Without Further Bur-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 21.-
The grammar game" is being in
troduced in schools with the perfec-
ton of q new text. instruction is
individualized so that the student
studies just what he needs without
further burdening the teacher.
The system, introduced in several
large cities, was devised by DR.. L. j.
O'Rourke, director of research for
the United States Civil Service
Commission. He started the work
while in Cornell University. .
The book is divided into three
parts, drills, reference, and seif-cor-
rections sections.
Pupils Correct Errors
1t works this way. First section
contains lists of sentences with two
alternatives indicated for one of the
words, as 1.-THE sudden attack de-
feated (us-we) men," The student
writes what he thinks is the right
word in note book opposite the
number of the sentence. The cor !.
rect answers are in the last section
of the book.
Suppose the child gives I'VE" as
the answer for the first sentence
He looks in the last section where
he finds "us7 is correct. Opposite
"us" is the symbol, &c" which re-.
fers to the rule in the reference
section governing the problem.
He corrects the error and writes
"3c" opposite it. He corrects all
mistakes in the same manner with
the reference number beside the
correction.
Checks Own Weakness
When he studies his lesson the
next day he looks up the rules he
has indicated and spends all his
time on them, covering only the
rules on which he is weak and
emitting the rules which he knows.
In the teachers manual are spec
cial progress tests covering the
same principals as the drill tests in
the text book. These are corrected
by the teacher, serving to check the
