Returning To The Three Rs"

With Chicago public schools returning to the three
Rs there arises hope that the sound fundamentals of
education may again be given performance in the
schools of the country, rather than the fs II
that in many places, not particularly IN FL Paso, the
childs time is taken up with many things and his at
tention scattered many nonessentias that ne
fails to grasp the fundamentals of education.
Thus it is that high schools and colleges hold many
young people who cannot be depended upon to spell
words of usage accurately; who have only the
hazest ideas of punctuation who cannot figure interests
and discounts the capitals of the principal
lions of the world deliver short, impromptu,
convincing argument in proper English.
One wonders what the young people their teachers
have been doing during II years of schooling. It is
plain that in many schools there has been too much
dversification and little thorough accomplishments
the acquisition of smatterng Of many subjects and
sound knowledge of any Thus it is that many
parents of today, perhaps 20 years removed from their
schQolbooks nevertheless SPELL read write and compute
figures better than their and daughters At
partial reversion to the sound principles of mental
training in day of many educational fancies is en-
cOuragng.
