ATKINSON COUNTY SCHOOLS
Open Letter to the Teachers,
Trustees and Patrons.
I’kakhox, ('a., Sept. 1, 1919.
To the Teachers, Trustees and Pa
trons of the Schools of Atkinson
County:
We want to make this the best
year that this section lias ever ex
perieneed in educational matters.
The law now provides that each
child between the ayes of eight
and fourteen must attend school
for at least six months in the year.
The only excuse that can be ion
derod is sickness. If any one in
the county who, because of niisfor
tune or other reason, finds it im
possible for him or her to comply
with the law, if such person will
come lo me or in any wav get me
word, I will do my utmost to help
sui li an one overcome the cm bar
rassineut. The children must la
in school. Teachers should inline
diately report any absentees from
other causes than sickness. By
the end of the first month each
teacher should be. in position to
certify that he or she has the name
of every child in the community
between the ages of six and eigh
teen enrolled whether in school or
out of school. And this certificate
must be made before a check can
be mailed to said teacher.
Following is given a list of
“Don'ts" to be observed and also
an explanation as to how to teach
the New Method. I shall not in
sist upon any teacher or set of
trustees adopting either. I think
that teachers and trustees should
be allowed their own individuality,
but I do make this request: where
the trustees and teachers of any
school are willing to comply with
the “Don’ts" and desire to teach
or have taught the "New Method”
t hey let me know at an early date
so I can mark such school for the
purpose of comparison, so that the
merits of the old and new methods
may be relatively determined.
It is my purpose to furnish eve
ry Teacher and Trustee in the
county with a copy of the paper
containing this article with the re
quest that you put it away where*
it will be preserved for future ref
crenee. I would be glad to dis
cuss any one or all of these sugges
lions with any trustee or teacher
as we may have opportunity. If
you disagree with me 1 shall not
fall out with you in the least, but
will extend every courtesy to you
and your school as 1 do to those
that follow these plans.
Yours truly,
SaXKKY lk K>TH.

How to Teach the New Method
Assemble the class so that each
pupil can readily point to each
word,
(a) S|h*l I and pronounce the
words to the first review, having
class to pronounce them, but do
not allow- pupils to call letters.
Be sure that every child in the
class (mints to each word. Do not
allow pupils to be looking up as
they recite, but have them move
on quickly to the next word when
a word is pronounced.
kb) Spell the words to the first
review, have pupils pronounce as
they point to each word.
(c) Take up balance of book a
jiage at the time, spell the words
over three or four times as in Lb).
Begin each new recitation at the
beginning of the look and proceed
as in Lb) until you reach the
lesson assigned, but in all new
words combine t,a) and (b\
(d) When you have finished
the book in this way start back at
the first and teach the letters
thoroughly as they occur in the
words. Use any device to teach
the letters, but do not attempt to
teach other letters except those
found in the words. Take the
word “have,” teach “v," "e,” “a.”
and "h.” Then let the elass first
and then each member sih*ll the
won! and pronounce it, thus:
“have have.” (!o on this way to
the first review.
(e) Now we are ready to take
up reading so we begin at the first
of the book again. Have each
pupil spell the words and read the
sentences below. If a word is not
recognized let the pupil spell it
and pronounce it but never allow
him to proceed after he has failed
to recognize a word by sight, but
have him begin the whole sentence
>ver again. Each pupil, in turn,
spells the words and reads the
s- ilences below in this way. Take
up the next page in the same way
a id the next on through the book.
15-gin each recital ion several pages
i ck of he assigned lesson, calling
.n one pupil to spell the words and
: *ad the sentences below on one
•age and another the next until
the assigned lesson is reached when
etch in •turn spells the words and
reads the sentences below. Do not
leave any work for good until the
elass is absolutely familiar with it,
;o on through the book in this
way. Have daily drills in pro
nouncing the words, that is, the
teacher starts at the first of the
book and spells the words hav
ing the class to pl’onouncc as they
point to each word. This daily
drill should cover ail the spelling
words from the first of the book
up to the assigned lesson. The
object of this drill is to teach the
pupils the phonetic sounds of the
letters.
(f) The First and Second
readers are taught like the Primer
except in (a) the pupils say noth
ing, but only point to each word
as the teacher spells and pronoun
cos it. And in (b) one pupil at
the time recites, one pupil pro
nouncing one word and the next
another and so on. Be sure that
each member of the class points
dilligently to each and every word
as it is being pronounced, in read
ing it is the same. Please note
that in the Primer the one recit
ing points to each word whether
it be spelling or reading, but in
the Readers the one reciting does
not point out the words as he re
cites, but all others in the class
point dilligently to each word be
ing recited whether it be spelling
or reading. Some will say this
will form habits that cannot be
overcome but this criticism is un
founded and unproven and cannot
be established.
(g) Teach the diacritics as
they appear in the books but not
in connection with this method.

The “Don’ts.”
What little success I have ever
had in the school room is due to
the observing of the following
rules. If you follow these rules
you will succeed.
Don’t allow pupils to whisper in
the preparation of the lesson. If
you hear a whisper there is some
thing wrong, correct it.
Don’t allow pupils to pass about
the room for any reason.
Don’t allow a pupil to ask any
question of the teacher or any one
except at recitation.
Don’t allow one pupil to prompt
another during recitation.
Don’t allow pupils to shake their
hands at any t ime.
Don’t allow pupils to "pop” their
fingers, neither should the teacher
pop her finger at any time.
Don’t allow pupils to sneak to
the teacher from their seals, neitli
or should a teacher speak to a
pupil from her desk except at re
citation.
Don’t allow pupils to write notes
about anything.
Don't allow pupils to read library
books or write letters in time of
school.
Don’t allow pupils to wrestle or
play in a way to tear or black each
others clothes.
Don't allow pupils to snatch or
hide each others hats.
Don’t allow pupils to play with
water.
Don’t allow pupils to argue over
a game.
Don't fail to acquaint yourself
xvith the chronic ailments of pupils;
all pupils are so effected. Don’t
restrain a pupil with a chronic
trouble.
Don't allow well pupils to be
continually passing out of the
building for water, etc. A well
pupil should rarely ever have to
leave the building in time of school.
Don't refuse to allow a pupil to
leave the "building for water,
etc., when he claims to be sick but
mark that pubil and you can soon
determine whether or not he is
really sick.
Don't allow boys and girls to
talk to each other except in the
presence of all. Don't allow any
playing of “sweet hearts'" at
school or on the way to or from

Reasons!
Why you should use
Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, for your troubles,
have been shown in
thousands of letters from
actual users of this medi
cine, who speak from
personal experience. If
the results obtained by
other women for so many
years have been so uni
formly good, why not
give Cardui a trial?

school. This rule applies to teach
ers as well as pupils, let teachers
scrupulously observe this.
Don’t discourage pupils in their
effort to keep you posted about
happenings that are of a nature to
prove detrimental to the best in
terest of the school.
Don't arrange your program so
that any class will have less than
six lessons each day. Count these
lessons up to the pupils so that
they will not go home and tell
that they have had only one or
two lessons.
Don't remain in the building
while children are out at play.
Don't tell a patron that it is
none of his business how you
manage the school.
