TEACHING PUPILS TO SPELL
Possibly There 10 an Error In
the Present Process.

So much has been said and printed
about the very Independent way pupils
in school now spell-of course. there
were always bad spellers-that the
reason for 1t should be known. A
dozen or more years ago . new
method Of teaching spelling was de-
vised and from one end Of our educaa
tor ridden country to the other was
practiced and fasorably reported on. 1t
was called "visualiziation." and meant
that a mental picture was certainly
impressed on the child's" mind by
merely looking at the word. 1t never
occurred to the visualizers th&: the
child" had always looked at the word.
and that the drill they proposed to do
away with was all there was to the
spelling lesson.

reults Of the prohibition sweep which
is causing comment here is indicated
by the New York stock market reports,
says a Washington I'd. c. correspond
ent. About ten months ago the shares
Of the Distilleries Securities company
were quoted around nineteen and
twenty-and on one occasion twenty
two. Then they tobogganed down to
fourteen, auctuated there a short time,
and took other drops. until they were
quoted two and half and five and
half. This is the lowest record ever
reached. and is credited to the fact
that many distilleries in the dry and,
prospectively dry states have gone
into voluntary liquidation, while In
Ohio and Illinois many brewery COM
panies have been placed in the hands
OF receivers.
