pointed out that it is practically impos-

The Letter III"

The Rev. Mr.. Godfrey Hill is an
Englishman who has advocated a
most radical reform in the language
of his native land. He declares bold
~ that the n should be abolished,
and declares that sooner or later it
will be left out of the English alpha
bet.
Everybody knows that for several
generations in England the proper
pronunciation of words containing
this letter has been a shibboleth, and
the man who dropped his IN" in the
wrong place wac also dropped from
good society, or rather, kept out Of

whereby nobody will pay any atten-

that Mr.. Hill uses. He does not seem

shibboleth Is not itself, but what II
signifies, and that if the worthy peo-
