DON'T USE SLOVENLY SPEECH
Why an Early Training In Grammar
Helps--A Manufacturers lapses
are Embarrassing.

A woman was discussing the other
day her husbands tricks of speech. He
Is descended from one of the most
aristocratic families Of the state and
had every educational advantage. But
now at his factory he constantly as
sociates with uneducated men and
makes the same kind of errors In
speech that they do. II he had less
social prominence, he would be called
an ignoramus. One can forgive the
workingman. who never had much
chance at schooling, for such blunders.
But when a collegebred man says
'"Ain't this finer" It does seem rather
slovenly.
. Perhaps this man was an exemplifi-
cation of the fad Of dropping study Of
formal grammar in school. the Law
renee (Mass) Eagle observes. This
education theory has influential
spokesman. as will be seen in an ad-
dress just delivered by an oncial Of
the general education board Of New
York. concerning which the board asks
for general expression Of opinion.
Some people ask. What use is gram
mar, anyway? Why is It not a. we'll
to say them things" as those
things?" The meaning IL perfectly
clear. and II SO. is not the purpose Of
speech observed? Yet there would be
no end Of confusion II the bars were
let down. A fixed agreement that cer-
tain forms are to be used for certain
ideas promotes clarity of thought. The
mind grasps the regular form more
quickly than an irregular one. Ease
Of expression and understanding are
promoted by the practice Of regularity.
Some advanced educators. while
holding firmly to the need Of grammar.
argue that you don't need to teach It
In set lessons. II the child hears cor
rect forms In school, he will speak
them afterward, they argue.
This seems to ignore the influence
Of ones surroundings after quitting
school. when one encounters flood
OF incorrect speech in daily life. The
memory of the way you used to speak
in school or college fades out. Then
comes In the use OF the old parsing
lesson. The memory Of nouns and
verbs and possessives and detectives
what they meant and how they were
related, comes back like a rock amid
the sands.

Heads Up!

IAN expert automobile driver Of my
acquaintance" says Frederick Upham
Adams in American Magazine, has
coined an injunction which might well
be adopted by all drivers pending the
adoption OF the reforms outlined. Most
Of those who risk their lives crossing
streets between intersections do so
with their heads down. their half
closed eyes fixed on their feet. After
successfully lodging such trespassers
or stopping in time to save them from
injury, my friend good-naturedly sings
out: Heads up, friend!'
Few take offense at this cheerful
admonition, and, as rule, they lift
their heads, square their shoulders
and briskly take an alert way across
the street and out OF danger"

POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Among the big costs of running a
political campaign nowadays is the
political advertising bill. One some
times hears this spoken of as an
abuse a needles tax on candidates
and parties. Yet no method Of con.
Quoting a campaign was ever one
.tenth so efficient.
A political rally costs a good deal
of money. Yet the audience consists
mostly Of supporters of the party
that holds the rally. Few votes are
changed, because opponents are not
present. 1t is expensive for results
attained.
There Is little politics in a news.
paper subscription list or news stand
sales. People of all parties read the
appeals md arguments of candidates
and con- nittees, when inserted as
advertising A moderate sized adver-
tisemenS would not cost. nearly as
much az, holding a rally, yet 1t would
reach many more doubtful or oppos-
ing voters.
It Is not enough nowadays to open
public hall and set speakers going.
A lot of printers ink must be used
in any case for posters. Unless a
brass band is hired to attract atten,
ton and remind people of the event
there will be no crowd The whole
thing is a laborious and costly meth
cd of securing a small result.
OF course to conduct thoroughly a
campaign OF newspaper ADVERTISING
costs good deal of money. There
Is too much of disposition to assess
this cost on candidates. When politi
cal parties behave decently and show
some patriotism and common sense
they find plenty of enthusiastic sup
porters who will contribute to heir
their ideas prevail. In this way the
expense OF campaigns Of newspaper
education can easily be met, The
unfortunate tendency to require can
didates to provide a "barl" of theil
own is one of the evils OF our times
Yhichs this paper will discuss in an
lother Srticle.

TONGUES That XIII,

The tongues Of some animals are
their weapons of defense. or very dan
gerous instruments. A lion could
speedily kill man by merely licking
him with his tongue. The tongues Of
all the members Of the cat family are
covered with curious recurring spines,
formed Of tough cartilage. In the com.
mon domestic cat these spines are
very small. but are sufficiently we'll de-
veloped to give the tongue feeling Of
roughness. In the fiercest animals.
such as the lion or tiger, these spines
are frequently found projecting up for
an eighth of an inch or more, with
very sharp points, or edges. While
the mouth is relaxed the tongue is
soft and smooth. but when the animal
Is excited the spines become rigid.

