Could not “boiled hard” be omitted? 2. If we use “men- suration tables,” could not “figures. . calculation” be spared? 3. What is the relation between “Tree” and “mast”? 4. Could not “lazy bones” be omitted after “indolent”? 5. Why could not “schoolgirl” be omitted? 6. Why could not “answer” be omitted after “ question ” ? * In some English schools the first syllable in “panis” sounds “pan,” in others “pain.” If an English word derived from a foreign word (or from the same root) occurs to you, use it; but do not spend time hunting for derivations. Unfamiliar words are no help ; do not think the word “ panification ” will help you to “panis,” because it is an English word meaning “bread-making,” and you are an English- man. You would be much wiser to try to remember the English “ pani- f-cation ” by the aid of the Latin “panis,” than vice-versa^ that is, if any mortal ever does want to remember that pedantic dictionary word.
