Shakespeare with vocabulary OF
5000 words, Dir. Jackson said that
5000 words are enough for theIaver-
age student to know how to spell.
Three things that Should be kept
in mind when teaching spelling
were emphasized. They are, the
meaning Of the word: enunclation
and the writing Of the letters in
their correct order.
Mr.. Jackson said that more stress
should be put on the prevention Of
mfsspelling a word, than on the
cure, after It has been misspelled
He suggested that teachers have
their pupils look at the word. and
pronounce 1t before attempting to
spell It. Teach spelling instead OF
testing It.
Professor Jackson closed his ad
dress by saying, Let's give spell
ing a good place on our daily PRO
gram this year"
Howto Judge Teacher.
I. F. Bush, superintendent OF the
city schools OF Erie. Pa, was the
second speaker yesterday after
noon.
Professor Buch spoke on How
to Judge a Teacher. A teacher
Is judged by initiative and resour-
sefulnes. by personal equipment,
professional preparation and growth
said Mr.. Buch. He said. II expect
teachers to work at keeping heal
thy. They must set an example for
the youth Of the country. Enthu-
tasm is the result OF good health,
an denthuslasm is contagious"
School teaching has become a
profession, The teacher is the
SPECIALIZATION the job.-a child spe-
cialist. Intimacy between the tea
cher and pupil make the school.
Teachers are both born and made.
but even born teachers can be help
ed by training, said Mr.. Bush.
The characteristics for the per-
sonality OF a good teacher re-:
sympathy; a love Of knowledge. a
facility for lmparting knowledge to
others: and the spirit OF John the
Baptist, that Of making himself
useful TO the pupil.
One reason why SO many teach
ers fail is because their careers
ire often chosen for them, by
someone else.
The technique Of teaching was
also touched upon by Mr.. Bush.
This consists of definitenegs and
clearnes OF aim. In brief Mr.. Bush
said. teach the children how TO
study. and hel pthem with their,
individual difficultures. Don't
quiz, teach. Attention and res
in a class mark the success Of
a teacher.
One hundred AMI forty-two wom-
en-. and 4S men were registered at
