We have always been accustomed to see excavations similar to those made for the reception of the water service pipes packed â€" firmly by means (of an imnstrument for that purpose when they are in process of being refilled, and it is neediess to say that the precaution is a safe and necessary one. . Nothing of the Yesterday the hills of Scotland reâ€"echoed to the sound of the oftenâ€"emptied breechâ€" loader, and sportsmen vied with each other as to who should make the biggest " bag." Ot course the frightened moor~ tow! suflered in proportion to the success of the sportsman. But toâ€"day we shall withess in Ottawaâ€"tar away from the hills of Scotlandâ€"~some things which will come home to the hearts of Scotchmen and the _ sons of Scotchmen cence of the 12th of August. The sport of the 12th, an unnatural one at best, is reserred for the favoured fewâ€"for the special pleasure of the pampered sons of luxury ; but the sports to be celebrated toâ€"day on the Agricultural Fair Grounds are those of the people, the property of nature‘s own gentlemen, and open to poor and rich alike. ‘The bone and the muscle, the strong arm and the Heet foot, the well* knit but elastic frame, and all the attri~ butes of genuine manhood which are bred of good health and plenty of exercise, are at least quie:ly permitting it, â€" This is not right, OJn .the contrary, it is very wroog and very reprehensible, making every street a perfact pitfall into which horses and conveyances are liable to go at any moment, and the result of which might be the destruciion of any amount of valuable property and not‘a few human limbs and lives. Let our Commissioners take warning by the events of yeaterday, and not only avoid making or permitting the same mistake in future, but immediâ€" ately remedying those committed in the past. They will thus give that safely to the citizens which they have a right to demand, and save many a dollar in the way of damages. those which will win tavour and fame to the competitors who will enter the field toâ€"day. Athletic sports, if engaged in raâ€" tionally and without recklessness, are both ennobling to the mind and healthâ€"giving to the bodyâ€"two properties which it is necessary to combine before we can picture a true specimen of man as the _ Creator intended him _ to be. The â€" origin and _ history of athlstic sports in Seotland are matters sufficiently interesting to be worthy.of being sketched; but in the meantime it is of greater importance to press upon the atteniion of â€" all who may interest themâ€" selves in toâ€"day‘s proceed‘ngs the truly philanthropic nature of the society under whose auspices they are being held. Like the St. George‘s, 8t. Patrick‘s and St. Jean Buptiste societies, its chief purpose is to assist _ _deserving fellowâ€"countrymen who may happen to have been under the pain{ul necessity of succumbing to misâ€" fortuneâ€"truly a noble object, and one which commends itself to every true patriot, be his ereed or his country what it may, It is perhaps somewhat unfortunate that we cannot in a country like this throw aside those old associations of the land we have â€"left behind, snd form our selres into â€" a Canadian Society, uniting all religions and all nationalities which combine to form our common country as completely in name as they al« ready are in nrture; but after all the disâ€" tinctions are merely nominal, the interests of one are identical and never conflict with the interests of the other, and the union of purpose is real and commendable. If Bootch, Irish and Englizsh would leave their prejudices on the other side of the At» lastic, and bring with them only scoh inâ€" stitutions with such noble purposes as the societies we may have mentioned, it would be a happy day for Canada. 1t is a matter for which as a nation we ought to be thankful, and one of which we may reasonâ€" ably be proud, that no man who is able and willing to work need lack for bread in Canada ; but there ares ome who, be they ever so willing, are not able, and it is on their _ account that _ the, St. Andrew‘s Society and its sister institutions appeal to the public for support and aid. Fortunately they do not appeal for charity» but simply give the public an opportunity of evincing their sympathy with a benevo. lent object, while they offer them a fair return for the money they spend. We feel safe in predicting, from the reports which have already reached us, that the results of tqâ€"day‘s proceedings will be a source of just pride and heartfelt gratificnn tion to every lealâ€"souled son of the "Land kind has been down in connection with our waterâ€"works excavations so far as we are aware, the contractors contenting themselves with throwing the sutff into the trench in the loosest possible form, and the commissioners, if not sanctioning, Ottawa, July 3th, 1874 CALEDONIASTERN AND WILD. o‘ Cakes MOLBON‘3 CELEBRATED: ALE.

