Designation Needed.
Will not Professor Lounsbury, Am
Broso Blerco, Mr. Herrlck or soma
other watchdog of the linguistic treas
ury, invent some word to designate
accurate an assemblage of persons
who go to see a moving picture
show. "Audience" Is presumably ta
boo for such a company, and "crowd"
doesn't sound right or natural, while
"assemblage" and "company" are
wide of the mark. Probably tho
scope of tho commonly accepted and
familiar "audience" will have to bo
extended for the purpose.
How Unreasonable!
Many business men actually bellevo
that spelling ought to bo an accom
plishment of the average college grad
uate. A young bachelor of arts was
recently put to work running a small
printing press in the back room of a
banker's office. Ho was to set up and
print a number of circulars to bo sent
out to customers of the liouso.
When tho work was finished, it was
found to differ deecldedly from the
standards of spelling set by the late
Messrs. Webster and Worcester. Tho
young man was summoned to an au
dience with his chief. Tho interview
was not pleasant, and tho young man
showed as much by his face when ho
rejoined the rest of tho offlco force.
"What's tho matter, John?" some
one asked him.
"Matter enough," replied John. "The
boss expects an educated man to spell
Just like a blooming stenographer."

dST 2JJL, & Z&VCZ&L.
O AMAZING have Deen the intellectual
achievements of Winifred Sackvlllo
Stoner, Jr., a ten-year-old Pittsburgh
girl, that Investigators persuaded her
mother and chief teacher, Mrs. Wini
fred Sackvllle Stoner, to write tho
whole story of the child's education
in a book.
This unusual llttlo girl Is already
prepared for college, in addition to
studying astronomy and some other branches. Sho
speaks eight languages; Bhe can recite a thousand
poems and sho has written nearly five hundred
poems and Jingles herself.
Winifred plays the piano well. With no lessons,
except tho game of "making up stories on tho piano,"
she can read over a page of Schubert's "Serenade,"
close the book and play It accurately and with much
expression. She can also hear a difficult selection
nlaved and so keen Is her concentration she can
Immediately sit down at the piano and play it. J2ZSi&rOZ8R JtfW T&H272&0
Winifred draws well and paints admirably. Llko
Browning, one would Imagine she will hardly
.know which to choose for her life work, music,
art or writing, but sho Is very decided as to what
she expects to do. Winifred is going to earn and
buy and be tho editor of a great children's maga
zine. In tracing Winifred's development chronologi
cally It may bo said that she:
Used polysyllables in conversation at tho ago
of one year; read at the ago of sixteen months;
wrote her own name on hotel registers and be
gan keeping a diary at the ago of two; learned
the musical notes and played simple nlrs on tho
piano nnd amazed adepts at spelling at three;
learned tho Latin declensions and conjugations
as singing exercises and received a diploma lu
Esperanto at four; wrote storles-and Jingles for
the newspapers, spoke eight languages, translated
Mother Goose rhymes Into Esperanto,, learned
tho waltz, two-step and three-step at five; learned
tho outlines of Greek, Roman nnd Scandinavian
mythologies at seven; composed a poem naming
and locating nil the bones In the human body at
eight; and was elected president of tho Junior
Peace League of America at ten.
How can readers account for tho fact that
Winifred is a perfectly normal, happy child, romp
ing, singing, loving and lovnble, gay as the ca
nary she Is giving the freedom of tho entire house
and teaching to whistle and to keep perfect time
to alMhe music that she whistles? Winifred has
a hundred dolls. As fast as she learns anything
sho Imparts It to her dolls and pets. Sho Is
ardently devoted to sports. She swims, races,
plays ball, dances and physically sho is as well
as she Is mentally. Her little muscles are strong
as armor bolts. She la at largo as an ordinary
twelve-year-old girl and can walk five miles with
out tho least fatigue.
Winifred's father Is a colonel and a surgeon In
tho Marine hospital service of the United States.
Now ho Is statlbned at Pittsburgh. From him
Winifred undoubtedly gets her splendid physical
care, and she Is a perfectly well child. She Is
practical, like her father,' and possesses all her
mother's love of art and music and the gift of
writing.
No less romarkablo is tho little girl's mother.
Mrs. Stoner In her book, "Nntural Education,"
seems to find nothing In llttlo Winifred's devel
opment that might not bo attained In any healthy,
naturally bright child. If this is conceded for tho
sake of argument, It wouli! have to ho admitted
that very, very few children would havo tho ad
vantages of tho extraordinary cleverness of a
born teacher, such as Winifred's. In fact, Mrs.
