Gentlemen-AlloW me to say word
reg arding your modern institution and
its famous system of shorthand and
bookkeeping.
Without any previous knowledge
Of bookkeeping or shorthand, I en-
rolled with you and studied both SUBJ
iects. Then without a days expert
ence as q bookkeeper, I successfully
stood the bookkeeper's examination
given by the U. S. treasury depart
ment here.
After leaving school I did not use
my shorthand one day for more than
two years. Then / went into an Office
and took business dictation and tran
seribed my notes without the least
difficulty.
/ would say to my young friends:
the Byrne Practical bookkeeping and
simplihed Shorthand are all that is
claimed for them. If you are con-
temp1ating taking business course,
take none except the Byrne.
Your friend and student,

simplIflea aaellinR.

It is just little bit unfair to jump
dation that simplifed spelling be used
in department correspondence here
after. To do SO reveals a lack of infor
nation and misconception Of the idea
which the president advocates. He does
not favor any radical and revolution
airy scheme of reform or any sudden
or violent change of English spelling.
The president knows that any proposal
to upset suddenly and violently the
accepted spelling Of any literary Ian
guage is doomed to failure. Simplifed
spoilers do not advocate any modifca-
ton OF English spelling that it is not
temperate and reasonable. They are
not in favor of any freakish orthogra-
ply of any kind, like the misft spelling
of Josh Billings, and they do not de-
sire to relax any of the existing rules,
but rather to modify and simplify
them, make them more certain and
extend them and enforce them so as TO
get rid OF needless exceptions and
produce a greater regularity than now
exists. Simplifcation by omission
is nothing new; it is a process which
has been going on for centuries and
which has given US today, for example,
almanac, era, fantasy, public and
wagon instead of aIInanack, AGRA,
phantasie, publiek and Wagon; and,
to go a little further back, bat, set,
dim, sum, fish, true, civil, fatal, ETC.,
instead of the Elizabethan bate, settle,
dimme, summe, fysshe, treWe, civil,
fatal, etc. There is nothing danger
Gus, nothing radical in using the ac-
celeration Of this normal process.
The proposed simpli6eation will not
make it more difficult for any one to
read the masterpieces of English liter
allure; and they will not render use
less the books now in print. But they
will save the time of all who write and
the money of all who print; and they
will make the language easier for our
children and for the foreigners who
now are studying it, in increasing
multitudes, all over the world. Grow
ley Signal.

He had 20 gallons to pay for, 20
instead OF 10. Got fooled 1880 on
the paint.
He had 20 days. wages to pay for,
20 instead of 10. Fooled $50 il wages.
