METHOD OF USING SLATES IN A
SPELLING KECITATION.
Those who spell well orally do not
always write correctly. Every .teacher
has witnessed and wondered at this
fact. It may be that in oral spelling
we rely more upon the sense of hear
ing than upon that of seein?, and that
in written spelling the reverse is true.
Itliatever may he the cause, the fact
is stated, arid herie'e' the necessity that
pupils should have amine practice in
spelling words by writing them.
This exercise may be conducted by
using slates. The pupils having made
the necessary preparation by locking
elosely at the words of the lesson,
writing them, and naming the letters
composing- them, are supposed to be
conveniently seated, each with a slate
and pencil.
The teacher now prouounces the
words of the lesson, or such of them a3
he may select, and all the pupils write
them. When all the words have been
written, the teacher must ascertain
how many of them have been spelled
correctly.
For this purpose, I have found the
best plan to be for the teacher to
epell the words in the order ho gave
them out, and require each pupil to
mark stfcli of them as he may have
misspelled.
Pupils may, however, spell the words
by turns, or as called upon, and correct
one another, marking misspelled w ords
as before. , , . ,
How to dispose of the misspelled
words is an interesting question. It
would be a great mistake merely to
liave them marked, and then allow
them to pass without further notice.
It is an excellent plan to require each
tmpil to write upon paper lists of all
the words he misspelled, and then to
make special preparation to spell them
at certain fixed times, once a week, or
more frequently, in a review lesson.
At such a recitation, all the lists must
be handed to the teacher, and he can
assign the words in the usual manner;
-inri :i? each pupil has only the words
inisspelled by himself to prepare, it can
justly be expected that no mistake win
be made.
In addition to the attainment of the
ability to write words correctly, some
of tho advantages of this me thod are
that each pupil has the opportunity of
spelling all the words of the lesson, all
the members of the class are constant
ly employed, during the recitation, no
one who does not know his lesson can
escape detection, and misspelled words
can be re-studied and recited a second
time. "Wickebsiiam.

WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY
THE WEEELY fiCN is too widely known to
require any extended recommendation : lut
the reasons which have already given it fir y
thousand subscribers, and which will, we hope,
give it many thousands more, are briefly as
follows :
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of
the lay will be f omul in it condensed when un
important, at full len.stlt- when of moment, and
always presented iu a elear, intelligible, and in
teresting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of enter
taining and instructive rending of every kind,
but containing nothing that can offend the most
delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is alirst-rate story paper. Thcbtst tales
and romances of current literature are carefully
selected and legibiy printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural pajier. The most
fresh and instructive articles oti agricultural
tonics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belong
ing to no party and wearing iu collar. It fights
for principle and the election of the best men
to office. It especially devotes its energies to
the exiosure of the great corruptions that now
weakeu and disgrace our country, and threaten
to undermine republican institutions altogether
Hints no fear of knaves, and asks no. favors
from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the cattle mar
kets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
One dollar a vear will secure it for any subscri
ber. It is not. necessary to get tin a club in or
der to have the weekly SUN at this rate. Any
one who sends a single dollar will gt the paper
for a year.

MEETING OF THE CASS COUNTY
EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
The Cass County Educational Asso
ciation is called to meet at Eight Mile
Grove the last Friday and Saturday of
December.
This is a very important meeting, and
we trust the teachers of the county
will make it convenient to le present.
This will be the time of annual elec
tion of officers, and hence the import
ance of a full attendance
YVe think the County Superintend
ent has made a wiso choice for the
place of meeting. Eight Mile Grove
i3 of course not quite in the "center of
the county," yet we doubt if any other
point could have been selected which
would have been more convenient for
the majority or teachers.
The people of Eight Mile Grove are
among the most . progressive in the
county; not only in improving and
cultivating their farms, but they have
given strong evidence of their interest
in Education by the erection of one of
the best school houses in the county.
We trust that we may be pardoned
he pleasant anticipation of a most cor
dial reception by the people of that
place, and the confident belief that the
citizens will cheerfully unite with us
in the effort to make this meeting of
the Association one of interest, profit
and pleasure. Fellow teachers of the
county, let us .all meet, and after the
arduous labors of the past year, have a
social, pleasant and happy re-union.

To fully realize the wonderful work which tlie
Ahiine is iloin: for-the cause of art culture in
America, it is only necessary to consider the
cost to the people of any otner lecent repre
sentations of tlie productions of great paint
ers. In addition to designs !y the Tiiemheis of the
Xational Academy, and oilier noted American
iirtists, tlie Aldine will reproduce examples of
the best foreign masters, selected with a view
to the highest artistic success and greatest gen
eral interest. Thus the subscriber to the Al
dine will, ;at :i trilling cost, enjoy iu his own
home the pleasure and refining influences of
true art.

(irnthviH a: I am delighted with the proof
in color of vour chronms. They are wonderful
ly successful representations "by mechanical
process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) Thos. Mokan.
Thse chronuw are in everv sense American.
They are bv an original American process, with
material of American manufacture, from de
signs of American scenery by an American
painter, mid presented to subscribers to the first
siicc-cs&ful American Art Journal. If no better
because of all this, they will certainly possess
an interest no foreign production c:;n inspire,
and neither are they anv the worse if by reason
of peculiar f icilities of production they cost
the publishers only a trifle, while c.pial in evry
respect to other chroi ios that are sold siuly
for double tile subscription price of the Ah'.in-.
I'erson of tr.ste will prize these pictures for
themselves nor for the price they d:dordid
not ew.t, and will aoureciate the enterprise that
renders their distribution oossible.
If anv Ruhsci iber sli.mid indie ite a preference
for a fi'-'ure sabiect, the nubhsher will send
