EDUCATIONAL.
(By G.. w. Meisnest.) J

| In his annual report the superinten-
dent of schools of the state of Ohio
dwells at considerable length on the i'm
portance of paying more attention to
reading in our public schools, That is,
that the teacher see to it that the pu-
pile understands what he reads. On
this point the superintendent says:
discriminating teachers have not
failed to see difficulties which pupils
experience in the study of arithmetic,
grammar geography, and history, are
frequently SIMPLY the results of their
inability to read with full comprehen-
sion the printed page"
There is great deal of truth in the
| above assertion. We never yet saw a
good scholar who was poor and ignor-
ant reader. BY ignorant reader we
mean one who does not understand the
meaning of the words he reads. And
we never yet saw a person who was de.
! ltermined TO know the meaning of words
and who forced himself out to read of
| things he was not familiar with but
who grew rapidly in the requirement
of knowledge. This is one reason why
and how SO many men have educated
themselves To the extent that they are
able To cope we'll with those who are
the product of the schools Bacon
said, reading makes full man, writing
AN accurate man, and speaking a ready
man. The foundation of the last two
is the full man. A great many teach
ers allow their pupils to stumble and
halt in their studies because they do
not see to it that the pupil understands
the terms in which knowledge is con
veyed. a knowledge of the meaning OF
terms is wonderful help, especially in
the study of arthmetic.--EN.

NEW PARCEL POST RULING

estimated at 100000, made possible
10y a ruling of the po,toflice depart

class mail matter.
The ruling was given nearly ter
months ago, but the first insta,ment OF
annual catalogues under the new list

Uunder the former ruling the com.

THE SPLIY INFlNlTINE.

| Students of the English language
have long known that the split mimi
tive is widely condemned and should be
avoided, but every observant reader Is
aware that many good writer's may oc-
cassionally be caught mapping IL this
particular. The reason for this Is OBJ
vlous. To avoid placing the Qualifying
adyerh between the ITO" ard the asso-
ciated verb in every case appears at
times to be difficult, even awkward,
and it is only the very watchtul who
never offend the purlsts 10y such col
location of words.
A recent bold defender of the split
inlintlve repudiates the assertion that
the outlawad form is "a modern perVer-
sion and wllfuIly splits an intinitive ln
cOntending that it is but natural ar
rangement of words ITO tOrcetuily eN

marians may be found occasionally in

no careful writer who pays attention To
style wishes TO be caught perpetratlng
IA split ininitlve. 1t Is IA question OF
whether one is to ignore or be guided
by the consensus Of the critical opinion
of ones own period. The defender OF

Byron wrote, "To slowly trace the

count was dubbed the father OF the

my. But before him Burns wrote IN
The Cotter's Saturday night: who

This overIooks the fact that poetic
license permits what would be con.
demned in the prose stylist. If Byron
had written, "ro trace slowly the for
ests shady scene" his rhythm would
have been shattered, but he would
have avoided split inhnitye and per
haps would not have seriously disturb.
ed his rhythm if he had written,
Slowly To trace the forests shay
scene." In the Burns quotation, how.
ever, "noDly TO stem" or "to stem no
bly," would have been equally disas-
trous, AS the sensitive ear will at once
perceive.
1t is reasonably safe TO conclude
therefore, that, although the split in
finitlve can and should be avoided in
prose, It's occasional employment in
verse may be necessary and should not
be condemned
