weareuing the old fashioned
method of conducting the spell
ing recitation. If a pupil mis
spells a word the one below him
who spells the word correctly is
allowed to "cut him down."
Failure to pronounce the word be
fore spelling it sends the pupil
"foot" The pupils delight in
calling this a "footmark." A
pupil who is head at the close of
the recitation receives a "head
mark" and goes, foot for the
next day. There is marked in

and also much improvement in
