ENcAMPMENT IN 1896.

THEY ARE ARTFuL DoDGkfss!

Did the New York Republican
convention declare for the mains
tenance' or for the "enforcenssntsa
of the excise law? That is Ilrthe
burning question. There is, lasIl,ariSS
dullard can see, a vast difference.
Maintaining a law is simply keeping
1t among the statutes. The excise
law of that state was maintained"
from the date of it's enactment. But
1T was never enforced. That is to
say, not as a law bearing equally
on all, but only as a club to beat
some saloonkeeper into submission
to the pantatas. Roosevelt came and
enforced it. There is the difference.
A shoe that pincheS does not hurt
the foot as long as it lies in the
closet. 1t is only when worn that it
hurts. Just so with laws. Roosevelt
put the law on and made the saloon
keepers wear it. Hence the uproar.
Hence the desire of Platt to dodge
the question.
Warner Miller, sentimentalist in
politics and thrifty in business. offered
and the convention adopted a reso-
luton reported by the press asso-
citation to call for the ''maintenance'
OF the law. Mr.. Miller may be
vague in his ideas of the, nice dis
tlnctions words carry. He may have
meant enforcement of the Roosevelt
kind. We do not think he meant
enforcement of the Tammany kind.
Anyway, others saw the difference.
They saw that a declaration for
maintenance was a farce. So the
statement was sent out with the
insignia of authority that the reso-
luton as adopted called for the ZEN
forcement" of the law. This would
satisfy the good people, but it would
offend the other kind. So the state
ment is denied and the assertion re-
peated that the declaration was onlv
for the maintenance" ofsthe law.
This seems to be accurate. The
World has procured from the secre-.
tary of the convention and prints q
facsimile of Miller's resolution. It
says maintenance" Thus Platt
plays his game. He could not muz-

ENGLISH IN THE SCHOOLS.

The examination papers made for
entry into Harvard college some
time ago showed such a gen.
eral ignorance of our Ian
guage, such inaccuracy in it's use,
bordering on the grotesque, as to
invite from the committee a severe
criticism of the schools that had
prepared" the students for college.
Three years ago they called atten-
ton to it, but little Improvement
appears to have been made, judging
from the extracts they submit in
their latest report. What follows? A
waste of revenue to the college in
imparting instruction in words of
which the student has no compre-
henSion. To the students a loss of
something they should gain. To the
parents a waste of the money spent
in educating" their children. For
the want of a knowledge of words
cuts both ways. 1t prevents the
scholar from expressing thought
and also from receiving it. Words
strike on his ear, but find no an
swer in the brain. The effect is
something as if a teacher were
to give instruction in for
eign and unknown tongue. The fault
is not alone in the schools. 1t is
much in the homes. Parents them
selves are too careless in the use of
words; the fault, largely, of faculty
training. Slovenly, stumbling hab-
it's Of expression are permitted in
the children. But the main fault is
in the schools, ,and the effect Of prop
er teaching there would soon be re-
fected in the homes. -.
In this report of the committees
one finds the foundation of the gen-
eral fact that college graduates are
so deficient in capacity to expresst
themselves in good English. 1t was
this that set Horace Greeley so fixed,
ly against admitting college menado
the staff of his paper, a prejudice
probably aggravated by the bump;
tiousness of the young man fresh
from his graduating exercises. Bit
while the colleges are in fault for
not taking some steps to correct or
prevent the evil, the fault lies be-
hind them and in common and pre-
paratory schools. Training in Ian
guage cannot begin too early. Froff
earliest childhood first aim of edu4,
cation should be the acquisition of
words and facility of expressing
thought in good English, with ac-
curacy and even nicely in the Sc
lection of words. Expression is
not wholly an requirement, of
course. To some speech is always
difficult, no matter what the train
ing. But these are few. To the rest
drill, exercise, study, bring improve
ment; to the most of them excellence.
Fortunately for the youth of our
city, the value of expression is un-
derstood by those directing the
schools. Attention to language at
tends every study in every grade.
If there is remissness, 1t is the fault
of individual teachers, their inabil-
ity or disinclination to follow direc-
