Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol -^^ (meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: 1 2 3 L'exemplaire film6 fut reproduit grAce d la g6n6rosit6 de: Harold Campbell Vaughan Memorial Library Acadia University Les images suivantes ont 6t6 reproduites avec le plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition et de la nettetd de Texemplaire film6, et en conformity avec les cor Jitions du contrat de filmage.

All the letters represent %i^res excepting a, e, i, o, u, Wj A, i^nd y. The TOippls ^nd y never stand for i^gnres. The letters that have similar sounds represent the same figure.

Changing wbrds into figures w« call translation. After the Alphalbet is tMroughly committed to memory the next tiling to be learned is Articulation. To articulate a word we pronounce ^ery consonant in, ,the ^ord, with the vowel e after it.
