THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. METHODS OF FKIMABY KEACINQ. V. The Associative, or Eclectio. By William Noclllng. Th "associative" or "cclective method " of teaching the beginnings of reading, though used by many teachers throughout the country be fore 1865, was, so far as I can remem ber, not published until that year, when Dr. J. P. Wickersham's Methods of Instruction appeared. In this book, after stating the objections to the alphabetic, the word and the phonic methods, Wickersham said that since none of these methods taken alone was without objections, a more satisfactory one than any of them could be formed by a selection and combination of the best of each of them, and to this method he gave the name " associative " or " eclcc tive." This method begins with words with which the children are familiar, words which they recognize through the ear. After they havj learned a hundred or' more of them throngh the eye, they are taught or helped to analyze them into their sounds, or powers. They arc also taught the signs, or letters, that represent the sounds and to combine them into words. The names of the letters are ' taught incidentally in speaking of them while writing. Both oral and written spelling are taught with this method. Not unlike many other good things, this method encountered much op position ; and, strange to say, it came largely from those who should gladly have adopted it the teachers. They could see nothing but forebod ings of evil in anything that required a change from tiieir idol, the alpha betic method, which they had so long and easily worshipped. They point ed with pride to tne number of men in high stations who had been led to their success by this "well tried" mode of instruction. Danuel Web ster, whom not a lew of them believ ed to be the author of the dictionary, was frequently named as an example of what the method accomplished ; and since the new method could show no such illustrious products of its possibilities, its fate was at once and forever considered sealed.. They declared that the names of the letters were a necessity to spelling and spelling a necessity to reading. They went even so far in their asser tions as to say that good reading was an impossibility without good spell ing. Requiring pupils to analyze words into their elementary sounds tliey ridiculed; called it nonsense; child ish 1 Thev declared with the greatest as surance that it was impossible to teach pronunciation without first teaching the names of the letters and spelling. They could easily see their own experience bear'ng them evidence that the name3 of objects in nature, of animals, for example, not only could be learned, but were learned without a synthesis, or spell ing, of the names of their parts; but how the same could be done with words was an enigma which, their und erstanding could not solve. The opposition to the new, at some places, took the form of an epidemic j the infection passing from the teach ers to the parents, and through them even to the children. These, from instructions of their parents refused to take part in any exercises other than those of the "long established and ap proved kind." The method however, gradually se cured a foot-hold, especially in the more intelligent communities, where a better class of teachers was employed. Although the superiority of the new cer the .old was plainly seen wher ever it was introduced, it was not an unusual thing to hear it said by those who were unfriendly to it, that child ren who did not know their a. b. c's. were allowed to read, and this was all the evidence they wanted of the er roneousness and failure of the method. The general principles of the "ec lectic method," so clearly in the line of correct pedagogy, rame to stay. Up to the present time they have left behind them the wrecks of all other methods, nd with the improvements which the experience of the wisest , heads has suggested, and especially those lately added, and hereafter to be explained, will continue to receive the endorsement of the leading educators and teachers of the land. As will be observed, this method like all others explained and discuss ed in this series of articles, is not one of reading, but of pronouncing. The learning of the pronunciation of dis connected words is no more reading than learning the names of figures and numbers in arithmetic is learning cal culation or arithmetic. As stated in a previous article, reading is thinking and thinking requires connected discourse-sentences. This is a distinc tion that must not be over looked in discussing the subject of reading. TO UK CONTINUED. Illinois finds employment for all her penitentiary convicts, convict labor having been abolished. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Unpropitious Holiday Weatlior. Several years ago there was issued, under the direction of the signal ser vice bureau at Washington, an inter esting volume giving the weather proverbs of almost all nations, and most of them concur in regarding a warm, muddy Christmas as decidedly undesirable. Here are a few of these proverbs applicable to the season : A light Christmas, a heavy sheaf." "If the sun shines through the ap pie tree on Christmas day, there will be an abundant crop the following year." "A green Christmas makes a full graveyard." "A green Christmas indicates a green Easter." A German proverb declares, "The shepherd would rather see his wife enter the stable on Christmas day than the sun." "Christmas wet gives empty granary and barrel." "If it snows on Christmas night, we expect a good hay crop next year." "At Christmas meadows green, at Easter covered with frost." "Christmas in mud, Easter in snow." "If at Christmas ice hangs on the willow, clover may be cut at Easier." The following antique poetry, some what scant in rhyme and reason, we reproduce believing it to be at least equal to modern weather prophecy : If Christmas day on Tuesday be, That year shall many women (tin, And that winter (trow great marvels; Hlilps shall be In great perils j That year shall kings and lords be slain, Ami uiuny other people near Iheui; A dry Hummer that year shall be As all that are born iherein may seo ; They shall be s'ruruf and covetous. For thou stialt die t hrough sword or knlto, But If thou rail sick 'Us certain Thou Shalt, turn to life again. It must be be admitted that the general drift of these proverbs is not reassuring this season ; but after all we may take heart, for the same proverbial wisdom tells us that "After a rainy winter follows a fruitful spring." OLD HEW YEAR'S DAYS. And so, during my early boyhood, it always happened that New Year's Day wan the most important and festal in the entire calendar. Before the city grew so large that " calling " died into desuetude, its brilliancy, gayety, and bustle were a kind of carnival, Intensely vivacious and by no means unpicturesqe. Along Fifth Avenue and its adjacent side streets carriages would almost swarm from mid day till late in the after noon. Gentlemen thought nothing of paying sixty or eighty visits in the space of nine or ten hours, and some times it was almost midnight before their full list was completed. Ladies, and especially the young belles in society, would make playful com parisons with one another, on January second, of the number of callers they had received. Sometimes the sharp strain of their haste gave a harlequin attitude to certain " droppers in." In deed, " poppers " (both in and out) would have been a better name for them. I used to tell myself, while too young for any sharing of their nomadic gallantries. Toward the last, just be fore the whole idea collapsed utterly, it had taken, beyond doubt, hues of artificially quite absurd. The pleasant est and most natural visitors, I was wont to remark, were middle-aged gentlemen who looked on the habi tude both seriously and healthfully. Their lists did not stretch on to the crack of doom, and they were gen uinely glad to cross each threshold on which their footsteps fell, and sire that those who waited beyond would be equally glad of their coming.

When this di sease fastens upon an individual with its soreness and pain, swelling the joints, rendering him help less in his movements, he is indeed an tibiect of tiitv. The sliuht Dain in the j 1 - - o ; back, joints or muscles, is a warning indication ot an improvisnea condition of the blood, and if not attended to at once, means rheumatism. Since the introduction of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, there have been fewer rheumatic sufferers. Favorite Remedv drives out rheumatic poison from the blood, restores the circulation, strengthens the nerve Dower. The best proof of its value, is the good it has done. "1 was afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism for fifteen years," writes Mr. E. P. Tayer, ot East Nassau, N. Y., "so severe that I was supposed to be a cripple for life. Under physi dans' treatment I grew worse. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy helped me from the time I first used it, and entirely cured me." The beautiful daughter of Mr. James McFarland, of DeMoines, la., was helpless for months with sciatic rheumatism After a few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, she began to grow better, and continuing its use was cured. Mr. G. Lansing, of Troy, N. Y., had rheumatism so bad that he had to be turned over in bed. After using nr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy but a short while, was restored to health. Why then suffer with rheumatism or neuralgia? This medicine will help you. Heart Disease Believed in 30 Minutes.
