SPELLING IS k
GIFT Of NATURE

1t is scarcely open 70 question that
all education should be individual, but
unfortunately this requirement can not
| be met in our crowded schools, says
the Scientific American. The State
IS compelled to require a definite
amount of knowledge from all engaged
| IN the same course. The difficulties
TO which this may give rise are j.
Illustrated by the following stories Of
| pupils who, despite earnest endeayor,
! could never learn to write correctly
or to read huently or to pass the ex-
! animation provided for the lowest
classes, although some Of them are able
TO accomplish important scientific work.
A perfectly healthy fifteen year-old
girl, one Of the best pupils Of the high
est class OF a German school, could
not spell correctly either German or
foreign words, either from dictation or
from memory. She could write single
characters perfectly; she could also
read a single series Of musical notes
and play the violin by note, but she
could not read piano music. The diff
Guilty was that she was unable to i'm
press the picture Of the word on her
memory. By the employment Of a
great number Of aids to memory she
succeeded IN making much progress, but
she continued to make the most in
credible errors in writing, which sharp
~ contrasted with the general excel
iApP.a her WORK sfhaOj She could
not read tuently because the image of
the word was not present TO her mem
CRY.
The girl's grandmother, highly edu-
Gated woman, her great-uncle and a son
fects. Each Of the men wrote num-
Der Of scientific works. but the spell
ing had to be corrected b. others.
In this case. therefore. this same de-
feet. which the English call ''word
blindness, appeared IN four members
Of one family. As we know that the
brain contains a special center for the
memory OF words. we must conclude
that the entire absence Of this ele-
menTary faculty in persons otherwise
OF good mental equipment must be
caused by a defect in this small part
of the brain. AS such persons can not
satisfy the requirements exacted IN the
lowest classes. they are IN danger Of
never reaching the higher ones. In
London one case Of word blindness was
found among each two thousand school
children. With proper appreciation OF
the conditions it should be possible 10
carry on the education OF such a child
If otherwise intelligent. This. however.
can not be done by the school: Il must
be accomplished by the parents or by
benevolent societies.

A big Democratic meeting was held in
the court House in Charles Town on
Friday night last A good audience
was present, including quite a number
of the fair sex. The principal speaker
was Congressman c Z. Carlin, of Alex
andria. Va. who delivered forcefdl
and eloquent address. He cited the Re-
publican pledge, in the last national
platform of that party, to revise the tar
if downward, and told in part how ii
had not been fulfilled. We had been
given free foreign labor to compete by
thousands with home laborers. and free
necessaries of life such as chloroform.
dried blood. dragons blood. horse hair.
old junk. nux vomica, orange peel.
mother of pearl. rags. &c . ad iufnitum.
to make up long list of articles, whilst
the people are enormously taxed on 9TH
ers. He arraigned the Republican party
tor being responsible for the present high
cost of living, and cited from Republican
sources to show the correctness of his
position. The speech was both polished
and instructive. and was listened to with
close attention by large and intellectual
audience. The distinguished Virginian
closed with an imprisoned appeal for
Safeguarding the American home and
aiding in the maintenance of good gov
eminent by the defeat of Coco. Sturgiss
and the election of Junior" Brown. Mr..
Ctrin was followed by Hon. !. Sloan
Kuykendall, of Romney, so well and
favorably known to our people. Mr.
Kuvkendall gave substantial reasons as
to why he is Democrat. illustrated the
burdens of the tariff, and made red hot
attack upon our present Congressman,
Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss. He paid a
handsome tribute to Hon. c. NJ. Wetz,
with whom he was associated in the
West Virginia Legislature. and scath-
ingly reviewed Republican extravaganza,
from the white house at Washington
do xn to our own State legislative body.
He gave cheering news from other per
tons of the district. especially in the Re-
publican counties. and asserted that if
Democrats will do their duty Hon. VIM.
&. Brown will be triumphantly elected.
The speakers were eloquently introduced
by Judge Frank Beckwith, and good mu-
sic was supplied by the City Band.

Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss. Republican
member of Congress from this district
and candidate for reelection. spoke in
the courthouse in this place last Satur-
day night. He was greeted with but a
moderate sized audience. composed to a
considerable extent of Democrats, and
the colored voter was largely conspicuous
by his absence. Mr.. Sturgiss being a
stand-patter of the first order, of course
attempted to defend the tariff. which his
party pledged itself to revise downward
and didn't do it. and spoke plausibly
avoiding the points SO numerically con
demned by the late Senator Dolliver aud
other able members of his own party.
He paid high compliment to Jefferson
county for having the best roads in the
State, but omitted to say that Jefferson
is under a competent Democratic local
government. whilst some other counties.
not thousand miles away, have the
worst roads and are managed by Repub-
licans. He offered the tariff as panacea
for everything, whilst IN all his utterance S
he failed to assert that he would not vote
for Mr.. Cannon for reelection as speaker,
or that he believed in any revision of
the tariff downward. MIR. Sturgiss made
heightened speech. defending his course
as best he could. but there was a lack OF
enthusiasm throughout the meeting-if
we may except when he iucidentlly re-
ferred to Stonewall Jackson and the late
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson. The speaker was
introduced by County Chairman Geo. H.
Childs. who presided over the meetings.
and the Powhatan Band discoursed en-

dress.
