This is an unjusli-; fied conclusion. As the observer himself intimates, there might be cause j for concern if the creation of slang were lo cease, for Prof. I liraijder Matthews and oilier' language students will te'l you that the constant addition of slang lo the language U a sign that it is a virile, growing thing; and the corollary is that when slang ceases to creep into the language the language is nun ibund. We may lie passing through a per iod of quicsivre so far as slang is concerned, but the vond ness. for it, n' the need of it, has by no means pasted. Facile as the Kn;;li.xh tongue is for most uses, it i; not yet peiTrr;. There are many ideas Which can be ex pressed with it i.n'y in an nwkwaid way; and the func tion of a cniisiili'ialile part of the iiewly-cniiK-d words and phrases which -find their way into the language as slnivr is to simplify the expression of these id.'as, or to make it possible to espiess them in a way that is not trite. When slang serve:; this purpose it often becomes good usage. If it fills no need it soon dies. Tin' wlill i'in' Hi.. I vollllllllR, lirillllil till.' JuilK'H' watli. i'l'i.
