Understatement is as effective in
decorating as in conversation. This
point was smartly made in a recent
exhibition of new rooms that achieve
flavor of European urbanity by
using wonderful old furniture along
with modern pieces but doing it in a
rather casual way that keeps the
effect from seeming too precious but
still effective.
A sitting room, for instance, has
palest yellow walls and hangings Of
yellow duvetyn printed in classic
medallions, an old Aubusson rug
with brown ground. Into this back
ground the distinguished furniture is
arranged without ostentation; but it
includes some breath-taking treas
ures: French empire piano OF wal
nut and mahogany with a 18th CEN
fury Italian piano chair painted in
soft blue-green, an Italian Directoire
fruitwood center table with Regency
chairs in rosewood and gilt-along
with exquisite ornaments and bibe-
lots. The upholsteries are all In
muted tones.

Flags on Capitol Fly Day,
Night Since World War I

The office of the architect Of the
Capitol says that the custom of
flying a United States flag night
and day at all times from the east
and west porticoes of the United
States Capitol originated during
World War I. 1t was felt for pa
triotic reasons that there should
be one building over which the
flag never ceased to fly.
The Capitol was selected as be-
ing typical of the United States,
and as being outside of military
regulations, which, of course, de-
mand the furling of the flag at
sunset. rs

They likewise pay tribute to the
excellent results obtained through
the sight method Of reading, the
study method Of teaching spelling
and the present method of teaching
corrective speech. However, they
are strongly of the opinion that
through the phonovisual method
sight reading functions more
smoothly with many children be-
cause of the hundreds of phonetic
words which they must learn in the
first two grades Of school.

BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

Washington is to have a new
private elementary school for first
and second grades. In addition to a
co-ordinated program of occupa-
tional activities, it will feature the
"phonovisual" method of teaching
reading and spelling. new educa-
tional process in this field. Starting
this Thusrday, classes will be held
daily, Monday through Friday, from
9:15 am. to 1890 pm. in Pierce
Hall, Sixteenth and Harvard streets
NV.
The teacher in charge will be Mrs.
Marie Strudley Buckley, a former
Washington public school teacher,
who for the past year has conducted
the first experimental work in a
school using the phonovisual
method.
The phonovisual plan of teaching
reading is the result of many years
experimental work on the part of it's
sponsors, Miss Lucille D. Schoolfield
and Miss Josephine B. Timberlake,
who have recently demonstrated its
techniques in educational reading
clinics at George Washington Uni
versity under Dr. Ruth Coyner, asso-
ciate professor in the School of Edu-
cation, and at a meeting of the
Elementary Principals Association
at the University of Pittsburgh.
Speech Correctionist.
Miss Schoolfield is speech cor
rectionist in the public school sys-
tenn, the author of Better Speech
and Reading" and co-author with
Miss Timberlake of Sounds the
Letters Make" Miss Timberlake is
editor of the volta Review" and
executive secretary of the Volta Bu-
reau devoted to educational research
in behalf of the deaf and founded
by the late Alexandria Graham Bell.
Certain elements of the phono-
| visual method which will be taught
in the new school originated in the
Clarke School for the Deaf, where
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge was a teacher
before her marriage But during the
past 10 years Miss Schoolfeld and
Miss Timberlake have rearranged
the system, illustrated it and added
to it so many original ideas of their
own in line with present-day educa-
tional thinking that the present
process is almost entirely their own.
OF the reading procedures which
Miss Schoolfield and Miss Timber
lake have developed, they say: I'VE
like to think of the phonovisual
method as an extra motor to give
the child the power to find out for
himself the sight word in his cur
rent reading lesson he is unable to
remember from yesterdays lesson"
BY means of it they believe the
child co-ordinates the use of his
eyes, his ears and his muscles in
mastering reading and writing.
First Step in Process.
The first step in the process is to
teach the child a vocabulary of
from IS to 100 words related to his
immediate experiences. Parallel with
this is the stressing of a scientific
phonetic foundation taught through
the use of pictorial charts based on
definite plan for training in audi
tory and visual discrimination car

proach.

places these cards on the chart he

the child hears the word, looks for

them on the cnart in the form of a

IS HE A HUMAN?

A business agent is supposed to be just human being and that's all he is, but he is also supposed to be en- dowed with a sixth sense that per- mits him to tell offhand just how long a job will last, what is the railway fare to Great Lakes Station, how cold it gets in Newfoundland, whether the Alaskan mosquitoes are poisonous, how much it will cost for room and board in Anchorage, and the current value of Cities Service stock.
