoir,
because OF failure to comply with condi
tions of the contract, were told at that time
to come before the board again with the
proofs Of their assertions. G.. l.. Duval,
chairman Of the committee on water sup
ply of the association, submitted to the
Aaueduct Commission on Friday state
ment of the reasons for protest, mostly
such az have been published before.
Comptroller Circuit said that so far as
he could see from cursory reading the
statement contained none Of the proofs,
that the association had promised to sup
ply that the work on the Jerome Park
reservoir had been defective.
"The letter Is merely an argument Mr.
Grout said. "and, moreover, repeats argu-
ments that have been laid before the Aque-
duct Commission before What we asked
for were specific proofs and these have not
been furnished to us
