GRAMMAR

In the following sentence what part
Of speech is worth and considering
"The case is we'll worth considering:
[ have referred this to a learned pre-
feseor in Rockford who could not de-
eide. J. G.
Answer. In the sentence ''The case
is well worth considering we should
call worth considering" either an adj
jective phrase or a participial phrase,
referring to the noun case and nomna-
tive after the neuter verb. Grammar
ians all differ over such sentences.
We take the above from the Intea
Ocean of Saturday Jan uary 10, 1875
Triple Sheet.
We should call worth" proposition
and considering g participial noun
in the objective case governed by the
proposition worth.
What says the Educational Of The
Chicago Evening Journal?
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-01-24

writing these sounds, but this is both
redundant and defective. It contains
some rules for the use of the alphabet,
but these are rendered powerless by
|outWeighing exceptions. It makes a
faint show of law in the adoption of
foreign words, but admits the grossest
barbarisms and vacillates between
pronunciation and spelling.
Is it not thus shown that speech as
the gift of God must find counter
part in the art of man? That the two
powers Of the voice, sound and impulse,
are the matters for representation, the
latter the guide to syllabication, the
former to spelling? That the work of
purifying the English language, begun
and carried on so effectively by our
ancestors, now deyolyes upon us? and
that thepresent status Of things points
to its speedy consummation
That we may at once attack the
grossest errors, offer the following
resolutions and ask the attention of
educational meetings everywhere to
the points which they cover.
Resolved, That we acknowledge the
propriety of discarding all superduous
letters in spelling, and that such a
practice is hereby recommended.
RESOLVED, That the substitution Of
one letter to represent the sound Of
another is detrimental, and that the
abolishment of such a practice is here
by recommended.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-01-24

Character is so much more than
wealth or knowledge, fame or power,
that it is the measure of the man.
When a man is placed in prominent
position OF any sort whatever, we say
at once, "What is he worth ?" not
"What does he know?" but "What
sort of man is hep That is the mo-
mentous question that involves all.
AL others are secondary. Wealth,
knowledge, fame and power, are most
desirable accessions for a good man;
but otherwise they add strength in a
wrong direction. I wonder If the
young men and boys in our land rea-
LIE that character is the most impor-
tant capital in any and all business
transactions. If man Of large bust
ness is looking for partner or en-
ploye, what does he require first and
most Of all? An honest man or boy.
Wealth and position, with this first re-
quisite, will be no detraction, but
nothing without it,
What pillars are to a building, what
the foundation is, and the corner
stones thereof, so is a good character
to man or woman, boy or girl. The
wise man said, "a good name is rather
to be chosen than riches and he has
no lack Of wealth. Remember, boys
and it Will harm none to remember
that what you are is of infinite impor-
lance while what you have is infinite
in its value; it's end is the grave; while
the former will grow and enrich its
possessor through all the ages Of inn
mortality. Strive for it as for your
life, for life is naught withou5ii; If a
man die for his house. he is an ever
lasting hero; while if he dies for his
wealth, he is a sordid fool. We honor
it in death, If not in life. so teach US
to number our days, as to apply our
hearts unto wisdom
