A OItaoago man has discovered ald procilaims the World that the study of -English gribiafri has ndt produced attd canbot liroduco a correct , use of tb English lautgdago. He proves it by the rules of qoimou senso. The cor root use of language is taught when children are learniiIg to use it. The mistakes they hear and imitato before they are eight or nine years old abide witi them through life, or are uproot edl only3 by (lhe Inost persistent effort and self-watclilness. After bad hiabits ofspeech aro forined-children are act to learn1ing namlos And comlbi nations of arbitrary phrases, dotini ng, refining and hair-splittilng a lot of in.. coherent and meaningloss terms; parsing and analyzing to the utmost nicety 111011 the question whether ait adverbial phrase or a participal ad jectivo is the subject or objct of Roie verb on the other side of the page. The wholo has about as much practeal bearing upon reading and um11erstanid ing good inglish as the old school meni's question as to how many angel. can stand 11ponl the point of a needi has to the ability of a manat to resist cheating his neighbor or running away with his neighbor's wife. Then comes ''diagramnming" and other rigmarole, ftn crushing and destroying thC essen1ce of thle beautiful thoughit ot Inijestitm sentence in some great Eng. lish1 masterpieco. Parsing is a wastk of tie, both to teacher and pupil And the more analytical and precise i Is, the moro uslese and absurd it be comes. As a rule definitions are only combinations of words, and the man with the latest grammar simply gi ves the combination a now twist. They befog the pupil's mind and have as little influence upon the cOrTeCctniess Of his language as the deJfinitions i a dictionary of the stean-enigine and its pa1rtis have upon1 the success of a loco motive buitlder, or a boiler-maker in his bu3iness. This sub)ject was recently discussed by the teachers of St. Louis an11d all those who took part in the discussioni lavored the abolition of the preset tenching of gralmiar. They advocaled instruction in the hmnguage'and in the proper Ise of words, by IeIans of, col versat ion, pictures and'ot her mcthods, instead of* rules, definitions and analv sor which (10 not teach the use of ln gunge. One teacher said he wmited a iew mtclod of teaching the Engii.,h language in a common senise war 1111d another said that the granmuma r 'as now taught is more a curse t.h:n1k a blessinig. Gramniar at the best, is only hW techical science of' the language, ancd is worth the study onlv of those who make language t specialty. It it were not taught in the schools not one per soil inl i tlousald wonl voltVuntarily take it up. It would become like botiny or enl tomoogy-a i lh y, it pastiue or t pillrsuit for those whose taste aUd heisuir le t.helm' 'vo1) unt:. iHIv to its Study. But, as i colilmoln schok'l aind general study, it owlit to be bai ished. TLose people who do not. love and admiiire flowers arc destitu(e of omine oft the senses that give pleasure.
