POCKETS COMING

The elusive handbag, so easily lost
and worn out, has had its day, they
say. In its stead comes the good old
fashioned pocket once more.
Women are to have coats and
dresses with pockets, lots of pockets,
big pockets. The bunched-up pan
niers and tunics give all sorts of pos
sibilities for hidden pockets.

DOWN HARD
The Election Commissioners, who
make a point of trying to serve all
the trust newspapers at one time, is
making an awful mess of trying to
play the old game of fighting the
First Ward.
A short time back they made the
claim that 5000 of the registered
voters of the First Ward were either
inmates of disorderly houses or pr1s-
oners at the Bridewell.
Today, with their tails between
their legs, they are sadly admitting
that they have only found 16O ques-
tionable votes.

USE GOOD ENGLISH
Use Good English, Even if You Are a
School Teacher.

Use Good English, Even if You Are
School Teacher.
CThis is Lesson XIX in a series of
short, simple lessons in English, by
Z. Il. Rounds, Inspector of English,
Wisconsin State Normal Schools)
SENTENCES
1t is dreadful to have to admit it,
but there is one error in English that
is made rather more often by teachers
and students in high schools, normals,
colleges, and universities, than by
other educated people, and that error
is failure to use complete sentences.
The written English put up by these
people isn't usually so bad, though it
is sometimes bad enough, whether
coming from students or teachers; but
their spoken English, though it may be
free from most of the grosser errors
OF speech that we have been consider
ing here, is very frequently lacking in
sentence structure.
1t is not hard to see the reasons for
this. In the first place, teachers and
students are both likely to be in
hurry. The class time is short, and
there is sense of pressure and haste,
that naturally results in incomplete
ness. Secondly, each knows that the
other knows something of what the
speaker is trying to say; so he is con-
stantly tempted to start sentences and
then leave them unfinished, trusting
that the other will complete the
thought. This habit of leaving state
ments unfinished is particularly ap-
parent when teachers get together to
talk over their problems. 1t is my
firm belief that if we teachers were to
talk less in a jumbled, rambling way,
and say more things carefully and full
ly to each other and to our students,
many of these problems would soon
solve themselves.
Here is fair sample of one teach
er's talk: "Well, it is hard to know
what to do when one-it certainly is
discouraging to finland English is
so important for-but what we are
going to do is more than T." And
that is not the talk of a poorly paid
teacher either. Teachers!9 We must
clean house. Let us examine our
selves. Let us not say and all, we'll all,
why ah, that is, ali. Let's just STOP,
and keep perfectly still until we have
a thought framed that is complete and
worth while. Let's know its subject
and predicate. Then let's say it and
stop until we get another one ready.
Let us remember that it isn't neces-
sary for us to talk until we have
something to say.
