 All who language for living will rise up and cheer Miss Mae I. Schreiber, of Boston, whom inform e6 the Wayne County Teachers Institute that gram mar never helped any become facile in the use of English The best grammarians, Miss Schneider said use speech, but seldom have thing to say.
 Coming rules of grammar does more toward developing literary expressiyeness than study of the chemistry of paints would toward producing artistic genius. Words thought symbols If no thoughts stand sponsor for them they dead things of ink futile croakngs from the vocal organs however cum ningly they may be strung to gether.

 To judge the worth of what is said written ac- ooring its conformity rules Of grammar is like judging man by his raiment Men may rghtfuly take pride in being deoently garbed but when they put little much emphasis dress they become marks for scorn.
 Grammar, like dress and manners, Is learned best from example and immitation. Books of etiquette do ha: breeding and taste have accomplished
 Morals of language have their place but they can not be taught, rule by rule. If there is in a man something the world needs to hear, he will say 1t and be understood. If there be nothing in him though he speak with the tongue of academic arch angle he will say nothing and will listen
