Dictionary Slavery

The fact IL that the highest l'nguai
intelligence today prcscrihcs no such
dictionary worship as that OF the petty
potentntes OF schoolroom and print
shop. The usage Of n people Is what
makes and anlmntes n language and
those words become n recognized part
of the language which are approved
by the leading writer's and speakers OF
the time. But these writer's. by habit
and education. are themselves prone
TO dictionary slavery. They hesitate
TO take w n new word aud dignity IL
with usnC. Therefore. when they
want new word which our dictionary
doesn't provide they go deliberately to
the French This takes the curse OF
the crime Of coIHing new word In
English!
Aside from the cheap and pcdantic
practice ~ lifting words from n for
eign language TO MI out the Cups In
our own. our language has today no
constant source Of rcplenIshment but
