sIMPLIFIED SPELLING.

A Plea of Dr. A. H. Holman, Depart
 ment of English Literature, Universi-
 ty of Chicago. .r-
 (Herein Jew" serves qu; i"cs" serves x; s serves the sh sound.)
 It is natural that the cwestion of sim plifying Engli$ spelling Sud appeal very strongly to teachers. Professor Calvin Thomas, of Columbia university estimates that well-educated Englis person has consumed something like two and one-half years of his life t'in learning to spell more or less we'll The child's successive teachers prod him on and work over him as he slowly and imperfectly masters our magnifi- gently intricate system of representing and misrepresenting Engli$ words by written symbols. No wonder that the absurdities of Engli$ spelling trouble the thoughtful teacher. Sc is recwired to teach child after child that when he has completed the real spelling of the word tho, he must add three useless letters, making sies in all The labolf- ous teaching of such absurd spellings as this to class after class is indeed the task "Of dropping buckets into empty wells And growing old in drawing nothing up.'
 Yes, the case is even worse than this Every child, in being taught to spell, i. vigorously and effectively taught not tt reason. And how we'll they learn that lesson Certainly some ameliora$on o1 Engli$ spelling is called for in the inter. est of the child and in the interest ot the future. The convenience of the ed, ucated adults of the present generator Sud not settle everything. & It is not strange, therefore, that tn, teachers of the country have beer prominent in the movement for the sim plifica$on of our spelling. Since 1S9 the Na$onal gEduca$onal aso$a$on has printed twelve selected words in a sim pliffed spelling in all of it's publica$ons Some educa$onal journals have fol lowed this ecsample; and last Decembel t1902), as we all know, the State Teach CTS asoSa$ons of Illinois and Wisconsin adopted these same spellings for use il all offisal matter i$ued by any of thei officers. 1{ 't'.

PARCELS POST SERVICE
WITH CANADA REFUSED
Would Have to Do Business
at a Heavy Loss.
NOT EQUIPPED FOR THE TASK
United States Not Willing to Handle
Parcels Mail Across and Outside
Of It's Territory.

Canadians are making loud protests
because the United States will not enter
into parcels post agreement by which
they will be permitted TO mail parcels
from Canada to points south of the
United States through this country. I'm
der present conditions a Canadian who
wishes TO send a parcel by the mails TO
Mexico has TO wait while his package
goes to England and is shipped from
there to the point of destination.
1t is not likely that the protests of the
Canadians will produce fruit. as this
country is not willing to handle parcels
mail across it's territory. The reason is
that the United States mail service is
not equipped for handling parcels, and
should II enter into the treaty desired
by Canada. the business would be trans
acted at a decided loss. Captain Brooks,
superintendent of foreign mails, In
speaking OF the matter. said:
THE United States has consistently
refused to enter into parcels post treat
les by which it will have 70 transport
across and outside of it's territory the
mail of other countries. All Of our par
GELS post treaties are so worded that we
send and receive parcels directly to and
from the country with which we have
the agreement, without crossing any
other country. If we made the treaty
desired by Canada it would handicap
the mail service of this country, and we
would have to make the same arrange
ment with others.
we are not equipped for the parcels
post business as are some Of the coun-
tries of Europe. and do not handle pack
ages weighing more than four pounds.
while in Europe eleven pounds is the
usual weight. and some countries carry
packages weighing considerably more"
