Too Mm h Importance Cannot Ito At tached to HMS llntiicli. English gra ni mar has long been ono of tlu> most difllcult Bubjerts for ilic teacher In the one-teacher rural school to manage successfully. Or dinarily our teachers begin language lessons in thc primary or intermedi ate grades and usually gel fair re sults, imt ur lieu it comes to leaching ami instilling tim great principles of iii?- language in tho higher interme diate and in the lower high school grades our country schools are ton often almos; failures. English gram mar is ll'lllj a progressive .-.indy, and every principle passed over must lie remembered and pul into practical application in nearly every succeed ing recitation. No teacher who neg lects to give lier pupils continual drill on thal part ol' the subject al ready passed over eau gel results thal are permanent ..nd practical. Slie must ever lui ve for her motto: "llevjew, exercise; review again; more exercise." She should never abandon this method until Ibo great principles that underlie this import an) subject ha vc become so grounded in her pupils' minds thal they can-J no) be forgotten. When these have become thoroughly known to tho student, he should liol be allowed lo gel the idea, as is often I he case, thal lie know- it all. and the subject he dropped and forgotten. Our teach ers loo ol'ien commit a serions mis lake b> allowing this to be done. The old uni good systems of parsing and analysis of thc sentence should never be allowed to fall Into disrepute. We sometimes think that one of Ibo reasons our pupils do not do well in Kngiish grammar is because 01 the fuel that in our rush foi1 new ideas and niel hods, we have strayed too far from those of half a century or more ago; that we no longer require Mic thorough and complete parsing of every word in tin- sentence; and that ?he analysis of the sentence has become largely superficial. lt is a settled fact that no pupil or teacher can know this interest i;-..*; subject until he or sim is capable of analyz ing the sentence, and ol' parsing every word in it. Why, then, should we ever allow ?hese good old-time methods to lie replaced by some vis ionary idea of one who is striving for mitotic! v '? One thing that makes the subject dittlenli to teach is a difference in terminology used by authors of English grammars. This causes, to tim ordinary student, as inm h confusion as all the idioms of i he language together. There is now, however, some effort being made to standardize all grammars in this respect; and already some au thors have made efforts lo put the recommendations made hy the .Na tional Committee on Nomenclature into effect. All grammars should call the same thing by the same nam.'. There is no excuse foi' OIK to speak of tlie attribute complement and for another to call the same Hiing subject complement. This causes t ,ie voling mimi to become confused, and the pupil soon gets the idea that it is no use to try to learn a subject that presents so many con fusions. No oilier subject is ol' more value to a student's after life than is a thorough Knowledge of English grammar, The teacher should bo a master of thc subject, and should require her students to use at all times correct Kngiish in their con versation. The teachers of our county can do nothing better than to make ,i special effort to do more and b.-ttir work in this all-impoi tani subject that has for so long been somewhat neglected, especially in our country schools.

The heav iest stoi in i li?t veterans of the Ash ing squadron state they have ever ex perienced ai sea swept down unher alded out ol' the northeast upon scores of vessels <>i th?* Charleston mosquito Meet, fishing this morning in a scattered cordon extending tor some mips north and south ol' *!.. Charleston light vessel. Rig negro seamen in torn sou westers were t li is afternoon momentarily tumbling out ai their local landings and reporting the loss in men ned boats as great, .lust what the blow accomplished in i lie way of destruction cannot be told until all have come to port and the survivors counted, but I hose who have already come lo shore state that lise or six boals have been sighted bottom up between here and the light \essei. and estimate the loss at a number greater Iban this. The loss in human life so far indicated is in Hie neighborhood ol' a dozen, according to the excited statements ol' the surviving colored fishermen. Tbc- terrille bailie that tin- men in the little sail boals have had willi the elements to-day bas not permit ted time in which to identify wreck age bul I lie following losses appear: The "Sarah" ol' Charleston, crew of four; boat lost with Peter Creon, captain, and .lames Gibbs, the "Pip py Snipe" of Charleston, boat lost with .lim Snipe, captain, and his son, and a Mount Pleasant craft, Alli*1 Huggins. ca? iain "one man saved.I About the landings ol' the mosqui ! to Meet, especially at the fool of Mar ket street, the excitement was ter ! rifle. The men poured in with re ports of the severity of the fight with wind and waves, soaked to the skin and in many Instances badly bruised. Wives of the men not accounted for added to the general uproar thai wel comed tin? arrival of each new boat, j With manj of the arrivals, rescued I men came in and it is evident that I some courageous work bad been per j formed to-day by the surviving crows (between the city and her light vos I sol. The stol'} of the storm as narrated by Henry Lewis, captain and owner jot' ibo "Tillie Holmes.'' and Hen My ers, captain of the P. M. Ketcham, is brief and to the point. The Holmes I was one ol" 20 vessels grouped more closely about the light vessel than the myriad of their fellows. The storm smote them as they rode at anchor about a half mile this side the lightship. The men estimate that the wind blew at the rate of from (in to 70 miles an hour. This estimate does not appear at all im possible in view of the fact thal the wind was close to f>0 miles an hour at ('barleston during the forenoon. The wind came unheralded, and the little vessels fought their way in as best they could, driving before tho storm, the larger helping the smaller and weaker whenever possible. Many of ibo smaller vessels appear to have refused assistance, and confided in their own strength, only to swamp | before making the destination. The feat of the little vessel "Ern estine" of Charleston, Dick Young, captain, seems to have excited the admiration of all the fishermen along the water front. Ono of the small est vessels of the Meet, the Ernestine brought in eight mon. just twlce?the number that she carried out ibis morning, according to a survivor of the Snipe, who was among those to roach port in her.
