the very best cowhide and with
double stiches on the sole."
In trying shoes on a lady, the best
English is none too good. A lady,
unless she is an exception, is very
hard to suit in shoes, and it requires
a great deal of talking and coaxing
on the part of the salesman in order
to put through the leal. With an
easy flow of beautiful descriptive
words and a remark or two on the
smallness of the foot and the nar
rowness of the shoe, a salesman is
more apt to wrap up the shoes than
if he had merely tried them on and
made no comments.
Always smile and be pleasant be
fore a customer. A pleasant word
about the weather or himself will
put him in a good humor and good
English with the right article will
do the rest.
Omit your slang and never he
"pert" to a customer. If he is right.
then let him understand that you;
are wrong and remember to let it be
known by using good English.

do as his teacher does. There is no
one who can teach a child to use
correct English as well as his teach
er can. However, good English is
like many other things. It doesn't
do us much good to know how to
talk correctly unless we do it. We
don't need teachers who only know
how to use correct English, but we
need those who know how and who
make good use of their knowledge.

Preacher Needs
English.
The preacher, more than any other
needs to use good English. He is
the messenger of God and should
deliver his message in such way as
to hold the interest of his listeners.
A preacher should be careful
about the use of his words. He
should use words most suitable to
bring out clearly and picturesquely
the story he has to tell. He should
use his words correctly or the beau
ty of the story will be lost. A
preacher should pronounce his
words correctly so that there will
be no danger of their being misun
derstood. He must use good enun
ciation so that his words can be
better heard and understood. He
should have a broad vocabulary,
speak easily and fluently, and make
his sentences clear and forceful.
One of last commands of Christ
was "Go Tell." The preacher is the
one best suited to do this. Therefore
hc needs to be master of good Eng
lish to do it. The preacher must
speak to the children, the ignorant,
and the well educated. His talks
must he interesting to the children.
easily understood by the ignorant,
and interesting to the well educated.
He must have command of a good
vocabulary and proper use of his
words, must speak clearly and force
fully, in order to carry the message
of God to the hearts of the people.

aration of his material for the trial.
He conies into court every day with
the most difficult words and terms
and his knowledge of good English
enables him to readily understand
and interpret these words and
terms. His ignorance of the mean
ing of just one word in the defini
tion of the law might cause him to
lose, his case and perhaps imperil
the ljfe of his client.
When the lawyer goes into the
court room to prove the innocence
of his client, he relies to great ex
lent, on good English. In question
ing his witnesses he uses a very
large vocabulary from which he
chooses the correct words that will
bringout the desired point. He
finds use for a very extensive vocab
ulary in selecting words of, different
weight and forcefulness to bring out
the strong points of his case or to
lead the witness gently over the
weak spets. One sentence careless
ly used by the lawyer in the exam
ination of his witness might cause
him to bring out evidence

On the other hand, if a child is
I brought up by a mother who is care
less with her speech and uses all
those incorrect expressions like
"Ain't," "can't," "I taken," etc., he
will get into the habit of using
slang and other incorrect expres
sions and once a child has formed
the "bad English habit," it is more
than a problem to get him out of it
ihen too, if a child stays in
school five hours, where he hears
it "isn't" used, and then goes home
where he hears "it ain't" used for
ten hours, which of these expres
sions would he naturally adopt for
his own? He would, of course, use
the one that he heard at home. So
we see that unless a child hears
good English at home, it will be
very hard for him to put Into prac
tice what he learns at school.
Therefore, "Good English must be
gin at home."
