sceptical or skeptical, and whyP

London NeWS.
 Mir. Algernon Ashton writes to us plead ing for a return to the old-fashioned spelling of the word "sceptical." He writes: Which is really the correct spelling of the word 'skeptical? Is it scepticar or 'skeptical?' In all the dic- tionaries which I possess Qncluding ths standard ones of Johnson and Barclay)
 skeptical' is given in preference to 'scep- tical.' yet every newspaper writer and almost every modern author persists in spelling it with e. thereby making the word look as if 1t ought to be pronounced 'septical. like all other words beginning with sc What can be the reason for this? I myself always write 'skeptical yet whenever I happen to use this word in letter to the press. the printer inva- riahlv converts the K into e.
