Lauds Efforts
 Of Teachers
GiImartin Comments Association for Zeal Along
 Literary Lines

He showed by numerous ex- amples the many salient differences that exist in spelling, pronuncia- ton and usage between the Eng fish of England and the English of America
 Gilmartin flayed the so-called apist pronunciation, especially as used by radio announcers. that IS, using the British form rather than the good old American form. For example: using the long in process and the long o in progress.
 He expressed a hope to see the day when textbooks in English and teachers of English would de- vote more time and attention to correct pronunciation and vocabu- lary building. Also to develop a taste for good reading and to teach the pupils how to develop an ef- fective vocabulary and an excellent admixture. But to devote all the time to compulsory reading, in other words, to give them an over dose of the authors way, would prevent rather than reach the de- sired objective, that is, it might not create a taste or desire for that type of reading, but rather a dislike and unpleasant taste. Too much of anything. whether schol- astic or not, will not produce satis- factory results.
 In conclusion the speaker added that ability to speak fluently and correctly is the wish of every per- son. He will be judged by his ability to prove and speak clearly and distinctly, not by the number of books he has read. One must supplement the other, that is, vo- cabulary building and literature reading.

over 40 members of the Ele- mentary Teachers association, the largest gathering at an association meeting to date, were addressed yesterday afternoon at Crosby high school by John G. Gilmartin, Croft principal, who commended them for the zeal, enthusiasm and eagcrness they have shown in forming a literary club.
 He urged them to continue with 1t and tried to snow the innum- erable benefits that would accure to them, to tNe pupils and to the city as result.
 The speaker added that they should use it as a clearing house of efficient teaching methods and whenever a teacher found a plan practicable she should describe it at the meeting. The club even- tually would enable them to delve into scholastic work that would otherwise remain untapped. It would produce greater harmony among them and would tend to make their worS more uniform.

Homesteaders Increase
 On Michigan Farm Land

LANSING, Michigan, March 1.- Homesteaders in Michigan increas- ed from an average of 20 to 89 last year
 Although the State has 1,250,O00 acres classified as homestead land and 2,000 applicants for farms last year, only 89 were granted because most of the land is unfit for farm ing. Only abandoned farms. with improvements, were turned over to homesteaders.
 Closing of factories caused many to seek homesteads, on which fam ilies are able to raise enough to eat and go tax free for five years. But the Government expects most of the farms back on it's hands as soon as factory whistles begin to blow for most of the land is poor.
