In Chicago. Tuesdays dispatches announced
that the celebrated E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS
now the Superintendent OF Public Schools in
that town. is strongly In favor Of phonetic. or
"fonetk spelling. He has prepared and pre-
scented to his teachers the following modest
list OF words spelled in conformity with his
ideas:

logue). thorofare thorouEhtare), demagog tdemA-
goGue), thru through. pedagoG tpedaeoeue)."
Mr.. ANDREWS believes that the adoption OF
the principles indicated In his list would do
much to simplify business correspondence and
alleviate the task OF school children. But the
Superinten dent has left much to be conject-
ured. What. for example. would he do with
such words as " dictionary" satisfactory"
geography" &c? Would he spell the first
dikshunari.' as it is really pronounced and
as 1t Is spelled and written by photographers /;
or would he spell it dictionari." as other
wouldbe reformers have written it. or would
he let it stand as 1t Is? And would the in
satisfactory" be changed to Il or allowed to
remain intactF When 1t comes to geography"
a still more serious question Is encountered,
namely. that Of preserving or discarding the
initial o. Theoretically spelled. as in "geog-
raphy" becomes j. Therefore. to put that
word in the list Of phonograms 1t would have
to be spelled "jeoGran," lnasmuch as the first
o is soft. Fancy a pupil In the public school
writing home to his parents: kanot lurn mi

II would be interesting to know II Superin-

In charge Of the public charities and tho
other Of the public correctional institutions.
At that period the Department Of Chart
ties and Correction" as It was called had
indefinite jurisdiction over the wards OF
the city'-the needy the afflicted, the in
. sane, minors. the aged. those accused Of
crime, venlal or serious, those convicted
OF crime, fragrant or trivial, and the home
less or the irresponsible. 1t was not until
the year 1895 that the New York Leglsla-
ture separated the two Departments Of
Charities and Correction, whereby they
have been since and are now entirely dis
tinct. Previous to that. in 1890, however,
the care Of the dependent insane had been,
with most salutary and economical results,
taken from the control OF the municipal au-
thorities and vested In the State.
These benehcent reforms approved by
charitable and philanthropic persons gen.
orally, have suggested another, the need Of
OF the committee over which Assemblyman
MAzEr Ia presiding: A more careful and
effective separation, within the Department
OF Correction, OF those accused and
those convicted, of crime. The law in its
lenity regards all accused persons as in
nocent, until proved otherwise. The bene-
fit Of the doubt in their favor Is acknowl-
edged and enforced in every tribunal, but,
oddly enough. 1t Is denied in practical effect
when awaiting trial. The testimony given
before the Assembly committee on Wednes-
day showed the convicted to be much
better and more humanely treated in the
City Prison than are the accused, and such,
under existing conditions. Is the rule in
more institutions of this department.
