For the person who wishes to say or write the bizarre or unconventional things, it is perfectly legitimate for him to originate new woerds and figures of speech. But slang is used to express the grotesâ€" que and humorous and there are times when it is bad taste to use it," the lecturer added. "There is nothing to the statement that ‘slang expresses better one‘s feeling than correct Engâ€" lish.‘ Anything that can be expressed "Dumbell is such an expressive term it is too bad that it was not origiâ€" nated by some literary genius so that it would lze accepted as the best of English," declared Professor Thomas A. Knott, professor of English at the University of Iowa and a member of the summer session faculty of Northâ€" western university, in a lecture or "Slang" before the Northwestern stuâ€" dents. "I place no tabco upon slang; in fact I‘ am deeply interested in the study of it and use slang expressions frequently myself," continued Dr. Kncott. "It is interesting to see terms origingted, flourish and die. I believe that most of my colleagues in the uniâ€" versity will agree that slang should not be discarded or tabooed, but rathâ€" er that it should ibe n‘t‘ssrded'fmm an objective viewpoint and a scientific study made of it. _/ ? } . _ WORD SAYS KNOTT Professor of English at Towa Lectures on "Slang" at Northwestern â€" ‘â€" £‘The modern successor to the oldâ€" fashioned: picnic embodies all the adâ€" vantages with practically none of the disadvantages. ‘The family simply deâ€" cides at any timet to take its supper out of doors and, without any great aâ€"do or very special preparation, piles whatever would ‘ordinarily have been served at home into a basket and piles itself into the flivver and betakes itself to the nearest park or stretch cf open country.‘ No extra work, no waste, no indigestion, no confusion."

What is demanded of the inâ€" telligent person is that he shall be able to use correct English at tll‘ times and not be dependent upon slang.
