For what it's worth, Getrude Stein, in "Poetry and Grammar," says this: "I really do not know that anything has ever been more exciting than diagramming sentences. I suppose other things may be more exciting to others when they are at school but to me undoubtedly when I was at school the really completely exciting thing was diagramming sentences and that has been to me ever since the one thing that has been completely exciting and completely completing."

Sentence diagramming may be something like a surrey with the fringe on top, but it can still be a useful pedagogical and analytical tool; it isn't just a convenient amusement for children on sunny afternoons. That said, being forced to do it in the fifth grade cured me of any interest in grammar for about the next twenty years.
