SLOVENLY SPEECH AMONG HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS

At pageant held in Indianapolis recent.
ly, business and professional men of the
city came in contact with some two hun
dred High School students with an op-
portunity to closely observe their progress
and accomplishments in school work
They found that for the most part the
lads were bright and self-reliant, but it
was clear that they were woefully lacking
in respect for the ordinary rules Of Eng
lish grammar. They were slovenly in
their speech.
Such expressions as, IT seen," 81
done" "them things" were common.
Women associated with the high school
girls found similar condition prevailing.
An editorial in the Indianapolis News
referring to the incident says:
"Tenses were disastrously mixed, pre-
positions abused, and plural and singular
confused. Their pioneer forefathers of
100 years ago, who came into schoolless
wilderness, could have scarcely spoken in
their ignorance with less regard for the
common, simple rules of grammar than
these young men who had enjoyed from
eight to eleven years of instruction under
the most approved modern methods.
What this signifies it is for the educa-
tors to say. The men who observed the
widespread addiction to incorrect speak
ing-and they were many-remarked it,
commented upon it, and wondered where
the root Of the trouble was to be found
Some place, surely, in the school training
of these young persons something is wrong.
1t ought to be set right. A young man or
young woman may stand as an A-plus
student, but habitual misuse of the Eng
lish language will be, in the sight of most
men and women in the business and pro-
fessional world, sign of ignorance"
