SILENT READING
FOR BEGINNERS
Nearly all of our reading is silent
reading after we finish school. There
fore we need more silent reading in
our schools today. Since we want
children to become rapid silent read
ers, we must give them directed prac-
tice in that line.
In past we have spent most of time
In Oral Reading, so now let US swing
the pendulum back a little and do
both kinds.
The question is often asked-When
start Silent Reading? We can start
this phase of reading when the child
begins school. One of the first things
we teach children is to recognize their
names. Teacher can teach "come to
me" so the child knows it. Then she
writes MARY come to me-"
In this method we see that children
get thought rather than dwell on
words and phrases. Isn't that what
most of our reading should do for us ?
There are many exercises that are
very good for beginners. One is the
@Action words" lesson. After chill
dren recognize some of the action
words such as jump, stand, sit, fly,
laugh, walk, ETC., then teacher may go
to the board and write class stand,
John walk, etc. One thing we must
teach here is that as soon as the child
reads the sentence he must act prompt
ly. Small children will enjoy class
some day when their teacher talks to
them with chalk Children now real
lie their ability to read. Their inter
est in intense.
"How to Teach Silent Reading to
Beginners" is a splendid little book
written by Emma Watkins, and is full
of suggestions that will make silent
reading much easier to teach
The merit of silent reading is that it
strips from schooling all unnecessary
things and allows the child's mind to
work naturally without artificial i'm
pediment.

MUST TOUCH THIRD BASE

framed up on Joe Sewell, of the

superstition is to touch third
base before the game starts.
1t isn't necessary to run around
the sacks to accomplish this. He
is satisfied just to ramble over
during practice and give the sack
a kick. The White Sox players
knew this failing Of his and when
Sewell strOlled over to perform

sack and wouldn't let Sewell

MUST BE AN AWAKENING

The following comment by the
Mobridge Tribune upon the con-
ditions of affairs at Aberdeen.
strikes US as timely. and we believe
it is right in assuming that Aber-
deem is no worse than many other
communities:
Aberdeen has had an awaken
ing during the past few weeks.
The lawlessness and immortality
that has been holding sway has
come to a climax in seven TRACE
dies. Moonshine played an impor-
tant part in all of them but it
was not the sole cause Aberdeen
is but reaping the fruits of dis
respect for law and order in gen
eral and in particular paying the
penalty for loose moral conditions.
Aberdeen. however. is probably no
worse or no better than the aver
age American community. 1t Is
paying the penalty of its misdeeds
that's all just like every other
person and community eventually
has to pay. Things can get Just so
bad and then they blow up, SO TO
speak. And when they do blow up,
things are made better. and peo-
pie get back to more nearly pro-
per balance. Decent living is after
all the only kind that brings hap
piness. The most unfortunate
phase of conditions of the past few
years is that the very young, boys
and girls. have been engulfed in
the maelstrom of vice, before they
were old enough to resist or to
make a wise choice of the course
that they would pursue. And
that's the pity of this whole UNI
fortunate business. In any event
we have travelled long way from
The days Of twenty, thirty, or for
ty years ago, and as we have ira
yeled we have been discarding by
the wayside the good old fashion
ed ideas Of home discipline, Of
industry. honesty, morality, right
ousncss and good citizenship,
which are the essentials of indiv-
idual happiness and well-being as
well as the cornerstone of com
munity. state and national wei
