NEW BRUNSWICK, March Mrs. Mary
Wilkins Freeman, the authoress, has stirred
up the village OF Metuchen, in which she
lives, by her latest novel, "The Debtor"
The scenes of the book are evidently laid
in New Jersey and the Metuchen folks are
sure that Mrs. Freeman intended to de-
scribe places in and near home. They also
believe that the originals of some of the
characters are townspeople and Mrs. Free
man is not as popular in some quarters as
she was before the novel appeared. It's

THE DICTIONARY AS AN INSTRUCTOR.

logically follows that there should be
some standard of purity. The student
consults the dictionary for the spell
ing, definition, and pronunciation, of
words; he adopts those that are record
ed as correct. and when, from time to
time, new dictionaries are compiled to
meet the requirements due to cOmpe-
titious and the exigencies due to re-
search. discovery, and invention, the
matter recorded is only such as is sane
toned by good usage; the usage of
those who-because of their ability,
training, and station,-are qualified to
stamp the forms with their approba-
tion; hence it is that as in law so is
There in language a duly established

Just as the realm of law has had
its Blackstone, its Greenleaf, and its
Cooley, so, too, the language world has
had its Johnson, its Webster, and its
Worcester. The volumes bearing the

ate, the best principles of judge.
evolved law as laid down by the ablest
legal minds of departed centuries, and
in like manner, the dictionaries are
not the work of any one person, OF
group of persons, but the joint. pro
duct of many minds rejecting the
best scholarships of the ages. And
this is as it should be, for were it moi

"HE February issue of our official
magazine-The Chautauguan
contained this paragraph:
"The Chautauqua reader who
is on the lookout for chance to en-
large his vocabulary will find many
opportunities in our present months
reading. Such words as bizarre, abacus,
and schrof, which occur in the Read
ing Journey, are merely suggestion.
We often read words and think we
understand them, when if asked to
pronounce or define them we should
hesitate. 1t is good thing to culti-
vate the habit of consulting diction-
ary and let every reader see to it that
on the table, or in some convenient
place, a pad and pencil are always at
hand SO that words may be noted
down. No studious Chautauquan
ought to carry thru a years reading
without the consciousness that at least
twenty-five new words had been added
to his equipment for expressing his
ideas"
UnQuestionably the foregoing
contains an excellent ggestion-asug-
gestion worthy ofadoption by Chautau-
quans in general, and by members of
the Pierisn Circle in particular. With
us "TINIE" is-unfortunately- plen-
teous possession, and, with many of us,
the problem is how to employ it use
fully. Isubmit that time is profitably
employed that is devoted to an endeav.
or to master the fundamentals of ones
mother tongue; the proper formation
and the correct pronunciation OF
words, as we'll as the authoritative
meaning they convey.
knowledge along the lines indicated
is essential to a nice discrimination in
the use of words, and just as ones de
pertinent is mute evidence of ones
breeding, so, too, does ones speech
betoken either the illiteracy or th'
culture of the speaker. Prof. Henri!
Drummond has said: "You can uR
lock mans whole life if you watcl
what words he uses most. We hav'
such a small set of words which, th'
we are scarcely aware of it, we alway
work with, and which really expires
all that we mean by life or have foun'
out of it."
We should not, however, cultivat
an extensive vocabulary merely be
cause it gives the hallmark of culture
but rather should we endeavor to al
tain it because, by so doing, we ar
brought into closer harmony with ths
perfection for which everyone shoul
strive. A mastery of the meaning
of the pronunciation of words, howe'
er, is, of itself, not sufficient. Toposse'
knowledge and yet not to put it int
practical use is not unlike hoardin
capital which, If judiciously circulate
would return dividends commensura'
with the investment.
