By DR.. BENJAMIN FINE
Educators Study Problem of Teaching EnqIish

American schools and col.
legeS are on the carpet again,
This time they are accused Of
doing a Grade B Job in the
teaching of English.
A growing volume of COM
plants has focused attention
on this important subject
Many students, it has beer
found, cannot speak English
correctly even after they grad
uate from college. Too often
their written English is afro
ciouS. Some would call it half
literate.
The high school teacher ac-
cuSes the elementary teacher
of laXity in the teaching 3t
English. why don't you send
us kids who can read or write
intelligently?" they complain
In turn the college professor
lets out a roar of his own
why can't the high schools
send us students who know the
meaning of English?" they
protest.
These complaints are valid
Educators generally recognize
that a large number of Still
dents never learn to write the
English language. Many never
master even the rudiments of
English grammar. They don't
know how to speak, write-or
even read-their native Ian
guage effectively.
Various Studies
The Nations leading edu-
Gators are now seeking answers
to this vexing problem. In 1858
the Fund for the Advancement
OF Education provided a grant
for 28 members Of the teaching
profession on all levels to con-
Ter for a year to outline the
basic issues in the teaching of
English" Their report, issued
recently, outlined ways to help
students learn English properly.
DR.. James B. Conant, presi-
dent emeritus of Harvard Uni
verslty, in his Nationwide
study of the American high
school. likewise devoted con-
siderable attention to the prob
lem of teaching students to
read and write correctly
The College Entrance Exam

pointed a commission on Eng
lish to make a thorough study
of the teaching of English A
committee of 13 educators
headed by Prof. Harold Martin
of Harvard University, is now
delving into all aspects of the
problem.
In interviews with members
of this commission this writer
has secured the latest findings
of those immediately involved
in the English teaching Prob
lem. The consensus is that
many errors have been made in
the Nations schools: English is
required for four years in most
high schools, out for many
students it is a wasted four
years.
OvercrOwded Glasses
The teachers. with some JUS
tiflcation, say they are helpless.
More than any other subject,
English requires small classes,
minimum student load, time
to prepare lessons adequately
and time to read and correct
the large number of theme
papers. The average high school
teacher of English has five
classes of 80 students each, or
total of $50. Many have
closer to 200, while those with
fewer than 100 students are few
and far between.
DR.. John j. Theobold, super
intendent of New York City
schools, specified what this
means.
AN English teacher with $50
students. if she gave one theme
a week, would have to correct
$50 papers weekly" DR.. Theo-
bold points out. If we assume
that she spent a half hour on
each theme, as she should to
do an adequate job, she would
have to spend rs hours a week
just correcting papers. Or if
she spent Is minutes on each
paper, it would mean 3712
hours of homework"
