Ninth. Spell orally until one-half of the contestants are spelled down; then give a written spelling test. This written work must be legible. The pupils receiving 100 per cent. on the written test will return to the floor and continue in oral spelling.

Tenth. A word shall not be pronounced more than twice, and if the word has two meanings the definition of the word shall be given by the pronouncer.

Eleventh. All capitals and distinguishing marks shall be given by the contestant.

Twelfth. Each participating township, or city is invited to send its two best or winning contestants to the country, contest.

Suggestions: Each teacher is to use his own plans and devices in determining as to the two best spellers in his school, and that are to represent the school in the contest of the local township, town or city. The record of the daily grades secured on the spelling recitations, the use of the spelling scale, spelling for head marks; and the spelling match are devices that may be employed in determining as to the two best spellers.

The New Way of Teaching Children to Read

Summers Manual for use in teaching children to read, published by Lloyd Adams Noble, 31 West 15th Street. New York, which costs only 50 cents, deserves a place on every Primary Teacher's desk, no matter what method of teaching reading may be in use in the school. Its sound pedagogic principles, helpful suggestions about planning the work and correlating blackboard sentences and dramatizations of the lessons with the regular text and the useful Phonic Lessons arranged for the first three years, make a study of the book worth every teacher's while. It will be still more valuable if used in connection with the Summers Primer, First, Second and Third Readers which embody this new way of teaching children to read. Please mention this magazine.

SOUTHWESTERN TEACHERS' ASSO

CIATION.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.-Before the annual meeting of the Southwestern Indiana Teachers' Association adjourned November 29, a resolution was passed asking that the state legislature make provisions to prevent the state board of tax commissioners from reducing local school levies. The resolution also declared that teachers should receive a just salary at all times and pointed to strikes and walkouts on the part of the teachers as being un-American.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, R. E. Eckert, county school superintendent of Dubois county; vice-president, J. S. Johnson, of Evansville; secretary and treasurer, John Orville Chewning, principal of the Evansville High School; recording secretary, Miss Margaret Wilson, of Jasper; executive committee, William Vogel, of Boonville, chairman; Floyd Ragland, of Evansville; Barrett Cockrum, of Princeton, J. H. Diehl, of Rockport, and Lee Mullen, of Perry county. More than 1,100 teachers registered for the meeting.

Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, formerly Governor of Pennsylvania and L. N. Hines,

state superintendent of public instruction, were the speakers at the closing session.

The committee on reorganization and resolutions recommended that the offices of secretary and treasurer be combined and made a permanent office to be held by the principal of the Central High School of Evansville; that two members of the executive board be retained each year, three new ones to be elected, and that the president appoint a committee to revise the constitution and by-laws of the association to be presented at the meeting next year.

The resolutions adopted also favored increasing the salaries of the teachers until they receive salaries commensurate with those received by persons in callings demanding equivalent educational attainments; that in rural communities and the smaller towns of nonattendance and probation offices be combined and such an officer be given magisterial powers with the salary increased sufficiently to obtain an efficient

person.

Those who served on the committee of reorganization and resolutions were: W. V. Mangrum, of Owensville, chairman; W. S. Painter, of Mt. Vernon; Miss Lula J. Robinson, of Evansville; J. W. Strassell, of Rockport, and Mrs. Marion Kifer, of Boonville.
