SPEECH TRAINING.

One branch of education long neglected at last is
receiving the attention 1T deserves This is the mat
ter or speech training which is being taken up by
after another of the public schools until the
wave seems likely to sweep the entire country.
The aim OF speech training is to give every child
command Of correctly chosen. correctly enunciated
English. II has with the elimination of slang,
>the use OF pure and correct English and the habit
OF giving every word its terminating letter
It's object is only 10 train the children whose
careless speech is merely matter Of habit or ig
but also those pathetic little figures whose
aueer articulation is due some malformaton OF
the vocal organs to deafness The latter talk

special teachers TO train them and whenever possi-
bic are rescued from the ignominious and painful
utterance which heretofore has made them the in
nocent object o derision by their mates.
The great trouble in this corrective speech train
ing the schools the lack OF cooperation the
home It is little difficult for any teacher however
sknfuI to offset in hours the other working
hours spent away from, her influence and likely
enough directly under influence OF the contrary
sort
But the movement is well under way. and it
should receive enthusiastic support from the public
everywhere And. since the elders cannot become
enthusiastic the subject OF speech training for
their children without taking a little thought TO
their own language and enunciation, more good
should follow than perhaps dreamed of when

THE CHURCH BUILDING FUND.

A method of financing the building OF
churches where funds insufficient and congre-
cations small or poor. is being watched with
siderable interest Under this plan the members Of
the congregation desiring new place of worship
turned their Liberty bonds the church build
ing committee. and received in exchange church
bonds OF a slightly higher rate of interest.
So far is known, congregation in Poush-
keepsie. y. " was the first one to try this plan
There difficulty II interesting the members.
and in incredibly short time bonds enough had
been turned in to enable the committee TO get "a
bank and begin building operations.
Few people question the value of the church to
the community the value Of the minister of God
as a member of society. yet the business affairs of
most churches and the payment of the minister's
salary are VIGOROUSLY conducted in sipshod
manner.
Plain business methods which put the affairs or
the church upon a solid basis cannot be TOO highly
commended The plan given here should appeal to
The average congregation as vastly better than the
agony Of pleading for subscriptions the straw
berry festivals the bazars and other devices
usually resorted TO. which represent "a maximum
output of effort with "a minimum result in cash for
