a NEW ENGLISH GRAMMAR
By an Eminent North Carolina Scholar and
Teacher.

Our Language Grammar has just come
from the presses of the B. F.. Johnson
Publishing Company, of Richmond. This
Is a new addition to the rapidly growing
list of strictly up-to-date textbooks by
North Carolina authors. This new gram
mar Is by C. Alphonzo Smith, Phi. D.,
Professor of English in the University Of
North Carolina, n one OF the foremost
scholars OF the South.
This grammar the author and publish
crs claim is built upon the practical idea
rather than the theoretical, and from a
partial glance through its pages we would
infer that this claim is well based. 1t
locks interesting and entertaining as well
as Instructive. 1t comes from a man
who has learned and taught all the way
up from the common school to the uni
versity, and a man who knows his bust
ness when It comes to speaking, writing
or defining the English language.
Tn order followed is the normal or
der: The paragraph, the sentence, the
clause, the phrase, then, IN Part II, the
parts of speech in detail.
The insertion Of a chapter on punctua-
ton and one on spelling needs no de
fence. Every teacher of elementary
Egllsh knows that these subjects belong
necessarily to constructive English, and
are DIT the same Clme most ignored III
common school grammars.
Then, too, the book is interesting.
Every effort has been made to make old
things seem new and, what is harder stun,
new things old.
The proof sheets ave passed under the
critical eye OF many ~weil-known educa-
tors, including Mrs. Ida B. McMurry,

Sunday School Work in North Carolina

The next two or three months promises
to be full of interest for Sunday school
workers throughout the State. Prof. S.
NJ. Smith, General Secretary of the State
sunday School Association, reports a grow
ing interest in the work from every sec
ton. Not only is this so with reference
to the work in general but in the Sunday
school conventions and conferences which
have been held by the different denomi-
nations there is a considerable increase
OF interest In the work, especially with
reference to better methods, and a more
thorough preparation on the part of teach
ers. The North Carolina Sunday School
Association has entered the field for the
sole rpo of helping to reach these de-
sired ends.
The work which the organizations is do
ing IS without respect to any one denomi-
nation but in the interest of all. The ex-
ecutlve committee is composed Of the lead
ing Sunday school workers of every evan
gelical denomination in the State, Mr.. N.

Sunday School Teachers Organize,

The Sunday school teachers Of the adj
vanced grades III the Sunday schools of
the city have organized a union to meet
every Tuesday evening at s o'clock. Such
an organization was effected last week at
a meeting of the superintendent of the
city held at the Commercial and Farmers
Bank The first meeting of the union
will be held at the Sunday School Asso-
citation Headquarters III the Andrews
building next Tuesday evening at eight
o'clock. Prof. T. Neil Johnson, of the
Baptist Female University, will be pres
ent and teach the lesson for next Sunday,
after which the union Will be organized
and Il definite line Of work arranged. The
purpose of the organization is not only to
study the lesson, but to study the best
methods of teaching it. 1t is probable
that course in normal training and Sun
day school pedagogy will be arranged for
the fall and winter. No organization has
ever been effected in our city which is
calculated to mean more to the Sunday
schools than this union. All the Sunday
school teachers of Raleigh should Join at
once and take advantage of this most ex-
cellent opportunity.

between Beaufort and Martin counties.
They went to Ayers place and found two
barrels of brandy that were not entered
on his books. When ayers knew OF their
discovery, he was very unwilling for them
to search further, but offered no vio-
lence, and they started to enter the
house. Ayers hung back, and Deputy
Vinson kept with him, urging hIm to
