Since the subject, when suppressed in any deck, is understood to be the same as that in the deck just preceding, care must be taken to have the verb agree with it grammatically. There is a not unnatural tendency, for example, to use in one deck a singular verb with a collective noun like "common council," or "faculty" (of a college), and then, changing the idea to the members of these bodies, to use in the next deck a plural verb with the subject suppressed. Thus, in the following head, "tariff board" should not be made the subject of "reports" and "declare."
TARIFF BOARD REPORTS
ON ALL WOOL SCHEDULES
Declare That Many of the Rates are
Too High.
