most necessary branches OF learning
are made By members OF the board Of
education. Trustee Austin Sexton told
q committee OF the board that half OF
the teachers, the majority said to be
graduates OF local high schools, could
not speak or write English correctly
or spell correctly.
DIR. Il. Benjamin Andrews, superin-
tendent Of schools admitted that many
OF the teachers were deficient in the
points mentioned by Mr.. Sexton. The
fault. he said. was not so much with
the teachers as with the system in
which they were instructed ana IN
which they were instructing others.
Mr.. Sexton urged the requirement OF
one hours study OF English grammar
every day. He said:
The trouble is that the attempt is
made TO teach spelling without a spell
ing book, the English language with
out grammar, etc. We are advancing
too fast, let us stick to the grammar
and the spelling book. no matter II they
are called old fashioned. Give the pu-
