['HE FAILURE TO TEACH ENGLISH. -Graduates of our high schools how a woeful lack of knowledge )f the common branches, particu-s rrly orthography, English gram niar and composition. Not one in wenty can write a fair business 1and: and, wors than all 'ise, the 'reat mljori ty areutterly untrained 11 careful and methodical habits 4-f vork. Tho facts aro recognized by l1 business men who havo under aken to employ high school boys, )r girls, in any clerical work. Census Siperintendont Morriam aid of the candidates w%'ho took the ompetitive exainations for cen ms positions: "They aro lacking n ordinary English grammar and namposition. ' They can't spoll 1nd they can't do ordinary arith Imetic. Fity p'r ceont.. fail, and Hwy fail hecauso they cani't divide 100,000 by 4,028, that is they can't grt the correct result. It's simply marvel ous the lack of e(Iducation in t1ese ru1dimen i*tary braniches. There's something radically wrong with our system of, ducation. Our public schools teach bo1any, physi ulogy, pyschol ogy, Sewing, molding nd a number of other things, but tliey don't. appear to teach ordi nary simple arithmetic and spolling." S-veral causes undoubtedly con Iriblit to wveakon tle elenentry in straction iml our -schools. New and attractivo ethods, dosigned to make easy the road of learning, h ave takein tho plice of old 6 te thorouginess. Again, many thmgs are now taught which could ho bet ter dispensed with t0han the essen tials of an English oducation. The common branchem are "fin ished" too soon. English grammar and aithLmetic req1uire, for their sub slatia1l comple)Itiiin, a degree of maturity of mind much greater i hnn thaut b.ehaging to t ho average eighth grado~ pujui1. Finally, to the tendecily to make tho hiigh school simpl~ly at school to prepare b)oys and girls for. col loge, is large ly due the prattical failmo of high school (P'achinig. It would b)e of ,great advantage to the real ofliciency of our schools to extend the teaching (of all the common brnches th rough the first year of the high school ; and Eng lish grammar andl arithmetic in some form th roughout~ the course.

DAn EDIro: I saw in your issue of Oct. 4th, whore all books now in use in the pub1ic schools will b0 unlawfil after the 15th of Nov. 1901, except a few. Now, Mr. Editor, I wallt to know if all -thoso books usli(I Jast yeai are to bo entirely -'. harred from the schools. Last year and this year children pur. chased books, which were expon sive, and studied thom for only ax short poried, having to stop school in order to help till the soil and make bread for the homo. Now have those pupilti-that is a large number of them-finished-nay, even gono one-third of the way in thoso books. What are thoso who are unable to buy the new bootsr prescribed by the board to do? Thfey have the books. used last un& this year, all over the State. Tbey have not been far enough in thiose books to even master the first 27 pages of each book; they woro' sick soie days, working others, and the school session being very shert, had not much time to devoto lo thoir books. Now those books 10-e to ho laid asido, iot to he uset again; they canl not even exchango theni for the ones "prescrif)Od by the board, theroby having so many. hooks to lay around the houso cova ered with dust-useless, and ther4's. 110 possiblo Imeans to turn thie n, into capital. I am not talking to hoar mysolf. talk; hut I know from experiunce. I hid ch aige of a sinall school this last sossion, and when I took.c-,arge. of that school, children b-rought overy kind of text book.posible, by every author imaginablo. 1 was told that I had to get books for my pupils then proecribod by the board.
