The manner in which writing English Is
taught In tho grammar schools of New
York Is tho subject of nn article In the
New York Tribune. According to tho
writer, the plan pursued In the schools Is
to maxo the task as easy and natural us
pcsslble. Tho dreaded Idea of n regular
"composition" has been banished. Chll
drcl begin to write what for want of a bet
ter word must bo called compositions
when they are not moro than 7 or 8 years
old. Tho work Is given them to copy nt
this stage of the course, but It familiarizes
them with oentence construction. Ths lit
tle ones write laboriously "Papa planted a
tree," or "A tree grew by n brook." Thjy
write the sentence four or five times. The
teacher has already told them the storv
of the planting of the tree or of what
grow on tho banks of tho brook, so that
it Is not n moro meaningless phrase. Thero
Is Interest, which was conspicuously ab
sent from the wisdom of the old copybcok.
Thoy find that It Is Just ns easy to write
about the tree as to tell nbaut It. So self
censctousnegs docs not come with the verv
touch of tho uen.
Thnt h tho first stage. Then comes
original work and very original some of It
Is. Tho teacher tells a story of some birds
that sang in a tree nnd made everybody
happy with their sweet songs. The chll- i
dtcn listen, of coune, and a day or so later '
the teacher will call upon them to wrl'o
something about it. She will put on tho
board the word "sweetly'' and tell the
children to write soraothlng nbout the song
of the birds that shall bring In the word
"Bwoctly." Tho children have no dlfucultv
In putting down tho fact that the bluebird i
In tho tree sang sweetly, or that' tho
robin sang sweetly, or thnt all birds sine
sweetly. The bluebird and tbo robin nnd
tho pleasure of the birds' congs have all
been gone over in the class n day or a week
before. When the subject Is n llttlo more
complicated tho work becomos very Inter- ,
estlng. Under the word "blacksmith" thero
were somo bold nttompts. "The black
smith Is a pony show maker." "Tho black
smith weres n heavy apron." "The black
smith works all day long," and so forth.

rteaulU.
Lett to Good
"If t hndn't noted upon the advice of a
frlond. I am afraid that I should not have
been married today, nt least to my present
wife," laughed tho genial traveler to a De
troit ! reo I'reas man. "wnen i council
the woman she was of a verv romantlo
disposition, tho result of reading a class of
novels that pass for literature among somo
people. I think nt mat time sne nan an
idea thnt some day a prince with nodding
plumcB would como riding out of the enst
and carry her away for hlB bride. At any
rate, whenever I proposed, which was
ubout as often nM I met her, I got hcnutl
fully turned down. I was getting dlscour
aged when an old frlond of mine, who un
ilerstnort the situation, said to me:
'Mv lmv. Jennie is n good clrl. but her
heud Is In tho clouds the greater part of
tho time, Now, what you want to do Is
to catch her when she Is down on tho
earth with the rest of un. Let me give
you u pointer, Kvery Monday inornlus

lomlly baking, nnd right there Is yuur op.
portunlty to find her with her feet llrmly
planted upon the earth. Call around thero
when she Is over tho top of tho oven and
ntntft vour case.'
"I took tho hint nnd called early one Mon
day morning. ' found her In a calico
dress, with her hair done up In curl papers
and her arms busily manipulating a rolling
nln. and there. Heated on n kitchen chair.
without one romantic feature about It, she
promised to do mine. one iuiu mr imer
ward that at the time Rhn didn't know
which way was cast, letting alone conjur
inf up a prince."
Further preparation for the writing of
correct English Is given by dictation nnd
copying. The old style copybooks have
been superseded, of course. Nothing ,but
tho best English Is given to tho children
as a model. In one school laot week, for
Instance, the children were copying the de
scription of e.arly Manhattan from Irvlng's
"Knickerbocker History." It Interested
them, taught them something about the
place they live In, gave them the needed
cxcrclso In penmanship, familiarized them
with tho clear expression of thoughts nnd
made them accustomed to seeing tten
on paper things that they found nUi In
books. At this period, too, tho children
have letters as models, and these aro
copied for nn exercise In writing and also
as preparation for the writing of original
letters, which Is to como soon. When a
child Is 10 years old he Is writing simple
letters on such topics aa tho coming promo
tion, n subject on which he is sure to have
plenty to say and to express himself with
considerable clearness.
In this way the Idea of writing s some
thing entirely distinct "from talking Is done
away with.- It seems a not unnatural
process, and when the children are 10 or
1 years old they aro prepared to write
simple abstracts (only no such forbidding
title Is given to them) on the work done
In tho history, geography and literature
clashes.
In the higher grades, when the children
are 12 or 13, thero Is much work dono with
current events. Every month thero Is n
composition about something that has hap
pened In that month. When the president
was killed every child In the Now York
public schools of composition writing age
wrote something about McKlnley's llfo and
work. In a enso llko this, when tho subject
Is large, tho teacher will not attempt to
glvo much Idea of tho whole of a man's llfo.
Some special epoch Is made, to stand out
clearly, while the rest Is filled In xketchlly.
An excellent Idea Is dovelopod about this
time of having tho children write letters of
application for places, and simple business
letters such as overy one has to wrlto at
one tlmo or another. Tho teacher will
sometimes tell them to cut any advertise
ment for help wanted from a newspaper and
to answer it suitably, lu districts where
tho children arc obliged to leave tho gram
mar school to go to work this Is naturally
a great help to them. Any child of poor
parents who has attended school until H
years of age should bo able to wrlto "a cor
rectly expressed letter applying for a place.
When, as Is sometimes dono, tho girls and
boys aro asked to explain what they wish
to becomo In after life, tho need for this
sort of thing Is made ovldent, If the school
Is situated in a poor district. '

to a letter professedly written by one of
them to tho Boston Horald. bo far from
finding their lines cast In pleasant places,
tho teachers have been deluded, and find
that the government did not know anything
about the situation to which It Invited them.
As tho writer frankly Blgns his name to
the letter, the statements therein contained,
which have at least the air of plausibility,

wero led to expect that tho Filipinos had
under Spanish rulo few opportunities for
nc curing an education and that, therefore,
tho teachers would have no more than the
ordinary difficulties to contend with. The
actual facts, he says, are very much the re

session of the Philippine Islands the natives
who desired an education could secure It,