Stoner has employed methods peculiarly her own.
It might be said that Mrs. Stoner has given ten
years of constant labor to the education of her
daughter, labor that was not merely constant, but
that was Intelligent and Imaginative as well.
For the whole secret of Wlnlfred'B learning has
boon tho play spirit Whatever sho was taught,
Hone Town
T Helps?
IN A GIRDLE OF GARDENS
it came to her not as toll but as play. She lived
In a land of fairies and giants and gnomes.
In explaining her system, Mrs. Stoner Btarts
out with tho assumption that every child Is born
with a distinctive tendency or talent and that this
will, always bear fruit, If discovered and culti
vated In babyhood. It Is tho mother's part to dis
cover this in infancy and to try to develop it Just
as much as to keep its body clean and see that
it has the proper food. Tho mother's obligation
,beglnB before birth and Imposes upon her tho
duty of keeping herself so healthy and sercno,
bath mentally and physically, that tho baby will
not havo to start out with handicaps on Its very
first day.
Not being able to sing, Mrs. Stonor chanted
tho lines from VIrgll'B Aenold to put tho baby to
sleep and taught tho child's negro nurse to do
tho same. Sho declares that tho meter 'is very
soothing and that she has seen many another
child yield to tho somnolent influence of "Arma
virumquo cano, Trolno qui primus ab oris."
When Winifred was six weeks old her mothnr
began reciting selections from tho English poets.
The baby's favorites seemed to bo Tennyson's
"Crossing tho Bar," nnd Macaulay's "Iloratlus at
the Bridge." By tho tlmo Winifred was a year
old she could repent "Crossing tho Bar" and
scan tho first ten lines of tho Aeneld. Tho mother
invented n gamo In which sho would roll a ball
to tho baby nnd say "Arma." Winifred would
roll It back and say "Virumquo," nnd In this way
tho Latin words and meter wore fixed In the
baby's memory.
From tho very beginning tho mother wquld
carry her baby about the house, point out chairs,
tables, etc., and pronounco their names carefully.
Sho found It was Just as easy to teach tho baby to
say "train" as to say "choo-choo car," and Just as
easy to teach her to say "dog" as to say "dogglo."
Sho surrounded tho baby with colored pictures.
To teach her colore Mrs. Stonor would tnke a box
,of variously tinted yarns. Sho would play she
wns "Mother Red," and baby would bo "Mother
Green," nnd they .would look Into tho yarn for
their children, those of green tints, of course, bo
lng tho babies of "Mother Groon."
Winifred's first toy was a red balloon, which
was tied to her wrist where she could admire It.
Each day thereafter for several weeks thero
would bo a balloon of different color nnd hapo,
until tho child speedily came to know whether a
balloon was light, round, rod, green and would go
up and como down. Sho was never pormltted to
hear anything but tho best English, although tho
mother was not finicky about vigorous, oxpresslvo
slang.
As soon as tho child had learned to spoak Eng
lish reasonably well her mother bogan teaching
her Spanish. By the tlmo sho was flvo sho had
learned to express herself in eight languages.
Mrs. Stoner declares, however, If sho had It to do
over again sho would teach Esperanto flrst,
Throughout all this preliminary Instruc
tion, Winifred was encournged to tako
all tho outdoor exercise possible, and
soon was tho peer of tho boys ofllior
ago In tho neighborhood at wrestling,
or throwing or catching a ball.
From that tlmo, Winifred's life becitmo
a prolonged play of the gamo of "Lot's
Protond." Sometimes sho and her moth
er would "bo somebody" and often each
would bo herself nnd an alter ego. That
Is, Mrs. Stoner would play one nilnutb
thnt sho was herself and tho noxt min
ute that she was her dear friend Nelllo
and Winifred would nlternnto between
being herself and her dear friend Lucy.
In this way thoy often could got up rath
er a sizeable party when about to mako
some now exploration Into tho realm of
knowledge.
Perhaps nothing Is moro lllumlnntlvo
in Mrs. Stonor'B book than her account
of how she taught tho child mathematics.
Winifred had failed to get any Bort of grasp on tho
subject, sho says, until, tho mother wns In despair,
fearing tho child's mind might bo lopsided. At a
Chautauqua meeting in Now York, howovor, tho
mother met Prof. A. R. Hornbrook, a woman mathe
matics teacher, who soon put her on tho right track.
