DIR. MAXWELL'S ADDRESS
HE GIVES HIS VIEWS ON TEACHING ENG
LIsH IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

THE BEST SAFEGUARD AGAINST MISTAKES y
THE GOOD SENSE OF THE TEACHER AND
ABUNDANCE OF ALL KINDS OF
READING MATTER
The speaker at the regular weekly nesting OF
the Public Education Association. held yesterday
afternoon at No. 500 Fifth-ave.. was DR.. william
H. Maxwell. Superintendent Of the Public Schools
Of Brooklyn. the subject was. English In the
Elementary Schools"
Dr. Maxwell began with reading and said that
he saw no reason why teachers OF the subject
should be divided into two hostile camps II you
lay too much stress on the mechanical part OF
reading" he said. children will not get at the
thought; but. on the other hand. II you pay no
attention to anything but the meaning they Will
fail TO master the mechanical part. Somehow or
other children must learn that certain letters STAND
for certain sounds and the they get through
this the better. have found the phon.c method
wonderfully effective. but Il certainly has dam
serous side; for the children take such pleasure In
IT, and the teacher herself gets so carried away
with II. that they neglect the meaning Of what
they reading The only safeguard against this
Is the good sense OF the teacher and abundance Of
reading o. other kinds"
As the result OF using the phonc method In the
Brooklyn schools. DR.. Maxwell said. the children
can now read three thousand words al the end OF
the first year In school. and have vocabulary
OF the same extent.
In the teaching OF literature and language DR..
Maxwell thinks that the principles should
hold good as in reading. The mechanical drill
should have good share OF attention. but should
not absorb IL all lie Is unable 10 understand tho
aversion felt by some advanced educators TO the
study Of grammar
There IL no subject in the curriculum" he said,
from which better mental training is derived than
from this much abused one Of grammar. Its appii-
cation 10 literature forces a child TO think out the
meaning OF the sentences he reads. and IL also
furnishes him with the means OF criticsing his own
productions
In the Brooklyn schools the children their
own compositions and DR.. Maxwell considers that
for the teacher TO do so is the worst waste OF
time and energy that he has ever seen. Under
this system tho composition hour has ceased -
be burden either TO teacher pupil, and the
latter Is lea rning 10 write.
When DR.. Maxwell had concluded his address,
Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, the president OF
the association said that she wished 10 express her
entire agreement with him. She thinks that writ
ing correct English is harder than looking for gold
In the klondike. and she regrets every day OF her
her life that no one ever taught her grammar.
II children could only learn to write good English,
she is sure that IL would save only them but
the public much pain.
