Originality the Aim of All
Modern Instructors
By Aletha Barr Tail.
If there are embryonic Hyrons Mil-
toiu or Tennyson in Oklahoma fity
schools they will assuredly li"t be dis-
couraged as thote of past years when
the teacher would throw modest ef-
forts of yerse into the wastrpaper bas-
ket or show just a plan lack of inter-
est in original poetic endeavors. On
the contrary local pupil-poets are not
only being allowed to develop but are
encouraged.
Practicality the Purpose.
The pre-ent system id teaching Kng-
lish is vastly different here in Okla-
homa lit) than of yore. Some nray
not favor it but nevertheless in the
lower grades the child trying to make
the adverbial clause feel more at home
in his brain is a thing of the past
Technical grammar is reserved for
higher grades and not much of it is
tauht there I lie younger cliil'I is
given practical experience in assimilat-
ing a language as it should be.
A ihild knocks at llir door. "Who
is iliere'" "It is mc" "You can't
come in." And there he must stand
mini hulii flaunt. Whv of course he
knows the trouble-he has been told
often "It is I " Ami then he is wel-
comed. That is the reason children
like grammar as it is taught today.
It is an appeal to the practical in the
Child that is evident in every line of
si Into) work.
Children Compose Rhymes.
Children in local schools are asked
to compose riddles rhymes recipes
i all original. The modern child is tnus
able to -.land on his feet before nis
fillows with confidence in his own
work and tell of it. Thus he develops
poise initiative and interest.
There are Hot tyvmany mill imirss
recitations today. Each child has had
the personal rlement injected into the
work. It is hi own not just what nas
been h-arned "out of the book l or
instance at Thanksgiving each child
was asked to make a log cabin from
an old box covered with cornstalks
rteds or grass. Then he was asked
to tell how he did it and of the people
who had lived in such houses.. Better
than reading out of a btxik or hearing
it read!
Soma Examples.
Examples of work of tiny tots may
seem at first a little crude and ludi-

Ah! what relief. No more tired feet;
no more burning feet ; no more swollen
aching tender sweaty feet. No more
soreness in corns callouses bunions.
No matter what ails your feet or what
under the sun you've tried without get-

only remedy that draws out all the
poisonous exudations which puff up the
feet. "Tiz" cures your foot trouble so
you'll never limp or draw up your fare
in pain. Your shoes won't seem tight
and your feet will never never hurt or
get sore and swollen. Think of it. rto

Oral Composition Favored.
In higher grades the work proceeds
along similar lines with the same idea
of developing the individual in the best

always necessary but in upper grades
the present tend is toward oral compo.

but in a greater degree poise initiative

One interesting feature of the San

is the use ot typewriters cm which chil-
