SAYS 6HAI9IMAB METHOD
IS A WASTE OF TIME
Professor Brumm Discusses Subject
of "The Case Against Eng.
lish Grammar"
"I am thoroughly convinced that we
are wasting much valuable time on
English grammar, and that the gram-
mar methods employed has done much
to render the speech of youth inartic-
ulate and barren," said Prof. J. R.
Brumm, of the rhetoric department, in
his lecture on "The Case Against Eng-
lish Grammar" at 5 o'clock yesterday
in the Natural Science building.
"The rules of grammar never have
changed and never will change a bad
speaker into a good one," continued
Professor Brumm. "English grammar
does not teach the correct use of Eng-
lish, but rather belongs to higher
learning, which investigates the laws
of language development.
"The primary aim of English in-
struction in secondary education
should be to develope the pupil's abil-
ity to use the vernacular coherently
and to read the printed page intelli-
gently. How many high school stu-
dents can expose themselves to a con-
versational draft without heing strick-
en with intellectual cramps?
"When educators have once grasp-
ed the fact that the student's speech
is determined by the kind of discip-
line he receives in oral speech and not
by the writing of formal compositions,
the solution of the English problem
will not be far to seek. It will mean
a systematic effort to provide youth
with a better speech environment.
Nor will this be the task of the Eng-
lish teacher alone but of all teachers
and other persons who may influence
the speech habits of the young.".
