THE BLUE SPELLING BOOK.
Webster's Masterpiece Still i'm Popular
Demand i'm County Schools.
philadelphia Inquirer.)

1t may strike some persons as
rather remarkable fact that the Web
ster spelling book, with its familiar
blue cover has sold up to date about
seventy millions of copies. The spell
ing book is no more IN vogue IN TINS
section, where we have taken over all
of the many fads of modern pedagogy
,along with some that are vital and
measurably permanent. The spelling
book no longer has the place in the
curriculum it once had There are
no more spelling bees, no more spell
ing down in the class. In it's place
children write out laboriously the
words selected from their lesson.
whether they spell better than this
generation we do not know, but if our
own experience is of any value they
do not.
Is there man or woman OF forty
i'm the country who does not remember
the thrill which followed in turning
over the last page of monosyllables,
ending, we think, with AK" and be-
ginning the new entry into learning
with the magic word Baker" That,
indeed was an event in millions of
lives, and though we must admit that
teachers of that age had no concep-
ton of the relation between the in
fantile "percept" and its collateral
concept" they produced a race OF
young men and women who could spell
and cipher and read. We do not
claim that it was all of education to
learn these three things. We do not
deny that the modern curricula have
many more and perhaps more ad-
vantageous items than the older gen
GRAFTON was favored with. We do
not think that there is a lack of in
terest ia photography which ought not
TO exist in these days of typeWriting
machines. Many a man has escaped
censure by writing obscurely with his
pen, but with the machines, which are
destined to do away with penmanshiD.
there is no recourse except To practice
and the old spelling book.
So far there have been issued over
40 900, 900 of the Webster spelling
book, and its popularity is still on the
increase. 1t is true that most of the
circulation is in the South. where they
are glad to get anything that is cheap
and good but the fact that the ele-
mental in education survives has an
instructive value. Noah Webster never
made cent, we are told, on his die
tionary, but his family have made
fortunes on the spelling book. That
ought to give some food for thought
TO the philosophers who think that
education began about ten years ago.

A disordered stomach may
cause no end of trouble. When
the stomach fails to perform it's
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous dis
eases, the most fatal of which are
painless and therefore the more
to be dreaded. The important
thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition,
and for this purpose no better
