Teaching English to the Foreigners Here lly a Teacher.

Assi inila tion. of course, works wonders in schooling thr. for iun r in the American spirit; hut the daj-H estahlilicl in the ni'ht school for "Kn'hh to I'dii iirni is" accomplish most f,,r ,,)i the l-ttT and the v;iint. Here, tinder th- tutelage of vigorous. -heerful, np.ihh- comprehensive i:nocahulai . a enrn-ct Imlish nunciation and an apititude for J-ns-lih composition. I.ntrlish is th- only milium used in class, even though the teacher he able to convey information in the pupil's native tongue. At times, naturally, eomic-il Instances arise, v hen both te.o her .and tauirht are fea.ed, hut primitive gesture and pantomime usually straiKhtcn things.

clarification, 'runs. hop tnarchc?, tlp-toeH and ecn crawls" to the door. On the morrow the first 1 .' minutes of the session are devoted to "I walk to the door." "You run to the door." ' We march to the door." and other like acts. Thus a compendium of statements, each one complete in itself, is l.mlt up. No explanation is allowed to become monotonous or too lengthy. Simple words arc spelled out by the cI.Lss in unison. A simple letter to a friend is copied from the blackboard, while the teacher circulates about the room, correcting here and approving there.

On opening nihr the pupils learn by repeated imitation tho ordinary forms of salutation, tluir nure, their address anil their occupation in rral, net imaginary. Knulish. Tho Mjrnltleancc of I. you. we and so on U faithfully portrayed. The most attractive and best method of "yendinir a sentence home" is by acting it. The teacher announces, .'is he walks toward the door, "I walk to the door." A stude nts is then directed to do the same. The latter gets tip and says, perhaps. " I walk to the door." The Instructor stops him rd thereupon drills on the difference between the sounds of "v" and "w." Words like "veil" and "wall" are taken to illustrato the proper pronunciation. Incidentally, the meaning of "wall" and "veil" is made dear by actual, not spoken, explanation. A handkerchief held over (he face of a drawing on the blackboard sutllces for "veil." "J touch the wall. I hit the wall. T count the walls," etc., does for "wall." Now the same student, utters, jis he strides to the door, an improvd "I walk to the door." A change of erb is then employed. The Instructor, after possible halts for

The maestro. ;is the Italians term their teacher, then reads impressively a lesson from a reader, following whih each pupil is Kiven an opportunity to read. To keep the class on the oul vive, evcrv niirht overv one

in tho class gets his allotment of reading and oral work. During the evening a short settling-up exercise, with the windows wide open, is indulged in en masse. The whole evening Is made cheerful, but serious, business. To round out the night the last five minutes are spent in singing from a chart and later from memory a stanza or so from "Mv Countrv, 'Tis of Thee." Tour night a week. 120 nights or more a semester, a summer session of lU or 00 evenings, and soon tho cumulative Kntflish lessons evolve Into a rather surprising knowledge of the language. No slam? is taught. If a street expression is i:ed In class the teacher at once frowns upon it and henceforth it Is taboo, because "teacher says so." That is why the English of the fairly Intelligent foreigner after his nteht school training is noticeable for its careful choice of words.

(ood will and good work characterize evening school classes. Wherefore, tho "English to Foreigners" division is doing yocman duty in aiding tho alien to pick up a knowledge of his adopted country's tongue.

WHO OWNS AMMUNITION

FIRED ON BATTLEFIELD? Question in Debated In Ilcrlin Jurists Claim Wounded Soldier IUvamre I'xs Wlieii Struck. r.IIIUJX. May It. Who owns an extracted bullet? This question is being widely debate! here. The patient wants the bullet n.s a curiosity. The surgeon likes it to illustrate his successful operation, especially in lecturing before students or writing to his medical Journal on the subject. A judge in Herlin has decided that a wounded soldier ha.s a perfect right to the bullet that lodged in his body, because when it reached him, it was

legally subject to nobody's ownership. The enemy relinquished its ownership in sending the bullet forth. This question of no owr.ership docs not give the surgeon who extracts tho bullet

any right to it. een if tho wounded soldier at the time should be uncon

scious and unablo to assert his claim.

Should tne surgeon nevertheless re

tain the bullet extracted by him the

soldier has a good cause for damages

against him.

Other jurists, howeer. assert that

tho enemy does not lose its ownership after the firing of the bullet; that ammunition belongs to the state and nut

to individual soldiers. Whoever comes out victorious in a battle has a right to all the ammunition that has

been fired and which can be recovered from the wounded or dead.
