oyster Bay. Aug. 24.-President
Roosevelt today announced he has
adopted the Carnegie reform spelling,
and instructed the public printer that
all official documents FROM the white
house, including the presidents mes
sage, shall be printed in accordance
with the recommendations of the spell-
ing reform committee, headed by Bran
der Matthews, Of Columbia Univers-
ity.
The committee has published list
of three hundred words, in which the
spelling is reformed. The list contains
such words as thru" and "tho," as
spelling through" and though; al
tho, thruout, catalog and decalog.
The presidents official sanction of
this reform movement is regarded as
the most effective and speediest meth
cd of inaugurating the new system OF
spelling thruout the country. Not only
will printed documents emanating from
the president utilize the reform SPELL
ing. but his correspondence will also be
spelled in the new style. Secretary
Loeb has sent for the list of hundred
words which have been reformed, and
upon its arrival will Immediately order
all correspondence Of the president and
executive force of the white house
spelled in accordance Herewith. AS the
spelling reform committee shall adopt
new reforms, they will be added to the
list, also that Of public
printer. While the order to the print
er today does not contemplate an i'm
mediate reform in the spelling of Of
fcial documents from the executive
departments, Washington, it is regard
ed that more than likely the respective
heads of departments will fall in line
with the presidents ideas and have
their official documents printed in the
new spelling.