We publish toâ€"day a letter from Mr. W.I D, LeSu eur, in reference to our remarks on the critique in the: Nation on the * School Books of Cinada." Of cours® Mr. LeSueur has a perfect right to his opinion of the ability of the Nation‘s ree viewer to discuss the subject of grammar, and so have we. 1t is hardly necessary to say, however, that we did not question his ability for a moment ; the simple fact of our bhaving quoted his criticisms as nearly verbatim as our space would admit is proof of that. But what we do say is, as we have said before, that he is much more at home in pointing out the evils of the existing system than in finding a remedy for them. * Let it be remembered that the reviewer war dealing with the education imparted in our common schoolsâ€"the e lucation which is within the reach of the vast majority of the people of Canada, but beyond which they are not expected and generally unable to go. The ‘reviewer proposes that the study of grammar should be postponed until the pupil has acquired * considerable â€" practical . acâ€" " quaintance with the English langusge # and literature from ordinary converia« "© tion and from bis reading books." It would have been well, for the purposes of the argument into which Mr, LeSueur enters, that the exact meaning of a conâ€" # siderable practical acquaintance with the # EKnglish language and litontun,” should have been stated. ‘The phrese is incon« veniently ambiguous, and may be inter« preted just according to the readers‘ preéâ€" conceived notions regarding what constiâ€" tutes a frair education. To us, and we fancy to the majoriiy of those, outside of the teaching profession, whose personal interest it is to have the young educated, the phrase signifies just that knowledge of the English language which it is the aim of our common schools to impart to all« We suppose both Mr. LeSueur and the Nation‘s critic will agree with us that to give a good, sound, commercial education â€"â€"to enable the child to read, write, speak, and figure accurately and with facilityâ€"is the aim of a national system of instruc» tion, and that whatever further accomâ€" plishments a man may desire to have communicated ie his child, he ‘must himself furnish the means of provid: ing> Of course a national system, while it ought to _ be _ comâ€" plete in itself so far as it goes, should look more or less to being. a foundation upon which to build a more o-plt structure. What we in Canada have got do, and indeed what any try ender« vouring to make the h%_or the young a national work has is to es« tablish upon a permanent a mode of education which will be best fitted to impart the greatest amount of useful inâ€" formation to children during the fow years they can be kept at school. If grammar were what Mr. LeSueur defines it to beâ€"â€""‘simply an analysis applied to langurge;‘‘ if it is only necessary that it shouldâ€"be taught after the pupil «* has aoâ€" « quired a considerable practical acquainâ€" tance with. the English language"â€" after he has « learned language by imita~ tion "â€"after he has become * familiar «* with proper constructions and a some "what extended yvocabulary of classical * words;" it it is not the fouadation of correct speech; if while proposing as its end the correct use of langurge, it morely deals with abstractions such asâ€" the reélations of words to one another, and their classification accord. ing toâ€"the modes of thought they express; and if a correct use of language may be obtained without it, surely no argument is necessary to prove that it does not come within the province of the national school to teach it. To study the abstractions with which it deals would be very good mental excrcise, but Id the study of the classics and thomr branches of mathematics, which is would be folly to speak of in connection with a national sysâ€" tem of education. But we do not admit the absolute correctness of Mr. LeSueur‘s definition of grammar, Grammarians and lexicographers agree in defining grammar as the art of speaking and writing a lang. uage correctly. Mr. LeSueur agrees with the Nation‘s critic in saying that in our Canadian schools, grammar is taught in too abstract and elementsry a form; but with him he also falis intoâ€"the obvious nistake of conlounding the very abstractions of which he complains with grammar pu;hs in the more practical and simpler form which he insists is necessary bring it within the comprehension the youthful mind. An empirical uainâ€" tance with grammar, if it enables a man to speak and write correctly and‘easily, is all the acqihintance necessary for ordinary purposes. ‘The hidden laws and relations of which Mr. LeSueur speaks are no doubt satisfactory to our intelligence, and of ‘use in deciding a number of questions; but these questions do not arise in the proseâ€" cution of every day business, and are chiefly interesting to those who impose upon themselves, either from choice or necessity, the solution of intricate gramâ€" matical difficulties, and make the teachiog of the results which they arrive at their profession, . Except for professional purs poses, we should say that it amounts to much less of a tax on the memory to fall back upon usage than to burden it with rules, each of which govern a set of cases, and not a single one of which but admits of innumerable exceptions, all of which must also have their places in the memory, . What are the grammatical abstractions of which Mr+ LeSueur speaks atter all but the reduction | of usage to a written system. Mr. LeSueur holds that we have misconceived the proposition of the writer in the Nation, and quotes in proof the very sentence which we have already contended is opsh to various in‘ terpretations ; but until we havre some definite explanation of what the writer means, we think it would scarcely be fair to ask us to accept the proof oftered as conclusive,. We admit, of course, that the sentence is open, if it does not poâ€" sitively lead to misconception, and thereâ€" fore unless