SHALL THE GRASINfARs GO?

Walter Guest Kellogg, a member of
the board of regents of the University
of New York. in an article contrib
uted to the current issue OF the North
American Review, urges the abolition
OF grammars from the public schools.
There are just grounds of complaint
against the grammatical text books in
use and the manner of their use. But
it is doubtful that the elimination of
the systematic study of the language
can be justified. "a
Correct use of the English tongue
comes to those whose constant asso-
Citations are with persons who speak
correctly. But when the individual
who has acquired the knowledge of
grammar from association comes to
write his thoughts and reaches a point
where he is in doubt regarding the
proper manner of expressing himself
he has nothing upon which to fall
back.
The greatest need in connection
with the study OF grammar is revi-
sion of the text books in use. They
contain much that is useless and
should be eliminated. An instance is
found in the case of nouns. This idea
| is borrowed from the language of the
Romans and Greeks. in which nouns
have different endings to express diff
ferent relations to the sentence. There
| is no such thing in our language. The
only change in form we make is in
expressing possession and then the
noun becomes, properly speaking. an
adjective, since it is used to qualify
another noun.
What our grammars need is sim
plification and not uprooting. Also a
revision in method OF teaching might
be found beneficial. Few teachers
have sufficient initiative to teach
grammar properly and those who have
this are not permitted TO exercise il
under our existing system of educa-
! ton.

the appreciation, the mother of ail-the

of the world revolves.
A man and a weman-they maze UP

And what a wealth OF helpfuiness a
man can bring to a woman and. in
turn, woman to man. A man with
his muscled strength woman with
her believing power-neitheF can ap-
preciate the other too much.
All things go to make UP a man and

is thoughtfulness on the part of one
for the other-and then, in turn.
