granting In grammar; reinstate the
old method Of. syllable pronunciation
Of words In spelling, and instruct the
superintendent to direct that teach
ers lay special emphasis on -instruc-
tions in reading, spelling and mathe-
matics. He asks that the plan be-
come effective with the beginning Of
the now term in September.
Mr.. Hutcheson asserts that the
"visualized plan Of reading educate tes
the eye and not the mind, and is a
panoramic method which tends to
fit and flip objects before the view
at lightning speed, fails to develop
the mind psychologically and philo-
sOphically, and tends to destroy the
fundamental basis Of elementary ed
ucation."
Business mon OF Atlanta, ho 8, i'll.
are complaining that employees who
are educated In the Atlanta schools
cannot spell properly.
This resolution Is not simply lsy
own idea," stated Mr.. Hutcheson;
"some of the oldest and most effi-
Client teachers in the system are de-
ploring the decadence Of the social
cd modern methods, and want re-
turn to education that will stick In
the mind.
THE way our young children are
being taught Is not educating them.
They do not learn the alphabet. They
begin to read with the aid Of pic
lures. Cover up tho pictures and Of
tentimes they can't read the text at
all.
''Then this sight reading is de-
stroying the art Of spelling, one of
the most valuable accomplishment
child can acquire. The $4,000 pu-
pills Of the public schools need to be
taught to spell thoroughly, know the
wodrs and what the words mean as
they read them"
Mr.. Hutcheson Is also the author
Of pending resolution to reduce the
number Of text books in the gram
mar school grades.
He introduced a resolution which
Is also pending, providing for the
elimination Of several supervisors
and the transfer of their functions
to the principals and teachers, de-
claring that too many "frlnges and
trimmings and furbelows" had got
ten into the system.
