We sympathize with the "heavy edi-

Johnnie Hutchins came up day or

We are glad to learn that the attend
ancc at Mary Sharp College is unusual
ly large this session. A visitor to the

How to Write for the Papers.

The Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should be brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place,
newspaper space is valuable. The mo-
dern newspaper is never troubled with
the old-time complaint of needing
"something to fill up" The editors
scalpel is constantly reeking from the
slaughter of live news matter and inter-
esting miscellany. Short communion
tons are much more likely to find read
ers than long ones are, and unless they
are to be read it is much better not to
publish them. More contributions can
be represented where the articles are
short than when they are long, and one
man has as strong q claim upon the COL
umns as another, provided he furnishes
as interesting matter. A short article is
usually more pithy and pointed than q
long one. A subject should have many
ramificatons to demand more than half
column in q newspaper, while all that
can be saved even from that limit up to
q certain point is apt to be an improve.

Learning to Speak q Language.

Those who would learn foreign Ian
guage should associate with those who
speak it. The reasonableness of this
suggestion lies in the fact that it bids the
learner follow the method of nature,
which trains the ear to understand be-
fore it educates the tongue to speak a
language.
Hammerton, the artist and essayist,
tells how he once received excellent ad-
vice as to learning French from Mohl,
the distinguished Orientalist. Calling
at Mohl's rooms, the artist carried on
the conversation in English, as he spoke
French imperfectly. The Orientalist,
being master of French, as he was Of
| several European languages, asked his
guest if he was making progress in
French.
Receiving IN evasive answer, he asked
Hammerton if he understood thoroughly
French conversations when he overheard
them.
eyes, every word, replied the artist.
Every well, answered Mohl, "then
rely upon it you will soon speak fluently
yourself. For, when the car misses
nothing, the tongue is sure to fol-
low, but it always lags little behind.
For the present, you should listen atten-
! lively"
When the ear can only catch about
one word in three of conversation in a
foreign language, the tongue will not
speak correctly more than word in five
But it soon speaks fuently md correctly
after the ear has learned to understand
every word spoken by natives.
