SPOKEN ENGLISH
Importance In School Curriculum ■•Speaking generally, I think that far too much time is devoted in schools to writing and arithmetic, and far too little to spoken English,” said the headmaster, Mr. AV. H. Stevens, in his annual report at the distribution of prizes of Wellesley College in the Masonic Hall. Wellington, last night. "The ability to express one's self clearly, correctly, and fluently is, surely, one of the most important elements in the cultural equipment of the educated person,” Mr. Stevens added. “I intend next year to have definite lessons on speech training given throughout the school."
