To do this, or sup ply the jar for our vocabulary, it would be a good i(lea to put on a Better Speech Campaign. Let this last one week, having lectures and talks on Better Speech, and too, every one that is caught using incorrect Eng lish S110U( be tagge(-wNitil a green tag-showing that his speech is still green11 and llees to be cultivated( anl ripeied. Every wide-awake an(d up-to -dlate school sloull (10 all il1 their power to aid in tlie use of Better Speech and they should give at least one week to sup plying the deadly poisol-fig uratively speaking--to kill suchll expressions as "ainl't," "I seen," "le dol't" an(] countless others. The students shouild be impressed with, the import anlce of using good English. One would never think of a college student being slovenly in his ph11(wel. Wake up! Mind your speech!
