part of evening to this important, but too
much neglected branch. His course of in
rtriit-linii was based upon Sanders' and Mer- j
nil division or the elementary sounds, lie
expressed his preference for this system, be-i-uiHO
it was more' simple and practical, mid
more easily acquired by the young, than the
critical and overloaded systems of BJtue an
thors. He rjueationed the rlss q'lite e.xten
airely upon the elementary sounds, and the
riles of spelling nnd pronuticialiun. In tt-at-h-hik'
