THE STUDY OP ORAMH Ul.
t What Period in a Child’s Kdu
cation Should the Study of
Grammar Be Begun, and What
Is the Best Method of Begin
ning It? By Miss Floe*
Boyce before the Teachers
Association Jan. 22, 1901.
A child is the most progressive of
eings and grammar the most pro
resaive of studies. To my mind
ho age of the child has little to do
ith it, but trlining in the lower
rades has everything with it. We
nd in nearly every ungraded school
hildren advanced in some studies
nd lagging far behind in others
ound in my school this year a child
•ho reads well in the Fourth Read
r, is in Elementary Geography and
rho ia good oral apeller but who has
ever been taught anything in Lang-
age, and knows absolutely nothing
if numbers. Now it would be
tardonable folly to put that child to
rork on Technical Grammar. Edu
iaiion, to reallv educate, must begin
it the bottom of every subject, and
he Language work neglected before
sannot be skipped over if we would
make the study a success later on
Grammar is the science of the sen
tence but the senotenoe is made up
of words, and their formation must
be studied first. I saw somewhere
ibis thought and it impressed me,
The sentence is a machine for
.hought-giving; it is made up ot
tarts needful for its successful use
just, as a sewing machine or typewrit-
:r. We .would not think of studying
ibout the machine in a book if we
tad one by us to examine the object
tself. To thereby understand it, we
itust take it apart and study the pie
ces separately, learn how and of
what they are made and their re-
peetive uses m the work to be au-
omplished. -
Words are the pieces of this ma
bine for thought-exprecsion. .The
upil must know how to spell and
rite them, and, by the wav, written
pellmg is one of the first great aids

know the abbreviations in common
use, how to use Intelligently capital
letters, periods, interrogation points
and the possessive sign. He should
be drilled in the use of singular anl
plural forms of verbs and to use am

These things must precede teehni
cal grammar and the scientific study
of the sentenbe with the textbook as
help. Right here there are quick
sands. Let us avoid them. The stdy
of our language is dry to the average
child unless we take varied measures
to make It otherwise. If vexed with
umberless rules and their suicidal
exceptions Or bewildered by disouss-
loiis they cannot understand they’ll
hate it. aud I don’t blame them, we
would, too. Create beforehand
neoessity for every rule, definition or
caution by giving explanations ol
and hints for the for the study of the
following lesson and show in what
way the knowledge To be gained eau
be practically used. Exercises, and
numerous ones bearing on the sub
ject, must be given to quicken
thought aud tax invention.
The diagram, j tdicioualy used, is
the most attractive and helpful de
vice I have found for the pupils, par
ticularly those of Reed & Kellogg
which we now use. Iu them eyery
line has its specific use and shows at
glance the relations of every word
and division of the sentence. It is
wonderful how these pictures of an
alysia impress the right construction
of the sentence and at the same time
so please the children with mechani
cal work. However, they are only
the means to an end and this should
be ever kept in miud.
In teaohing Grammar, absolute ac
curacy is needful, and exercises of
the neatest and most correot style
should be insisted upon. Most im
portant and effective of all rolea for
us is example. We, the educators
of the future men and women should
make uf orrselves fit exemplars of
the rules we teach. The teacher of
English should be a student of Eng
lish, pot only as a literature but as
language.
We cannot teach this year by last
year’s schedule and although wo,
doubtless, all have found that “Un
easy lie the heads of all who rule
his, most of all, whose kingdom is
school,” yet no other profession
seems to me is blessed with such
height ot ideals as is ours. To the
devoted teacher there is always some
thing beyond, something to strive
for, something to gain and we find
no other study more inexhaustible in
both matter and method than that of
our mother-tongue.

WfiKN THE CHILD-PLAYS HOOKY.'
Children sometimes pretend to be
ill to escape going to school. Feign
ing illness to escape duty is called
the army malingering and is alway
punished when detected. A child
who habitually complains ot head
ache just before school time should
be put on a 6ofa in a darkened room
not permitted to read, not look
pictures, and have a hot water ba
placed at his leet. If the ailment
real this is the best treatment for the
early stages; if it feigned the silence
and solitude soon become so irksome
that the culprit is glad to do in
thing to escape from them. Otlur
affected pains should be treated as if
they were real, and it should be dis-
t'nelly understood in the family that
the child who is too ill to go to
s ;hool and to learn his lessons, is too
ill to be out of bed. If a child play
truant the lessons he loses should be
made up at home in his play time,
