Is ENGLISH DYING?
Sensible Sugges stions. and = Story OF
Adams and Jefferson.
tChclgo Herald

ltnlcugO Iierhiu,
1t is still more surprising to find
English decaying in New England,
where, for Americans, its roots are
supposed to be deepest in a pure
soil, within whose boundaries the
first fertile American literature was
born and fiourlshed, and from whose
schools and academies have come so
many of the best spirits whose
scholarship, taste and dignity have
helped to refine and stimulate the
West. Even in the New England
schools English is dying, and to die
there means death ut the roots. The
Herald of Boston, animated by q
worthy desire to promote the cul-
tivation of our national language,
offered prizes amounting to
81 900 for the best essays showing
knowledge Of English literature and
propriety In the employment of
English. The competitions were
active. Nearly every town in the
little group of states sought to be in
cluded In 1t. The judges had an
enormous task. The papers were
numerous. New England IL rich In
high schools-preparatory institu-
tions that send youth to Harvard,
Yale, Williams, Princeton, Cornell; I;
1t boasts many famous academies,
and hundreds sought the prizes.
Commenting upon the results of
the contest and the character of the
essays the Boston Herald says: "As
II is fair to assume that those who en-
tered into the competition
were among the best equipped

three chances out Of a hundred that she

The devoted father announced that If DIR.
Sheldon could relieve the suffering in
his child and aid her in recovering be

ever paid a physician. Miss Flagler
rallied and finally was able to leave her
