ACCURACY IN PRONUNCIATION.

Quite recently a lecturer in this city sur
ers by using the word "eat' instead OF
ate and pronouncing it "et. He 'et," not
"ate'' his breakfast, for example If this
lecturer had not been well known as a
scholarly and accomplished person he would
have been set down promptly by these
critical listeners as a man Of defective
culture and doubt would have been cast
upon the value OF his address. AS it was,
the surprised persons instituted an investi-
cation and found good authority for "et''
as he used 1t. The word literature is the
critics. The test is in the last syllable

"Eyther'' and ''nyther'' are accepted by
other would-be purists as test words, but
the preferred pronunciation of these in the

aries gives the first syllable the long sound

many more of the same kind that might
affect the attitude of critics should first be
sure that they are standing on secure
ground.
1t is undoubtedly true that many edu-
Gated persons do mispronounce words. but
it is not safe to assume that they are
therefore lacking in intelligence or culture.
The vocabulary in common use to express
the everyday wants of a people is made
up of comparatively few words. Thousands
of words perfectly familiar to the eye of
every student of literature or reader of
frequently. Some of them are but rarely
spoken, being technical, uncolloquial, or so
suggestive of the pedantic as to lead to
their avoidance. So it easily happens that
one may be a person of learning and yet
not be familiar with the sound of certain
words of whose meaning he has the most
accurate understanding. The time comes
when it Is necessary for him to speak these
words, and if. thinking there was no need,
he has not posted himself on the pro-
nunciation, the chances are that he will
stumble over the intrlcacies and uncertain
ties Of the English tongue and bring upon
himself the sneers of the censors 1t would
be well, Of course, if all educated people
were infallible in such matters, but, the
language being what it is. derived from
many sources, with infinite variety of
sounds and infections and much that is
arbitrary and without apparent rule or rea-
son in photography and orthoepy, the most
accomplished scholars may be forgiven if
they fail now and then to live up to the
standard set for them by their less ac-
complished but overly fastidious fellow
beings.

NOT so BLACK AS PAINTED.

Professor Commonss book. Social Re-
form and the Church." contains so much
that is admirable that it's defects are, for
that cause, more noticeable. The chief de-
feet is that he paints existing conditions in
too dark colors. When he says, IN effect,
that the condition of the wage Garner or
the laboringman is worse now than thirty
years ago he not only discourages all who
would help to better these conditions. but
he opposes his declaration to all the sta
tistics of recent years, official or otherwise.
The statistics of the report Of the Senate
finance committee. prepared by the most
intelligent and upright statistician in the
country. show that since 1850 the wages Of
all callings, putting those of that year at
100 as a basis, had increased in this coun-
try TO 1907 in 1891 Furthermore in 1881, on
the same basis, wages were 146.5-an in
crease in ten years of 1A2 II based upon
the purchase power of wages and putting
those of 1860 at 100. those OF 1891 would be

ligent compiler of statistics, arrived at
equally hattering conclusions regarding the
increase of wages and their purchase pow
er. Now, If wages are not the measure of
progress. what can be? Poverty is the one
great cause OF human Indebtedness Pow
erty there may be with god wages. but if
so it is due chiefly to improvidence and in
temperance; but the mass Of workingmen
have surely improved their conditions with
this advance of wages. Reformers and
economists of Professor Commons's school
should accept such facts as a better basis
than assertion

upon some questions of social ethics and
conventional customs which needed prob

other. the themes of the most popular nov

GRIMM OR GRADGRIND-WHICH?

The recent "matter-of-fact'' departure of
the New York Sorosis Club, recommending
that nothing but simple truths be taught
to children, has revived a discussion
which was thought to have received it's
everlasting quietus In the day OF Charles
Dickens, when that master OF satire gave
Hard Times TO the world. 1 notice that
the Sunday Journal of April s reviews this
action of the Sorosis with some severity,
and perhaps without attaching due weight
to certain underlying and fundamental
principles.
The Journal appears shocked at the
thought of depriving the children Of the de-
licious inventions of Grimm and Andersen,
or the still more fascinating abslrdities OF
Carryl and Palmer Cox. The idea of ban
ishing Santa Claus or extermlnating the
dear little Brownies or discarding the
queer adventures OF Alice in Wonderland
is called preposterous and cruel. not to say
