not much. The truth is that people
underestimate the number OF words

one Of three.
An investigation recently made by
following child at that age and not

that 1t had memorized LII different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
in contact. and were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigation of words USED
by children between year and Is
months old showed that the lowest vo

The iron casting, after being machined
to the required dimensions, is heated
in gas furnace until the iron can just
be handled without distortion through
