Many times within tho past dozen years the odltor ot this paper, in tho various pursuits ot his calling, has come in contact with many pupils of a number of high schools in the State. In some instances -ho has employed " ; . them, and in other instances was! The moro we look at Mexico, tho placed In touch with their worK-;sreatcr our rcsPcct for Rusala 8gy through their connection with regular ' ... ... high school papers and annuals. In; both cases he could not help but ob- serve the evidences ot glaring inofll- peclally noticeable In the pupil's lack . of applied knowledge ot words In com mon usage in pronunciation, spelling and definition. We do not believe that the pupils ot today are one whit moro backward In this regard than they were whon the editor last attended school, nearly twenty-five years ago. They are prob ably, as an average, a little better la formed. It would be a severe arraign ment of our public school system if some progress was not noticeable in this respect in a quarter of a century. As an index we give below a nura- ber of words in common usage, some," "D " of which many high school graduates. palf'ot,sm, pIaco upon h,m- ihnnrh hrt-ht onnn.h in nthor h.

It would seem to the casual obser ver who watch and inwardly fairly tin glo with pride when they do encounter efficiency in the young, that first in im portance in the school' curriculum would be. the complete mastery, of English before time was devoted to any great extent ito a smattering of Latin, French, Spanish, German, or any other fprelgn lingo.

Why this, lack of thoroughness Is permitted at this point in the pupil's career and ob- served wltli much careful forethought in' " tlio primary and' interracdlato grades is something tho-layman finds difficulty in comprehending. It Is painfully evident, that even a moderate degree of thoroughness ia some particulars is being disregarded in our public schools. i The Fourth Liberty Loan.
