TO THE EIHTOR OF 'trHE I'REJS." Sir, —.Many will be glad that you have (pointed out tho remerly to abate the. horrible nasal twang so preelominaiinj; in our midst. If the teachers ir. our se-hools are free from it, they would noti_*a at once the defect*, in tho children. It is no use think in a the parents can alter it-, for, as lyoui tsay, many are not sufficiently educated to do so., though for that matter it is much ihe same in the upper classes, especially among women, anel University students are not free from the twanjz. The teaching profession must first look to its defects before any bono can bo entertained of bringing about the ex-tinct-en of tho nasal manner cur mother tongue is in danger of in our fair young Dominion. —Yours, etc.. *_~ I 4 j. <".
