the sons of wealthy men to be carried

the sons of rich men seldom amount to
much, and the Clays, Lincolns and Car

beginning, although high school
graduate, to turn my attention to the
correct spelling of the English Ian
guage. Of course, am not poor spell
err, but l am not good speller because
spelling was never taught me in the
public schools"
This statement is SO surprising that
it would not be deemed worthy of quo
1ation or belief, but for the fact that
the writer has personal knowledge of
its truthfulness. High school gradu-
;.tes have attempted to write short
hand and transcribe their notes on the
typewriter, and have demonstrated
their utter inability to do even that
kind of work,. because they do not know
how 10 spell.
For example, graduates of the Wash
ineton high schools acting as stenog-
raphers for years for your correspon-
dent have written out the word ''al-
right" supposing that the words "aA
right" so commonly used. constitute
but one word spelled as above. Scores
of them use the word ''anythink" for
anything. Hundreds of them say: Il
taken" or che taken" for II took" or
"he TOOK
The young men and young women
who speak and spell in that manner are
graduates of the Washington high
schools. There is not common school
in the Ohio, Mississippi or Missouri val
leys, or in the lake region, where the
first principles of practical education
are SO neglected. There is probably
not teacher on the prairies who would
not be ashamed to graduate pupils in
such ignorance of spelling and gram
mar
Elocution is something of which the
pupils in our schools know nothing.
The teachers are graduates of our high
schools. They were never taught SPELL
ing. grammar or elocution, and hence
Tiny cannot teach what they do not
know. Therefore it is that our boys
and girls do not know how to read well.
If asked to read a column or para
graph from newspaper they stammer
and stumble over it like children in the
infant classes.
Instead of teaching arithmetic as it
should be taught. the children are given
lessons which they may learn or not,
according TO their home influences.
ard when they have been graduated
they are unfit for any business requir-

do not know the multiplication tables.
and yet they have diplomas setting
forth that they have completed their
educations.

YOU have often been told OF the
w spGeusiiti educational advantages
Ii whici, are afforded TO young
men and yo;ns women in TINS natioha'
capital. but there is another story 10
lie told on that subject.
Higher education is desirable only
for those who aspire to high places IN
rub!ic affairs and in social life. Com
mon school education is desirable Tor
the masses Every child should have
common school education. and ii were
better far tina, every child should learn
TO read ans! write and cipher than that
a chosen few should have collegiate and
university advantages.
The common schools of this city are
not worthy Of the national capital, be-
cause they are not conducted on COM
mon sense principles. Consequently
the children receive educations which
are impractical, because they do not fit
the boys and girls for practical contact
with the world.
In the first place, surprising as it may
seem. grammar is not taught in our
common schools, nor in our high
schools. One of the young lady gradu-
a,es of the high school. a near relative
of the narrator, this evening said:
II am now going to college and am
studying Latin and Greek. It is abso-
lutely necessary to study grammar in
order TO learn the first principles of
those languages, and hence am study
ing grammar. I never studied gram
mar while | was in the public schools
here. nor in the high school. What
know of English grammar was learned
by absorption. by the lessons learned
at home. when my speech was correct
ed by my father and mother. So far
us the public schools are concerned, I
might have been graduated in complete
ignorance of the correct methods Of
speaking or writing my mother tongue.
Moreover" she continued, "they did
not teach spelling in tho public schools,
and very few of the high school gradu-
ates know how to spell correctly. In
Latin and Greek l find that it is abso-
lutely necessary to know how to spell
every word, in order to be able to use
