H. Mar- tin, there has been a great changei and I can t`say it has been all for the good. In the old days we had the f 3 R's and we learned them thorough-' ly. Today there are far too many subjects for the children and as a;_ result some of the most important! things are neglected. Fifty years ago people took a pride in their writing; today when children get through] T school hardlypone writes a decent T T hand. `And as for our doctors and ' lawyers it needs a writing expert to I decipher most of 'their penmanship. Then -there is a lot of grammar that might be cut out; it certainly is not teaching the young `folks to `speak correctly. The amount of slang that is used is something fierce. `House- hold science, agriculture and music shouldbe compulsory and some of the frillscut out.
