The Old Spelling Class.

Rev. George Claiming wrote an ae-
count OF the school of his youth, which
he attended just after the Revolution.
Girls and boys attended together the
primary school and sat on seats made
of round blocks of wood of various
heights, which were furnished by the
parents. Children bowed and kissed
the teachers hand on leaving the
room. The teaching of spelling was
peculiar 1t was the last lesson of the
day.
The master gave out long word
say, multiplication" with a blow of
his strap on the desk as signal for
all to start together, and in chorus the
whole class spelled out the word in
syllables. The teachers ear was SO
trained and acute that he at once de
tected any misspelling. If this hap
pened he demanded the name of the
scholar who made the mistake. If
there was any hesitancy or refusal in
acknowledging he kept the whole
class until, by repeated trials of long
words, accuracy was obtained. The
roar of the many voices of the large
school, all pitched in different keys
could be heard on summer days for q
long distance.

The Indians RenlY.

A distinguished army officer tells a
story on himself which relates to the
days when he was a young lieutenant
in the far west good many years ago.
He was Of a party who had gone to
see the Indians at Spokane Falls.
Among the redskins was Chief Moses.
who was fairly we'll educated and
spoke capital English. The young lieu
tenant addressed Chief Moses in the
Indian tongue, saying, Moses, 1 have
often heard of you, and l have seen
your picture and your name in the
newspapers, but have never before
seen you," and, offering his hand, add
ed, 81 am glad to meet you" Moses
scanned him from head to foot, and
us the young man stood with out
stretched hand the lengthening silence
and stolidity of the chief were becom-
ing painful, when old Moses at last
and with great deliberation said in
English, Young man, have never
heard of you before and have never
seen your picture in the newspapers,
but" he added lightly. nevertheless
am glad to see you," and accepted his
hand.
