'were taught was the alphabet. A large chart was placed on a 3-legged stand with all the letters printed in large black type, and slowly and laborously you learned your A, B, Cs if you had not already done so at mother's knee. Then when you mastered these letters to a certain extent you were taught that c-a-t spelled cat. But that is not the case with your children. They are not taught the alphabet. But they can pick up a primer, even if they are still in the primary department, and can read you sentence after sentence; still they do not know the alphabet. For, like many other things that were common in your childhood, the alphabet is old style. The rational method of reading is taught in the schools now, and has been taught several years, but probably you did not realize it. When a child enters the primary grade now a simple word is written on the blackboard, and the child is told what the word is. He learns it; gets a mental picture of it; he knows it. More words are gradually learned until he has acquired a large number. And any combination of these words is familiar to him. A visitor sat in the primary room at one of the Richmond schools yesterday afternoon while a class in reading was in progress. The children have been in school six weeks and they have learned eighty-three words all simple easy words, chiefly nouns and verbs. But they can read out of the primer with ease and expression any sentence in which any of these words are used. They have been reading in the primer only a few days. "You may read for us now, Harriet," said the teacher, and little golden haired Harriet arose in her seat with the primer in her hand. She stood a

She knew what she was reading, yet had you asked her what letters made up the word dog, she could not have told you. Then dark-haired George read that Jack had some bread and that he was going to give it to the dog, and many other interesting and enlightening sentences. When you read in your old primer, you slowly spelled out the fact that the boy sees the dog, and you read it with about as much expression as a judge swearing in a prisoner. For you had only a hazy idea what you were reading. You were thinking too much about spelling out each combination of letters. In the spring, when the children have read their primers through, they learn the alphabet. It is easy then. They are familiar with the appearance of the letters, and it does not take them long to learn their names. The pupils now are being taught the phon

ograms. The sound of the letter "V is told them, and then the word "ight" is added, and they know instantly that the word is "fight. And in the same way the other words are placed together. In the tiny front seat a small boy was busy with a slate. He was w riting. "But how can he write if he doesn't know the alphabet?" you ask. EaEily enough. He knows what the words look like and he can write them on his slate. He can write out that the boy runs, and know what it means without knowing that the letters are t, h, e, b, o, y, and the like. "This is by far the easiest and the simplest method of teaching reading," said the teacher. "We would rather that the parents not teach their children the alphabet before they come to school, as it does them no good." "Now you may study your lessons a while," she said. And soon there was a buzzing as the little pupils read to themselves "Jack has the dog" and other sentences. For the children now are allowed to whisper to themselves when they read. They get the sound of the words then and can read them. "It is all new very new. And upsets all the old ideas about learining to read. But they learn.

Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should neer receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be . party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willf ully with narcotics.
