SCHOOL NOTES.

SUPPLEMENTARY READING.
In the lower grades at school,
there is nothing of as much i'm.
portance as the reading and
spelling lessons. The work
done in the first two or three
years of a child's reading has
much to do with the rest of his
school life. If the pupil is prop
erly started, half the battle is
won. One of the great needs is,
not more advanced reading, not
rapid promotions, but more
reading, suitable to the ability
of the pupil. For a primary
pupil, one reader to the grade
is not enough, because be be-
comes acquainted with the sub
ject by means of the picture and
position of the words on the
page, before he has the ability
to call the words, if differently
arranged, or if in different type.
Farther, the subject matter gets
old, and the pupil loses interest
by going over the same lessons
too often. Hence, the need of
more reading matter.
Some think, if a pupil drags
through reader once, he must
have a higher book. No greater
mistake could be made. The
child must be able to read with
ease and emphasis, before he is
ready for a more difficult book.
1t is not uncommon to find pu
pills trying to read in the third
reader, not able to read we'll in
the second. A poor third read
err pupil would learn much more
in a second reader in one month
than in a third reader in two
months, besides making better
reader.
In the primary grades, pupil
makes much better progress in
reading by learning the spelling
connected with the reading les
son. With but few exceptions,
good spoilers make good read
