cOMyop SENSE IN SPELLING.

"A Senate committee has decided that
Porto Rico" is the proper spelling of
our island territory. and not Puerto
Rico" after the local and Spanish
usage. The spelling adopted by the COM
mhttee ought TO prevail according to
Leslie's Weekly. IL Is the easiest and
simplest form. and in accordance with
common-sense principles. Whenever an
opportunity presents itself, as in this
case, 10 choose between phonetic FORM
of spelling and an Intricate or more in
volved form. the former ought always
to no adopted. silent letters and fantas-
tic combinations in words impose use
less and wholly unnecessary tax upon
the memory and intellect, and they
ought 10 be ruled out OF the English
language as rapidly as possible.
