r=W COLUMN. 1 %*???. FOR ^ 1* J The School Teachers, School ? J Committeemen, Patrons and J J Friends of the Public Schools. ? u, Conducted By <i> J Supt. Ira T. Turlington. J T ? Phonics Ayalii Last week 1 described a recita tiou 1 saw conducted. The teacher required the pupils to priut the capital letters. She did it dQubtless because the capituls are more easily printed than the su\all letters. I am as sured by teachers using this method that the children have little trouble iu learning the small letters after they have learned to print the capitals. This week 1 saw a part of the same class that i heard spell last week on recitation again. The class is divided into two sections iu reading and 1 heard the ad vanced section read. This class had been taught teveral weeks and could read well for little folks. The first child read easily without having to sound out a single word. The secoud child called on was at the opposite end of the class from the tirst. She sounded out several words iu eacU sentence but got them out for herself. The teacher did not help her. She sounded the words [ out aloud not silently. Mr. Muses says let the children do this until they tire of it and stop it themselves and he claims they will soon tire of it. All the child ren read. Now. each child read as many as four lines or senten ces at one standing. This is better than having each child read just one sentence. This class had seven children in it and was 011 recitation about fifteen minutes?about two min utes for each child. How much better it is to take the whole class together for fifteen minutes than to take each one by him self for two minutes! This class was reading in les son number twelve in the Moses Primer. I did not hear the second section read as 1 was anxious to hear these same pu pils in number lessons. The teacher, however, told me that the second section of her class does not read so well as the first section. She seemed a little glad ttiat 1 did not call for that class to read. 1 mention this to show the new teachers of this method that all the pupils do not learn to read quickly, lie not dis couraged. NUMBER WORK. I hope each teacher will find some time for number work with these little six-year old children. I se wooden tooth picks or shoe pegs or grains of red corn. 1 j think tooth-picks are best of these. First teach the children to count these tooth (ticks, pegs, or grains of corn. Then teach them to draw the tooth picks-on the board (tutting them in groups of one, two, three, <fcc. up to twenty. That is. let them know what one is by seeing out-, tooth (tick, then make one vert i-1 cal mark on the board to repres- j ent it. Then take two tooth j 1 !..? ?u? ..mi.... I piCivB auu itfu Liir cuuuicu wi an two vertical murks; then three, then four, and so on up to twenty. After the children can do this, let them be taught the figures, one, two, three, &c. letting these figures be made under the group of marks each represents. That is, let the figure one be written under the one mark, the figure two under the two marks, and PO ou. The children can be set to doing this work as soon as ti.ev enter school. These ,oot h picks will help to keep them quiet. Making these marks and figures on their slates will interest them. I will talk more about number work next week, and will con tinue the talk about phonics. I start, this week to see the teachers teach. 1 am hoping and trusting to see better work doing for the little foiks. 1 am glad to hear from several who are trying the phouic method. Teachers, it will work. I hope next week to be able to tell about some good work done in the schools I shall see this week. I intend to make short visits and try to see everv school at least twice during this term. If 1 see good work I shall tell it in this column. If I see poor work I shall tell about it too. Those who wish to see me on business can find me in mv office every Saturday. I must be out among the schools from now on. I A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED Tuesday, November 15.

People are more and more aiming to regard profanity us -ude *11 <1 inexcusable, and the nan who swears iB generally re rarded as undesirable company vhile he is swearing. Recently ve heard one of the circuit ludges of the State remark upon he foolish and ugly habit of iwearing and he mentioned h veil-known lawyer who frequently ?enders his conversation un pleasant by reason of his pro anity. All will agree that swear ng is useless and ugly and that t is to ue deplored in any and ill who indulge 111 it. It is bad n any one, but somehow to hear i man whose head is "blossom ng for the grave" under the ivhite frost of many years, in iulge in profanity is more shock ing than in men of younger pears. They seem not to have earned with the passing years neither the proper respect for ither people nor any regard for the Creator, on whose goodness the life of all depends. Young aien ought not to swear, for it aegets a habit of which their best irieuds are ashamed; strong men should not sweai for :t shows that they learned to give way to the foolish habit at a time of life wiien they should have resisted; old men should not swear, for it shows that they are growing weaker in the matter of aiorals and manners when they ihould be growing stronger, fhe best motto for all should be: 'Swear not at all."?Scotland Neck Commonwealth. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. New Way ol Using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: ''As i proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and poung, I pen you the following. A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad ;oug'n and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Dough Remedy and nut some upon the lummy teat the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy isforsa eby A. H. Boyett, Smittfield; Jeima Drug Co., J. \Y. Benson. The Companion Informs and Entertains.
