THE SPEECH OF CHILDREN.

CFrom the Washington starr
The question sometimes presents itself whether
sufficient attention is being paid in the public schools
to the training of the speech OF the children. They
taught grammatical construction and spelling,
syntax and a bit OF rhetoric and something of COM
position Occasionally they taught to read aloud,
But little is done for their enuncaton and little at
tentlon is paid to the purity OF their vocabulary.
While slang is not encouraged-is not even tolerated
in the average cassroom-many children acquire It
on the play ground and in the streets and become
virtually bi-lingual, with style of speech for
for ordinary usage,
II might be suggested that better general results
In child culture would il some Of the more abb
struse subjects curtaed to make time for reg!
ular speech culture. Certainly hour week could
be spared in every school for the drll of the chill
dren In better pronunciation and better selection Of
lords,
or course there will always be slang, Language
grows from slang But there is a slang that can be
absorbed into the common speech without hurting or
degrading H. and a slang that should never be toll
Grated the argot Of the curb II is this slang
that the children should not acquire. But a child
picks up slang readily 1t does dirt, and 1t takes
hard work on the part of parents and teachers to es
tabllsh standard Of speech that will enable child
20 resist the temptation to soil its vocabulary with
this SOFT Of language
After all what is chiefly needed Is the cultivation
Of good taste The teachers do that II they have
time, which means that they will take time or are
given time from some less important and profitable
line OF instruction.
