UNDER RULE IV.--OF ELLIPSES.
"This building serves yet for a school and a meeting-house."
[FORMULE.--Not proper, because the compound word schoolhouse is here divided to avoid a repetition of the last half. But, according to Rule 4th, "When two or more compounds are connected in one sentence, none of them should be split to make an ellipsis of half a word." Therefore, "school" should be "schoolhouse;" thus, "This building serves yet for a schoolhouse and a meeting-house."]

UNDER RULE V.--THE HYPHEN.
"Evilthinking; a noun, compounded of the noun evil and the imperfect participle thinking; singular number;" &c.--Churchill's Gram., p. 180.
[FORMULE--Not proper, because the word evilthinking, which has more than one accented syllable, is here compounded without the hyphen. But, according to Rule 5th, "When the parts of a compound do not fully coalesce, or when each retains its original accent, so that the compound has more than one, or one that is movable, the hyphen should be inserted between them." Therefore, the hyphen should be used in this word; thus, evil-thinking.]
