SAME WORDS DIFFER
 IN TWO COUNTRIES
CNorth Amorican Reviewl


 One class of Americanisms includes those English words which are used in America in a different sense than in England. "Maize, or Indian corn, throughout the United States is called simply corn; in England the term corn is applied generically to wheat, barley and other small grains. For this the Americans use the term grain
 Biscuit" is another word which is differently used in the two countries; in England a biscuit is a kind of un- raised bread; formed into flat cakes and baked hard; this is called a cracker in the United States-a word which may have come from Yorkshire. Biscuit in the American sense means a small cake of bread. raised and short ened, or made light and fluffy with soda or baking powder
 A billion" in American means thousand millions; in England. a mil lion millions. Fixed to an American, usually means '''repaired": to an Eng 1 lishman. "fastenedv or attached 1 The list of this class of American | isms would be a long one. There are a great nHmber of common words, such as punt smart" clever" "cun- ming ''track. 'geyser," stud, shop chemist ice" public school" etc, which have different meanings on two | sides of the ocean. Some of these are | the result of gradual development; the slow acretion of secondary meanings 1 finally produces a word of quite diff l ferent sense from that with which it ! began. The natural tendency of set tiers in a strange country to apply all ready familiar names and terms to new i objects in Nature. 10 new phenomena, < etc, leads to a confusion in the mean ing of such names: the outcome of this i practice is that the same word is used in America and Great Britain for different things-different trees. plants. animals, fruit. etc.
 In like manner the names of many ! domestic articles have become con- 1 fused. Whenever new object needed l a name. the American of the early Aays usually tried to find a genuine English word to serve the purpose.

tions and answers. instruction books, etc. will be furnished the students for this educational course.
 Mr. smith says. Tn our 25 years of tractor experience, We find that farm CTS who might use tractor on their farms often ask if they could learn to operate it. when they could find the answer in the fact that already they have learned 10 operate the grain bind CT, the stationary gas engine and the automobile. The tractor presents no greater problems of operation and there is no reason why the average farmer should not overcome them by the right kind of study and observa- - ton. This is one purpose of the trac- tor service school. More practical knowledge can be gained by the farmer and mechanic in a few days study at a school than in months otherwise"
