Miss DomimCk's paper show edber thorough knowledge of the subject Sie brought out in a very instructive manner the two principal alma of reading, first, that the child Taagf be able to gain thought, second, to be able to impart this knowledge to others. This subject was treated in a way that was very instructive to all. Hiss Dominick made some very good and suggestive remarks in referenoe to the teaoberB of poetry.
