Second, ander no nrcamtances should more than fifteen minutes daily be devoted to the subject Whatever bent Qt the pupils receive from any instruction in spellin:; will be obtained within this period. Third, 1 would recommend that Lbs words be carefully graded, not; only In regard to orthographical dlfScnlties, bal in accordance with the vocabulary of che child as well. In this way tlie course of spelling might become as systematic as in other subjects. Fourth, precedence should be given to common words, while technical and unusual words ahould be taught laddentally. i excluding words of the lar.ter das - the course would be materially abridged and ti.r-- chances of producing good practical spellers proportionately tacreased. Fifth, the course should be further abridged by excluding words tii.it contain no catch 1. e., which natural)? seU themselves. .v.. researches on this point would Indicate that more than half the common words belong to this category and, consequently, neel not be studied. The ideal groan 1 to be covered in spelling would be reprcsented. then fore, by a carefully graded list of the common words most liable to be misspelled. The number of words In this list, according to my estimate, would be i . - ' ii k.cuu md 7,i .
