Of confirming students in school six and
eight hours day and manufacturing

cal system as to require the student to

arrange our schools upon a new SEIZED

to spend half the day (from 5 a. m. to

other half in domestic pursuits ? This
would develop mind and body equally

be, and eliminate the games and gym

school appendages. Besides this, it
would eliminate great waste of time

Higher English Again.

A beautifully printed book, recently is
sued by Harper & Bros, New York, has no
| period either on the cover or on the title
page. 1t is also noticed that title pages are
generally printed in capitals, an errorY
which Mr.. C. has inadvertently omitted. Ii
therefore appears that his self-mposed task
increases on his hands. Perhaps it has not
occurred to Mr.. c. that in matter of typog
raphy, where display is the essential fea-
lure, printers rules take precedence over
rules of punctuation Hence, the usual
marks of punctuation may or may not be
omitted, according to the taste a7I Judgment
Of the printer. The information Mr.. c.
needs on this subject can be found in print.
ers' hand books, and not in works on Eng.
fish Grammar.
Attention is again directed to the sentence
from Lord Bacon, "Houses are made to live
in, and not to look on" Mr. c. says this
sentence does not end with proposition.
| True, the words "to look on" are correctly
parsed together as a verb, but whether we
regard "on" as proposition, an adverb, or
nothing in the combination, it is still small
word, and sounds no better at the end of
sentence in one character than in another.
Mr. c. recasts the sentence from Dome.
presenting it, as he thinks, in a more ele-
CANT form. If all the forcible, pointed sem
fences from that eloquent divine had been
thus remOdeled for him before their deliy-
cry, his name would scarcely have gone be
yond the limits of his parish, and his men,
DRY would long ago have persisted in merited
obscurity, With one stroke of his pen Mr..
c. has destroyed the conciseness, beauty,
and force of the sentence. If this is his
view of elegance, then give us more of
pointed terIeness aud power, and less Of
grammatical elegance.
We must here close this article, not daring
to presume further upon the patience and
generosity of the worthy editor. We trust
Mr.. c. will hereafter assume higher plane
of criticism, as he is so eminently qualified
20 do, and give us something above the level
of mere bubbles, Let him sharpen his pen,
clear his vision and plunge in mcdias res.

The 1908 Advanced.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee de-
cided last Saturday to advance the
100 3 suit on the docket, and set it for
hearing January 18th, 1882.
This is precisely what we expected
they would do, and are not surprised
or contounded by their action, but
rather, IN common with every law
abiding citizen of Tennessee, rejoice TO
know that we have at least one tribu.
nal--and that the main one-which can
not he bought by brides nor intimida-
ted by threats. 1t is useless tor us now
to spend time in repeating our opposi-
ton to the 1908 act. We opposed it
first aud will oppose it to the last yet
we are more interested in having an
upright Judiciary which holds the power
of life and death over our citizens than
we are in the temporary triumph of
any party measure. The spirit of law
lessness, recklessness, and revolution
without cause, is the most dangerous
and most to be dreaded evil of our
times. We repeat it; regardless Of
our preferences ia the matter, we are
rejoiced to know that the Supreme
Court, in this critical hour, has shown
itself alike above bribery and dema-
goguery.
We believe when a court is appealed
to for its decision, that decision should
be rendered without delay, without
sale and without denial, and when So
rendered it should be abided. If not,
then why appeal to court?
The decision in this case covers the
whole ground in a single sentence,
which says: "lf, in this state of the
case, the cause should be now heard
and be decided in favor of the COM
plainants, they will have obtained all
that they can DESIRE" If decided
against them, the injunction is and
always was wrong and should not
have been granted.

Christmas on December 25th.

The observance of the birthday Of
Christ began as early as the second
century, during the reign of Commo-
dus, emperor of Rome. During the
persecution under Dioclesian, multi
tude of Christians assembled to cele.
brate Christ's nativity, and that tyrant
ordered the doors closed and the house
and its inmates burned to ashes!
The custom of making gifts on that
day is derived from an old heather
practice Of the Northern nations OF
Europe, who celebrated the 25th Of
December as the birthday of Sol, the
sun, as that was about the period when
it emerged from the winter solstice
The 25th of December is, therefore, a
compromise day between the heathens
aud christians, the former having
doubtless observed the Dist day of De
ccmber as the Winter solstice, and
the latter the 9th day of January a,
Christ's natal day.
There is much uncertainty as tc
what day of the 365 should be observ.
ed as the anniversary of Christ's birth,
tut tomorrow has time-honored oh
servauce IN its favor, aud as it is nearest
the day and nearest at hand, we pro
pose to observe it as the day.
