TAUGHT TO READ AT THREE.

uere Is The story of how an ingenious mother
touyht her little son to read before he could talk
or walk properly. Although not three, he can
now read with accuracy and ease, yet n normal
hnbv In fact, any boy or girl could be similarly
taught.
In This particular case the child began to notice
Tho larger headlines in newspapers and to ask IN
hohv language what they were. The letter II was
nointed out to him, and for a time he was content
80 look for this. Next his mother taught him II
and A. these being selected as sufficiently differ
ont from IL to avoid confusion. The idea of the
letters was thus grasped, and 1t was easy to teach
tho how the entire remaining alphabet.
Then his mother began to print letters for him,
when ne asked for pictures on pieces of paper.
TbIs vos called drawing. Gradually she combined
Tho letters In words suited to his experience, such
ms "horse' and dog" Sometimes he tried TO
draw the letters himself, achieving quite a credit,
able II at twenty-six months. Also an occasional
A., +, f, o and H.
Gradually small letters instead Of capitals were
drawn for the words he recognized, and soon he
know that dog and DOG meant the same
small cards were used instepd of bits of paper
tho words being drawn at the top. Thus, step by
stan he was taught the appearance Of words mad
letters. until one day his mother took him on LEI
lon and rad a simple story to him, pointing t.
each word, the appearance of which had already
boen impressed on his mind by tine card system.
This reading was continued for some time
Then one evening his mother sid, "You read
story TO father" and the boy, proIouncing eacl
word without error, slowly, and with proper into
nation. read six lines of simple words without
mistake.

Many Tie-ups Result From Sip- { pery Road Surface
CARS ARE AFFECTED ALSO
Selectman Griswoid Says Room in Town Hall May Be Used for Post Found.

' Several automobile trucks were stalled on Damon's Hill this morning on account of the coating of ice which rorered the road. The trucks held up q dozen touring cars which could not get through or around the barri- cade of trucks. Several of the truck drivers procured salt and scattered it aoout the road in an effort to melt the ice but their efforts were llnsuc- tesstul One truck managed to get cl1ains on and then play the good Sa- 1naritan by assisting the others up the hill thus relieving the con e'estion of several hours. Several trucks on route to New York could not negotiate the rise on Berlin street and the driv- CTS were obliged to put on chains
 , The trolleys found it difficult to make headway early this morning as hhe rain froze on the rails as it fell. Damon's Hill was a veritable Water loo fer the cars, the ice defying all their efforts. An. old "jitney' was sadly smashed on Caesars Hill on fhe East Berlin road this morning, when a big truck slid down the hill aud crashed into it.
 . Sclectman Replies.
 Selectman R. M. Griswold has taken exception to Postmaster Barrett S statement that the room in the town hall was not available for post office purposes. but would bc put to other nses Selectman Grswold's statement follows:
 In reference to the post office, the use Of the room in the Town Hall has not been refused for post office uses. but the postmaster was told that if no other place was secured, the use of the room in the Town Hall would be carefully considered.
 ITO fit this room for use will re- uuire considerable expense, and the selectmen do not feel warranted in e&pending money 10 fit up the room at the rate of rent now paid by the governme ent. In addition the room Is badly needed for town purposes and the selectmen have recently received 3 written petition from the board of assessors asking that the room be flt- ted LID decently for their use and for other purposes.
 Ut is not the duty of the town to furnish either site or building for government use. but the board of se- lectmen are ready to do anything pos sible to accommodate the patrons of the post office if it can be done with out detriment to the interests of the town" a.s .# .s. .r. Woodmen Elect.

 Church Workers Busy.
 The ministers at the Plainvillc churches. after a study of conditions in this town, anticipate a large and sudden increase in the population, owing to industrial development.
