DEAR HU:

friend the linguist l am anxious to
know how long our American children
have got to thumb the everlasting spelling

and whether my children GfI should ev
er beso Fortunately must endure all we
have to in getting knowledge under such
d fticulties He says there are a great
many obstacles in the way at present,
other reforms are absorbing the public
mind He thinks, however, that if the
women succeed in getting all their rights,
they will be pretty sure TO look after the
childrens' rights. In the meantime we
ought to be preparing the public mind
for our reform, by removing one present
obstacle as soon as we can, and that is
the vast amount ofiguorance there is in
regard to the true clements of human
speech. That large majority of the
teachers cf our children are very deficient
in this knowledge. That cannot better
serve the cause than by giving them in
this letter the views OF our best authors
on this subject and 80 will quote from
one of the best. most cultured scholars in
England, his ideas of human speech:
speech consists OF a series of sounds
heard by the listener and produced by
tie speaker by means of the organs of
speech. These organs are first the lungs,
which act as bellows; secondly, a tube
from the lungs, termed the trac6aa, or

was to call attention, in the first place, to
the general misapprehenslon prevalent in
the country, that large number of peo

lation of Congress. This belief, which
has been fosteTed by the democratic

right to vote By the action Of Congress,
or by the force OF a constitutional amend

understood, He proposed, in the second

removing the disqualification from hold

that the people Of the South ought first
to accept the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, and give evidence that they
