Railroad Pronunciation. .
"I. regret to say. " remarks a writer
in the Boston Transcript, "that on th
Providence railroad Wrentham has late-'
ly become Wren-tham (a as in Sam)
in the mouths of several brakemen.
First we had Wal-thanv similarly
twanged in the second syllable, and 1
fear that ultimately, we have to submit
to Ded-ham in the place of Deddum.
Thus do English names suffer in the
mouths of those who are quite ignorant
of their history, ot merely because it
is English; but because it is logical and
historical, (and because the word "ham"
has Its : meaning. , Waltham should be
Waltum and Wrentham Wrentum. A,
return to the ' colonial pronunciation
to this extent would, cf course, be toe
much to 'ask, but still for a little space.
