PHONOGRAPH INSTRUCTION.
.About fifty person*, including many members of the teaching profession, met" in the Board Room of the Agricnltural Hall Buildings yesterday afternoon to witness a, demonstration given by Messrs Brav Bros, of the use of the Edison phonograph, in connection with the teaching of foreicrn languages, which system is assooated with the International Correspondence Schools' method. The demonstration proved an interesting one, suad the innovation, it is said, should prove of considerable value, the enunciation of such languages as French, German, and Spanish, in which alone records and text books are at present available, being perfectly distinct and audible. The phonograph has a special attachment for repetition, which is recognised as the keynote of effective language-teaching, and it 'is claimed that rapidity of acquirement, with economy of the student's time, will suit from the use of the instrument. Thoye present yesterday expressed themselves as •well pleased with the demonstration. Some xecords were taken from those present.
