Sinner eon-In- nicated a paper on the subject of rapid reading. They showed that the dif- ferent letters of the alphabet are not all mrehended with the name quick- ness. For Instance. the time taken to recognize an E is nearly one-third longer than. that taken to recognize a '1'. They connider that the alphabet is badly designed from a physiological point of riew. it should be composed of very simply designed letters as 1‘ or L. Ranidity at reading would thus be increased and "brain tax“ would be notably diminished. it. would also be better to have the letters printal in white on a black ground than the sys- tem which obtains at present. The time taken to recognize a letter print- ed in black on a white ground wanl nenrly ten times longer than white on a black ground. Worn-n Herder-er logic- Sentence.
