Language study.

Broadly speaking. there are two
methods which are used for the teach
ing of language-that of the mother
and that of the grammarian. The child
learns its own or mother tongue from
the mother 1t learns foreign tongue
from teacher, whose highest ambition
is TO be a gramnarian. Does the child
learn better fIom the mother or from
the grammarian2 Without doubt, from
the mother, according to the mother
method
If this is so, must we use the exam
pie of the mother or of the grammarian
when we are tu begin the teaching of a
foreign languaEel Is there any reason
why foreign tongue should be other
wise taught than the mother tonguel Is
it not at least worth the trouble TO try
the method of Tie mother when it is
every day demonstrated that pupils who
have had five, six, seven years of teach
ing are unable, on leaving school, so
much as to understand when the Ian
guage they have been studying is used
