FROM OTHER PENS
MASSACHUSETTS MocK1NGB1RD.


Massachusetts is to entertain two
distinguished visitors-the president
of Beverly and the Southern hooking
bird in the woods of Duxbury. And
it is a pretty question which is the
more royalty and loyalty welcomed.
The Boston Globe. for instance, rec
ords the visit of a pair of hooking
birds to the fresh fields and pastures
new of Duxbury as an event of ex-
ceeding rarity and interest. 1t says
that the mocker is unfamiliar ''even
to those who have made a study of
birds"-meaning, OF course, bird stu
dents in Massachusetts, and adds:
ITO such persons it will be of in
terest to learn that a pair of mock
tngbirds are making Duxbury their
summer home this year. They were
first noticed about five weeks ago,
when they made themselves at home
about a house in the southern part
of the town. The beauty of the songs
brought neighbors to watch them. In
a few days they left the place. hav-
ing apparently found more to their
liking swamp near by at the bottom

SPELLING MATCHES.

Spelling matches used to be a popu-
lar form of entertainment in rural
schools, and it was helpful, too, for it
made for proficiency in spelling. Boys
and girls then learned to spell with
their minds instead of spelling always
with their eyes from the printed page.
There are now many men and women
who can write with ease some of the
most difficult words of the English
language, but without pen or pencil
they could not spell some the simplest
words of the language.
OF course, human minds vary in
the retentive power they possess. But
often memory is greatly aided by
sound. The boy must humble his
recitation to himself; he must fix in
his mind not only the silent symbols,
but also the memory of sounds which
go with each of them. Poetry is prob
ably more readily memorized than
prose because of its musical element,
which is but another way of saying
that the association of sound with the
image fixes the image more firmly in
the mind. The rule, it seems, may be
applied to spelling. Spelling "out
LOUD makes for correct spelling,
though for writing purposes a high
degree of proficiency may be and often
is attained by simply visualizing the
silent symbols of the guage.-Seat-
