THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. PRIMARY READING. II. By William Noctlinrj. Reading is thinking not word calling. No child can read faster than it can think, hence slow thinkers are slow readers slow in learning to read. Slow pupils and quick pupils should not be classed together in school work A pupil may, too, be slower id one subject than in another. All the organs and parts of a child's body do not grow and develop with equal rapidity. While some parts are almost at a stand-still, others are advancing. Marked differences in both mental and physical development are found in members of the same family. Some children grow at a regular rate in height, or seem to do so, until full stature has been reached ; others grow for a while, then a period of arrest rets in, or sometimes several such periods occur, before the whole stature has been attained. Some people attain their full height much later than others. It must not, however, be supposed that all growth shares that of the halt of height. While one part or organ seems to rest, as before stated, others n re developing. The different parts of the brain do not in all individuals complete their growth together, hence the differences of mental development in children. Some learn rapidly in everything, others enough so in perhaps one or two subjects, but slowly in others, and 1 those of a third class are slow in every thing. Heredity, too, is not an insignia cant factor in mental growth. This fact is, however, usually over looked when children's progress is under con sideration. Age alone is supposed to be the proper gauge. Few parents, no matter how slow or dull their children may be, are willing to admit that they are inferior in mental grasp to the best. This is ignorance that it is diffi cult to dispel. Unfortunately this igno rance is not confined to parents or patrons of the schools, but too many teachers seem incapable of under standing why all pupils of the same age or class do not make the same progress. It is not an uncommon thing to hear teachers ask. " How much arithmetic should a child of eight years, for example, know ? How well should it be able to read ? How many words should it be able to spell ? How well should it be able to write ?" Would it share much less knowledge of child psychology and of pedagogics to ask how tall such a child should be? What it should mtasure across the shoulders ? How much it should weigh ? How fast it should be able to talk, walk, or run ? What can be expected of the aver age parent in a subject of which teachers know so little? Parents, in deed, are excusable ; they have enough on their hands if they keep up with the progress of their own vocation j but what palliation can teachers claim for ignorance on a subject of such vital importance to the intelligent prosecution of their calling as that of the re'ation of physical to mental development ? If every child of the same age does not advance with equal step, the blame is placed to the credit of the teacher or her method. Yet every one who has had opportunities to observe the differences in progress of child ren during their early school years, cannot have failed to notice marked difference in their advancement, some learning as much in one year as others in four, rive, or even more Differences in the rote of develop ment are not limited to the early years of life. The same thing is found in persons of mature years. It is true that sometimes two or even more are found of at least seemingly equal mental nenetration and physical skill but these do not constitute the rule ; thev are the exceptions. The rule is difference, variety: and it is high time that both teachers a.id parents take note of it and stop expecting im possibilities-forcibly distorting nature v.u fn.in.r to make levels where no conditions have been provided for them. THE WORD METHOD. With whom this method originated, or whether it originated with several persons, neither knowing anything of the other, is not known. If my memory is not at fault, there was a statement in the Pennsyl vania School Journal some years ago that the method had been used by a teacher in the Keystone State as early as 1824. But the credit of both discovering and publishing the method is by general agreement be lieved to belong to J.Russell Webb, a teacher at the time (1846) at Water town, New Vork. This method be gins with reading, not like the alpha betic, with pronunciation.. As its name implies, it begins with words. The child comes to school with quite a vocabulary, which jt has learned in the natural way, by associating the names of objects, qualities, and ac tions with the objects, qualities, and actions themselves. Not only ha3 it a large stock of words thus in store, but, more than this, the idioms, ne cessary to express its thoughts in the sphere of life in which it moves. It has acquired thoughts as fast as it needed them ; no faster. It has not been required to lay in stock a num. ber of incomprehensible thoughts and expressions that might come into use ex- presses in spoken word3. It under stands the thoughts of others when spoken, and when within the li.nits of its experience. Iti natural for it to speak its thoughts and to compre. end those of otheis when spoken. A spoken word is a representative of an idea, of a thought procesi, and when heard, to bj apperceived, m-ist creato or call into consciousness, its appro priate concept Before entering school the child learned to associate the names of things with the things themselves t in other words, it learned the names of things, and when it heard the names, it pictured to itself the things for which they stand. Upon entering school this process is simply extended it now associates the name with the written or printed word, and either calls up the other, if the association is com plete. Now the visible word also talis into consciousness the idea or con cept, and thus there is scarcely a break in the natural way of learning. This method, too, accords with the well recognized pedagogic principle, not to add difficulties to those which the child necessarily meets. As will be seen by those versed in the study of mental activities, this method i3 strictly psychological. It is natural to go from the spoken word to the written ; it is going directly and in the most direct manner to the end aimed at, namely reading. No matter by what method the first steps in read ing are taught, it mil t ultimately come to words. This being incontro "MM vertible, it follows that it is logically as well as pedagogically correct to begin with them. Spelling is taught in connection with this method by requiring all the early reading lessons to be copied, and later, when it believed not to interfere with reading, words of the reading lessons are dictated to be spelled orally and in writing. 1 heoretically it would seem that children taught by the pure word- method could not help themselves to the pronunciation of new words, but practically they do so. They notice resemblances of word formations and of correspondences of sounds, or pro nunciation. It is however true that this method does not furnish a direct clue to pronunciation LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE 1895.
