OUR READERS WRITE:

A valid criticism of our
schools, is that we don't teach

The only reason for teaching
this subject is to facilitate com­
munication, to make transmismore
si on of thought
lucid, more effective. Yet most
of our students acquire little
schooling in speech or wri:
before they graduate.
DO IT OFTEN
The only way to learn to
write or speak-is to do it often,
but there are English classes in
which pupils have but i nfrequent exercises in expressing
themselves. Much class time is
spent on such details as gram­
mar, punctuation, correct usage,
and vocabulary. These lessors
are useful, but secondary. Be­
cause they are definite and easy
to teach, they are likely to be
over-emphasized. If more time
is given to such details than to
the expression of ideas, the
emphasis is completely wrong.
It is quite possible to have
each pupil from Grade 1. to
Grade XII put some ideas into
words each day. However, in
some .English < s-ses, pupils
may do very little original writ­
ing or speaking during the
whole year.
The time consumed in mark­
ing and correcting is the chief

The bird that I am going to
write about is the owl. The owl
cannot see at all by day and at
night is as blind as a bat.
I do not know much about the
owl, so I will go t.o the beast
which I am going to choose. It
is the cow. The cow is a mam­
mal. It has six sides—right, left
and upper and below. At the
back it has a- tail on which

sends the flies away so that
they do not fall into the milk.
■ The head is for the purpose
of growing horns and so that
the Drouth can be somewhere.
The horns are to butt with and
the mouth is to moo with. Under
the cow hangs the milk. It is

arranged for milking. When the
people milk, the milk comes and
there is never an end to the sup­
ply. How the cow does it I have
not realized, but it makes more
and more.- The cow has a fine
sense of smell; one can smell it
far away. This is the reason for
the fresh air in the country.
The man cow is called an ox.
It is not a mammal. The cow
does not eat much, but what it
eats its eats twice, so that it
gets enough. When it is hungry
it moos and when it says noth­
ing it is because its inside is full
up with grass.
