10 be Obliged to correct the pro-
nunciation of an English child is al
most unheard Of If the child should
need such correction he or she would
show as much modification as if con-
victed of poor table manners, like eat
ing with knife or something of that
sort. AS result the English are
good spoilers.
"I was quite amused one day to
overhear one of my teachers, an
English woman, not long over, say to
her class:
Ct do not wonder that you find
it such hard work to spell when you
pronounce so badly. I discover that
nearly every girl here has spelled wis
ible" with an "a" before the 3D.,
solely, I think, because she pronoun-
ces the word exactly as she does
durable. "
"In talking afterward this teacher
told me frankly that she felt herself
completely discouraged at the outlook
with her pupils where pronunciation
was concerned, and she seemed pa
thetically happy when l assured her
that 1 did not expect her to work won
ders and that few if any Americans
pronounced correctly, even not ex-
cepting American teachers.
"Not long ago a teacher, when CIV
ing dictation in the class room of a
school patronized by New York's
elite, in order possibly to assist the
spelling of the word-although this
theory seems almost ridiculous-di-
vided and pronounced with emphasis
on each syllable the word righteous
ness thus 'ri-chus-ness.' And yet that
teacher was an accomplished woman
of 40.
"Last spring the principal of one of
New York's exclusive schools for girls
found herself without an elocution
teacher. It was too late in the season
to get first class substitute, therefore
she decided for the time being to ask
one of her regular teachers to take
charge also of the elocutlon classes,
which would then be cut down to halt
time. Then she looked over the list
of her teachers, some of them grown
gray in her service, trying to make up
her mind which one to call upon.
"Finally she went to a compara-
tively inexperienced English woman
and asked her to fill the gap till the
end of thes eason. In CONSERVATION
the young English teacher listened
and then protested.
But / have never taught elocu-
ton, I never took an elocution lesson
in my life,' she said.
That doesn't make the least d1f-
ference,' replied the principal, I have
made this discovery: You know how
to pronounce the English language
properly, and you are the only teach
er in my school who does pronounce
it properly
"And, by the way, let me tell you
that I never heard yet Of an English
teacher who came to America to teach
but got a job Immediately, and kept
it, too.
"Another very obvious reason why
European schools have their attrac-
tions for Americans.is that youths un-
consciously acquire better maners in
Europe than over here In New York
the atmosphere is not conducive to
good manners.
