Speak- ing^ofcthe virtues-of thejiew.departure ot the new course, Mb. Charles K. Taylor, recommends the aboiition of jrne teaching of English grammar In the^ public^sehoola He says. â- ":â-  "In place of grammar I would sub- ""'•'8trlute~ir course-in the reading of good .literature, which would develop the " moral character as well as have edu- cational value." ..... The value of "the-reading of good literature" cannot be overestimated, both as a means of developing "good moral character" and good literary tasteâ€"but as a substitute for gram- mar, the foundation upon which the II language and therefore its literature .'.-:â-  Is builtâ€"there is room there to doubt : the wisdom of the Character "Develop- 7^7 merit course. According to the results of a simple teat in grammar given a year ago by the Latin department of the Evanston -----Academy-to-studentS-desirlng to-enter toe course in beginning Latin, the,. â- ~r~ teaching of grammar has already been . discontinued in many grade schools. In,that test, if our memory serves us well, about two-thirds of the hundred girls and boys who" took it, were un- able to discover the subject of the sen- fence given, the wildest guesses bear- ing witness to their utter ignorance 7;~bTfne~funcCIdn of the various parts of ;; t~T|peeeh and of the elements of a sen- ;; tence. This experience in the Latin depart- ment of the Academy 1b, we are per- suaded, not the exception that proves H-^tpe-FUIe-of general excellent e in -In-. -- atructlon in grammar.

The turf had taken good hold and the lies were not bad at all. The greens are large, well formed and with varying Hnes. There are a great many terraced ones, but the terraces are not- high and can be easily run. As a rule I am much opposed to terraced greens, but when they are large they make a very good golf test; I wonder, how- ever, whether they will hold the well- calculated long shot in summer when^ 'r the ground is dry.
