Grammar in the Public Schools.

Grammar in the Public Schools.
Since the matter is generally left to
individual teachers to decide, Is may not
be out of place to give some idea, which
must however, be taken as individual.
The first charge is, that the textbook is
used entirely too soon. Grammer, at
best, is difficult study. All the sub
terfuges Of ''easy lessons in grammar"
can only degrade the tt ao science. In
10 other study do teachers 50 univer-
sal'y lose sight of the development of the
Young mind: In nothing else do they
cxnect clear understanding of things
which they themselves cannot dcGae.
To get around this failure to under
stand the pure language of grammer,
the modern invention of introducing
such expressions as "name word, %
opposition word, faction word, etc,
was brought forward, and only served to
make the matter worse The study of
grammar found its way into our public
schools by accident, and then was allow
ed to remain. Now has it done even a
respectable part of all shat was claimed
for it?
A few years ago the Cincinnati Board
OF Education took it from the district
schools OF that city. This certainly was
rash out there were reasons for the
act. Grammar is defined as that science
which teaches the correct use of Ian
guage. The Board SAID that, '.if ;he
language Of those admitted to the High
School was an indication Of the value Of
the study, the sooner It was dispensed
with, the better" Thus the second
charge is, chat it is not well taught.
Why? It's sphere as one of the means
Of education is not properly recognized.
Underlying, as it does, the whole study
of languages-standIng at the very base
Of the meaus of culture, it should be
one of the last things taught in our
country schools, Every reading lessor,
from the time child enters school,
should be . loD&nago lesson. A pupil
should not Be taught anything that he
will ever have to unlearn, This is now
done because 50 few teachers have clear
and well defined ideas of the subject.
So few, indeed, "have reason for the
faith that is in them" The lack Of
preparation for the profession is shown
more plainly in the teachers work IN
grammar than in anything else. I'm
provement can be expected in this &C
cording to the growth of the professional
spirit. Normal Advocate,
