Mrs. Reyes Describes
Journey In Address

Quite the largest audience of the
year greeted Mrs. Frances Parkinson
Keyes at the Congressional Club Friday
afternoon. Members and their guests
filled every available inch of space, and
Mrs. Dale happily assured Mrs. Reyes
that this was mark of honor accorded
to her as one of their most distinguished
members.
Mrs. Reyes address was a Joyful,
witty sketch of her trip first to Seville,
Spain, to the exposition, and then to
South America, and the recital was
punctuated at proper intervals by the
appearance of model QUILTED in the
characteristic dress of the country de-
scribed.
The exposition building erected by the
United States for our display at Seville
is to be used as the residence of the
United States consul and vice consul,
Mrs. Reyes says that this is very hu-
name provision. as many OF our repre-
sentatives abroad are really homeless
and with insufficient salaries to live ac-
cordtng to their rank.
The revolutions in South America are
much exaggerated in our papers, she
said. A change of parties there means
political prisoners usually. In Venezuela
these prisoners are set to work making
highways; consequently Venezuela has
really good roads.
The beauty and grandeur Of Rio de
Janeiro Mrs. Keyes described in a
stately poem Asuncion she calls the
soul and center of real South American
customs and manners The scarf OF
Paraguayan lace which the model wore
was part ,cularly interesting.
Difficult trips to unfrequented places
in Argentina, Terre Del Fuego and
Patagonia revealed the undevelopment
but also the great possibilities Of those
countries. In Patagonia every house

Everyday Psychology

Reading.

Reading Is in some respects q mere
mechanism. But 1t Is o mechanism of
very fine movements. Movements Of
the mind.
The average fourth grade pupil win
silently read about 20 words minute
depending, Of course, on the words that
a fourth grader should recognize at
sight. The average fifth grader viii
come pretty close to reading word a
second, same conditions prevailing. The
average sixth grader viii approximate
two words a second.
In the days OF our fathers oral read
ing was the fashion. This method re-
quired q longer time, of course.
Today the theory is that reading
should always be silent. We live much
faster nowadays. We read less for
the sake of satisfaction Of others.
The big idea Is to acquire speed for
the sake Of economy. Children trained
to read under the old system acquired
the habit OF wasting about half their
reading time. Generally speaking.
adults read about as fast as they learn
to read in the seventh or eighth grade
of school.
Suppose you accept the plain fact
that reading is movement. This means
that oral reading Is q handicap to the
pupil.
