Essentials Neglected.
It is n lamentable fact that
our public school system is drift-
ing from some of tho essentials
of education to other non-essential
Buhjects. How often we see
students almost through our
high schools whose penmanship
is hardly legible and whose spell-
ing ought to bring a flush of
shame.
Not many years ago the writer
heard tho president of a busi-
ness college tell about receiving
a short letter from a young num
relative to talcing a business
course in which he counted over
thirty errors in spelling and
punctuation.
Not long since our eyes fell
upon a letter written by a jun-
ior high school student in which
tho word chosen was spelled
"choosen" and accept was spell-
ed "accep."
Be it understood that we
are not objecting to higher ed-
ucation we fully believe in that
but there should be a constant
pounding and drilling on these
very essentials of an education.
For three years thu writer
taught four years high school
work nil alone but gave constant
daily practice to every student
in school on spelling and pen-
manship. In this day and nire tho secur
ing of more positions than over
depends on the ability of the
applicants in spelling penman-
ship and punctuation.

J This certainly is setting a bad

of the program all of the two

carried out in one day and then
Saturday could have been taken

If a paper report fully what is

an elevating influence but if it

A Clean Town.
Last week a man stated that
a traveling man remarked that
Elgin is one of the cleanest
towns in the state meaning in its
morals.
This is something that our cit-
iVjiis can certainly be nroud of.
oind towns boa it of what great
outness comers they are but
not how clean they are.
Do the farmers around Elgin
appreciate a clean town? Is not
that kind of a town a good place
to send your boys and girls to
school' Or do you prefer to do
your trading and send your
children to towns where prosti-
tutes gambling and bootlegging
