THE LIST
Three Hundred Words With
 Reformed Spelling

The Daily Alaskan has been request ed to give a list of the words which, under the recent orders of President Roosevelt, are now being spelled by the executive department of the govern ment in accorance with the recommen- dations of the Simplided Spelling Board. The recommendations are being follow ed by more and more people all the time.
 The Simplifed Spelling Board admits that in giving out this list Of 300 words it is taking the first of many steps that are proposed. It is advanced first be- cause it is not believed the people would accept anything more radical. It is urged by the board that the English can be made almost universal language. It is used by more people than any other; it is the most verile of all languages, absorbing words from other language easiest;ls nearest gram warless and, therefore, easiest learned, but it is admittedly the worst spelled of all the languages.
 It is pointed out that there is nothing new in changing spelling. The spelling of the French and the German lan' guages have both been reformed recent ly, and the English has been going through a slow process of change for generations.
 The 300 words recommended for change are as follows:
