LEAVITT’S THEATRE DICTIONARY AN EDUCATION IN ITSELF A dictionary is the most import­ ant single book for each pupil to own. The teacher of English should urge the pupils to use the diction­ ary constantly in their reading, so that they may acquire the habit of looking up the meaning, spelling and pronunciation of every new word. This is certainly a suggestion, that if faithfully carried out will have important results, a statement that newspaper men can verify. No press secretary would be very effic­ ient without a copy of Webster’s at his elbow. In writing correspond­ ence, not a week passes that words- do not crop up that are not in com­ mon use, and to settle the doubt as to proper spelling proper place to divide a word, when part of it has to be carried over to the next line, is also important to know. Not only students, hut generally, could well profit freer use of the remarkable how pronounce words, and we all know it is when what we later learn was an error is made in the presence of others who know better. Truly the dictionary is the best friend of all of us, the greatest educator bar none not life people by a It isdictionary. often people mis­ even simple words how embarrassing .'