WAR AGAINST ,LLlrsRAcY

Nearly every state has some pecu.
liar illiteracy problem of its own.
Many OF the older sections pridIng
themselves on pure native stock are
now oyerrun with non-English speak.
ing immigrants. The South has its
negroes and mountain whites.
North Carolina has been doing par,
ticularly good work the past year in
63S moonlight schools, conducted in
so counties. 1t has set a good exam
pie Other states are also active
The Industrial cities have long had
their night schools. But the volume
of illiteracy is not yet appreciably
reduced.
In times of world strain, the peril
Of large non-English speaking pop
ulation is obvious. The man who
gets his notions from his foreign Ian
guage paper, and orators of his own
alien race, is not apt to acquire the
American view point.
Public and private agencies IN the
larger cities have been fairly dill
gent in efforts to reach these people
1t Is in the country that illiteracy
fiourishes. The local community is
usually too poor to establish night
schools. The state throws off respon'
sibility after school age has passed.
The most hopeless cases are not
the immigrants. These are people
Of initiative and stamina, and their
children at least will read and write
our tongue. The discouraging cases
are decadent native stock, in rural
communities with incomplete school
facilities. These hand down tradi'
ton of shiftless failure and incom-
petence. The children are more in
terested' in breaking the game laws
than in learning arithmetic.
State and local community should
combine to provide night schools.
But these are OF little value unless
these grownup children are ambitious

Watermelon Time.
BY James Whitcomb Riley

Old wortermelon time Is acomin'
round again,
And they amt no man alvin any
tickleder'n me,
Fer the way banker after worter-
melons Is a sin
Which Is the why and warefore, as
you can plainly see.
Oh! it's IN the sandy soil wortermel-
ons does the best,
And it's thare they'll lay and waller
in the sunshine and the dew
Tel they wear all the green streaks
clean off their breast;
And you bet I amt afndin' any fault
with them; are you?
They amt no better thing in the
vegetable line;
And they don't need much tendin' as
ev'ry farmer knows;
And when they're ripe and ready fer
to pluck from the vine.
want to say to you they're the best
fruit that grows.
You don't want no pumpkins nigh
your wortermelon vines
Cause, some way another, they'll Spite
your melons shore;-
Ice seen 'em taste like pumpkins,
from the core to the rines,
Which may be a fact you have heerd
Of before.
But your melons that's raised right
and tended to with care,
You can walk around amongst EN-
with parents pride and Joy,
And thump them on the heads with
as fatherly air
As eff each one of them was your own
little girl err boy.
Joy in my hart Jest to hear that
rippin' sound
When you split one down the back
and jolt the halves in two,
And the friends you love the best Is
gathered all round.
ANA you says unto your sweetheart,
ooh. here's the core fer you!"
And I like to slice 'em up in big
pieces fer 'em all,
Especially the children, and watch
their high delight
As one by one the rines with their
pink notches falls,
And they holler fer some more. with
unquenched appetite.
Boys take to it natchurl, and like
to see 'em eat
A slice of wortermelon's like
French harp in their hands,
And when they saw" 1t through
their mouth, SIGH music can't be
beat
Cause it's music both the sperit and
the stummick understands.
Oh! they's more in wortermelons than
the purity colored meat,
And the overfowin sweetness of the
worter squshed betwixt
The upard and the downward motions
OF feller's teeth
And it's the taste OF ripe old age and
Juicy childhood mixed.
Fer | never taste a melon but my
thoughts flies away
10 the summertime of youth; and
again I see the dawn,
And the fadin' afternoon of the long
summer day
And the dusk and the dew afallin',
and the night acomin on.
And thare's the corn around us, and
the lispin' Leaves and trees,
And the stars apeekin down on us
as still as silver mice,
And us boys in the wortermelons on
our hands and knees.
And the new moon hangin' DER us
like a yeller cored slice.
Oh! it's wortermelon time acomin'
round again,
And they amt no man alvin any
tickleder'n me-
Fer the way banker after worter-
melons is sin
, Which Is the why and wherefore as
you can plainly see.
