What the Papers Say
GOOD ENGLISH

That slang may sometimes DE ex-
cusable, but that bad grammar is not,
seems to be an idea which is rapidly
gaining ground in this country. There
are various movements to improve
the English of the American people,
too many of whom sink into the YER
nacular to the extent that it CRATES
upon the ears of those who like to
hear good English spoken.
At the convention of the national
council of teachers. in session at
Chicago, Prof. Winter of Harvard
bore down heavily upon the careless
manner of speech used by so many
men, as well as by society women. He
argued for a system of phonetic
spelling as one cure. and said that the
average cabby in London used better
grammar than many business men of
this country.
while in general / doubt if our
present day English is any worse
than it has been for scores of years."
said he, II do not entertain any hope
that we shall have a good national
speech, such as obtains in France
and England, on account of the shift
ing character Of our population and
its many foreign elements. The edu-
Gated classes OF the United States,
who have had the advantages of good
language study, are careless and slip
shod i'm their talk-a situation much

pleasant utterance are the marks of
education The man in the street
can be forgiven for mis- errors, but in
tellectual people. with elegance in
everything else, have no excuse for
abominable expression"
Even though 1.-THE great mass of
people may not be educated to the
point of using perfect English. there
is no excuse for educated and polish
ed people TO become slipshod. For
instance. it is a tragedy to meet So
cial climber and have her say: II
seen you when you come in the door. p"
And a great many of them talk just
that way.-Grand Rapids News.

CURRENCY TO MEET BUSINESS

The greater the industrial activity
and the resulting amount of COM
mercial paper, the greater addition
will be made TO the outstanding cir
culating notes, and thus for the first
time in the history of the country
business will find currency expanding
as the need for it expands. The fed
eral reserve board began business by
establishing discount rates which
looked very high until the abnormal
war conditions were considered.
These discount rates varied five and

Poster advertising on bOardings are
often bad enough, and the boards
stuck up in fields by our railway lines

sis of the blatant in advertisement is

writer in London Chronicle:

Luxembourg is plastered over with
lettering in the vilest Colors.
