wrote one of the most beautiful
sonnets in all literature upon that
work of genius.
The Anglo-SaNon words OF our
language are the strongest and
most eloquent as well as the short
est. Note in the Bible how by Tar
the greatest number of words are
of one syllable. Bunyan's Pill
grim's Progress will disclose the
same fact. Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address contains seventy per cent
words Of one syllable, twenty per
cent, words Of two syllables, and
only ten per cent OF three and
four syllables.
But the Bible is not to be
studied for its language alone. As
we said, it is the sublimest utter
ance of Man in any tongue, and
cannot but enrich his knowledge,
improve and elevate his character,
and strengthen his belief in his
Creator. This, too, in its literary
aspect alone. We do not touch,
of course, upon its divine bearing
in an editorial upon its value as
literature.

BIBLE AS LITERATURE

In the interview with Mrs. W.
]. Morton, published III Friday
Gazette, we noted with much III
terest, her comments on the Bible
as literature. We are heartily III
accord with the sentiment OF the
Harvard professor quoted by her,
who said, Il believe a knowledge
of the Bible without a college
course is more valuable than col
legc course without the Bible.
We think it beyond question that
the Old and New Testaments, as
translated by Wicliffe, Tyndale
and Coverdale, are the subllmest
expressions Of human and divine
relationship in any language. we
mention Wicliffe, because his
translation was the first, made III
the fourteenth century. Tyndale
and Coverdale came after, and
doubtless used Wicliffe's transla-
ton as a basis. The commission
of learned divines appointed BY
James to revise and retranslate
the existing text, luckily were too
busy or too lazy to meddle with
the inspired work OF their pre-
decessors.
The fourteenth, fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries saw the Eng
fish language at its apogee. 1t
was the language OF a people than
which no more vigorous or ag-
gressive ever strove to give eN-
preston to their national con-
Sciousncss. Most OF the words
were OF Anglo-Saxon origin, in
ternlingled with the forccful Nor
man French. Sometimes a whole
sentence was compressed into a
single syllable with dynamic
power. Read the greatest mas
tiers Of English OF any century
and you will lind their language
modelled on the Book OF Books.
The greatest orators have been
those Of the closest familiarity
with this inspired work.
Ranking the English Bible as
first and foremost OF the literary
expressions OF the human mind,
Shakespeare would rank second.
His English was born OF the Bible
and he was doubtless familiar
with the 1yndale and Coverdaie
TRANSACTIONS. We know OF but
one other work that is so pure
a well OF the language that
breathed the life OF our heroic an
cestry-the Morte d Arthur by
Sir Thomas Mallory. The great
est names in English literature be-
long to this same period, when
the language was in its creative
stage, and before the later Latin
and other streams had mingled
with it and modified and sottened
it. Keats, upon first reading
>Chapman's Homer rolled on the

The district can AFFORD modern up to date. fniy
cqipped building With eyery attention 10 light and
Ventilation given school q today
and such building can command . staff Of
teachers who win be especially fitted for the work
In hand and thus the rural pupil IS going to have
all, the advantages Of a city school both In
surroundings and instruction. With the children
Of the district assembled under one roof instead of
half dozen or more, there will be enough pupils
to keep all grades in their separate orders and each
child will receive the proper study out line suitable
for one Of his years.
There will be probably nothing to gain in the
way Of eliminating expense, for It will no doubt
cost as much to keep one large school with the
required teaching staff, as half dozen of the
smaller schools-but the results will be indescrib-
ably better and the improvement will show up so
instantly in the pupils that the parents OF the
district will be greatly pleased. The problem Of
getting the children to such centralized building
would have to be worked out In each district,
mainly depending upon road conditions. Improved
roads make such 4 building accessible without
difficulty. but there may be muddy roads that are
very difficult in the winter. The school bus solves
the problem in most districts. Some districts can
use motor bus, but others must employ team.
The Watson people have taken a long step in
bringing the question before the people of the
district. and, little thought on the part of the
residents Of Grant District will place tremendous
amount of favorable sympathy behind the PROPOSE
ton. II Grant District leads Off in this matter
without doubt other county districts will follow.
