GUM CHEWING
AND GRAMMAR

Gum chewing and shoddy English
go together, Professor Lewis Worth
ington Smith, head of the English de-
partment of Drake university, told
members of the English teachers sec

matter, but social matter" said Pro-
fessor Smith. II have a very strong

speech committed by the college stu
dents as home environment and child
hood companions.

every time they arise" he said. "If a
student says seems like smile will
go around the class. They all know
it is wrong and that / will say some
thing about it. Yet there are pupils
who attend my classes for three years
and still say seems like
Il cannot, therefore, expect the
high schools to eliminate errors when
/ fail. If you would reform the speech
OF your pupils you must reform the
schools.
Il believe we ought to have more
teaching Of formal grammar in the
schools.
Nor is it enough to depend upon
the reading Of good literature to form
correct habits Of speech. That is well
as far as it goes, but the students is
exposed to so much more shoddy Eng
lish in his everyday life that reading
alone will not suffice.
