SALUTE THE TEACHER

Sir,-I wish to say once more in connection with the recent discus- sion on methods of teaching lan- guage-especiaily our own mother tongue-that I entirely disagree with those who claim that formal grammar is being over-worked in the schools of today. Rather, the reverse of this I believe to be true. especially in the public schools of our own Province.

And while the discussion on best methods goes on merrily among the armchair teachers. let us all join in a sincere and hearty salute to the real teachers behind the, birchen rod, who during the com? lng months will be cheerfully en- gaged in teaching their young hopefuls, that a noun is a word that is the name of 3. person, place, or thing: and that a verb must. agree with its subject. in number and person; and incident- ally, that a Grade X pupil should never be caught saying, the or she must have came, and must have went away", nor fail in the proper use of the gerund of which Minor Saxon informs us Shakespeare knew nothing. And so again-l Salute the Teacher. !

I am Sir. etc. A FORMER TEACHER.

Certainly there is more romance about con- verting wheat into flour than in turning spruce into shingles, but mill owners must live and they must, therefore, make the things that, sell readily.
