mmun 8mial'y for The Bu letin) “parsing” any longer a part o:‘ grdmmar-school work ? When I was a! sip@ll boy and. the /teacher was trying todrill me into some sort of intelli- gence, she seemed to rely’ mainly on two! text-books. One was Colburn’s Men- tal CArithmetic; the other was' Pope'd ©ssay on Man. Frem the one she required me to tell, | off-hand as it were and with@t any ush’ of slate and - pencil. what three- sifleteenths of a pound of butter was woith if bananas cost tnirty cents a fogen. From the Other she demanded hat 1 tell her what Dlrt of speceh “Lo!” wis In the phrase, ‘Lo! The poor Ip: 4ian” Not omly what part of speech it , -but why it was what it was and wasn't something quite different. As a result of her gentle ministrations { gradually but certainly came to re- métic or grammar as an abomination of ‘desolation. Especially did I mark down those two books on my private Index Expurgatorius. I used to dream of{ being able, wher. I had become a mgh, to collect all there were in the wérld into one huge bonfire and dance i whoop around them-like a wild In- dian' till they had consumed to ashes. | Later, I somewhat changed my opin- | 6ns. I now have Pope’s rather remarka- | bi¢ Essay in my library, and occasion- | Ally’ read parts of it with real interest | and no little amusement. As.I am no lotiger compedled to bother about its grammar, 1 can find some satistaction in'its Nmpid English, its easy versifi- cation, its vigorous philosophy, and its larking - irony. But there's one sentence ! in it! perhaps the most commonly quoted of .gll, that still causes my gorge to| sise.' In fact, 've got so that, when I see’ thase four words loominj up on thenext page, 1 usually skip that leaf,! tugn| It over and pick up the route weli _on the other side. “Whatever is, ‘is right”, bave ‘em.
