Mr, Gardner, In his paper on Gram- anar. qnoted the following from Kicb- ard Grant White: "The rerb needs not, and generally does not, agree with ita tominstlfe case lit nmnber and person. Pronouns do not agree with their antecedent fionna in person, num ber and gender. Active verbs do not govern the odjectlvo case, or any other. Prepoditlons do not govern the objective case, or any other. One •erb does not govern another In the Infinitive mood.** Without stopping to consider the trhtb or falsity of the •boor propoaftfMiet Sr. & eonclmtert asfoftows; Inqr.k h nonsense to talk about one word governing another Let me ask you to thoughtfully con sider the following questions: Do the properties of person, number, gender, ease, really belong to nouns In the "English language as!'we have been taught ? Do pronouns really take the place of nouns, as we have been taught, or do they take their own place ? Do adjectives really belong to nouns or pronouns? Do adverbs modify verbst Do verbs agree with thtlr nominatives In number and person? "Hoping, friends, that you will take •beae things fmo consideration, and, by the wisdom of "jrour arguments, lead me out ftorri - this grammatical* Wildeiness, I await your replies." *We should aim in our school! to teach that klnf of knowledge which will awaken the mind to such kinds of activity as are necessary to Its growth, and to teach In such a manner as will enable the mind to thorougly master what is taught. * • * The number of branches nowltangftt may sot be too many, but the amount of facts attempt ed to be taught under each branch is too large.
