WHAT is THE BEST
METHOD TO TEACH GRAMMAR
Continued from page five.)

The parts of speech may now be taken
up and careful drill given on each part.
Endeavor to have the pupil understand
the part of speech you are about to in
troduce before giving him the class
name for it. Then give a concise def
milton Of the class name, its derivation
and prove its applicability. The num-
her Of lessons devoted to the study OF
each part Of speech depends upon the
mental cahbre Of the class, since depth
and clearness of understanding rather
than rapid advancement are to be de-
sired.
With these lessons varied by exercises
in easy composition and sentences using
the synonyms, homonyms and opposites
as suggested by spelling or reading les
sons wearisome repetition Of form is
avoided, interest sustained, advance as
sured.
The study Of the elements Of the SEN
tence can be so gradually interviewer
with the lessons on the part of speech
that there is no noticeable effort re-
quired for analysis. Thus the mind
may be prepared for considering the
forms Of sentences with reference to
construction, and considerable practice
had in analysis, before taking up declen-
sions or conjugations.
A brief explanation of infection may
well be given before any portion Of it
is given to the class as a lesson. As
the first word Of the child is a name, so
should the noun be the first part of
speech to study under the head of infc-
ton. Gender, number and case require
careful explanation, discussion and drill
for each as it is represented. Care
must be taken now that the supplement
tary language is not neglected. This
may be made the written work for 9TH
er studies, but rules given in grammar
should be kept before the mind of the
pupil, that he may become accustomed
to using the tool designed for his use.
As action words are second in the nat
ural vocabulary, the verb comes second
in order in word-studying and conjuga-
ton of verbs may follow declension of
nouns.
Child-study reveals the fact that baby
says, Big horse runs fast" before the
pronouns 'T' and ''you" are under
stood. Acting upon this, I have given
comparison Of adjectives and adverbs
before declension of pronouns and have
met with greater success than when
following nouns with pronouns
After this stage in the work, applca-
ton Of the rules learned to all written
work and SO far as possible to utterance,
with frequent reviews and comparison
Of work, word history and study Of the
dictionary, my experience, therefore,
my rules, for presenting grammar, end.

The above named topic is timely and
interesting.
Teaching grammar is a difficult prob
lem and its solution is less probable
where incorrect habits have been
formed Unleaming is more difficult
than learning, hence the Importance of
learning the right thing in the right
way.
And since language is the vehicle of
thought nothing more important could
engage our attention than a wise con-
Sideration of that method which will
most readily give to the boys and girls
of Garrett county an adequate concep-
ton of thought and the proper use Of
words.
As is ones vocabulary and his skill in
using it so will be his astuteness in re-
ceiving or transferring thought. There
fore defniteness of purpose here upon
the part of the teacher is at once funda-
mental and becomes the underlying prin-
NAl'lN VI OH Il NlC CtuNdllOIl
In the PRONUNCIATION of doctrine or the
development of science there are GER
tain general principles common to all
people of every locality, yet there are
other and specific principles which diff
fer as needs and conditions differ.
1t is, therefore, evident that plan or
method to teach grammar in a county or
city of much advantage and culture,
might not be most keenly adapted to
some other place of less opportunity I
say this, not in disparagement, but as a
logical diagnosis.
Had John Locke and Lord Shaftes-
bury paused at the threshold of adapt
ability, the historic Grand Model might
have been a great blessing and these
two men would have entered the hall of
real benefactors.
In looking at Che schools Of Garrett
county from a grammer-view-point, we
find much to admire, yet in sober con-
sideration Of their needs we see the I'M
desirable winch should be eliminated,
and other features which should be
added.
To inaugurate method of teaching
grammar which will leave off the per-
nicious and take on the virtuous it would
not be wise to endorse the present plan,
for we practically have no system in the
rural district schools to teach language.
To patch the old is not ideal, hence |
offer to the teachers of Garrett county
the Inductive or Synthetical Method as
the simplest and most effective solution
of the problem at hand.
|, therefore, recommend that the pu-
pills of the First Grade be taught from
simple objects on the plan of reading

ing. The making and expression of the

DEATH TO MONOPOLY.

Two trusts are threatened by the proposition to remove the tax from alcohol used in the arts, viz: Stand ard Oil and wood alcohol. It IS ad- mitted that denatured alcohol will put the wood alcohol trust out of business and that the Standard Oil trust will not allow the denatured alcohol manufacturers to make a living. Now that it is favorbly re- ported, the Senate stands ready to pass it by big majority.
 Ours is the only civilized country in the world where alcohol used as it is proposed to use denatured alcohol is taxed, that is to say we are the only nation which presists in taxing the people for their heat and light, that great monopolies may flourish. The country demands the passage of the bill. Those who do not want 1t are either ignorant of the benefit it would confer on the country or are engaged in business which it threatens.

WILL DO STATE HARM.

In direct accord with the position taken by the Star several days ago regarding the efforts of certain railroads trying to annul the legality of road law of this state, the Arkan- sas Democrat very correctly says:
 The railroads should be the last to question the legality of the road tax amendment. Good roads benefit the railroads more in proportion to what they pay than they do the peo- pie. The railroads boast of their willingness to aid in all progressive movements. The proceedings insti- tuted by the Cotton Belt will do the state more harm than any legal process brought in the courts in twenty years"

The Cumberland Presbyterian church has, it is announced, united with the Presbyterian church after having contested in the courts of Illinois an injunction to prevent the union, the case being decided in favor of the unionists. This is as it should be. There are all together too many sects andlchurches where all are working to and for common purpose. We would be glad to see the M. E. and the M. E. church, South, become one organization now. Having one and the same creed there is no reason or necessity for two organizations.

