A sPARCITY OF WORDS.
Limited Vocabulary of the Young
PcOpIc Around Is.

From the New York Timc-)
Some college professors have suddenly
discovered that many. if, indeed not most
OF the young men who 20 up for examina-
tions cannot write down the answers to
the questions in simple English. These
young men. say the professors. appear to
be unacGuainted with sufficient number
what they desire TO say. These professors
are inclined TO lay the blame on the pri-
mary schools and to accuse them Of neg
lecting TO teach English as ii ought to be
taught. The blame should be laid pri-
plarily on the colleges themselves. That
young people as a rule have no vocabulary
and no knowledge OF the proper methods
Of forming sentences is something which
cannot escape the general observer and
the inference that they are not properly
taught at school Is natural and not erro-
neous.
But the requirements for admission to
all the colleges are such that instead OF
deyOting time to the study OF diction and
prose composition, the schools are com
PEELED TO put their pupils through ele-
mentary courses in English literature.
There Is altogether too much reading of
Dryden's "Pslamon and Arctic Millions
'L'Allegro,' and Burke on "COncilia-
tion," and not half enough instruction in
the use and abuse OF words In earlier
days pupils had purity, propriety. and
precision hammered into them till they
were forced tc choose their words when
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-12-16

they wrote, and formed a habit of doing
so when they talked.
In those same days there was a custom
of making pupils study spelling and def
| nitiOns. The knowledge OF words thus
gained cannot be replaced. And the ex-
ercisc OF writing compositions, followed
by careful criticism of each pupils work,
is of inestiIaable value. There are schools
ranking in the FIRST class which have en-
tirely dropped this part CT the training
OF pupils. If the colleges would lay more
stress in their requirements for entrance
examinations in English on knowledge of
the language and the use of ii than on ac-
quaintance with its literature, there would
be less complaint about the inability Of
candidates for matriculation to write the
answers TO the questions.
And parents can do something. They
can forbid peremptorily the employment
of slang in the house. Compel the chill
dren to talk decent English at home, and
they will widen their Vocabulary ut a
rapid rate. Allow them to fall into the
slovenly and debased habits of speech new
regarded AS smart In society and they
will not be able to express themselves al
any time in clean. pure English. And
the chances are too, that they will have
nothing TO express, for loose thought is .
boon companion of loose speech.
