Reading in the Public schools.

The California Association of Elocutionists
held regular monthly meeting at Shiels'
building yesterday afternoon.
The chief event of the session was the pro-
duction of paper by Miss Emily Curtis. The
paper was entitled Reading in the Public
Schools" The intelligent and instructive
style in which Miss Curtis handled the sub

Smell Poulson, Louise Humphrey Smith and
Professor Ross spoke on the topic OF the ses-

present that radical change should be made
in the existing method of teaching the art of
reading in the common schools.
