THURSDAY, AUGUST 80, 1906.

Concerning the endorsement by Prssi-
dent Roosevelt of the simplified or pho
netic form of spelling, the Asbury Park
Evening Press says
There is no occasion for any great ex-
citement over President Rooseyeh's
adoption of the simplifed form of spell
ing 800 words At least half of these
words are now spelled by the ''sim-
plifed" method by large percentage of
we'll educated people and there is author
ity from the best authors for the forms
now Officially adopted by the Presi-
dent The simplifed forms will soon be-
come familiar to the eye and all thought
of their having been change will dis
appear.
The form of the words in the list now
adopted has been determined by scholars
like Brander Matthews and not by iron
masters and politicians, as one would in
fer from the current discussions
'.The English language is growing so
rapidly thousands of words being added
almost yearly, that some steps must be
taken to simplify it wherever possible.
IF you think the change is radical
take the list of 300 words announced and
see how many are already given in the
.'simplifed" form in Webster's Interna-
tional dictionary. You'll find the most of
them there, and if the proposed reform
isn't contrary to that most conservative
of lexicons surely the average citizen has
nothing 30 become excited over so far as
this reform goes.
