Gregor, of McGill College, Montreal, on
Hutt/ Shoe C0 wanted greater pm,cc_ "American speech." The paper was in
reply to an address made by IIcnry James
at Bryn Mawr College. Professor Gregor
said Mr. James had fenced the question
around with a lot of ironclad rules and
arbitrary declarations, but had given
no specific instructions as to how to teach
such perfection in speech as Mr. James
himself had attained.
The Canadian professor contended that
American English is better than British
English. The latter, he said, stood for
tradition, while the former stood for

outgrowth of different conditions and
environments.
“Why” asked Prof. Gregor, “should
the British arrogate to themselves the
right to sci. an example for our language."

Point, Prince Edward Island, and is now
Professor of Germanfat McGill University,
Montreal.)
