Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Early Settlers' Association of Cuyahoga County, 1887, Vol. 8 I then commenced analyzing sentences and applying the rules of syntax, and at the end of six weeks found, to my surprise, that the class had acquired not only a very good, but a somewhat critical knowledge of English grammar.

The examination was decidedly exhaustive, yet very few mistakes were made. The result was pronounced satisfactory, and my charge for tuition was' cheerfully paid.
