ESSAY ON GRAMMAR.
st. Louis School Girl Finds Parts OF
Speech Hard to Study.

Nellie Carleton, thirteen years old,
of st. Louis, found grammar diff
ficult study, but she did not let its
hard places discourage her. Instead
she made fun of them. The result of
her fun making was humorous lit
tie essay which greatly amused her
classmates and teachers when she
read it at the eighth grade commence
ment of the Emerson school,
R. l.. Barton, principal of the
school, was so much entertained by
the essay, entitled, "A Little Girls
Grammar that he consented to its
publication.
Here it is:
The night before grammar exam
/ ination / was studying very hard, but
couldn't straighten out the parts of
| speech. The Verb asserted its right
to the throne of the Subject, and the
Subject objected very seriously. The
compliments would act so independ-
emily that l couldn't do a thing with
them. The Advert persisted in ask
| ing for the hand of Miss Attribute,
while her mother, the Subject, chased
him out of the house with a broom
stick every time he called on her.
Master Proposition kept trying to in
troduce Miss Objective to Master OBJ
| ject, but finally he got discouraged
and went off to a corner to pout. The
Third Person would try to speak
while Master Verb kept asking for
Miss Nouns number and all was con-
| fusion. Master Conjunction kidnap-
ped little Miss Pronoun, therefore
taking possession of her person. The
Verb kept speaking constantly, and
would change his mood from time to
time. The Advert was trying to COM
pare the Nouns case with that of the
Pronoun
During this time | was having a
great deal of trouble with the sent
ences. One declared that his neigh
Dor had stolen his dress suit and that
he needed it to wear to a ball that
night; matters grew so complex and
compound that l gave it up.
Il still had trouble with the marks

very hard time catching them. The
Apostrophe was very bad and had to
be sent to bed for teasing Miss Hy-
phen for being thin, and / couldn't
make the Verbs parse right
Then | tried Conjugation. The In.
dicative invited the Potential and the
Subjunctive to dinner party. The
Potential said he might go if his wife
would let him, and the Subjunctive
said that if she went they would have
to take her home and the Indicative
J became offended and told them to GO
to- if they did not want to accept his
invitation. The row became noisy

SCIENCE IN MECHANICS.
Auto Is Epoch Making Convenience
i'm Modern Civilization.


Every new bit of machinery in this
old world of ours hastens the millen-
MUM when thrones have persisted
and when kings are dust, and when
the aristocracy of idleness has perish
ed from the earth" The hum of a
million or two motors along our roads
means better roads and more OF
them breaking down of local and
sectional prejudice; more uniform
laws governing traffic; a vast and
growing industry that takes it's stand
with all the others in the social ev.
olution working toward colectiveism
the dissemination of perfectly in
calculable amount of practical, com
nonsense, mechanical skill and intel
ligence among millions upon millions
of our people.
the science and practice of mechanics
once 1.-The mystery of a Glass; has
now become the common property OF
practically all mankind? And that
the motor, whether in car or boat
has been the main, driving factor in
this vast efflorescence of knowledge?
Twenty years ago the average man
knew little or nothing of mechanics
Today there are literally millions OF
men who have-though not profes,
sionally-a sound practical, working
knowledge of the principles of an en-
CINE, it's care, and its operation; mil
lions who can run one, repair one
and handle one intelligently. The au
to in my opinion, has done more to
spread a general knowledge of me-
chanics throughout the population, in
shorter time, than all the Technical
schools working full blast could pos
sibly have done.
And look at the coming generation
will you? Look at the millions Of
boys now being nurtured on pistons
cams, differentials, and carburetors
All the vast army of auto-owners
form also an army of instructors fol
the next batch of Americans. Boys
love machinery by nature, as bees
love cloyer-tops; and each auto ha:
it's little group of devotees. Every ga
rage is a fascinating hang-out for the
boys. Proud and glad, indeed, are
they, when some man says: Hey
sonny hold this here spark-plug while
| prime the cylinder" You can ey'
pand this motif yourself, indefinitely
Have l not struck a flowing well OF
truth?
1t all verifies the philosophical con
cept that machinery is today, after
all, the dominating force in modern
life; that civilization is at basis a
matter of superior mechanical skill:
and that the materialistic interpreta-
ton of history is correct.
The auto is making wiser, a hap
pier and better world. Vive l'auto.

Since the moving picture show has
come to town to stay,
The libraries have most closed, Tor
people stay away.
The children do not need the books 10
read of history,
But at the moving picture show they
learn more easily.
They see the famous men of old 10
deeds they've read about,
And greet the scenes of school book
lore with many happy shout.
They see where mighty Caesar passed
the river, Rubicon,
And how the Delaware was crossed
by our George Washington.
They see our father Adam and Mean
with his ark,
And Lincoln freeing hosts OF slaves In
DAYS that were most dark.
OF modern days and modern ways
they learn about as well,
And when Mike Donlin's at the bat,
they greet him with yell,
Then other days come in for praise,
and Shakespeare they enjoy,
While Robin Hood and his merry men
delight each girl and boy.
There's the Civil War whose battles
grim are shown upon the screen,
Lookout Mountain and Bull Run, and
many a northern scene,--
The stories from the Bible are SHOWN
with reverent skill,
And from the tales of Mother
Goose the kids see Jack and Jill.
OF every cline, of every time, the pic
lures tell us true,
And show the Riddles what's occur
red in times both old and new.
So story books and Libraries are emp
ty quite, today,
Because the moving picture show has
come to town to stay!
