' s Is the Subject Assigned to Prof. Hockenberry to be Read Before the Inland Teachers' Association, Professor H J Hockenberry, in his address before the Inland Teachers Association now in session In Pendle ton, his subject "What is and what it not grammar! " made use of the follow ing strong language, which will meet with hearty approval, "More ignoranoe and mors foolish nest has been shown in the teaohlng ot grammar, than in the the teaohlng of anything else that Is found in the curnonla of publio sohools. Grammar is that part of the science of language whioh treats of tbe right farms of words In sentenoes. Let we repeat it. It is not analysis, and it is not diagraming. The teaching ot an alysis and diagraming as It is now us ually done in the public schools ot this nation, is culpable Ignorance, is pedagogical asinioity, is orlmlnal Idiocy, ia cruelty to animals. If there is one thing more than anotb. er which the American publio school should give the American youth, It le tbe ability to nse his mother tongue I This Is just what tbe teaching of gram mar should do, but It is just what it does not do. This Is a radical state ment, but If I oould, I would make it stronger.
