RUDIMENTs OF EDUCATION
The Absence of Correct Speaking and
Writing Among School Children.

To the Edlter OF The 1f'bune'
Sir: The deductions Of President PFlche''
of the Carnegie Foundation ss cited IN your
issue of this morning on present educs-
tional conditions In this country are un-
dauhtedly correct. Men and women OF en-
serving characters who mingle win h''
CLASSES Of the community cannot fail to note
the deficiencies of our modern eduea'ienal
system.
In the uomsdic life which 7 have led for
tho last twelve wears in the United states
| 7 have had many opportunities for study
ing the effects Of what are known az up
TO- date" ideas IN regard 10 the instruction
Of Young people Not only have ] talked
with hundreds Of children Of both sexes
and all classes Of society. but have been
in correspondence with them, and It mas
been with the greatest chsgrin that have
observed their painful lack Of rudimentsrN
and Fundamental knowledge. For pubuc
school student. whether in primary or hish-
er grades, TO be able 10 compose SEN
tence even approaching correctness Is an
almost unknown thing. Both IN speaking
and In writing the modern boys and girls
who arc being educated in our public
schools display an ignorance that IS as
shocking as il is surprising
Conversation with the young folks IN pre-
psratory and high schools reveals the fact
that they are dabbling in score of "isms'
aud "olo9ies." while their knowledge Of the
basic necesssries Of practical education
is simply nil. Through a course of several
years OF schooling the modern children are
not able to concentrate their minds on the
learning of one single thing we'll. They are
not taught to use their brains in logically
evolving a single deduction. What they
learn, they learn with their outward senses
only. reason has no part in the matter.
In all my years of wandering | have
hardly encountered y single hoy or girl
graduate of a public school whom ] would
venture 10 recommend as capable OF illling
the most modest position where simple
but exact knowledge Of the rudments Of
education was required.
SuperticialitY rules in education. as It
does In most other matters in the United
states in these days; suffering is the tonic

To the Editor cf The Tribune.
Sir: In recent lettcr regarding the in
creasinc ~ the endowment fund Of the
Tuskegee Normal aud Industrial institute
President william Howard Taft said:
II feel that tho results accomplished by

the negro moro useful. but IN the interest
Of the whole country, Justify an appeal TO
the public that shall increase the endow-
meut 10 a figure where the principal Book

money to meet the current expenses of the

make personal contribution toward the
endowment fund.
/ The trustees OF the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial institute are making an earnest
effort 10 Increase the endowment fund by
not less than 81 o1o.cGb. Of which they hope
to raise $4,000 within the next twelve
months
The work al TuskeGee Is no longer an

friendly relations between the black people
and the white people of the South. Tusks-
zen methods arc being widely copied and
followed throughout tho Southern States
and in many portions Of Africa and in for
eign mission fields. The successful and use
ful lives being lived by the a.5os graduates
and former students who have been sent
out hy the Tuskeges Institute, and who
are mainly In the Southern States. are its
