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. I'.y (lie
< oar .alone wo arr taught lo avoid
. "Ix.oks is ;" but wi ther WO should
suv ..(mr of the hooks arr on til ta
.blt),'" can hardly he rx pl.ii ned witll
t)iit>sonic knowledge (,f thc rules of
grammar. So (be proper forms of
thc personal pronouns. "I" and me
us and wo" cannot he nicely dis
.fcriminatcd without tho assistance
of grammar.
.Lramnuir, to my mind, is a most
'important branch of study, and
.should be more thoroughly taught
>by.the teachers of this County. If
Tor no other reason, if should he
.taught io lix tho minds of the pupils

The Work Before tis.
Tho submission of tho prohibi
tions statute, to tho qunliilcd voters
ot Lamons County for ratification,
demands complet? organization,
and tin.rough work. 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.
