ton. but they have never really
learned u read. They can call the
words by their names, but the words
themselves mean little or nothing to
item. That is the reason why they
do net care for reading Their teach
ors were amiss in their work.
The time was when there were
fewer studies and fewer books in the
schools. and much useless memoriz
IN was dcne, but the pupils COM
n!tted definitions and SO became ac-
quanted with words. In the swing
OF the pendulum, a reaction has set
in and many teachers drill on any
thing and everything except the
meaning of words, and the meaning
of expressions in what is read. With
all the trash consumed in most mod

Exciting enough And when teach
