"Dr. Crane," he began, "Igrow disgusted at the poor English used by men and women who apply for jobs with our corporation. "Not only do high school graduates fail to spell correctly and employ the simple rules of ; grammar. "But even college students write as poorly as fifth graders in grammar school! "After they've spent sixteen years in grammar, high school and college, wouldn't you think they could at least use the basic tools of their native language with reasonable skill? "By analogy, if a carpenter had put in sixteen years, learning his trade, wouldn't he be expected to handle a saw, hammer, miter box or plane at the right places? "What's the use of taxing our citizens to offer free public education to kids for twelve years if they still can't demonstrate the elementary tools of education?" PARENTS, BEWARE! Parents, you can't blame the dedicated school teachers unduly, for education is a teamwork affair. By the time your kiddies reach the age of 5 years, you^ parents have Often indelibly impressed them with incorrect grammar and improper vocabulary, often studded with slang and even profanity. Besides, if the schools belatedly try to teach your children correct speech, do you parents then neutralize that superb free education as soon as the youngsters get home and hear you mutilate the English language? Do you exclaim before your grammar school kiddies, "Ain't that TV show real good?" How many of you parents can detect the errors in the following: (1) I don't have none. (2) Everybody did their work well. (3) Neither of us are going. (4) Him and I are going. (5) They invited she and I. (6) Who did they send. (7) She was dark complected. (8) His naughtiness aggravated the teacher. (9) She is laying down for a nap. (10) She raised six children. (11) He learned me to swim. (12) Raise up the window. (13) We'll wait on you at the corner. (14) I am anxious to goy (15) It made me mad. When you apply for a job or converse at a social party, you are quickly rated concerning your educational status. And it is your language that makes people think you are neither a college person vs. a grammar school dropout. Send for my booklet "How to Raise Your Child's School Marks", enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, for it contains an entire section on how to avoid the most common errors in English. If you speak correctly, people will consider you a college man or woman, even though you may never have finished high school! Parents, the best way to insure your child's college education is to teach him how to use correct English, for language is the "motor" of the educational machine! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
