Mr. Stetson again addressed the associa~ tion On the stages in the grcwth of achild. He discussed only one part of this sutject, viz., the accumulation of knowledge. He showed by a profusion of examples that achild ebould be taught to und-r- stand what be reads. A pupil should be taught to read as well in the first reader as he ever will read.
