Only a feAV days ago the board of visitors the State university reported that a great many of the students there could not speak and Avrite the English language.

Xow the fault is back in the first schools they attended. It's expected that students go to college Avith a good understanding of grammar and other elementary branches. There Is too much of this new-fangled modern idea in teaching and too many new books now in vogue for the good of our schools and children. I fear too much time and attention is given to thjngs of less importance.
