FOUR SPELLING RULES.

The article focuses on the study on the use and worth of spelling rules, conducted by Ina Craig Sartorius as part of her investigation of generalization in spelling. Sartorius picked from twenty spelling textbooks all the rules contained therein, and selected twenty-seven rules which were found in five or more of the spellers for examination. She found that among the twenty-seven statements of spelling rules were several that either supplemented or overlapped other rules.
