Hattiesburg to notify the parents of
the other boys of their predicament,
saying that the lads would walk home,
and should be back in Hattiesburg by
Z o'clock. That hour came. and the
parents and neighbors of the missing
ones began to become anxious. They
waited expectantly for some time,
when rescue party, consisting of Al
E. Causey, Henry Foote and Messrs<
Clark, Pickett, Dickerson, Melton and
Russell, was organized.
At o'clock this morning, the party
saw big fire in the swamp some dis
lance from the city, and made them
selves known. The boys had wandered
about in the darkness for hours, and
deciding that it would be impossible to
get home in the night, agreed to camp
and stay there until daylight. They
had two MATCHES left, and these were
used in building big camp fire, which
resulted in their discovery

had in their degree the sense for log.
lcal for beautiful, and for emotional
expression. But it is particularly true
that language, the most fundamental
of social institutions has been en-
riched and strengthened and made
beautiful by the conscientious feel
ings for all these ends on the part of
the educated-the teachers and the
writer's of our history. 1t is our obli-
CATION, as it was theirs, to make the
best usage prevail.
But from the practical standpoint
attention to correct speech is quite
worth while. The young man who is
making his way, with his college edu.
cation and resource, is discounted if
his speech abounds in grammatical
errors. So the necktie and the col
lar are of little service as clothing.
Yet, in most circles, one who left
them off as superfluous, would appear
a crank or greenhorn. Quite as truly,
a sOiled collar and a greasy necktie
would not commend an acquaintance.
Ungrammatical speech may have the
same effect

Why Should Speech Be Dramatically Con- ect?
n. Bishop,
Professor and

1t is repeatedly stated that the
speech OF the supposedly educated
people today is not nearly SO free
from grammatical errors as was the
speech of the educated a generation
ago. There is truth in the statement
The explanation lies chiefly in two
conditions. In the first place, the
democratic movement in education
has resulted in turning out as college
graduates much larger proportion
of men and women who come from
the homes of the relatively illiterate.
Their habits of speech have been fixed
by their home associations. Careful,
correction of grammatical errors on
the part of the teachers will not SUI
flee in many cases, to overcome these
fixed habits. Moreover, school asso-
ciates, in larger proportion than ever
before, from grammar grades through
college, use the same ungrammatical
forms, and thus make an influence
tending to overcome the instruction
of the class room.
In the second place, the scientific
study of language has revealed the
fact that language itself is democratic.
That is to say, usage, not authority as
found in grammars and dictionaries, |
has controlled the development of !
speech forms So teachers of today, |

and are not so strict and earnest as
they once were in seeking to over
come habits of ungrammatical speech.
A young man, college graduate,
now teaching in one of our best high
schools, tells me that he considers
grammatical errors as of no conse-
quence. He justifies himself in this
heresy by asserting that language
serves its entire purpose in express
ing thought. Speech Astounding in
grammatical error, he says, is quite
as easily and clearly understood as is
the language that is dramatically
faultless. The particular contention
OF this young man, considered apart,
is not SO very far from true. Admit
of all teachers to seek to correct bad
grammar. In limiting the function of
language to mere conveyance of
sense, this young man revealed a very
narrow view of the service of speech,
as well as very inadequate concep-
ton of the values of life. Our speech
has developed into the fine instrument
it is through instincts far more pro-
found and complex than the sense for
the merely practical. These instincts
the unlettered have shared; they have
