Speaking of Voices.
[ In a recent address before a south
ern audience, Miss Meta Class, Ph.
I), cl' Columbia University, professor
I in that great school, and sister of our
friend Carter (.'lass, made the follow
ing1 remarks that 1 wish to pass on
to as many ^outh Carolinians as
possible :
"Whenever the question of speech
ci me up among Southerners we are
apt to hear, .. nd to say,* that we would
la'whor drop g's than to double them,,
that we would not for anything call
our parents father-r-r and mother-r,
and that we seriously object to thej
hard unpleasant quality of the Yankee]
voice, and by Yankee we are apt to
me..n ad the parts of the country
thai do not share our speech pecul-i
iar.atit Having thus delivered our-]
sehi.-, wo seem content to cultivate'
oa. own, (hough dilferent, delects in'
as. ured virtue. It is irue that the >
pitched high, ;;nd easily grows high
er untu-r excitement until no one buii
a> star soprano could take the tonei
with beauty. It is true that as
gioup wt xail i:: enunciation generally:
~nd thai the e!"ect is apto to be mud- 1
dy rather than limpid and liquni, as
we should like to believe. Each ono
of us longs to see herself as
wlco rid:::.tem Lalagen
duivo loqueniem
but 1 f<?ar that Horace's keen ear
would not always so hear us. 1 should]
greatly like to see a required course,
credited for the degree, in speech,
taught by some one who knows how i
charming a southern yoici may be,]
and h;.w the irtfe quality oi' it vowels
and its clear enunciation may but add:
mci : charm."
I need not attmopt to a<id any thing;
Miss Class's remarks carry their own
power to compel attention.
Q: Is it ever permissible to say
'?Whom do you think I am"; if so, un
der "what conditons? L. M. J.
A. Under no conditons. Analyze
your sentence carefully, and you will
discover that "who I am" is an in
direct question serving as the direct
object of the verb "do think". The
pronoun "who" takes its case from
its function within the clause, and is,
therefore, nominative.
May I cAll attention to two mistakes
in your own question? You should
have used a comma before the quota
tion; and, since the quoted sentence is
intert ogative, a question mark should
hnvo been used within the quotation
mar... I. D.
A pprcciated.
Last week we made a special ap
peal to those of our subscribers who
are behind with their subscription
accounts, to help us out, for we have
some urgent obligations t^o moot, and
a number of them responded very
readily. We appreciate this. We al
so added some new paid in advance
sul . c. :bers last week. We want The
Messenger in every home in Kershaw
<oi:)ty. It will be an advantage to
every family and will bo a help to u.v
We hope that many more of our sub
1 scribers will come in within the next
ow days and let us have the amount
