lLLITERATE USE 5000 WORDS
Persons Of Fair Education are SAID TO
Have 4 Vocabulary Ten Times
as Large.

The Chautauqua Magazine said o
few years ago: 'It is estimated that
an English farm hand has a vocabu.
larry limited to 300 words. An Ameri.
can workman who reads the newspa.
pers may command from 200 to 1000
words. Five thousand is a large mum.
Der, even for an educated reader or
speaker" This differs considerably
from the statement published in a re-
Gently compiled English encyclopedia,
which states that lit has been reck-
Oned that the agricultural labOrer uses
about 1900 words, but this is probably
an Overestimate. Intelligent artisans
have a vocabulary Of 1000 words, while
educated persons are familiar with, IL
they do not use, 5000 to 10000 words"
This is a step forward all along the
line, but it is a long distance from Dr.
Joseph Jacobs discoveries. In a re-
cent review, Doctor Jacobs said chat
the average well-educated American or
Englishman can control from 10000 to
$4,000 words. But given an individual
with a vocabulary Of 10000 primitive
words, it is a simple matter for him
to increase his stock of words by the
use of prefxes and sufiixes. From four
to six derivatives may be formed by
'he use of these from nearly every
primitive word. If proper names be
added to either Of these totals 10000
to 60,0OO), they might yield a total of
10000 to 10000 terms, says the New
York Times.
The foregoing facts seem to warrant
these general conclusions: Every we'll

tion win be able to define or to. under
