To neglect everything else for Engllab would perhaps be rather extrune. but there is. nevertheleu. e. certain amount of sound reason- iiu behind the suggestion. There is little question that an alarm- inelr In-so peraenteso of pupil: enter high school poorly equipped in fundamental English construc- tions. Certainly this poor ground- ing in Englilh. which is so wide- spread. is O formidable handicap, preventing pupils from under- standing properly, and expressing properly the subject matter of the high school grades.

We sincerely believe it would be a step in the right direction to go part way with this educator”; idea. radical though it seems to be. Primary pupils could not safely ignore the science of numbers, which is called -fdhmetic in the earlier school years. But aim. of the time could be devoted to arithmetic, and 76m to English, the students gaining information from these studies more or less casually, but not being required to pose examinations in them. Much the same thing is done now with such school subjects as music, physical drill. etc.

I 0 O

This plan would put the stress directly on English where it un- doubtediy belongs. It would allow time for exhaustive drill in English fundamentals, and this drill carried on year after year could not help but produce pupils much better grounded in English, and, as a consequenw, much better equipped to handle other subjects which are necessary to a well-rounded educa- tion.
