ENGLISH LANGUAG HOW 1T ORIGNATE Speaking, Most Popular Pastime, Explained by Trinity Prolessor “The origin of man and the first spoken language are still very ob- scure; it is commonly asserted that he Is ‘descended’ from some man-like ape,” declared Professor Arthur Adams of Trinity College at the meet- ing of the High' School Club last night at the Y, M. C. A, Ot course,” sald: Professor Adams, *'many theologians differ on this ques- tlon and scientists who have spent their lives in the study of the origin of man are still doubtful as to its cor- rect extraction, “Many alive to this objection, say that man is descended from the com- mon ancestor of the chimpanzee, the orang-utgng, and the gorilla, Some ‘anthropologists’ have even indulged in a speculation whether mankind may not have a double or treble origin; the negro being descended from a gorilla-like ancestor, the Chinese from a chimpanzee-like an- cestor, and so on. These are very fan- ciful ideas, to be mentioned only to be dismissed, “Our first language spoken began with the origin of man. It is improb- able that there was ever such a thing as a common hunian language. - We know nothing of the language of Paleolithic man; we do not even know Whether Paleolithic man talked freely. “The first languages were Probably gestures, cries of alarm and passion or names of concrete things. In many cases they were imitative sounds made by or associated with the things nam- ed. The first language was a collec- tion of interjections and nouns. Prob- ably the nouns were different intona- tions to convey different meanings. “The philologists tell us that they are unable to trace with certainty any common features in all the languages of mankind. They find over great areas groups of languages which have similar root words and similar ways of expressing the same idea, but then they find in other languages which oppear to be dissimilar down to their fundamental structure which express action and relation by entirely dis- similar devices, and have an alto- INDIGESLAUIN 1!

Stop Gas, Sourness, Heartburn, Stomach Misery gother different grammatical scheme, "One great group of languages now covers Europe and stretches out to India; it Includes English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Rus- slan, Armenlan, Persian and various Indlan tongues; 1t s called the Indo- European or Aryan family, “Compare, for example, English father, mether; German vater, mut- ter; Latin, pater, mater; Greek, pater, meter; French, pere, mere; menian, alr, nair; Sanscrit, mater. In a simllar manner Aryan languages ring the changes on a4 great number of fundamental words, ‘f' in the Germanic languages becoming ‘p', in Latin and so on, They follow a law of varlation called Grimm/s law. These languages are not different things, they are varia- tions of one thing, The peopfe who use them think in the same way. “The English language spoken to- day hegan from the settfement of the Anglo-Saxons to the Norman con- quest, say ffom 600 to 1066 A, D, and s popujarly known as Anglo- Saxon, though simply the ‘earliest form of English, “It is a highly inflected and purely Teutonic tongue, presenting ' several dialects. The conquest introduced the Norman-French, and from 1066 to about 1260, two languages were spoken, the native English speaking their own language, the intruders speaking French. “During this period the grammat- ical structure of the native language was greatly broken up, inflections fell away, or were assimilated to each other; and towards the end of the period we find a few works written in a language resembling the English of our own day in grammar, but dif- fering from it by being purely Saxon or Teutonic in vocabulary. “Finally the two languages began to mingle and form one, intelligible to the whole population, Normans as well as English, this change being marked by a great infusion of Nor- man-French words, and English, as now .constituted, being the result. English is thus, in its vocabulary a composite language, deriving part of its stock of ~words from ‘eutonic source and part from a Latin source, Norman-Frerch being in the main merely a modified form of Latin. “In its grammatical structure and general character, ‘however, English is -entirely Teutonic, and is. classed with -Dutch and Gothic among the low German tongues. If we divide the history of the English language into periods, we shajl find three most distinctly marked, first the old Eng- lish or Anglo-Saxon, extending down to about 1100, second the middle English, 1100 to 1400; third, modern English, “The chief change which the lan- guage has experienced during the moderny period consists in its ab- sorbing new words from all quarters in obedience to the requirements of advancing science, more complicated social relations, and increased subt- lety of thought. At the present time the rapid growth of the sciences al- ready existing, and the creation of new ones, have caused whole groups of new ones to be introduced, chiefly from the Greek and Latin. “And so the English language has progressed from the anclent times to the present, ever changing, and per- haps, who knows, a thousand years from now it will be again changed and revised different from thespoken language of"today.” At the close of ' the meeting An- thony A. Dorbuck, Boys' Work Sec- retary announced that Raymond Goff of the ‘Senior High school would ad- dress the club next Monday evening after the supper.

Fierce Feet Young Some women still think the face gives the first warning that Time is robbing them of their youthful vigor and freshness. But it is the feet that often warn first and then complain with increasing frequency until the face unconsciously takes on a stern, pained or irritated look. Dr. Elinor Van Buskirk says: “The woman who wears a cramped shoe is bound to have a cramped disposition. She can’t help being irritable, critical and yuick tempered.” .

New Haven Wards The bill to permit the 32nd and 33rd wards in New Haven to decide separately whether or not they cared to join the city was reported favorably by the cities and boroughs commit- tee to the senate. Recently in a ref- erendum the vote of the two wards collectively was against entering the city although the 33rd ward (Morris Cove) was in the affirmative. This created dissatisfaction and legislation was sought to allow each ward to de- cide the matter for itself. The same committee was against a bill to alter the present boundaries of the 32nd and 33rd wards. From the house came the unfavor- able report on a proposed constitu- tional amendment which would change compulsory retirement of judges at 75 years instead of 70. Sen- ator McGrath, democrat, favored per- mitting the presentation of amend- ment to the voters. He cited instances in which judges over 70 now retired according to law have given distin- guished service to the state. Senator Wilder said judges them- selves were in favor of the® amend- ment on the ground that able men over 70 were exceptions in contrast to those who were glad to retire. lr- port of the committee was accep! ed in concurrence.
