watched and commented upon by the
crowd of spectators who have lined the

An event hardly less exciting than the
beginning of operations in paving Sec

corps of Southern Pacific surveyors in
our city today, which set rumors life as
to their purpose and intent in disturbing
the equanimity of our people in this
ruthless manner. Among the knowing

Southern Pacific would build branch

was limited that perhaps this would be

In country so varied as our own,
dialectic forms of speech are inevitable.
II is already problem how to preserve
the unity of the language and how to
resist the tendency, even of educated
persons, to employ one language for
colloquial purposes, and another and
often widely different language for the
purposes of written composition Again,
the making of new words and phrases
which species of manufacture is pushed
forward, in America, at a pace COM
mensurate with our material indus
tries-requires to be governed by whole
some principles, lest the purity of the
mothertongue be sullied by graftings
of rank alienisms, archalsms, obsoletes,
provincialisms, technicalities and IDIOT
isms. Finally, we have the Importance
of using the good and well-established
words correctly, and not loosely, inapt-
ly or in the slipshod fashion which
nurtures bad grammar, bad writing
and general indifference to pure forms
of speech. The newly completed stand

voting an interesting appendix to dis

determine correctness in English speech
and writing. followed by list of words

the present notice to brief scrutiny of
this appendix. which offers a fertile
field of instruction to all English-speak-

Inc lnlIty-nlnln verse OF the llrSL
chapter of the gospel according to st.
John has been criticised by certain stu
dents of our language for its fancied
misuse of the conjunction and" 1t is
as follows: He saith unto them, come
and see.' They came and saw where
He dwelt." Yet the same meaning
would not have been conveyed had the
verse read: "He saith unto them.
Come TO see They came to see where
He dwelt." And" is rightly used to
superadd the action Of one verb to that
of another. Go and get ii" implies
two acts, the first essential to IN. sec
ond. TRY and do it" does not imply
two acts. its meaning being Make an
attempt to do it," In the latter case.
therefore, the conjunction is Incorrectly
used. Whenever and can be replaced
by the simple inhnitive, without chang
ing the meaning. this change should be
made in the interest of good diction.
Two nouns connected by "and" may be
followed by a singular verb when the
two nouns are but different expressions
for the same thing; as, THE grandeur

Let us now consider a few of the
words and phrases that we Americans
commonly abuse. How often do we
hear such an expression as 'The SER
mon appeared i'm an abbreviated FORM"
when the speakers meaning was that IL
appeared in an abridged form? A GER
tain portion of the human anatomy the
abdomen, which many persons accent
on the first syllable, should invariably
receive accent on the penult. When one
refers to "the above statement" he is
guilty of making a clumsy adjective
out of an excellent proposition. 1t Is
just as easy and more finished to say
''the foregoing or "the preceding state
ment." When you accept or a gift
you overdo the thing, since the preposl-
ton Is unnecessary. Acoustics takes
singular predicate. Much confusion
commonly arising from the use of ad-
jectives and adverbs would be avoided
If the general principle were clearly
fixed in mind that an adjective is cor
rectly used In close association with a
verb when some quality of the subject
rather than of the action of the verb Is
to be expressed. In HE feels sad" the
adjective denotes quality of the sub
ject. But in you are looking badly"
the idea expressed Is in part the man
ner of appearance. as distinguished
from the purely adjectival use of the
word bad" which implies moral dere-
liction. The sense, in any case, must
decide when the adjectlval and when
the adverbial form is accurate. If all
writers and speakers would pause long
enough to make sure of the sense of
their remarks, errors In diction would
soon become fewer than they are.
Only slipshod writer's use the word
"aggravate" as synonymous with pro
woke" or 'eXasperate." 1t means "to
increase einintensity seriousness" and
may not imply provocation or exaspera-
tion at all, although 1t frequently does
imply these meanings. The contrac-
tion "ain't," always inelegant. Is often
positively obnoxious; as in "He amt
going" for "He is not or isn't going"
"Aint" is n vulgar contraction of "am
not or ''are not" Whensused with a
singular subject in the third person, II
Is utterly ungrammatical. Another
prevalent inaccuracy Is the use of the
words "all off, as In II saw all of
