Kinard of Winthrop College Will. Be Offered 'the Board for Adoption for Use In Public Sdhools. The following criticism of Dr. Kin. ard's book was printed in the State, Dr. Kinard is a Newberrian and hi book has met with favor by teaclierF who have reviewed it. If the pupils now in our public and private schools do not, learn the grain Imar of their language and somnething about writing and speaking it easily and correctly it will not be the fault of the book-makers. In an era dis tinguislhed by its masterly disregard of authority of every sort and for ite egregiously bad English, when even the graduates of our universities can not write correctly and sinewy idiom, we witness the phenomenon of a flood of books designed to teach the correct use of our language. It is to be ques tioned wlhethier this is mere coinci dence, whether the' books are coming as a response to the demand that the users of English be held to stricter responsibility, or whether there is any relation between the slip-shod writing of the day and the multiplicity of guides. It may be, after all, that the confusion in th'e present usage of writing and speaking English may be due to the multitude of counselors, which is proverbially held to be per ilous. But that there are being published many excellent guides to the writing and speaking of our language there 'can-be no doubt. One of these is thig little ''English Grammar for Bb ginners." The preface says, "it is a real grammar fQr beginners''-but the order of the words in this short sentence leaves' the reader in doubt as to its meaning. Is it a ''real gram mar,'' or is it for ''real beginners?' What is meant seems to be that it is a grammar really for beginners. The following ''points'' are especially no ted: ''[t is a real grammar for begin Mers. ''It. contains an unusually large number of illustrative sentences. ''By arranging the illustrative sen tences in parallel columns, and in the general development of each sub ject, the author has made an effective use of the inductive method. "In complex and compound sen tences a helpful combination of anal ysis and short parsing" (is 'short parsing' good English? Does not the author mean the parsing of short sentences or phrases; and should he not say so?) "is made by the use of a system of simple diagraming." The principal value of th grammar is, we think, its very admirable meth od, which is thoroughly practicable and yet is designed to gain and hold the attention of the pupil. The lan guage 'is taught as an harmonious whole from the very beginning, whieb is (lie proper way. For instance, on the very first page the pupil is given some insight into the nature of the unit of English speech, the sentence a thing that some of our ''popular" -writers have difficulty in recognizing. This practical method is maintained throughout, and makes the book one of time most valuable little text-books on the subject that we have seen. A very useful chapter is added on the use of ''shall'' and ''will,'' and ''should'' and ''old' Readers of the daily papers will recall the re e ent discussion of thme error of Presi dent Roosevelt in the use of ''will' for ''shmil'' making three or fomi blunders in the course of a short let ter. This is one of 'thme crosses of English idiom, and should be studied as soon as possible. The real, dis tinction between ''shall'' and ''will' -practically the same as that betweer ''should'' and ''would'' is not of ape. cial difficulty, but it is difficult tc blend precept and example in off-hand speech. The illustrations given make the different usage very clear.. In typography and in arrangement, not less than in subject Anatter aind -the tremendous wvealth of apt illustra tion, the book is excellent. The Rute of Three. Selected.

Who is able to mend both her hus band's clothes and his ways. Who has learned the paradox that to have joy one must give it. Who canl tell the difference be tween her first child and a genius. Who most admires those eyes which belong to a man who understands her. Wio acknow,Qedges the allowance made her by her husband by making allowance for him. Who 'appreciates that the largest. room in any house is that left for self improvement. W;ho manages to keep not only her house and her temper, but her ser vants and her figure, as well. Who realizes that two husbands of twenty-five years each are not neces sarily as good as one of fifty. Who can distinguish between the laugh of aiusement and the one meant. to show off a dimple. Who gets off a trolley.-car the right way-though she runs the risk of be ing arrested as a man in disguise. No Kowtowing For Him. Judge. They tell this one on former Gov. George Hoadly, of Ohio: Once upon a time, in the midst of a campaign, Mr. Hoadly was to deliver a speech at a little town in the great an( glorious Buckeye state. When he reached the one hotel the town boast ed lie walked up to the register and wrote his name. The proprietor-head porter-steward--head- waiter depot runner was behind the desk in his sleeves, his hat on the back of his head, and a cigar stump held between his teeth. When the visitor had put down his John Hancock, the factotum turned the register around, read with out the flicker of an eyelid the name there written, wrote ''10'' beside it with a lead pencil, and said: ''You kin jest take yCr grip right up that stairway there an' back down the hall clean to th' end. Yer room's right on th' left hand side of th'. hall, in th' corner-number 10.' With considerable astonishment and not a little injured dignity Ohio's chief executive pointed to his name, smiled faintly, and said: "I am George Hoadly." ''Yep; I notice,'' said the rustic without turning a hair. ''An' yer room's right there at th' end of th' hall-number 10. Can't miss it.'' With more hauteur, and almost quivering with outraged importance the guest said impressively: "I am George Hoadly, governor of the state of Ohio!'' Turning, then, with a look of exas perated impatience on his face, the hotel man exclaimed: "Well, what d'ye expect me t' do -kiss ye?'' Wood's Ever0ren Lawn Gi rass.
