BEGINNING LANeUAoe
AND LITERATURE

The three most wonderful things
in nature have always been to me,
the unfolding Of a flower. the dawn
OF new day and the way in which
child learns the use of language.
There are never two of these exact
ly alike; they are always happening
and always different.
I have watched three children
closely and their way of learning to
talk has been absolutely as individ-
ual as are the children themselves.
The eldest began at nine months to
say Mama, Dad. man. boy, dog and so
forth, and after awhile, come, go,
stay, run and all the necessary verbs,
and then the connecting words, in
such absolute agreement with the
best authorities on learning to
speak" that I began to plume my
self upon it as a personal matter II
is interesting to note that this inter
est in language, in words and their
exact meaning and accurate use, has
always been a part of this child's de-
velopment
My personal vanity as a good train
er in language received a shock when
the second baby came to the speak
ing age. Not word would she say,
"Uh-hum" doing duty for everything;
and so clever was she and well de-
veloped mentally that it was almost
uncanny to see how she, conveyed
her entire meaning and got what she
wanted without words. We tried en-
couragement, discipline, and example
(as her sister was then five) and
when we had begun to feel quite dis
concerted, she suddenly at about Is
months, burst into whole sentences
run together, such as Give it to me,
81 don't want to do it" and others of
which not one single word was clear
ly defined, but as a whole perfectly
Ineligible. AS she grew older she
showed the same impatience of Ian
guage as a means of communication,
making a language Of her own to
which she clung until she was six,
which was ineligible only to her
family and playmates, as strangers
could make nothing of it, fact
which rather pleased her than other
wise-"Me don't min if dey tant un-
derstan' wat me say; me likes to talk
ike dis" was a frequent remark
while we were trying to train her out
of it. We had at six to have recourse
to expert help in proper articulation.
There was no physical defect, and
now her enunciation is unusually
clear and she reads better than any

IMPROVEMENT OF NEGRO FARM
AND HOME LIFE IS DISCUSSED

The annual conference of Virginia
negro farmers was held at Hampton
Institute, Va, recently for the pur-
pose of giving farmers, extension
agents and others interested in rural
welfare an opportunity to discuss
means of improving farm and home
conditions among the negroes of the
state.
Assistant Secretary Pugsley. of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, in addressing the con-
ference, spoke of the need of recog-
nizing agriculture as the industry by
which the larger proportion of me-
groes earn their living. He also call
ed attention to the need for the
right outlook with reference to this
industry and the Importance of prop
er preparation of negroes for farm
life. The place of negro school and
teachers in bringing about farm eff
cheney and contentment was empha-
sized. The value of boys and girls
club work in the promotion of agri-
culture and home economies was
brought out.
C. B. Smith, chief, office of exten-
sion work, states relations service,
stressed the value of agricultural ed
ucation in improving farm and farm
home practices of negroes and the
need of cooperative effort, since the
average Individual makes progress
about in proportion as the entire
community makes progress. Other
speakers, including members of the
extension staff of the department,
the director and assistant director of

the principal and assistant principal
of the Tuskegee. discussed the i'm.
portance of an education in agricul.
ture, the need for community better
ment, recent development in coop
erative marketing and its bearing on
farming activities, and development
of extension work, and the place of
Virginia in the expansion of exten
sion work aomng negroes.
