city 10 do all in their power to improve
the oral English Of the pupils. 1t is
declared that the use by high school
popils Of "t'row" for throw, "toin" for
turn, foil" for girl, "erster" for oyster,
'lawr" for law, "thoyd" for third, and
other similar expressions no longer
will be tolerated. IT, as seems TO be
implied, it prevails at the present
time, the fact would seem to indicate
not only lack OF diligence on the part
of the teachers OF the grade schools as
we'll as the high schools, but also
slovenly pronunciation on the part Of
some Of the teachers themselves.
Bright pupils usually initiate the pro.
nunciation Of their teachers. Mil
waukeeans arc aware from observa-
ton of this tendency. Children be-
longing to homes where a foreign Ian
guage was habitually employed have
grown up with good idiomatic Eng
lish because they initiated the speech
of their teachers in the public schools.
