increased to eleven and the CONNER

The a, b, method in use when Pro
fessor Gale took charge has been dis
placed with the modern phonic meth

tracing features of Professor Gales
work is the arrangement which neces-
States his teaching during at least five
periods each day, thereby taking time
that some, think could be prOf1tably
