Unfortunately "Aleck" as an expert Ia
of imperfect qualifications, and Is even
poorly supplied with the books which
might afford a sufficient answer to the
questions asked, with full explanation
in the technical rules Of grammar. Lam
guage is based upon usage, and is purely
a matter of authority, and the author.
tiles to decide the questions above are
not now available. "Aleck" will hazard
an opinion, which may in every instance
be wrong.
at is rarely that one sees such spec
tacle"-equivalent to "One rarely sees
such spectacle" the impersonal form
of beginning the sentence being permit
ted for the purpose of bringing into
more emphasis the rareness. On the
other hand, sit is rare to see such
spectacle"
Search of such authorities as are avail.
able fails to disclose any rules regarding
the use of "more than ope." Really,
now, is there any one of the following
| forms that doesn't jar on your earsP
"More than one pupil was tardy."
"More than one pupil were tardy."
"More than one pupils were tardy."
There is little doubt that the average
mans impulse would lead him to say,
"More than one pupil was tardy," but
what authorities in grammar would say
ia another matter.
"He is one of the best men that ever
were," without much hesitation. But
the man of discretion would probably
dodge behind the fact that English Is
com paratively unaffected language, and
say, "He is one of the best men that
ever lived"
And here, in connection with "Inda.
gators" paragraph on this expression,
"Aleck" may remark that he has no ia,
miliarity with the Greek aorist, but be
has no sympathy with that labored
classification of English lenses which
makes substitute for the aorist In the
so-called "imperfect" tense. A predicate
in the present tense may be as truly i'm
perfect as one in the past tense. The
simplest classification of English lenses
is: Present, present perfect, past, past
perfect, future, future perfect. These
titles are significant and accurate, and
the classification is complete. So rich
in varying forms of expression Is the
| language that within one Of these lenses
every possible or desired shade Of mean
ing can be given.
And now that several opinions have
been expressed, perhaps a reference to
grammarians of authority would show
each one of them to be wrong.

SOME QUESTIONS THEREABoUT SUBMIT
TED TO "ALECK" FOR DECISION.

From the exposition which In the DEM
ocrat of July 20 "Aleck" gave OF some
common conversational errors" judge
that he has given considerable attention
to matters pertaining to corrupttons OF
the language, and accordingly, to him as
an expert on such matters / would like
to submit two or three expressions for
bis decision % to which forms Of the ex.
pressions are correct.
or the two forms of expression, cit
is rarely that one sees such q spectacle"
| and cit ia rare that one sees such spec
tacle," which is correct-tbat 10 to say,
is an adverb required in that aud similar
expressions, or should an adjective be
used? If an adverb 10 correct, what
should the adverb be parsed as modify
ing?
OF the two forms of expression, "More
than one pupil was tardy" and "More
than one pupil were tardy." which is
correct? If the form first given is cor.
rect, what is the grammatical subject OF
was?
OF the two forms of expression, HE is
one of the best men that ever was" and
HE is one of the best men that ever
WERE" which is correct? (As matter
of fact, suppose, in expressions OF that
kind, lever was" Tor "ever were'O Is an
error. for lever has been" Tor sever have
been'D, but as far as have observed, 10
such expressions people always use the
aorist instead of the perfect tenss.) :.
Dictionaries give "labor omnia vincit
improbus" as quotation from VergiPs
Eclogues, but the expression Is not
there, though the expression labor ON
mia vicit improbus" is there. -.
John Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"
says that EZRA of Good Feeling" Is 1.-THE
title of an article in the Boston Cen.
tinsr of July ~, 1871" but that state.
ment is incorrect both as to the title OF
the article and as to the name OF the
newspaper in which the article appear
ed, the title of the article being "The
Era of Good Feelings" and the name OF
the newspaper being the columbian
Centinel."
As to 0nearby," which "Aleck" says
"bas not got into the dictionaries"
will say that the Webster's New Interna-
tional Dictionary (the only large diction-
airy at hand as 1 write) gives the COM
pound word NEARBY" as an adverb,
proposition and adjective (though not
according the word regular standing),
which l am afraid foreshadows future
recognition by photographers of "near-
by" as legitimate word.
The word "piecemeal," of which
"Aleck" makes mention, Webster's New
International Dictionary blunderipgfy
fails to list as an adjective, though the
word is an adjective when used with the
meaning which that dictionary gives as
it's third definition of the word and is an
adjective in the example which that die
tionary gives to illustrate the use of the
word with the meaning given it in that
third definition.

Sir Herbert Beerbolf1n Tree, the famous English actor and theatrical srnanager, will be 62A years old today, having been born in London on Dec. IT, 1853. Sir Herbert long withstood the lure of the "rnovies,' but he at last succumbed. and recently went to California to spend several months acting before the camera. Sir Herbert admitted that his London theaeres had been seriously affected by the war. and stated that the public de- mand in England is now for light and frivolous plays, while the classical tragedies no longer attract.
