A SUGGESTION

Why do students in Grade XI altar having eleven years in school write so poorly? Is it possible that instead of asking our stu- dents to work formal exercises in sentence structure from a com-

, ‘position text we should ask them

to correct the mistakes to be found in their own exercise books and instead of asking them to writs all their esuys on artificial

thernu we should ask them to write their work in mathanatics. science and history in good Big- lish? Would this not tend to break down the feeling on the part of the students that thg limit-i of the composition class is a m. cial kind of Blllish to b0 used only in English classes? —Manitoba School Journal.

NOTE TAKING

It is important to take notes for review purposes as you go along, but it is also important that they be notes containing the gist of what is important and not a. lot of irrelevant and unimportant details. Select that which is rele- vant. discard that which is less si nlfloant. When studying from a k of your own, underlnc im- mrtant points with a red crayon pencil and make notes in the mar- gin of the page. These marked pages and vour special note cards or note book will be valuable for

Natural pearls are found inside the shells of certain kinds of molluaca, such as pearl Oysters. fresh water mussels and others. The most valuable Pearls come from the pearl oysters that grow in the warm water: oi the Red Sea, Persian Gulf. the northern coast of Australia and the islands of- the Pacific. But true pearls, some of them of rare beauty and valued at manv thousands of dol- lars. have been found in mussels taken from the rivers and streams of the Missssippi Valley and of many other sections of the Uni- ted States. You have seen sea- ahells with lovely, glistenifi lin- ings of Pearl. This pearl l pg is made. of name. a substance manu- factured by the creatures _ that liva in the shells, from chemicals drawn from the water surround- ing them». This pearl shell is what we call mother-of-pearl. Some- times a tinv gram of sand. or perhaps a little parasite. works its way into the shell of a mollusc. and gets caught in the soft mantle, or membrane, that lies between the shell and the creature inside. This irritates the tender mem-

TOWARD SPELLING

well started. the child is ready. and needs nto learn to use some of the symbols in written form.

Then comes readiness and need for spelling.

4. Specific learning habits and attitudes in spelling are developed most economically and efficiently through such language experiences as pupil discussion of topics vital to them. about which they have a real urge to write. and for which

they need spelling.

S. Provision for variou. types of im- agery as aids in learning spelling: correct pronunciation. seeing let- ter sequencv when written. form- ing letters correctly when writ- ing. 4.
