ArithmeticaI Grammar as Taught in
CHICAGO.


Against cOrrupting and impure
English, Chicago educators have set
their faces like a flint. The blue
TO their laurels. In Chicago the
school teachers have got clear beyond
the discussion of such elementary
questions as the split infective and
the lis being DONE form. The high
er grammar is occupying their atten-
ton. The Chicago Tribune recently
related the proceedings of the leading
lights of the Chicago public school
system at the Palmer house, in which
the following interesting coIIoquy
took place:
For instance" said Supt. Payne,
leaning over the board. IF you take
three from eleven, what remains?'
Eight
That's where you show that you
really do need reformation. You
have eleven left. In order to have
been able to take the three from the
eleven you must have had a separate
group of eleven from the vicinity of
which you could remove the three
in fact, you must have had fourteen
in order to be able TO take three from
eleven"
Hold on" said the other. 81 had
eleven apples. / took three of them
away and there were eight left
Certainly" said Supt. Payne. You
took three of them away and left
eight. But what did you take the
three from? From the eleven? No,
indeed. From the other eight. Other
wise you must conceive of yourself as
taking the three apples from them
selves, as they were part of the origi-
nal eleven
The expression "eleven less three
equals eight the superintendent
found faulty because ''less' means
smaller" He admit FL it was diff
cult to prescribe just what t. say.
but suggested eleven diminished by
three equals eight"
The remarkable feature Of the af
fair was that the othrn traG hers took
the precise Mr.. Payne in earnest and
argued the point wit him. He bowled
most of them over, too. Now. what
would be the use of argument with
such a man? He would probably
point out n grammatical error in the
disputants first sentence, and n new
subject for argument would arise at
once.
Most of the Chicago literary theo-
ries of a startling character, it is
claimed, originated in the fertile brain
of Prof. Oscar L. Triggs. But it
seems Mr.. Payne purposes to dispute
pre-eminence with the professor in
this field of higher culture.

United States supreme court wills
pers in the presidential ear and the
president biurts ont loud that all pro-
motions must be made for merit, it
makes the representative of justice
feel cheap. No doubt it was out of
respect for this delicate feeling on
the part of the statesmen in Wash
ington that the president took Sena-
tor Cullom by the arm the other day
and led him off into a far-off corner,
placed his hand over his mouth and
whispered something in the senator
ial ear. 1t was the Rooseveltian way
of letting this persistent Office-seeKer
know that the president had heard
of the Cullom complaint that he talks
too loud on strictly confidential sub
iects."
