Teacher. Well, what do you say?

The letters change places and form the word SALUTE.

Teacher. Very good. Retire to your places.

The letters step back in line of the alphabet.

Teacher. We all know the alphabet is made up of two families. The name of one family is Vowel, and the name of the other is Consonant. The vowels will please step forward.

Fig. 589.

The letters A E I O U advance to the front.

Teacher. There are two step-sisters which we sometimes call Vowels. Where are they?

The letters W and Y join the others.
