Mr. Carneeie's Spelling Platform.
In a statement given to the press at
Hot Springs, Va, Andrew Carnegie
tells why he is supporting spelling re-
form He says that the effort will be
conservative and that the editors who
are disposed to ridicule it themselves
use spellings which their predecessors
would have denounced as degrading to
literature. He thinks English is likely
to prevail as a universal tongue, but
that its illogical spelling is the chief
obstacle to this end. Teachers have
told him that children would be saved
more than a years instruction II our
spelling were simplified. Speaking OF
the growth of the language, he says
that new word expresses new want
and that what is slang one year is cor
rect English few years later. :
Moral Conquest of China. d
President James Of the University
of Illinois has laid before President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root pro-
posal to have an educational commits
sion sent to study the social, intellecz.
tual and industrial condition Of the
Chinese people, with a view to their
ultimate regeneration. Speaking of
this plan, President James says that
the American people must decide once
for all whether they are on the side of
those nations which propose to use
moral rather than physical force in
their relations with China. He pro-
poses to have the commission extend
ton to avail themselves of American
institutions of learning. He argues
that the nation which educates the
Chinese Of their generation will reap
the largest return in moral, intellectual
and commercial influence in times to
come.

open the trade schools of the city to
girls as well as boys, the course for
the former including domestic science,
millinery, cooking, dressmaking, wood

radical change In that heretofore the
