Show A Much Discussed Question. One of his children had produced a dinner table sensation by offering a grammatical correction of the language used by the head of the house to the effect that the phrase should not be "It is I," but should be "It is me." A challenge chal-lenge of the accuracy of this view brought out the further statement that the educational authorities to which this child owed school room allegiance had determined that "It is him" and "It is her" were not permissible expressions, expres-sions, smacking of vulgarity, but that "It is me" had become established in this country by "usage," and was therefore there-fore the correct form. I had an opportunity oppor-tunity to refer this matter to the professional pro-fessional educator of whom I spoke the other day, and I confess his reply was a staggerer: "Well, that case has received a great deal of discussion among us."