Professor Hornbrook oxplnlned that Mrs. Stonor
had boon successful In teaching music, art, poetry,
history and languages bocauso sho horsolf loved
thoao studies and had failed-to teach mathematics
because sho had not brought tho "fairy Interest" Into
It. She volunteered to send weokly outlines of work,
which Mrs. Stoner was to employ according to hor
own ideas.
Mother and child then begnn playing games with
small objects, such as beans and buttons. Thoao
objects would bo placed In a box and they would
tako turns drawing them out, to Beo which could
got tho most at a single grnb. When helping tho
maid shell peas thoy would try to boo how many
peas thoro wero In two or moro pods. In this
way pudlmentary lessons In nddltlon wero taught.
To make greater progress thoy played parchesl
with small dice and got practico from adding up
tho spots. First they used two dice, but finally
thoy UBed flvo and Winifred wns soon able to ndd
all the" spots without conscious effort. Thoy
plnyed nil sorts of games which would require
slmplo addition and multiplication. In learning
subtraction, thoy would havo battles with tin sol
diers and marbles, and whenever a "cannon shot"
would topplo ovor a glvon number of soldiers,
Winifred wns able to decide how many wero left
standing without stopping to count.
Cancellation became a battlo, ono of thorn play
ing tho numbers on ono side of the dividing lino
and tho other playing tho other. Thoro never
wero any quizzes, becauso Winifred wns taught to
got results and was not taught miles. Sho
learned tho vnlues of money by the nctual uso
of coins nnd tho values of market products by
going to market herself. To learn pharmacist's
weights and measures, Winifred played at keep
ing drug storo nnd sold things to hor mother.
And so It went through the wholo subject, until
at Inst tho girl becamo fascinated with tho funny
doings of Mr. X nnd got Interested in algohra.
Winifred nover suffored tho humiliation ot
physical punishment. When sho did well, the good
Fairy Tltanla would hldo goodies undor her pil
low and when sho was bad tho fairy failed to ap
pear. If sho wns ten minutes tardy nbout somo
task, that meant ten minutes lost which had to
ho taken out of her noxt recreation time. Sho
Boon learned that offenses could bring about their
own unpleasant consequences, while good be
havior meant tangible reward. Sho was never
permitted to stay nt a slnglo task when tho point
of fatigue had arrived.
A striking instanco of Mrs. Stoner's methods,
ns well as an Illustration of tho child's Intellec
tual bias, Is tho story of Winifred and the bumble
boo. In hor zeal to study tho Insect at first hand,
sho picked ono up. Tho natural consequences
followed. While sho wns yet Buffering, Winifred
described her experlenco In theso lines:
Ono day I saw a bumbloboo, bumbling on n rose,
And as I stood admiring him ho stung mo on tho
noso.
My noBo In pain it swelled so largo It looked like
a potato,
So daddy Bald; but mother thought 'twas moro
like a tomato.
And now, dear cliildron, this advico I hope you'll
tako from mo,
And whon you seo a bumblebee just let thnt
bumble bo.

Beautiful German City of Frankfort
Compels the Admiration of
All Visitors.
Can the new world learn from tho
mistaken of tho old? It is a question
one Is constantly asking, says tho Chi
cago Examiner. A thousand years and
moro ago, when tho houses began to
spring up beneath tho shelter ot s
castlo, and those for further protec
tion wero girded by walls, It was not
possible to foresco tho modorn city
with its teeming millions.
Wo nro free. Wo are free to delib
erate to choose, to plan for ionic
generations ahead. Wo are under ob
ligations to plan for posterity. Op
portunity confers obligation.
It is interesting to contrast ono of
tho oldest cltle3 in Europe with ono ot
tho newest; Frankfort, in Germany,
with Lotchworth, In England.
Tho incdioval Frankfort grow up on
tho foundation of an old Roman settle
ment. In tho twelfth century It de
manded for itself moro spaco and
ramparts woro erected. Streets today
run tho course of thoro ramparts. In
ono of thorn it may bo mentioned In
passing, Goothe was born.
In tho fourteenth century Frankfort
had to bo enlarged again lto walls
built round a wldor circumference. In
tho nineteenth century Its walls were
broken down. Tho land on which for
tifications had stood becamo public
gardons; or, If sold to Individuals, car
ried with it tho stipulation that on a.
given area only ono building should be
erected, leaving tho remainder for

which Frankfort Is surrounded, the
pride of hor citizens, the surpriso and
