PLAIN WORDS
Concerning Plain Writing, From supt.
Griffith

Concerning Plain Writing, From supt
Griffith
Some so called " reformers" would
burn the spoilers, the arithmetics and
grammars. They tell US these things
should be taught incidentally. These
extreme measures have ever been
famed failures. We have been told
that there is no need of a set writing
exercise; that the children learn to
write when copying reading and spell
ing lessons; that is incidentally.
have refused several certificates
and diplomas mostly on account of poor
writing and spelling. l expect every
teacher in Kenosha county to have a
daily exercise devoted wholly to writ
ing. No other plan ever has or ever
will work successfully. We might as
we'll talk of teaching language or arith
metic incidentally" Most of the
writing thus taught looks as if it came
accidentally"
Now shall we write the vertical
hand? No; not necessarily Vertical
writing has some good points but is
something of a fad" The main
thing is legibility. Can it be easily
read? If not, then it is of no value.
You have no right to put off an illegible
letter on your friend or on the editor.
In endeavoring to read it he might lose
his religion. He does not run puzzle
department. Then again, his time is
worth something.
In writing, l think it best to allow
for pupils individuality. Let him
write either the slant or the vertical as
suits his taste. Insist upon legibility.
1t is little short of crime to make a
pupil change we'll written slant to
the vertical, or the reverse. If writing,
whether slant or vertical, be easily
read or written, what more do we want?
IF all teachers were reasonably good
penmen. copy books would be unneces-
sary. The leading teachers of pen
manship make no use of engraved
copies. Blackboard writing is incom-
parably more useful and stimulating to
the learner. 1t is much more economi-
cal. There is a charm and interest in
a lesson where the teacher writes for
the pupils and they in turn write for
him.
Any copy is properly used as follows:
Let the child open the copy book and
carefully look at the word " hand"
which we will suppose to be the copy
then close the book or cover the copy,
and write the word as he remembers it.
Remember that writing consists in re-
producing certain forms conceived by
the mind; mental images. Let him
uncover the copy and compare his work
with it. He will now observe the form
more closely.
A child cannot write sand look at a
copy at the same time. Don't you
remember that yourlast line was poorer
than the first one?
I close with two suggestions which
can always be put in practice:
l. Require of your pupils no more
writingsth than can be done we'll.
2. Always write your best and re-
quire your pupils to do the same.

Riders Kick.

The riders who rode in the big
Sterling Windsor road race have regis
tered decided kick against the time
prize being awarded to O. Jorgenson,
of Racine. Protest after protest has
been filed and it is said that the COM
mittee on prizes will make a careful
investigation before the wheel is
awarded to the Racine man. The
riders claim that he not only fouled
several of his competitors in the race,
but that he ran with several of his
friends from Racine who acted as pace
makers. This was a direct violation of
the rules laid down for the race.

IL life were one long summer day and its
journey through garden of flowers, it
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results
Unfortunately since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been a toil1ess journey through garden
of flowers Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse is multiplied
many times over because both mer and
women neglect their health Mans toll is
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of i11-health The woman is
a still greater sufferer. She suffers in ST.
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease in a Womanly way. Motherhood
becomes to her menace of death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unfai1ing remedy for wom-
en- who suffer in this way. til DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. 1t makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous, viri1e and elastic.

soothes pain and tones and builds up the
tortured nerves. It fits for wifehood and
motherhood. 1t does away with the trials

merits.

plainly one Of the motives impelling her
to acquire territory there, and the time
is not very far distant when, II SUFFICIENT
foreign talent is imported into the coun-
try to exploit its Industrial capacities,
Russia will be bidding FOR trade here in
the West.
This brings me TO consider the possibili-
ties of the Russian workingman as
skilled artisan. At present there are
great many things that he cannot do.
He Is deplorably lacking in inventiveness
and originality, a fact easily observable
when he is employed in the making or
machinery and delicate tools and instru-
ments. He is a clever imitator, however,
and foreign master mechanics assert that
he can frequently copy things that he mas
been able to take apart and caretuily
inspect. He Is far from being as yet a
dangerous rival in western markets OF
the skilled English and American work
men. but he is learning every day from
his German and English instructors ABOUT
what the western workngman can do,
and II the time ever comes when the
government is prepared to give the bene-
fit of instruction in technical schools ne
will In all probability become sum-
GENTLY expert artisan 10 satisfy the erude
demands Of the people OF the East.
The great trouble with him at present
ia that he Is so ignorant. Only half or
the men in the mill | worked in could
read even printed matter, and not over a
quarter were equal to the deciphering o.
a hand-written letter. The idea of the
