The method pursued in the teach ing of English Co the foreign born at Putnam Evening School. now in sess- ion at Putnam High School. were out lined in an article printed in last weeks Patriot. That article had Co dc chiefly with English beginners This week this article will discuss the work of the teachers and pupils in the rooms having f0veign-boru pupils who have obtained some knowledge of English.
 In the second room with Miss Emma Dutioa, teacher. gathered the more advanced pupils. These are divided into two groups; the lower called the intermediate. and the high CT called the senior group. 4 command of the spoken and written forms of the English language Is sought rather than B mere ability to read.
 Use Federal Textbook
 The readings for the intermediate group are drawn largely from the Federal Textbook, and the language work Is based upon the reading lesson. Difficult words are selected from the text, written upon the blackboard. pronounced. and the meaning discuss ed before any attempt is made to read. After the reading is over come drills on the use of verbs. adJectives. prononns and peeuliarities of sentence structure. As: To-day go to visit my cousin. Today Mir. Silva-to visit-cousin Yesterday Mrs Silva to visit-eousin.
 Then comes discussion of the story An outline is placed upon the board from which Che pupils repro duee both orally and in writing the story which has been read. Spelling and punctuation are acquired through the written work
 The language work of the senior or third year pupil Is q continuation and expansion of the wosk af the pre- vious grade, Here the pupil k more definitely prepared for citizenship. His reading puts him in touch with his town and gives him a knowledge of the state and nation.
 Pupils Read Putnam Patriot
 On Che evening of the Patriot re- porter's visit to the school the senior class was reading from the Patriot the account of Armistiee Day eele bration The teacher explained that besides textbooks the local and city papers were used for reading and for language work. Pupils learn to read more easily from stories in which they are interested They are interested in the doings of their home town. A knowledge of home affairs makes them better citizens. They read not only the news but the advertisements as well This refding promotes the civic and business interests of the community.
 To this group is taught a simple outline of American history and the workings of the town. state and fed eral governments One of the ques- tions always asked by the federal commissioner of naturalization is, Have you read the Constitution" When the applicant can say.
