LA LANGUE FRANCAISE. Certains Anglais de notre pays se sont d(:rnièrement occupés de notre langue. On a dit que les Canadiens Français a.ppt·ennent mieux l'anglais q ue les Anglais n'apprennent le français; on a répondu que nous avions tout intérêt à apprendre la langue de la majorité, tand is que les Anglais pouvaiênt presque mépriser la nôtre, ce dont plusieurs ne s'abstiennent a ussi qu'avec pei-ne. Des esprits plus larges et pins justes ont trouvé qu'il y avait Intérêt et grand avantage des deux côtés à ne pas négliger d'apprendre ces deux belles langues. Au sièCle positif oi'l nous vi vons, il ne faut rien négliger, rien mépriser de ce qui nous apporte une plus value intellectuelle ; et les relations entre peuples sont trop multiples, les communications sont maintenant trop faciles entre les pays, même ceux que séparent les mers, ponr qu'il ne soit pas éminemment avantageux de parler plusieurs langues. En attendant que le volapuk ait mis l'idiome universel à la disposition, sans doute, de la raison universelle, les tentatives que l'on fait. pom en accréditer l'usage rlémontrent assez Je besoin 11u'ont les peuples de se comprendre. En Amérique surtout le mélange des races et des nationalités fait une impérieuse néceE>sité èe ce qui n'est qu'un besoin d'utilité ailleurs. Chez nous, au Canada, nous avons généreusement combattu, et notre résistance énergique au pouvoir du vainqueur· nous a conservé nott~ langue avec les priviléges que l'on sait. Nous pouvons bien maintenant, pour d'autres avantages, nous dirons même selon les hesoins du temps, apprendre la langue de nos voisins et de nos maîLres. ~lais de là à ces honteux renoncements que l'on nous

The High School World !or May has been surveying the fields of it::! labors for the year and cred its itself with many substantial changes and great general im~ro~ements; iL sees room for much to be done yet, whiCh 1t hopes the coming managers may effect. At present it is c~rtainly a very presentable and lleat. Jour-

nal an rl we hope it. will b e notilinoo less in the comiua n.years. S:1.y Owl, i t's easier to dio.;tin~ ui sh German from Greek tl.Jan to see th e point in your joke ( ?). A Yery cre<l itab ie nrticle appeared in the April No. oftue;Ge01'_qetown College J ozwnal entit led t he ''Function of Litera.ry Cri ticism." fu it the wr iter very ab ly rev iews the present tend encies of modr.rn cri ticism , showing the parti 0 ~lari ty that det<"·rs the average ci-itic from presenting a fair est im >tte of a w1:iter's productilllls. A fter taking a thorongh view of the field, tb e writer concludes: '' Tbe best cri t icism is that given by a perfect stranger, wbo cares not whether he pl eases or offends ; who entertain3 no malice against the au thOt', and who is influ enced by no f<tlse restr ietions of friendsh ip ; who can sit do wn after carefull y analyzing a work a nd putting it t ogether pga in to compare calmly what t he author has actually accomplished with what lie inintended to ac<·om plish. This 'is ti1e actual function of critic ism, and as s~c h it cannot fail to fill the g reat want in the litf1 ratur e of the age ; to expunge the useless -prattle of idle scribblers ; to bring the best thoug hts in the world within the reach of the eager scholars, and to pave thP. way for a bright future of inventive g~nius." That's a funu y thin g in th e Rambler for April: " The fun ctions of secret societie~." That the writer had a poor id eaof his subj ect is only too ap parent. He begins by Secret Societies, perhaps he re fer:~ t o Masons or Odd-fellows, and without knl>Wing it he is soon e:x bausting himself on the merit.s of a College debat.ing society! In sustaining the first he say~: ''l\1en wan led some thing they did not find within doors and it was so ug ht and found in fraternities." Yes, men exchange hom e, the source of peace and true manhood I or the secret society, the botbed of modern socialism and infidelity; is it wond erful that the world is swayed by a uan:hy and rebelli<>n? Yet this snge oftbe "Granite State" uph•)]ds secret societies. Now one would think that til is Anthropoid would be the most tolerant of persons towards societies; oh no! Masons, etc., are the beau . id eals of soft heads, but Jesuitical societies are something that every honest man shou ld rise up and condemn, This is the opinion of the Granite-headed urchin of New Hampshixe. 0 ye gods and little fishes, that sucll int e ll ects should be hidc en from mankind, that this "Solomon" should be kept from enlightening this world of darkness! Now JitL!e man, this cold world will hardly ever give yon the reward that yon deserve: tar and f eathers. So we would ad vise you to go further up the mountains, form a secret soeiety of which you shall be th e entire body, high muck-a-mick, etc., and there ripen yourself and your ideas of societies, for both are very green. In the meantime keep cool, nnd eat more vegetables, goats Ehou ld not always eat old botUes, they might get too sharp.
