CAUSE OF BAD SPELLING.

ing 60 spell for Persons with
Average Memories.

Probably Il Is q mistake to say that
any person with an average memory
cannot learn to spell. AS there Is a
lack Of analogy in the spelling Of
words, learning to spell is chiefly a
matter Of memory. Repetition Is the
only secret about It, says the Philadel-
phia Record. There are some aids, but
It is the words to which there "a no
guide which are the common sourcs
Of trouble. Persons who do not spell
well have simply neglected the study
Of orthography and are not entitled to
sympathy. Operators Of typeWritinR

selves the victims. Of q defective or
biographical memory have often be-
come good spoilers through practice.
In q vast proportion Of cases bad
spelling may be traced to wrong pro-
nunciation, which is even more ire
Quent than q wrong spelling. Prob
ably the modern methods Of instruction
have something to do with the numbsr
Of bad spoilers among fairly educated
people. The old speIling-bee system
insured repetition. In recent years the
writing Of the spelling lesson has IN
many schools taken the place o. the
oral system. The men and women who
