Fine Clothes the sawe rwiM rhut Complete Phonic System For Use in Primary Grades BY MISS FLORENCE AIKEN A Teacher In the Rosebnrn Public Scbools Books Will be In Use In About 30 Days "A First Book In Phonics" is the title of a new text book for use in primary grades of public school, which will be ready for use in this state about Oct. 15. This brief announcement would ordinarily be sufficient for another text book added to the curriculum of our public schools. Decidedly larger Interest attaches to this one, how ever, for several reasons. Locul in terest is at once intensified by the fact that the author of this new work Is Miss Florence Aiken, a teacher In the Roseburg public schools for the past four years. General interest among school workers is at once aroused by the fnct that this Is the lirst book ever published devoted ex clusively to phonics. Purpose of Phonic System. For the benefit of those not di rectly connected with school work we may say that the phonic system is a device for the teaching of sounds to primary pupils and In cludes all consonants, long and short vowels and their combinations. It 1b to be used in primary grades in conjunction with any primer or firBt reader. The pui'imse of thla system Is to teaclt beginners the sounds of letters and worda by a clear and di rect method Instead of the old nnd complicated system of alphabetic teaching first the letters and then the words and their various sounds. BookB now iu use in our schools are designated as "word hooks," in stead of phonics. Where "word books" are used as a text, the phon ics, or teaching of sounds, are loft to the Ingenuity of teacherB, result ing in a wide variation of instruc tion. With this book in use the sys tem of phonic instruction will he the same in all schools, resulting in uniform and harmonfouB results. It will also save time, labor and black board space, because these bookB will place the complete phonic syB tem In the hands of every pupil nnd obviate the necessity of placing the characterB On the blackboard for drill work. In these books everything Is made clear, even to those who have not hitherto Been the phonic sys tem. Hooks Already Adopted. This phonic system has been adopt ed by the Oregon state hoard of edu cation as a supplementary work to the text books already in use. Other stntes already have it under consider ation. It promises to be the greatest aid In primary teaching that has ever been offered to teachers and pupils. It will doubtless Boon be adopted Into the regular courses of study throughout the country. Hooks Very Attractive. These books are being published r.y the well-known publishing house or Atkinson, Mentzer & Orover, of Chicago, the publishers of the beau tiful Art Literature Primers. They are very handsomely printed nnd are hound In cloth in the same style as the Art Literature series. A goodly number of fine Illustrations adorn the pages, and among these are por traits of several Koseburg children. Other local views are also Included. The Illustrations are printed In sepia tint, with shaded borders and pre sent a fine, artistic appearance, In keeping with the remainder of the work. Mechanically the hooks are of high artistic merit, yet they will be placed on sale at the very nominal price of 25 cents each. Already a Reconl-Hreaker. In their ten years of active busi ness as text book publishers, Messrs. Atkinson. Mentzer & Orover say this l.i the first work they have ever had presented and accepted within an hour. Being a complete work In phonics they afterwards stated that It was "just what they wanted." The hook has been copyrighted in both the United States and Great Britain, including Canada. This work has already received the approval of Governor Chamberlain Secy, of State Benson and such well known educators as state Hupi. ack erman. Pres. P. L. Campbell, of the University of Oregon; 8upt. It. F. Robinson, Portland; City Supt. J. M. Powers. Salem; City Supt. A. M. Sanders, Albany; City Supt. L. L. Baker, Koseburg, and numerous oth ers.
