Grammar and Absorption.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
There are some persons who never
studied grammar. and who hardly know a
noun from an adverb. but who neverthe-
less habitualy employ good English.
There are many others who in their
school day succeeded in passing their ex-
amnations in grammar, but to whom
good English seems to be an entirely un-
known language.
Realizing that the old methods of teach
ing grammar in the schools accomplishes
so little of the intended result, educators
have been seeking new ways. The latest
development along this line is TO be found
in a recommendation that will be made,
it is understood. to the New York board
of education. The recommendation comes
from commission appointed by the
board TO investigate and report upon the
present educational system. Ii is, in ef-
feet. that in all the elementary schools
grammar shall hereafter be taught solely
by absorption.
II this suggestion is carried into effect
there will be no more parsing. no more
analyses, no more parrot-like repeating OF
declensions and cOnjugations- On the
contrary. the pupils will be taught good
English by reading good English. More
attention will be given to correct speaking
than in the past and it is hoped that in
this way a majority of the children be-
fore they reach the secondary schools
will be able to speak English 1t least as
intelligently as does the newly arrived
foreigner.
Undoubtedly there is much need Of i'm
proveTnent. The English language is to-
day more often abused than used by
school children who are presumably learn
ing grammar If the absorption method
of teaching proves to be all that it's ad-
vocates claim for it, its general adoption
should speedily follow.
