MR. CHAsEDear Sir: I noticed in
the publisheu minutes of the " Potter
Co. Teachers' Association,' a resolution
upon-uniformity of text-books. I agree
with the As: °elation, " That it would
be well to' have a uniformity" if the best
books were chosen. In 'selecting books
for a new institution I have had my at
tention turned to the merits and demerits
of text books, and the influence of their
authors.. I wish to lay before your read
ers my thoughts. upon the subject, and
my reasons for rejectine a book previous
ly in use here, and taking one before,um
.known
The author of a good hook is a bene
factor to mankind; but he who, prevents
the spread of a good book by sending out
a poor one, is a malefactor. There is
more difference in text books than many
Suppose. He who deceives me concern
ing a garment does me little barn', com
pared to the injury I receive from one
who makes an inferior book the compan
ion of my school- days, and -thus stunts
the 'growth of my intellectual energies.
A worthless book, though containing one
or two excellencies, is none the less 'a
curse to community : it is so =oh the
worse, as it is so much the more likely-to
impose on the understanding of those not
qualified to detect its errors. - Next to an
author, he deserves praise or Blaine, who
aids in circulating a good book or a bad, one.
Directors and teachers are heavily respon
sible, and ought to judge with caution.
In selecting text .books I tried to :deter
mine : first, - what a text book worthy of
adoption ought to be; next, what should
be the abilities and character of its au
thor. I laid it down as a principle, that
no book should be taken, which was not
systematic in its arrangements, brief in
its definitions,, clear in its splanations,
Bon in t s : 'that "no - anther
should- be used- unieste‘ of.'a large and,
pot}apieltenai mind,. liberal : views, and
candid diriposition. Tried 14 this stan
dard ..Kenyon's Grammar" could not
be taken. It is badly arranged; its
definitions are long, often erroneous; its
explanatiolie'cibteure; its principles false.
It, is a collection of Pots rather than prin.
oiples, and:by .Isid.arrangement, the facts
are rendered--useless. - ' -
Then thii riuthot disidays a sophistical,
uncandid_spitit, It ignorance of hiiettli

of wart* with ' , Alai we shall primarily

or spoken, according as we wish- to ad
dress our thoughts to. the minds of others

He opens with language without-tell
iag. that there is any relation between
grain mar and language. His specification
is long and needless; especially ; "we shall
primarily: have to - do with-words," as the
most hasty glanisec-shows it is all words
and no meaning. This is too hard to be
pineed in the hands of a child
commcuc
ing grammar. The next twerity pages
are too easy for one, who - has commenced
grammar. Thas his arrangement spoils
it for all classes of pupils. Instead of
treating each topic in full by itself, ho
tells one fact and then a score .ot pages
interveneliefore he tells another. Noun
io defined on'page 5 :- it is nbt mentioned
again "until page 31, and finallydrop
ped on page"6l". • Though occiipyingsO

Common bonus. It needs tic) great acu
men to'see that they are sub-classes. :Thus.
virtue is the general name for a class of
noble traits of character, According to
Kenyon's definitions it is both a common
and an abstract noun, yet he failed to see
that a noun oould belong to these two
classes-at the same time. " Nouns un
dergo certain changes called variations :
these will be better understood by attend
ing to the details than, by any labored
definitions." A plain admission that-he,
labored hard in preparing' his definitions;
and in the absence of other, may betaken
as the reason why he bas not given a def
inition of grammar.. Then he.. labors to
give definitions : •
." Variations are of four kii:ds
son, number, gender, case. The 'person .
of substantives denotes the speaker, the
hearer r or the periou` or . . thing spoken of.
The first person denotes the speaker; the
second the•hearer•, the third, the person
or thing spoken of., Number is the
riation of nouns that distinguishes wheth - -
er one object, or more than one is meant.
Gender is the distinction of sex. • The
term case is used to indicate thei•elation
that substantives sustain to other woids."
Each definition - differs inform; from the
others - , Does not this indicate.labor2
,On
page 35 "gender is - a variation" on page
44, " it is the distinction of aex,"--Aoth
cannot be true. SuppoSe the perscin spok
en of, hears ;' he is in both•the second and
third , person. Suppose the :.person ad
dressed, does not hear; he is in no per
son. Tp `such absurdities do Kenyon's
definitiOns- lead: will now quote from
page 66, where he tries to be sarcastic ;
he is speaking ofiviliat he calls "conjunc