Mr. LeSueur speaks with auâ€" thority, we are just as likely to heve unâ€" derstood it rightly as he is. On one point we are quit e at one witi#him, and also with the Nation. We vetiere the present sysâ€" tem of instructing children in grammar is absurdly elementary and unpractical, and ought to be abandoned for a simpler one ; but we differ from them both,apparently, in another but not less material respect. They look upon the stady of grammar as necesâ€" sarily of itself a very abstract one, whereas we hold that it is nothing of the kind, The tendency of the age is to strip it, at any rate ia a very great degree, of its ab« stractness, and to make it what we have no doubt all parties to this controversy desire to see it â€"a plain, practical system of teachâ€" ing to speak and write the English lan« guage correctly, Of coursa there willâ€" be a difference of opinion as to the e in which this end ought to be accom Indeed, it is rare to find two s so much at ong on (flu the author of the lecter in our dence column and the writer in the Nakion. Whether this accord means re an ’ummont brought4 Ratural sy m« ‘ pathy it is of course impossible for ‘\u to divine. e Six, â€"L cannot help thinking that the writer in the Nutionâ€"who discusses the subâ€" jeot of grammar, knows what he is talking about a little better than you seem to imâ€"~ agine. You appear to think that, he states that the end of grammar is not to teach ;?oplo to parse, but to ke them speak and write correctly, he must be wrong in his further M the study of grammar is commonly at too early an age, and that it ought to be deferred "till the pupil has acq & considerable practical acquaintance with the Eoglish language and literature from ordinary conversation and from his read« ing books," This you u{'luqnlnlht to ndvhlng: man to build his house first and make the foundation of it afterwards ; and Corves| nts will be good enough to PDI8L 10 m:.;x their real m“ho wing iheir communlications over fiotitlous | signi« tures eannot be Inq,m ; 4o the Editor of THH TIMES. you add, with some vehemence :â€"‘The act o‘l”lsukin( and writing once correctly soquired, what, in the name of common sense, would be the use of studying gram= mar afterwards ?" . e n Let me try to clear up your difficulties. Grammar certainly proposes as its end the correct use of languages ; but, dealing as it does with abstractions, such as the reâ€" lations of words to one another and their classification â€" according to the modés of thought they express, modern instructors are beginning to find out that it i« not a study which very youthful puâ€" pils ‘can profitably take up, and they therefore propose that children should for a certain period of their school life (as they had previously done at home) learn language solely by imitation, that is to say, by reading in good books and so beâ€" coming familiar with proper constructions and a somewhat extended vocabulary of glassical words. esd â€"£ In alludipg to grammar as the founda~ tion of correes speech, you use a misiead~ ing comparison and are straightway miss 1.5 by it Grammar is simply an analysis applied to languago, by the aid of which a firmer hold m{ be obtained of its autho. rized forms. If it were in any true sense the foundation of correct nruoh then it would be just as impossible for a person ignorant of its rules to speak or write correctly as it would be to build a house in h;::!?lr Y et infi the ~very article on w am commenting you accept as un. deniable the statement that the «! greats est otf epie posms‘‘ was written before grammar was thought of, To your quesâ€" tion, therefore, as to what * in the name of o&u.lmn sense ha: the uu‘:.( study grammar â€" w once art of speaking and writing corâ€" reotly has been acquired I answer that there is just the same use as there is in z&lm mmio and olassification to anything with w we are bqunplria-l.lx acquainted. We discover hidden laws nmlomwl;i:h no:‘ only :ouory our hiln i t are of great use to us m number of questions. Instead of having continually to fall back upon memory to testify as to usage, we avail ourselves of rules, each of which governs a whole class of cases. The form of your question, however, is open to omh. inasmuch as it takes for granted in« structorsâ€"those at least who agree with the writer in the Nationâ€"expect that pupils will ua\:in in any full or satisfac« tory sense «* art of speaking and writ. ing correctly ‘‘ before they have had any Introduction to grammar. The words used by the Nution give no warrant for this assumption ;. the writer in that journal simply gl.op“ that the study of grammar shall be deferred " till the pupil has acquired a ‘considerable prlctlur‘ acâ€" quaintance with the Eoglish lianguage and literature.‘" The difference is wide be “{i:.n this and what your question imâ€" P We o L iob en ind d _ _Just as you can make a ury})oor study of botany with only a few window.plants to examine, so it is impossible for a child whose adquaintance with the forms and resources of language is very limited to obtain a satisfactory inoiflt into the prinâ€" ciples of|grammar, We have, therefore, a n for not bringing on the study in the first period of education : suffi sient mai for it have not then been accumâ€" ulated, |Add to this the reason previously givenâ€"that the study itself is a very ab» stract onsâ€"and it is hard, I think, for a thoughtful person not to agree in the opinion which the Nation has advanced, an opinion very strongly advocated by some of the most competent instructors of the present day. 3 Pusiico Sowoors.â€"The Public Schools wiuunroopon on Monday next, the ]7th instant. : Bogovuca.â€"For the cure of Scrofula and other skin diseases there has â€" never yet been found a remedy to equal, in comâ€"« slouly eradicating the disease, Fowle‘s ile and Humor Cure. _ Every bottle is warranted to give satisfaction ; ,ln it a trial ; it has cured hundreds, it ncl.ljhl cure you. | 2 All those troubled with inferior four should cail at J.
