PHONICS.

Mr.. EdHOf:
Much has been said and written
on the subject of Phonics, or of
spelling words by sound.
From the time child enters the
school room until he receives his
Diploma, he is required to take
spelling in school, that he may be
able to give each letter of each
word and at the proper place.
He is required to give as much
study, yes even more, to the silent
letters of the word than to those
which have sounds, and but for
these silent letters boy or girl of
ten, could correctly spell all Eng
Ash words.
If there are forty or forty-two
simple sounds to be represented
there then ought to be forty or
forty-twO characters, or letters to
represent them and instead of
twenty-three letters of the alpha
bet with sounds there would have
to be seventeen to nineteen more.
One says why say twenty-three
letters when it Is understood that
there are twenty-sixH Well, just
this, C. x and q, have no sounds
of their own and no right to be in
the alphabet at all.
To reduce the spelling of all
words to- the letters representing
the sounds only, would be to my
mind quite saving of time and a
simplifcation of our language.
