The REFORMED SPELLING Rev. DR.. Hill of
this city, read paper on 1.-THE Reformed Spell
ing" befo;e the Massachusetts, Educational As
ISOLATION in session at Springfield, Wednesday.
DR.. Hill advocated the reformed spelling as
saving of time in teaching children to read, and
affording better means of indicating the pro-
nunciation Of the language. As for the new
dress the language should take Oh, he thought
it would be difficult to introduce new characters
into the alphabet, and he therefore favored the
glossc, or ''glosik," method of A. j. Ellis,
which makes combinations of letters to repre-
sent AZ elements of speech, and spells words
according to sound. The way in which he would
introduce this would be by having the old and
new system taught side by side, and have an
agreement among educated men that one who
used the new method should not lose caste.
Several prominent teachers spoke upon the top
ic, most of them in praise of the proposed
change.
