Children AM Taught To Sp*U
Words That They'll Us*
Research reveals that 500
words with their repetitions com
prise nearly 84 per cent of the
total used in ordinary corre
spondence.
This finding explains why I
modern schools teach fewer
words than were taught years
ago but teach them more thor
oughly, reports Dr. Ernest Horn
of the State University of lowa,
a national expert on teaching
spelling.
No longer do teachers throw
the entire dictionary at pupils,
says Dr. Horn. He thumbed
through Webster’s 18(13 THE
AMERICAN BOOK and found
lessons calling for primary kid-1
dies to spell such words as chub, ‘
lappet, asp. Later lesson re-!
quired punctilio, ichthyology,
amaranth, armigerous. Even 1
adults seldom use such words,;
much less youngsters. I
Today, children arj taught
word of current and future use
fulness. Chosen on the basis of
scientific evidence, the words are
those written most often both in
and out of school. |
Dr. Horn offers some typical
opes for each grade: j
Grade 2: letter, school, good,
why, dinner, big. i
Grade 3: third, name, winter,
rain, visit, friend.
Grade 4: radio, north, sorry,
received, surprise, minute.
Grade 5: picnic, truck, paid,
telephone, busy.
Grade 6: success, terrible, im
portant, excitement, necessary.
Students learn to spell many
words outside the spelling class,
Dr. Horn points out, through
their reading and through writ
ten composition. One should nut
depend, however, on such inci
dental learning. Special periods
should be devoted to learning to
spell. A test given before study
in these periods shows each chi.d
which words he has not learned
through his reading and writing.
Beyond grade eight spellin°.
rsn’t usually taught as a sepa
rate subject. But good teai n
ers continually emphasize fre-j
quently misspelled words, even'
through college. Examples are
believe, definitely, government,
its, lose, their, judgment, dis
appointed. i
In fact, Dr. Cratis Williams,;
graduate studies dean and vet
eran spelling teacher at Appa
lachian State Teachers College,
Boone, N. C„ reveals that one
third of college freshmen fre
quently misspell these simple
words, losing, writing, dropped.
Two hundred of each 600 frosh ,
put two o’s in losing, two t’s in
writing, but delete one p from
dropped.
Children who are taught phon
ics spell somewhat better than I
those who are not, states Dr.i
Horn. Phonics in relation to
spelling may be defined simply
as the teaching of the principal)
ways in which sounds are
spelled.
Pronouncing a word may help
■a student to soell it correctlv. j
but it may also lead to misspell
ing. In fact, the most frequent
errors in common words are
caused by spelling the sounds j
in ways that correctly soell the I
same sounds in other words. For'
example, busy may be spelled j
bizzy. J
While an aid, phonies is not!
enough, says the lowa professor. |
Certain sounds are spelled in a
great variety of ways. For ex
ample, one can spell the long e
sound in 14 ways. The sound
of sh as in shop can be spelled;

17 ways—more often with ti than,
with sh.
Since the English language is
far from being strictly phonetic,
the pupil must, unfortunately,
learn by more complex methods,
states ASTC’s Dr. Williams. He
must pay attention to how the'
i word "listens,” "looks,” "speaks,” j
and “feels.” And especially how
it looks, emphasizes Dr. Wil
liams.

French Students At
i Chowan To Present
Program For PTA
t
La Societe du Cygne Bleu (The
Society of the Blue Swan) is a
very active organization on the
Chowan High School campus. It
is composed of second-year
French students, and the main
objective of the club is to af
ford opportunity for French con
versation and the study of
French culture. The recent study
ol the fourteenth century chan
tefable Aucassin et Nicolette
prompted Karl Harrell, the club
sponsor, to adapt the main epi
sodes of the story for a one-act
opera which would utilize the
musical talent of club members.
This tree adaptation will be
performed for the April 'PTA
meeting Monday, April 10, at the
Chowan High School auditorium.
The entire opera will be sung
in French and will feature Miss
Becki Harrell as Nicolette, ‘James
Copeland as Aucassin, Miss San
dra Baker as the nurse, Miss
Nancy Spivey as main trouba
dour, Bobby Chappell as town
crier. and Bernard Davis as
Nicolette’s father. Besides origi
nal recitatives, the audience will
hear arias by Offenbach, Jules
Massenet, Rimsky-Korsakov, Ca
mille Saint-Saens, and d'Harde
lot. Jakie Boyce will be pianist
with Lewis Evans and Hubert
Byrum as guitarists.
Aucassin et Nicolette belongs
to the 14th century troubadour
music and poetry of France. It
is a charming tale of knighthood
; -nd romance. Mr, Harrell has
reversed the slave motif; Aucas
sin in the opera is an Indian

IT’S COLD—Unemployed
sandblaster R. C. Johnson
warms himself over an out
door fire. Unable to pay his
rent in Nashville, Tenn., he
moved his wife and four chil
dren into a friend’s home.
He and his 16-year-oid son
slept outdoors.
slave in the household of Nico
lette’s father. Nicolette, a me
dieval princess, has fallen hope
lessly in love with the hand
some lad. Os course, the noble
father objects and has Aucassin
sent on a crusade with the hope
of his death. Nicolette laments
the fact, for she believes that
Aucassin is dead and she has no,
hope. The opera opens at this
point and unfolds in the garden
of a medieval French- villa. For
contrast to the sad events a
band of troubadours, a group of
gypsies and a chorus of sailors
and dancers come to cheer the
heart of Nicolette. They do not
succeed; Nicolette languishes,
and even the old nurse cannot
alleviate her madness. However,
the opera ends happily in that
the Towncrier announces threel
ships in harbor. Aucassin, who
turns out to be a prince of In-I
dia, is aboard one of them. In|
typical fashion, the father of;
Nicolette comes on stage to sing'
his pardon aria, and Nicolette
and Aucassin are free to journey
together to India. The opera
ends with a chorus singing one
of the main melodies of the
story, a sort of love motif.

How does the Resurrection pro

I for wi.nessing today?
On tnis beautiful Easter Sun
day, as we gather together in a
i place of worship to give thanks
to God for being alive, for his
many bounties, it is only fitting
1 that we should study the story
of the Resurrection, and all
that it means to us as Christians.

of her beloved Master, visited
his tomb “while it was still
dark” and, finding his body
