first and last invasion of the Black
Death. During the last blow, people
called it "the plague" or "the great
plague" -
Among those who fed from the
Black Death were doctors, but many
doctors bravely stayed where they
were and treated the sick as well
as they could. Some of them ordered
homes to be fumigated, and that
probably helped.
Many doctors dressed themselves
in queer costumes. They wore long
gowns and good sized white gloves.
Their faces were covered with cloth.

The Black Death struck almost
every corner OF Europe, and took
the lives Of millions Of persons. In
those times public officers were less
careful about making exact death
records than they are today, but it
lis clear that some cities lost more

Others lost from one-fourth to one

For a time the life of a city almost
came to halt. Families would hide

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

@. My English class and I would
be grateful if you'd give us a
down-to-earth discussion Of the
split infinitive." was taught years
ago that the split infinitive is to
be avoided at all costs. But how
can one avoid the split in such
sentences as this: 1--WE expect to
more than double our attendance?
Mrs. S. E. L.
A. First of all, for the benefit of
all readers, let us see Just what is
meant by split infinitive." An in
flnitive is verb that usually is
preceded by to-" as: to go; to
ssEiye:; to sing; to dance. The word
ssto" Is called the sign Of the In
snitive. ~
nsNow then, when an adverb is in
serted between ito" and the verb,
the inf1nitive is said to have been
split. These are split inf1nitives:
tozquickly go; to I carefully fdrive;
tofsweetly/ sing; tofgayly/ dance.
The old prejudice against split
ting the inf1nitive has largely dis
appeared, and the split is no longer
regarded as improper dramatically.
This comment in Webster's New In
ternational is a good summation of
the concensus of the modern authori-
ties: ~The splitting has been widely
objected to, but it sometimes is
desirable or necessary, especially to
avert ambiguity"
In your sentence, Mrs. L., there
is no way to keep from splitting:
we expect toimore than double
our attendance" OF course, one
may avoid the split by rewording
the sentence, but it isn't necessary
In this case, for such expressions as
"to/more than double" have long
been good usage.
My suggestion to teachers is: Elk
plain carefully what is meant by
the term split infinitive. Illustrate
on the blackboard by means of the
stroke I, thus: to/clearly/ state: to-
slowlyzwalk.
But I should not give students
the impression that they should
never split the infinitive. Simply
explain that the splitting is quite
proper in constructions that might
otherwise be awkward or unclear.

by fleas which attack sick rats.
After the rats die, the f1eas may
fasten' themselves to other small
animals or to human beings.
Thanks to our public health
service and to other advances, the
bubonic plague has been kept from
gaining a foothold in Europe or the
New World for more than two cen
turtles.
