TH." STUDY OF WORDS.
Mow to Acquire anil Itrtu'n a Ouiid Vocab-
. ul.iry.
Nottiiwr is mure fascinating than the
study of words; nothing more clearly
indicates the scholar us opposed to the
mere tyro thun the nice and fastidious
use of these. In words we clothe our
thoughts. Eloquent, subtle, poetical,
tr thrill inff as thesu may be, they are
Intangible and invisible until arrayad
In language. Unspoken thoughts are
like "unborn children. thety cannot
come into the world or on the scene of
human action till they are born of the
spoken or tho written word.
One way of acquiring a good vocabu
lary is, of course, by habitually asso
ciating with people who speak cor
rectly, and whose choice of words is
careful and elegant. To live With highly
educated awl congenial people is in
itself a liberal education in this regard.
One sometimes wonders at the singu
lar lapses into slovenly and illiterate
blunders conspicuous in men and wo
men who "should know better." True,
they should, and probably do know
better, but in daily praotlce few people
rise very much above the ordinary level
of those with whom they always ooo
verse.N A city-bred girl went to live tn
a part of tho country where provincial
isms are the current coin ot dally talk.
Returning a few years later to her
home, no one would have supposed her
to be the same person, so many queer
little phrases and downright forms of
speech, Inelegant and lacking in good
form, had she, a very susceptible person,
picked up and adopted.
'If we wish our daughter to be pro
ficient in music we take her to hear the
most renowned artists. Technique
may be acquired by constant practice
under the best Instructors, but she can
gain fueling, appreciation of color and
phrasing, sincere and genuine culture
In music only by hearing it rendered
well; and this Is truo of both vocal and
instrumental performance. Ho it is
true that a good vocabulary Is greatly
augmented by habitually listening to
eloquent and beautiful speech, to the
polis)ed diction of the pulpit, to the
rounded and rhythmic sentences of
prayer and praise. The young person
who always govs to church will gain
something uot included in our usual
thought of church-going a larger and
more facile vocabulary.
"Kor two years," said a student ot
French, "I heard no English that I
could help. I attended a Trench
church; I went wherever French was
spoken, in public undin private; 1 lived
in a French atmosphere,"
This Is equally true of English. A
vocabulary is not gained In a day or a
week. It Is tho slow accretion of
many days, the development of many
weeks. lLrpr' Bssar. . .
