BETTER ENGLISH THE GOAL

School children who struggle in their
grammar lessons with such terrifying
octupi as “attrhutive complement,”
predicate adjective.” “anticipatory verb”
and othere qually mystifying specimens
of grammar terminology should be glad
to learn that, according to a recent
writer on the subject, “English gram¬
mar, as it is now taught, should be
dropped entirely from our schools.”
Against the formal teaching of gram¬
mar as a “thing of laws, rules ordin¬
ances, by-laws and exceptions; an un¬
scientific, illogical, inflexible dictum,
which forces children to decline nouns
in cases which do not exist, to conju¬
gate verbs in tenses, moods and voices
which long since have ceased to bo,
and to make adjectives agree wit*
nouns, when agreement is neither
necessary nor possible”—against all
this emphasizing of the letter and kill-

I used at least six eggs in every cake.
She wouldn’t believe I used only
two—until I showed her exactly

ing but Royal.” Mrs. G. S.

We cannot afford to be less diligent
in our efforts to correct slovenly speech
habits and to preserve the purity and

is written so much of the world’s best
literature, and which is the most wide¬
ly used tongue in the world. If it is
our intention to preserve the English
language, and not merely pad a school
curriculum, it should be impressed up¬
on the pupil that cultural and com¬
mercial opportunity depends in a great
part on one’s knowledge of his mother
tongue and on a desire to use this
knowledge to the best of his ability.
Slovenly speech, the pupil should be
made to understand, is as likely to

Slovenly appearance in the matter of
