gwen. The best is by Luther, the
greatest language genius Of modern
times, whose demand is heard in the
WRITINGS Of the very latest education
al reformers,: "Not too much drill on
rules ompel the children to speak"
II Luther We're in America to-day he
would say, compel the parents to
speak" The question is not how to
get the children to speak, but how to
get the parents to do what they blame
their chldnen for NOT doing. Par
ents, upon reflection, will find they
are more guilty than the children:
The reason SO many children are
weak In language is because the par
ents try to impress their personality
upon their children in weak, broken
English, instead Of in the strong
mother or family tongue. In
the latter case the children would
learn their first Language correctly.
High and grade schools may teach,
and books be written about, the
mother tongue, but unless the moth
ers themselves speak it, the whole
educational career of the child will
suffer. The "Kvindeforenimgen" and
Sunday school, therefore, of every
church should take to heart Luther's
words ON this much-agitated and very
Important question. Luther gave
school teachers Of his day these d.
rectons to force open the mouths of
their children, a piece Of advice that
pres'ent-day teachers greatly need.
In other words we must forever aban-
dom the mistake of teaching living
languages as dead ones, by the LATIN
grammar method. The quicker teach
ers acquaiht themselves with and
adopt the direct, phonetic method
founded by Victor, of Marburg Uni
uensity, Germany, the better. 1t has
revolutionized modern Language
teaching I'M Europe and is being rap
idly introduced into America. One
reason the teaching of German has
made such strides in recent years is
because the teachers of German now
follow Vietor's method. 1t will take
time for the Scandinavian to become
Zanzibar ahsd efficient In the use of
the method, but it is worth the effort.
luther and Froebel, the reformation
and the kindergarten, prepared the
way for Victor, and the solution of
the babel problem seems to be near at
hand. One is never too young to be-
gh ito learn a second Language, but
soon becomes too. old Hence VIC, re-

paign, believes that the former President
will have a majority OF about 300 votes
while Capt Harry S. New, national COM

quarters, is confident of similar lead.
Returns from a number Of counties
show that most of the Taft delegates
have been selected in the cities and towns
and that Roosevelts best support has
been given in the country districts. While
the figures show this to be true counties
in some instances, have chosen entire
delegations that favor one or the other
candidate.
