EDUCATIONAL.
Questions Answered


In the Ohio Educational Monthly. fol
March, w. d. HenkIe, of Salem, Ohio,
gives the following. questions and an
swers, containing matter of interest to
school teachers and others:
I have been requested by A. III. NJ, OF
Butler county, Ohio, to answer the fol-
lowing questions. He says they relate
to actual points o. difficulty or doubt,
which have arisen from time to time in
his school-room experience
l. "What is the case of thou and ye,
in the expressions, Thou wrestler with
the deep; 'Ye men of Athens
These pronouns are in the nominative
absolute by direct address. This answer
is forthe expressions when detached
If my memory serves me right, the first
expression is from Mrs. Heman's Pearl
Diver, and is used as follows:
"Tbou 'rt passing fast from thy tells
away AFs
Thou wrestler with the seal"
In this case the second thou might be
parsed in the nomitive case in apposi-
ton with the first thou. If the order of
the lines were changed, it would be
better to consider thou before ,0restLer as
independent or absolute by direct ad-
dress. Ye men of Athens, l perceive
that in all things ye are too superstiti-
ous.n st. Paul, Acts II 4: %. In the
original Greek, the first ye is not ex-
pressed. 1t is of no consequence wheth-
er in such cases as "I John", "Ye
brooksn, we parse the nown as an appo-
sition with the pronoun or the reverse.
Goold Brown thinks the former method
easier for learners.
2. "In the sentence, The Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers form the Ohio,
is rivers in opposition with Allegheny
and Monongahela ?"
1 prefer to call Allegheny and Monon-
gahela adjectives, because as nouns the
article "the" would relate to them. and
it is Oh .stionable whether "the" ever
relates to strictly proper noun in the
singular. 1t is true that in Greek and
German the definite article relates to
proper nouns, as s'the John", "the Cy-
rush, but this use of it does not obtain
in English. Although such expressions
as "the first and second verses, "the
Po anu Tiber rivers", etc., have receiv-
ed the sanction of good usage, yet they
are anomalous. The adjective first can
not relate to verses. The expressions
.'the first and the second verse;, "the
Pc and the Tiber river", present no diff
ficulty in parsing.
8. "In the sentences, He lived, re-
spccted by all his neighbors'; He has q
dagger concealed beneath his cloak are
the italicized words 1st part participles
in the active voice, as Pinneo seems to
assume, or, are they not rather present
passive participles? Moreover, Is it not
true, that speaking from a classic
standpoint, while there is a form called
the lst past participle, yet in syntax
such participle is as imaginary as the
even root of negative quantity in alge-
bra?u ms. g. sac
PsFticiples, of themselves, do not ex-
press any particular time, and ought to
be named so that their names would not
suggest present, past. or fntnre time
A full discussion Of the subject would
require too much space, and i merely
refer to "Horne Tooke's Diversions of
