...more time." In other words, in correcting themes and essays they could skip the small frequent errors which children hear at home and will hear all their "better middle class" lives. Some usages now viewed by 6,000 U. S. teachers as permissible: Who are you looking for? Invite whoever you wish. None are expected. Everyone was here but they all went home early. Healthy climate. Pretty good, awfully bad. I felt badly. Walk slow. Try and get well. He invited my friends and myself. Farther for further, shall for will. The reason was because . . . If it wasn...

The chairman accepted this meeting and the resolution was rephrased to read, "At a meeting called by the Harvard Liberal Club the following resolution was adopted ...." In this form it was passed and sent to the press. Whoever "promulgated" it as "the definite opinion of the Harvard Liberal Club" was inaccurate. Any member of the club not present at this meeting may have the subtle satisfaction of considering himself exempt from this expression of viewpoint if he so desires.
