things in The education OF our rising generation
is correct spelling. Yet il is one of those things
that is most neglected, denominations for colleges
and admissions to West Point 10 be taken as
"A criterion
Some time since Professor Moses c. Tyler wrote
an article tor the Michigan Teacher that throws
some mor,iying Information upon this subject.
Members Of the Sophomore class in the Michi-
gan University AT Ann Arbor, do no escape from
guilt in false or,hography. Among the essays
OF this cass can be found spelling after the follow
ing style: '-axidenial, " ''wrOt iron, ''meny,n
'imoral, ''creachers, ''pararias," ''togeath-
err, "perhapse' One year such as the follow
ing could be found among the written speeches
OF members OF the Junior class anintelligable,"
''ageant, ceu,rairy," "ciowd,n ''faveriie."
The written replies to questions in geography
given by applicants for admission TO BOudoin
College revealed the following photography
"lteriy, ''Fiorady, "AIerrymac, "Alssisuri, ~
''MishigaR'
FROM essays of Senior class in eastern col
lege the following specimens were taken God
ess - s'pece, " Nv hilest,' ''weJher," ''coines -
"redeamed, " essential" "extry."
These are specimens of the wretched lack of a
proper knowledge Of photography among those
who are aiming at eminence among their fellows.
When it comes to be applied universally ii be-
comes more fearful and notifying TO our pride.
IL frequently happens that applicants for admis-
sion TO West Point are rejected because Of their
bad spelling.
II is one of the first things that the English
speaking people ATE called upon to learn. After
they once begin they are constantly engaged so
az to have this matter always before them. Yet
how many people get smattering Of everything
else without getting anything more of this.
Boys and girls and their dear parents prefer
they should Study Latin, French, German and
drawing enough to know just nothing about it,
while they manage to get through their school
courses and pass through life eventually, ignorant
of the correct spelling of The most common words
in their native tongue, Everybody who will
take the pains can learn how to spell correctly.
We know Of no more burning shame to ones
literary merits than an inability TO spell their
words correctly. Yet il is a glaring evil among
all classes of American Society. The RESPONSE
bility is upon parents, teachers and the indvi-
duals themselves. We consider it crime and
should favor statue making it punishable
