SIR: In his article on Some Points in
American Speech and Customs" reprinted in last sun
days GrIBuNE Mr. Freeman says it Is slang to use the
word metropolis, " to designate large city. and that
the proper application Of the word IS TO place where
bishop has his seat / find no authority for the
limited use Of the word which he would require. Our
two great American photographers define metropolis AS
the chief city capital Of kingdom. state or conn
try" The latest English dictionary, now being pub
shed I'm parts gives the definition. addiuz ~
London. OF England, Paris, Of France; CONSTANT
NOBLE. of Turkey" The word Is compounded r"u two
Greek words meaning mother" and CITY. Has not Mr.
Freeman got before the horse Was not bishop
or nay called metropolitan because he lived IN the
mother city and chief city metropolis because Of
lis being the residence OF bshopl However TIN, may
be It Is not slang but good Enssh TO speak OF New
