Few Slanq Phrases Last

The leniency with which some school
teachers look on the use of slang. as
reported IN various interviews, may
shock those Of an age to have secured
their idea of correct English from the
McGufTey series of readers. Ii is true
that the selections composing those
readers wer" of an era wherein the
lnnSIaGe Was ut variance with what is
heard today. 1t may have been s,ilted
but 1t did not corrupt the mind of the
pupil. In fact, many persons got
from the old fifth and sixth readers
their knowledge of good literature.
Their" was not Il word resembling
slang in the books.
1t is true that slang Is expressive.
That is why it is used. Yet much Of
IL quickly passes out of use because il
1t overworked. Few woyds suffer "A
like fate, though occasionally under
stress of circumstances word OF
