An photographic Change Suggested.

To the Editor of The Evening STAR
There Is a movement on foot which looks
toward the discontinuance of two worth
less letters, namely q and x. 1t Is urged
that their" rishtfui substitutes, "cw" and
'cs may even better serve their scant
occurrence, which, respectively averages
only and times per column. and would
make four vacant places on the typesetting
machines for other letters, signs or SYM
bols. The letter q was unknown to our
Saxon ancestors, who used CIV, as "oween,"
"cwite, "cwote," 'cwic," etc. 1t was also
discarded by classical Greek literati 1t
came into our language through the Nor
man conquest by way of the Romans, who
In their early days, had adopted an in
ferior alphabet Of western Greece, which
had brought "a over from the Hebrew or
Phonician notation. The letter x has like
wise a broken history. For centuries 1t
was discarded by the Romans as worthless
and was reinstated only on sufferarce in
behalf of Greek loan words. AS used by us
it serves scarcely half the or ks sounds.
Why should it not all none? Again we
would have better uniformity by dismiss
ing it altogether for we spell accept"
Why not "eccept?"
To reciprocate, new letter TO serve the
Ssh sound is being considered which If
adopted, Will occur where Ssh 81 sci ii

earth; but he hasn't got any sensibll1ty;
that's the trouble with scores of American
fathers. These western ones are worse
than any others. They break their sons In,
whenever they can, to the same collars

they usually don't understand at all! They
intimidate their wives SO that the poor
things don't dare call their souls their

He threw himself into chair and light

Saxton laughed silently.
isn't this new responsibility you've
taken on? ! don't believe these things are
as bad as you make them out to be. The
commercial curse is one of the things you
can't dodge these days. It's just as bad
In Boston as 1t is here; and you find il

You don't quite grasp the situation, .
said Saxton. IF you had to get out among
these men who have hard work to do every
day you'd have a different feeling about
such things. They've got to make the town
go, and this carnival is one of the ways in
which they can stir things up commercially

He spoke tauntingly, but Raridan was
evidently serious in his complaint and
Saxton turned the talk into other channels.
The Chinese servant came in presently with
a card for Raridan.

Raridan made light.

THE lightning out there has been hne:
you feel that you can't trust me in the

won't appreciate the dim religious you
call it. Turn down the gas and save my
feelings"
SaXton was we'll acquainted with War
rick's zeal in church matters and was not
surprised to find a church dignitary in his
friends rooms. He had never met the
bishop Of Clarkson before, and he was a
little awestruck at the heroic size OF this
man who had just given him SO masculine
a grasp Of the hand and so keen scrutiny.
The bishop extended his vast bulk In
Raridan's easiest chair. and accepted
cigar from the box which Wary passed to
him.
You've come just in time to save us from
fierce contentious" said Raridan, all anna
bility once more, while the bishop lighted
his cigar. lie was very Dald, ana MS neau
shone 80 radantly that Saxton felt that
he could still see 1t in the dark after War
rick had turned down the lights. There
was an atmosphere about the man of great
physical strength, and his deep-set eyes
under their shaggy brows were quick and
penetrating. Here was a man famous In
his church for the energy and sacrifice
which he had brought to the work of
missionary In one of the great western
dioceses. He had been bereft in his young
manhood of his wife and children. and
had thereafter offered himself for the
toughest work of his church. He was sixty
years old, and for twenty years had been
bishop, first in a vast region of the farther
northwest. where the diocesan limits we're
hardly known, and where he had travelled
ponyback and mu1eback until called to be
the bishop of Clarkson. He was famous as
a preacher, and when he appeared from
time to time in the pulpits of eastern
churches. he swayed men nightly by the
vigor and simplicity of his eloquence. lie

scholar, but the study of humanity at close
hand had superseded long ago his interest

Look here, Raridan, I'm afraid it's the

that's worrying you Why didn't you tell
me 1t was the girl, and not the social fabric

Both Saxton and Raridan were a good
deal at the Porters. He knew that Raridan
. had been playmate of Eyelyn's in their
youth when the elder Porters and Raridans
had been friends and neighbars There
existed between them the ligbthear.ed
camaraderie that young people carry from
youth to maturity, and 1t had touched Sax
TON with envy AS man having no fixed
duties. Raridan sometimes went. in the
middle of the hot mornings to the Porter

talk to pretty girl and look down on the
seeming ealdron below, when every other

ut is my opinion, you may know, that
as the future of the cause rests largely with
the teachers of children and with those who
prepare such teachers for their work, 1t is
necessary that the eyes of children be IA
millariZed with certain number of i'm
proved spellings, and that their minds be
famliarized with the thought that spelling
can be improved, and that they themselves
have a right to improve it. Teach them at
an early age, and in language suited to
their comprehension, about the nature of the
dictionary and its authority Ecsplain to
them that the big book is a record of
usage, and that usage is another name for
faSon that in the matter of spelling, just
in the matter of the clothes we wear,
the Jason continually changes, only much
more slowly. Tell them that the only final
and ideal rule is to spell as we pronounce.
Teach them that in deciding how they Sail
SPELL as in deciding what clothes they Sail
wear, or to what ecstent they Sail CON
FORM, i.e., do as other people do. In other
matters of soSal custom, the first rule is.
Be follower of good usage; but that the
second and no less important rule is: Be
maker of good usage.
DO not, as teachers, stand too much in
the fear that, by following the spirit of
these counsels, you will train up genera
Son-o photographic anarchists. A little
anarchy when it means simply revolt of
tyranny of bad fa$ons, is sometimes very
good thing. Do not imagine, and do not
suppose that agine, that any immediate
and striking results will follow from the
kind of effort that / am here recommend

generation that will be more intelligent,
more open minded, that the present genera

it with ecwanimity, while reminding them

Raridan. Hes one of the men who begin

The bishop talked directly to Raridan
about some work which 1t seemed the young
man had done for him, and rose to go. He
had been in town only a few hours, after

reaching his rooms had found a summons

do. You know that I'm the only native that
dares to hold honest opinions. The rest all
follow the crowd"
"Reformers always have a hard time OF

make over your fellowmen, you'll have to
get hardened to their Indifference. But

Raridan attacked the bishop about some
question of ritual that was agitating the
English Church. 1t was worse than Greek
to Saxton. but Raridan seemed fully inform

read paragraph from an English Church
heretical. The bishop smoked his cigar
calmly until Raridan had finished.
''They tell me-" he said. when Raridan
had concluded by fiinging the whole matter

cooled the atmosphere, and there stole in
pleasantly the drip drip of the rain which

he and SaXton saw good deal of each
other. They drove often to the country
club together and Saxton became. as peo-
pie said. another of Warrys enthusiasms.
Saxton was no idler. and he was conscien-

chaos in the interests which had been con-
flded to him. He was annoyed, at first,
when Raridan, In his unlimited leisure, be-