POSSIBLY HE COULD TELL

Frank James the noted ex-bandlt was in Little Rock yesterday and left for Hot Springs. Some forty years ago the James boys or some of thelr confederates are alleged to have held up the old stage coach and robbed the passengers some eight miles this side of Hot Springs. The crime has always been credited Tn the public mind to the James boys and their gang" Whether true or not, Frank James could possibly tell. Sheriff Joe Hudigns of Polk county joined in the chase of the bandits on that occasion and his horse was shot from under him. He pumped sever al charges from his Winchester at the fleeing robbers while lying with one leg pinioned under the dead horse. Some few months age Joe Hudgins was assassinated at hls Polk county home and the alleged assassins are now in jail at Mens awaiting trial on the charge of hay ing committed the crime.

It is a pleasure to learn that none of the great railroad lines in this state, except the Cotton Belt, are opposing the road tax law, a state ment to that effect appearing in this issue of the Star. We cannot see how the Cotton Belt can afford to assail the validity of the road tax as it is clearly in the interest of all railroads to have good wagon roads and the railroads working to that end, and freely paying their road taxes, will make friends with the people

WE CAN'T DRINK THE OCEAN

q look upon this craze for wealth that possesses nearly all classes in our time as one of the most lamentable spectacles the world has ever seen. The old prayer, Give me neither pow erty nor riches, is the only sane one. The grand mistake we make is in sup posing that because a little money is a good thing, unlimited means is the sum of all good, or that our happi- ness will keep pace with the increase of our possessions. But such is not the case, because the number of things we can really make our own is limited. We cannot drink the ocean be we ever so thirsty. A cup of water from the spring is all we need. A friend of mine once said that if he outlived his wife he should put upon her tombstone, Died of Things killed by the multitude of possessions. The number of people who are thus killed Is no doubt very great. When Thoreau found that the specimens and curiosities that had accumulated upon his mantle piece needed dusting, he pitched them out of the window.
 The massing of great fortune is perilous enterprise. The giving away of a great fortune is equally a perilous enterprise, not to the man who gives it-it ought to be salutary to im-but to his beneficiaries.
 Very many of the great fortunes of our time have been accumulated by a process like that of turning all i the streams into your private reser- voir; they have caused great many people somewhere to be short o1 water and have taken away the power of many busy, peaceful
 people," John Burroughs.

THERE IS NO DEATH.

The Texarkanian giving an ac- count of the funeral services of Miss Bessie Bryant of that place recently, reports Rev. Henry Knott, rector of the Episcopal church, to have said in part:
 Beloved, there is no death, no halting place in life, no break in the continuity of personality of individ- ual consciousness and all that it implies of faculty. The great realm of the spiritual is all around us; it interpenetrates even the four walls of this chamber, and it stretches away beyond the utmost star. We seem to be in the presence of death, but life is even active in a sense even in the mortal remains before us, the body returns again, from its wonderful likeness a likeness weld ed by the life-breath of God into a divine shape. It returns again l say unto the dust whereof it was made, and it's immortal spiritual occupant what of her? She lives somewhere in the world where time is not neither place or space, loving still, speaking to angelic friends, enjoying with delight the company of those who went on before begin ming to work the glorious destiny hid in the heart of her Father and our Father, for all His children who realize that the losing of life for His dear sake, is to find it, in all the marvellous fulness of what life really does and must mean to a child of the Most High"

That the several American medicinal roots. the concentrated glycerlc extracts of which make up Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, have the strongest kind of endorsement by scores of lead ing medical writers of all the several schools of practice, a brief glance at the standard works on Mnterad 1fedtca will show. Of Golden Seal root, which is one of the prominent ingredients of uGolden Medical Discovery, i" Dr. Roberts Bartholow. of Jefferson Medical Col lepe. says: vVery useful as stom- achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomacb) catarrh and headaches accompanying same.y He also mentions catarrh of the gall duct, jaundice and constipa- tion as diseases which the use of Golden Seal root overcomes; also catarrh of the intestines, even when it has proceeded to ulceration, IS remarkably benefited by Hydrastis (Golden Seal root).
 Dr. Grover Coe, of New York, says: vHydrastis Golden Seal root exer- cises an especial influence over mu- cous surfaces. Upon the liver It acts with equal certainty and ef- ficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invig- orator. it has few equals.D Dr. Coe also advises it for affections of the spleen and other abdominal viscera generally, and for scrofulous and gland ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in- digestion, debility, chronic diarrhna, constipation, also in several affections peculiar to women, and in all chronic derangements of the liver; also for chronic inflammation of bladder, for which Dr. Coe says Nit Is one of the most reliable agents of cure"
 Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D., of the University of Pa, says of Golden Seal root that it is vof service in chronic catarrh of the stomach and bowels, following abuse of alcohol, and as q tonic after malarial fever.' He further says, it chas a distinct anti-malarial influence" Also rgood in all catarrhal conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor- rhna, etc., and as "a curative agent in chronic dyspepsia"
 Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., of the Medical Department, University City of N. Y., is equally loud in his praise of Golden Seal root, especially for it's tonic effects in convalescence from acute diseases and it's special tonic influence upon mucous surfaces and upon the gall bladder.
 Doctors Barton and Fully recom- mended Golden Seal root as pure tonic and as an alternative in dis eased conditions of the mucous mem- branes.
 Prof. John King, M. D., late of Gin cinnati, author of the AMERICAN DIs- PENsAToRY, gives it prominent place among medicinal agents, reiterates all the foregoing writers have said about it, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder, NJ. D., late of Cincinnati. Dr. Scud- der says: uIt stimulates the digestive processes and increases the assimilation of food. By these means the blood is enriched. the consequent improvement on the glandular and nervous systems are natural results Dr. Scudder further says, rin relation to it's general effect upon the system there is no medicine in use about tChicl there IS such general unanimity Q opinion.
