Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have been much interested in perusal
of the communications of Pater Familias,
Old Fogy, ct al, with relation to the meth
cd of instruction adopted in our public
schools. and would like to present for con-
sideration theory which l believe has not
been advanced far.
1 am a lawyer in fair practice, and one
of the greatest drawbacks to the proper
and full presentation of my cases has been
that my clients do not give me full in
formation as to the details Of their cases.
l obliged in every instance to subject
clients to long and thorough examina-
ton to get full information of all circum-
stances relating to case. and even then,
often fail to get desired Information, not
because my clients want to hold anything
back, but because they have full informa-
ton and talk TO me as though l We're pos
sessed of like information
For instance, stranger asks ME to di-
rect him to q certain lawyers Office and
1 answer in good faith, intending &c give
exact information, "a few doors west of
Masonic Temple. Such answer given to
and explicit. but a stranger does not know
where Masonic Temple Is, and therefore nv
answer leaves hir completely in the dark.
just 50 Ii Is, In my estimation, with in
structioEs given verbally by teachers in
public schools. They are familiar with Ger
tain subjects, and when asked by their
pupils concerning such subjects they give
answers which would be sufficiently full
and explicit to another teacher, or TO al
most any intelligent adult but which to
child imparts little or no informa ton.
l have arrived at this conclusion from
experience with my own youngster, who is
under charge Of an apparently thorough
teacher The youngster few evenings
Slice worried herself into a crying fit over
some problems, and when asked the cause
she explained that she had to prove long
division by multiplication. This is a very
simple matter to adults, and was SO to
FER when explained 1t to her. but it oc-
night work from a child the teacher should
have explained the work SO fully and spe-
officially that the home work should have
resulted only in work, and not worry.
