Thc Study of Grammar, There is a tendency now to shor ten the ti mr that was formerly giv on to tho study of Grammnrand tn introduce instead branches in tho natural sciences. The lader step ls certainly correct, hut the former is at least questionable. if, in (lie progress of knowledge i* bo found necessity to introduce new brunch es of study, it should not he done at the expense of excluding others equally as useful. S nur educators contend that il is not necessary to learn l>y rote the amount of technical matter or dinarily fourni in grammars. Thal persons who are accustomed to the best forms of tho languages do not need grammar teaching. That, ,lIt is an error to repeat at school what is learned at booie; und a still com moner mistake lo occupy school time with wliat is suro to hr learn ? ed in the groat school ol'thc world." Thoro arr a few persons who 3. uaving beard proper language spok en at homo, und who?linvlhg re.id ?.?tho; writing of the best English au . thors, might write and speak cor i^recily without gran ni mr teaching, but^not so tho general mass. I may br safely asserted that a la ur ma jority of pupils have not been accus >tommi to hear correct language spoken av home, nor can they bo -pvisiiadrd lo read at nil.

The prelimi nary stops have already boon taken, n permanent organization e?foet?d, and committees appointed. Ono word nt tho outsett whatever our Individual likes or dislikes, with reference to particular features of tho act or legislators who gave it to u~, thore must all bo held in obey nnee. It is impossible to frame a bill of this kind that will bo univer sally acceptable. We ure fro? to say, that certain features of thia net, aro different from what wo personally wished. Hut tho friend" of tho Home, of Religion! and other highest und best Interest of humanity eau all mako common cause, In an effort to freo Laurens County from the evils of the Liquor-traftlc. This net may be, and perhaps will be mod ified, at th!- next session of the Leg islature, Let us now ratify it, then tho defective points muy be elimi nated, and desirable ones incorpo rated. Rut if tnt temperance people cx pect this measure to pass, without their earne d, vigorous und constan! work, they are woftllly mistaken. No great enterprise evor succeeds without it. Every one should feel a personal Interest in the campaign, and work as if its success depended only and all together on bis or her efforts. Wo look to tho noble wo men of Laurens for their assistance in this cause. When the proud day downs, In which Prohibition is passed and effected, they will share largely in the credit, und more largely In tho satisfaction of hav ing contributed thereto. C. L.Flke.
