ODD PROPOSALS

In Switzerland. among the remote
Alpine hamlets and villages. especial.
ly In the Bernese Oberiand, there still
exist ancient and pretty customs OF
proposing marriage by the language
Of nowers II maid accepts a bou.
quet Of edelweiss from q man she at
the same time accepts him a. her
nance. the idea being that the man
has risked his life TO obtain the now-
ers for the woman he loves. Another
method which exists In the canton OF
Glarus Is for the young man TO place
a fiower-pot containing q single rose
and q note on the window-sill OF the
girls room when she is absent from
home and wait-perhaps days-for a
reply II the maid takes the rose the
young man boldly enters the house to
arrange matters with her parents. but
II the rose Is allowed to fade away the
proposal Is rejected without a single
word having been exchanged between
the couple. Sometimes fckle girl
will keep a young man waiting day
or two for an answer. but whatever II
may be II Is considered final.

USE FOR ROLLER SKATES

success by the Union Street Railway
company OF New Bedford. Mass. This
company's storeroom attendants are
fitted with skates to accelerate their
movements. and they thus save consid-
cradle time In getting at stock When
one of the men receives q request for
material at the delivery window he
skates back to the section of the store
room containing the required article
and promptly returns with II to the de-
livery window. The use OF the skates
does not hamper the storeroom en-
ployes In mounting ladders for the
purpose OF reaching elevated bins In
which material may be stored. as ex-
perience has shown that they are able
to mount ladders to reach such places
without removing their skates"

HINTS TO TEACHERS No. 4.
The SPELLING Lesson.

The spelling lesson is one OF the
bright things in almost every school
room because it is something like a
game. II calls out interest and
emulation. II is one study in which
the decision and marking OF the
teacher will be absolutely accu-
rate and just. Every word is either
spelled correctly or misspelled.
But while the spelling lesson is
such an admirable walker up" Of
intellectual activity in the way Of
memory and accuracy, it is too Of
ten a barren exercise because il
does not bring out the thought that
really turks in the meanings OF
words. II is rather stultifying to
a pupil to spell words with which
he is not acquainted, and the de-
flnition OF words in many diction-
aries are undressing and unpro-
fltable, and sometimes they are not
understood any better than the
words themselvesl
A very pleasant way Of learning
TO spell is in writing Of sentences.
We learn q new word naturally as
il comes with other words in a
sentence. Any teacher can select
interesting short stories and read
them to the class slowly, letting
them write them down. They will
be sure TO know the meanings Of
the words and the papers can be
corrected for spelling as we'll as for
punctuation and the use OF CAPT.
tails. By taking pains one can get
stories Of bright sentences which
contain all the common words we
wish our students TO spell.
We recently saw q "made-up''
sentence full Of good words which
are often misspelled. The sentence
is said 10 have been passed around
10 a good many highly educated
people, but nearly everyone is sure
TO miss some word which it con-
tains: 1T is agreeable to view the
unparalleled embarrassment Of q
harassed saddler or peddler sitting
on a cemetery wall, gauging the
symmetry Of a skillfully peeled po-
tato."
That is very awkward sentence,
but il illustrates method OF teach
ing spelling.

PHONETIC BIBLE

A gentleman living In Cleveland.
MINI. has just completed a transla-
ton OF the Bible. using q system Of
phonetic spelling which he devised.
The manuscript 10 being kept In .
safe deposit vault. while the four
books OF the Gospel and the Book Of
Acts are being put into type.
The translator began his work "a
years ago. when he was sixty years
old, and he has devoted most of his
time since to the translation. He
has acquired considerable fame In his
specially OF phonetic spelling. hav-
ing originated a method which elm
mates all silent letters and substi-
tutes. His system OF spelling has
been In use In the English schools Of
China nine years. and the Chinese are
particularly enthusiastic about the
method. as making Il easier for them
to learn the language.

THAT SCHOOL EXHIBITION.


The Citizen has already reminded
the teacher that ii is important
that each school should have in the
latter part OF the term an exhibi-
ton or two. and q grand exhibi-
ton for the closing OF the school.
Our suggestions are:
First, that there should be some
regular school exercises in these
exhibitions-a spelling down. a
reading lesson. history lesson, or
something OF that sort.
Second. that there should be some
good music. Again this week the
Citizen publishes a good song with
music.
Third, that there should be some
speaking Of pieces and that these
should be carefully adapted TO the
children who are TO speak them;
simpler pieces for the smaller chill
dren.
Fourth. We now add the furth-
or suggestion that there should be
two or three original essays COM
posed by the more advanced stu
dents. We suggest few subjects
for such essays:
Character OF a Good Dog; The
Corn Show; The County Fair; MAX
ing Good Roads; Why | Like TO Go
TO School.
