IETTER-wBITING.-An exercise which
might advantageously be introduced into
our schools is writing. Aside from
the instruction in compos ition, which is
thus impaired, it accustoms students to
express themselves naturally in CORES
pondence. 1t may sound incredible, but
it is true, that mnny grown up people,
and teachers at that, do not know how to
write the simplest business or friendly let,
ter. They cannot place the address and
date in its proper place. and they do not
know how to say what they want to.
They can talk mteligIbly, bat when it
comes to writing, their sense seems to
desert them. The reason of tn is is, tha.
they have never had practice enough un-
