David Bispham, Famous Basso, Says That
Slang from Foreign Languages Is Corrupt-
ing the English Tongue in America.
The fact that the population of America is cos-
mopolitan is strongly reflected in the language of
the country which, while supposedly English, is
so filled with words from other tongues as to be
scarcely recognizable at times. This condition has
been sharply criticised by the lovers of pure Eng-
lish, among whom is to be included David Bispham,
the prominent basso, and who in a recent interview
voiced his opinion of the matter in part as follows:

handling that edition on .very favorable terms, has
been taken up in a flattering manner and it will

will have to be obtained. The rack itself comes in
two styles, one supplied with a cabinet stand par-
titioned off to receive a reserve stock of folios,
and the other intended for use on a table or stand.

the cabinet work is of the best quality and the

top the rack offers a pleasing and attention-attract-
ing addition to the fittings of any song shop, and
