So far some of the relations of English grammar to the nature of language have been emphasized. In the next place, the subject should be taught with respect to the historical development of the language. I am making no attempt to outline a graded course of instruction. Of course, only the most elementary descriptive grammar can be taught in the lower schools. But historical relations of English should certainly have a place in the high school. Above all, teachers of English of every grade should be qualified to introduce the most scholarly instruction possible at every suitable time.
