Devotion to Duty.
From the Golden Orgosy.]


During the siege OF Gibraltar its gov
ernor, General Elliott, was one day
making tour of inspection, when he
came upon German soldier, who,
though standing at his post, neither
presented arms nor even held his mus
ket.
"Do YOU know me, sentinel"' inquir-
ed the general. "Why do you neglect
your duty":'
"Iknow you we'll, general, and my
duty aiso," was the reply; 'but within
the last few minutes two Of the fingers
of my right hand have been shot of
and am unable to hold my musket.' y
"Why don't you go and have them
bound up"
Because in Germany man is for
hidden to quit his post until he is re-
lieved by another.
The general instantly dismounted,
"Now, my friend," said he, "give
me your musket and | will relieve you.
Go and have your wounds dressed"
The soldier obeyed, but went first to
the nearest guard-house, where he re-
ported that the general was standing on
duty in his place. His injury untitled
him for active service, but the story
of his courage soon reached England
and he was made an officer.

the sentences quoted by US are causa-
tive. is not relevant to this discussion,
as the fact of their being causative does
not conflict with their classification into
transitive verbs.
The main point at issue, however, is
whether an intransitive verb can take
an object. The teacher whose article
we are reviewing, evidently held the
opinion that it could, but judging from
the following language used by her
toward the close Of her article, we infer
that she has modified her views: ave
do not feel convinced Of the position we
maintained at the Teachers Associa-
ton, that these are examples Of pure
intransitive or complete verbs, and if a
noun (object) is to be definite, not It all
necessary to the sense, then such an
object is cognatc or noun Of kindred
meaning"
In conclusion we wish to thank the
writer of the article thus hastily re-
viewed, and hope for more contribu-
tons from the same source. The
Teachers Department is open to all
who may have anything to say to the
educational interests of the County.
Especially do we urge every member of
the Teachers Association to make free
use of this department. Send Us con-
trlbutions or questions.
