Improvement in
Predicted by Book Publisher
By MARY PRIME
United Press Correspondent
New York iU.R! One spelling
expert says that today's young
est generation, when grown, will
have little need for a dictionary
to check the spelling of words.
W. MacLean Johnson, presi
dent of Webster Publishing com
pany, St. Louis, predicts that
high school graduates will be
telling parents how to spell, in
stead of parents moaning about
what poor spellers young people
are.
Johnson based his forecast on
a new method of teaching.
Schools began a new spelling
program last year. So far, John
son said, 5,000.000 children are
learning by this new method.
And in five years, Johnson ex
pects most of the nation's schools
will be using it, from the second
grade through the eighth.
Phonetics Base
This new technique set down
in a book called "New Goals in
Spelling" combines sight and
sound. A pupil is taught to think
of the word in terms of sound,
then of the letter that produces
these sounds.
Two educators wrote the book

Oscar F. My wife's pets 8re

Karen F. Animals are better

Oscar F. My wife is just
crazy about pets and she is driv
ing me out of the house.
We have four cats and two
dogs and birds, fish, turtles
plus any stray animals my wife
picks up for a couple of days
or weeks. She loves to take care
of sick animals, and the neigh
bors bring her their pets for
treatment. Once every few weeks
we have a tragedy. Some animal
has died or the cat has gotten
at a bird. Then my wife is in
hysterics and gets depressed for
days.
I like animals too, but I don't
believe in cluttering up your
whole life with them. It's got
ten so I can't find a place to sit
in the evening because the
animals take up the best chairs.
Karen F. Animals are better
friends than people. They ap
preciate you. They're grateful
for everything you do for them.
Sometimes I think my fish know
me better than my husband.
My husband is just as much of
a bug on sports as I am on
animals. I hate sports, but he'll
spend hours and hours watching
different games and matches on
TV. He goes out to watch
matchess a couple of nights a
week and is always reading
about sports.
When we were first married.
my husband used to just go out
to his sports events without even
i asking me what I was going to
do for the evening. Of course,
j I wouldn't go with him anyway.
I but it used to be lonely. Now I
wish he'd go out more and leave
me with my pets.

DECIDE NOW TO KNOW HOW
Spelling
Dr. William Kottmeyer, assist
ant school superintendent in St.
Louis, and May Lambador, a
Kansas City school teacher and
principal for 30 years. Dr. Kott
meyer said spelling actually is
easy, because English comes near
being phonetically perfect
TBat is why the new method
is based on phonetics, instead of
the old rote-memory system.
Publisher Johnson said educa
tors discovered in the 1940's that
spelling generally was taueht
less well than two senerations
earlier. An Illinois county re
cently due out records of stand
ard tests given to school children
40 and 50 years ago. Officials
found that spelling was the only
subject in which today's students
were not doing better than their
parents had done.
Johnson became aware of the
importance of spelling through
his father, Waldo, who is credit
ed with developing the work
book method of teaching. The
publisher said he had an eye
opening experience in World
War II, when he was a military
censor. "Much of the spelling
was homemade; many times so
bad I couldn't figure out what
the writer meant," said Johnson.
One word frequently wrong
was "where."
"It came out spelled w-h-a-r,
w-h-e-r,w-e-r.and even w-e-h-r-e,"
said the publisher.
Is Johnson a good speller?
"Well," he said, "I have a good
secretary."
Club Holds Party
At Grigsby Home;
Gifts Prepared
Zonta club members com
bined gift wrapping and a busi
ness meeting at their annual
Christmas party held Thursday
night at the home of Mrs. Irean
Grigsby, Jacksonville.
This -year for its Christmas
service the club will help a fam
ily of ten with gifts of clothing,
toys and food. The clothing and
toys were gift-wrapped at the
meeting. Mrs. Oletha Olson is
chairman of the service com
mittee in charge of the gift col
lection and distribution.
The members directed the
treasurer to send money at once
to the Zonta club in Vienna,
Austria to be distributed by them
for Hungarian relief. This is in
conjunction with many other
clubs in this country.
Miss Josephine Kirtley ex
plained the new changes in tha
by-laws which the club ap
proved. Dinner was served by the host
ess, assisted by Mrs. Florene
Bolton.
Council
Tht Council: These two people
have grown so far apart that
they are no longer even really
living together. They are living
with their separate interests and
barely tolerate one another's ex
istence. Karen feels she was driven to
find companionship with animals
because of her husband's over
whelming interest in sports. But
did she ever ask herself whether
she didn't drive her husband to
a greater and greater absorption
in sports by withdrawing her
own companionship from him?
Interests can draw people to
gether. They are also a means of
separation from other people.
When Karen showed disinterest
and even hostility toward her
husband's interest in sports, she
forced him to use sports as a
means of separation. The wall
between the two grew bigger and
stronger.
The situation can probably
still be saved if both Karen and
Oscar acknowledge that they
need one another. Instead of
showing anger and hostility to
ward the animals, Oscar, should
show his wife that he wants her
companionship and would be
even more grateful for it than
the dumb animals. Karen should
realize that interests must be
developed. She ought to go to
some of the sports events with
her husband. She'll find that any
person can enjoy sports if she
understands what is going on.
Oscar would enjoy explaining
things to her.
When these two are brought
closer together, Karen will have
less need of animals and Oscar
will probably like them better.
