Many ways In Which Independent spoilers
Present the Word.
At the last meeting of the Six O'clock
Club, Major John McFlroy, of the Ma.
tional Tribune, speaking to the ques-
tion, what shall we abolish next?"
proposed the abolition OF our present
method Tor lack of method) OF spelling.
He favored phonetic system-one, as
he put 1t, under which words will spell
themselves. Mr.. Theodore L. DeLand,
OF the Treasury Department, proposed,
on tho other hand, the abolition Of
spelling rcformers, holding that In this
glorious land OF the free and home OF
tho bravo eyory body should DO and now
Ia permitted TO spell according to tho
dictates Of bis own conscience. or words
TO that effect, We arc ALWAYS glad to
furnish disputants with good weapons.
IL therefore gives pleasure to us to be
able to lay before these gentlemen and
their respective allies a communication
which we are amply assured contains no
jot of exaggcration;
Mr.. EDIToI-From the correspond
ence with the Post-Ofiice Department
the following misspellings of the word
schedule" have been collected princi-
pally by Mr.. &. II. La Fotra, late Of tho
Post-Ofiice Department
There are honest attempts TO spell the
word by postmasters, contractors, mail
carriers, memborsof Congress and others
in the Cove. nment service. Some evi-
IDENTIFY arise from failure to pronounce
the word correctly and then an effort to
spell the mispronuneiation The possi-
bilities OF misspelling this word arc by
no means exhausted il this list, but
these given Indicate clearly that some
reform is needed, either in our system
of education or in our system Of SPELL
ing. The matter is respectfully referred
TO the honorable Civil-Service Commits

Certainly this curious list sustains Mr..
De Land in his assertion that every
body spells as he pleascs in this great
and growing Republic, and, on the other
hand, it must crafty Major McElroy to
find such testimony of the need of sys-
tom in which every word will be its own
