English and Latin.

IL is n prevalent fallacy that the knowl-
edge of dead language il essential tn the
mastery Of n live one, and as result an
exaggerated value is placed upon the study
of Latin. As n common sense proposition
we should say that Ia acquire ability and
fertility in the Use Of the English in tO be
most commended What matters IL that
so many English words were derived from
Latin when their varied definitions and
limitations are clearly shown in our stand
ard dictionaries. The gencllogy Of word
Is Of small moment compared with its con-
tcmporaneous utility. II may he "a corrup
tion of Latin il is true. and yet excellent
English, approved by writer's Of the high
est grade. Everything is evolutionary that
does not dctcriorate, and suhlimer scnti
ments could never b" clothed with more
marvellous beauty than in the English
tongue. Shakespeare. the most brilliant
master of expression humanity has evolv-
ed. used English exclusively. We have
never had lnguist so profound in the
depth or wide in the scope of his attain
mcnts as to lie able to fashion words with
the consummatc skill of Shakespeare. who
knew no language hut the English. Yet
In the face of this and other ilustrious
examples educators are continually in
sisting upon the study Of foreign or dead
languages as an essential to the proper
comprehension of the mother tongue
