health. IL was the result she had ex.
pected, and then she proceeded to ex.
plain that the English language, ever
since she had been acquainted with IT,
had stood in dire need Of pronoun Of
the third person singular which ex-
presses either gender. She had OBJ
served that most of the feminine pro-
nouns terminated in "er," 80 it was al
easy as Observation-Disclosures just
to add the Ger" onto the masculine pro-
noun and get satisfactory composite.
Not only would 1t be useful in re-
lation to those bodies of people where
it was desired to speak Of his or her,
he or she, because such bodice were
composed of both men and women, but
it would serve useful purpose where
it was wished to eliminate all ques-
tions of gender. Equal rights associa-
tions, it is thought, might find it
peculiarly useful in writing out their
minutes. Daniel Webster once had an
awful time trying to untangle the, pro-
nouns in couple of lines of Tom
Moore's poetry, which would have been
simple enough If he had merely said:
AS the sunfiower turns toward his'er god
when ho'er sets
The same look which he'er turned when
he'er rose.
Of course it might have been q
little difficult for stranger to have
figured out whether it was the. god
that turned and the sunfiower that
rose and set, or the other way about,
but the fact would remain that the
structure of the language would have
been delightfully."- smooth and uniform.
The Chicago principals, when they
recovered from their surprise, politely
that it was all perfectly
lovely, but each went his'er way re-
solved that he'er would worry along
with the same old pronouns he'er had
been raised on.
Some fine day an exasperated lexi-
con is going to turn. And then there
will be marshaling of epithets, a
cracking of explosives, riot of re-
venge which will make future reform.

STILL HECTORING OUR ENG
LISH TONGUE.

There seems to be special race of
human beings whose mission in life is
to complicate the English language
with simplified rules. The ancient
parts of speech which were strong
enough and clear enough to convey a
lhirly good notion of what was intend
cd by the translators of the King James
version of the Bible and held the gold
of Shakespeare's mind in solution, are
suddenly found to be cumbersome,
awkward, and cloudy. Right in the
face of warning proverbs to the effect
that "the bad workman quarrels with
his, TOOLS" leading litterateurs like
Brander Matthews and Colonel Roose-
Welt attempt to apply square and
compass to our noble tongue. The ven
cradle vernacular seems able to defend
itself admirably, but the reformers still
arise.
Now, there is Mrs. Ella Flagg Young

tendent of schools out Chicago way. En-
route to meeting of the school prin-

proceeded to give it practical applica-
tion. She said;
