their grade.
Between the reviews, or once in two
weeks, a part Of each Friday afternoon
shall be devoted to the reading of original
composition and defamation. For the
sake of variety the school may be made up
of two divisions, one division reading COM
positions and the other giving defamation.
very serious and general defect has
been noticed in the enunciation of the pu-
pills in our schools. Teachers have it in
their power to correct in large measure this
defective habit of speech. AS a corrective
teachers will be required to give a short
daily drill in the alphabet, working for a
well modulated voice and a clean cut enun-
citation of the vowels and consonants. A
little close observation on the part of the
teacher will soon discover the correct
placing of the elements. The speech of ru-
rul communities is in marked contrast to
that which is obtained in educated circles
in cities and villages and you have it in
your power to save much of the humilia-
ton that will come TO our pupils who may
be obliged to seek a livelihood in other To-
calities. j. j. GooDACRE,
