The history of the United States

peace there has been one year of war.
This Is a very fair average for peace

tinues there will be war. Man is nat

An effort to make the house bat

still found means Of entry. They held
possession against every onslaught.
Thousands were killed by negroes, q

English language may fairly be said
to be the most picturesque and most
expressive in the world, and 1t does

thought and idea than Of a susceptible

reveal our tendency to move with the
tide Of the hour, but at the same time
we clearly show that we are more imi-

frequently through sheer laziness. 1t
was the last word in the mouth of a
companion, and 1t becomes the next
word In ours. 1t Is echoed by the
speaker by the teacher, by the lecturer,
by the writer, but with rare exceptions
1t never becomes anything but slang.
After all, 1t is only the best Of slang
that survives, but even then we need
not excuse ourselves for becoming pro-
ficient in its use We should think Of
the present as well as Of the future.
Why use slang when we can speak the
speech Of our heritage equally well?
Why become the blind leaders of the
