A Solumn Warning


The terrible coal mine disaster at
Hastings, near Trinidad, this week,
where 120 miners were entombed
and died by a gas explosion, should
be q solumn warning to all-the
miners here employed.
1t is not known whether the en-
plosion was through the carelessness
of some one employed in the lnine,
or the act of ferdish spy who was
an enemy to the country. The
horrible deed brought death to the
miners and sorrow all their families
and friends.
1t behooves us all to be the more
alert now, TO see that no calamity of
this nature comes again to this
camp, either through enemies, who
may come here as spies, or some
thoughtless act of miner employed.

TEACHING ENGLISH.

Two wears ago committee of educators was
set to work to consider changes advisable in
teaching English in the schools of the country;
it was to report to the federal bureau of edu-
cation and it has. The report has far wider
significance thar that of technical import, for
it marks a new era in educational practice, il
its findings are made use Of The committee
makes the basis Of it's recommendations the
axiom that English should be taught that
pupils may use it to the best advantage what
ever they may do when they leave school for a
life work. English teaching has been largely
futile of results because the real motive has
been lacking. Years ago the universities dis
covered that secondary school pupils had little
knowledge Of books and reading; that they
were unable to express themselves clearly in
speech or writing. Harvard took the initiative
in setting a course of reading as obligatory to
entrance; other universities followed and Eng
lish teaching became a reading exercise on a
prescribed basis, accompanied by written tests
designed to find out whether the pupil had
comprehension of what he had read.
This secondary practice gradually worked
down into the elementary grades. There was
the benefit of something definite to be done
which supplanted chaotic conditions.
But seemingly it did not enter the mind Of
the pedagogues that in giving pupils ability to
use English understandings they would put
into their possession one of the most useful
tools in the world. By means of language sym
bols we think as we'll as express what we think
Teaching Of English is comprehensive of the
whole scheme of encouraging growth Of think
ing power and Of clear expression. Here is
what all pupils need and when they get it the
reading they do will count for something def
mite and become an influence in their lives and
work. The committee advises such a teaching
of English from the earliest grades as shall
make pupils able to use our language to get and
express thought clearly; it demands the di-
vorce of such teaching from routine reading
and set methods of writing in which the pupils
