|" HERE are some arguments
which can be answered with
the same decisive logic that
was employed on an histor-
ical occasion by certain young
lady of Willis. Her distinction, if
YOU remember, was that she walked
across Scotland on stills, and when
they told her twas shocking to
display so much stocking, she
answered them, "what about kilts?"
There are again other arguments
which appear plausible and, in
fact, have much to recommend
them. OF such is the argument
for phonetic spelling. The often
quoted remark of Sir Isaac Pit

iustifiabie. Nobody can deny that

But the adoption of phonetic

a revolution in language. So that
it seems necessary to inquire ex-
actly what is meant by phonetic

every sign one sound" That any
system of this kind would be abso-

A New Haven man was praising
the late Judge David Terrence of
Derby, Conn.
"Judge Torrence," he said, cut
tered many an epigram from the
bench. In a case concerning a
noise nuisance a scientist was
once testifying before him about
the speed of sound.
"'Sound,' said the man, travels
at the rate of 400 yardsa second
"All Sounds asked Judge
Terrence.
"'All,' replied the scientist.
"'I am sure you're wrong he
said, L have noticed a great diff
ference between the speed of GER

"Fame is the dearest, sweetest

his sentence with proposition.
It is the dearest without doubt;

whether anybody has counted the
words to find out and it is certain
that the chief Emergencies in the
present system are not isolated
words such as az and are but
classes Of words such as those
which end in Use or age as ataksczse
or ln-or or-our as honor. When
this Is borne in mind, it will be evil
dent that the reformers' two per
cent becomes very small proper
ton. Of course it is undeniable
that these Emergencies should be
reconciled, but that the Simplifed
Spelling Board has the authority
to make even this slight change [
for one content myself with mod
estly but irrevocably denying.
The only way by which any
needed reform can be brought
about is to appoint an interna-
tional commission, for Great Brit
ain is also interested in this ques-
ton. In fact it may be said that
were the American board COM
posed of the best scholars in the
country, their decisions would
have little weight in England,
where, deservedly or otherwise,
the American dictionary and en-
cyclopedia have long been syno-
nyms for inaccuracy. The storm
of ridicule which swept over the
British press and found very loud
echoes in this country also suffi-
GENTLY shows which way the wind
blows, to confute the metaphors
little.
OF the confusion caused in the
government department by Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT order it is scarcely
necessary to speak, bat it is evil
dent that this confusion is but
fraction of the general disorder
which will result if any further
samples of deformed spelling are
forced down the publics throat.
Think of the minority which In
any case will reject the reforms,
thus causing two languages to be
written IN our midst! Think of
the suffering entailed on future
arch@ologists who will puzzle in
vain over hieroglyphics of 1906!
Think, too, of the violent changes
which must result in the spoken
language for it is an absolute GER
tainty that if we begin by writ
ing as we speak, we shall end by
speaking as we are trying to write!
I do not feel confident that pho
netic spelling will not be attempted,
but I ask all educated men to do
their part in averting the oatas-
trophe, for catastrophe it would
surely be. ANGL1cUs.

exact pronunciation) the simple.
vowel sounds in the language are
twelve in mum Der, exclusive of the
sounds and which he regards
as diphthongs; while there are
twenty three simple consonants.
This would give an alphabet of
thirty-seven characters, and when
it is remembered that our present
alphabet contains three characters
&C, q and r. which are phonetic
ally necessary, 1t will be plain that
to adopt strict phonetic spelling it
would be necessary to add four
teen rev characters, another half
an alphabet.
Very few spelling reformers have
had the courage to suggest strict
phoneticism, however. The usual
idea which is put forward is
scheme by which all superfuous
letters shall be Topped off, leaving
the word with it's flesh removed
sitting comfortably in it's skeleton,
as it were. Some considerable
divergence may be confidently ex-
pected among reformers as to what
letters are superfuous. Thus, in the
simplified word rite, for instance, is
the final to be Topped off, or not?
| Or should words that have double
pronunciation, such as dlbAth0ng
pronounced either diph- thong or
dlf-thong) be spelled either way,
according to taste?
"Ah!' says the spelling reform
ers, "of course not. With our
new scheme of spelling, a new
system of pronunciation will i'm
mediately come into fashion. All
mon will speak alike; the millen-
mum Of language will be here"
And at this point we come to the
chief obstacle in the path of the
adoption of phonetic spelling. in
any form whatever-the fact that
men do not pronounce alike. Not
only is the Englishman's pronun-
citation different from the Ameri-
can's-so different that [ used to
have great difficulty in making
myself understood by the members
of this circle and even now can
only claim to have partially over
come the handicap-but in Eng
land especially the differences are
so marked that it is no exaggera-
ton to say that a man in. one
county is very frequently unable
to follow what his neighbor from
the next county is saying.
Of course it may be rightly
argued that these differences
spring from localities and in these
days of cosmopolitanism and be-
fore the steady advance of half
education they will gradually
become things of the past. Or
again, it may be inaccurateIy urged
that they are confined to the Aoi
bol2oi or the great unwashed, or
whatever else you choose to call
them.
There is another point at which
the man who thinks will take
issue with the spelling reformer.
That worthy will tell you that the
language belongs to the Anglo
Saxon race-or at any rate to that
portion of it which resides in this
great government "of the people
by the legislatures for the corpor-
atoms" (These American quota
tons don't seem to fall quite
naturally from my lips.) This is
true: but is true only of the spoken
word. The written word is quite
evidently only the business of the
man who writes, and I will 60 fur
Their and say it is only the bust
ness of the man who gets his

and unprotected child who has to
master it. Over in England,
which has, alas! not carried hu-
manitarianism to such an extreme
length, they still teach Latin and
Greek, and make the former lam
guage at least almost compulsory,
in the schools corresponding to
what are termed in this country
"high schools" Now if you in
quire why this barbarous cruelty
is perpetrated on the helpless
scholar, they will tell you they do
it to develop his mind" Even
in America it seems to me that |
have heard of algebra and geom-
etry as used for the same prepos-
ferrous pretence. Therefore it
appears reasonable to inquire why
it should be necessary to simplify
English for the object, when the
abolition of some one of the many
entirely esoteric subjects with
which the modern child's mind is
burdened would serve the same
purpose, without raising any ink
singers like myself in opposition.
AS for the poor, benighted for
eigner who has to struggle with
our tongue, one would think that
if his difficulties kept him out of
the country it would perhaps be
advisable, instead of simplifying
English, to make it more difficult.
Possibly, however, this is the hidden
motive of the Simplifed Spelling
Board.
It is of course only the serious
advocacy by prominent mon of
phonetic spelling that makes this
question at all worth discussing,
but it should be noticed that out
side the Simplified Spelling Board
not one of the advocates of reform
can lay any claim to authority on
the matter, while many man who
is an authority has either main
tanned a significant silence or has
openly expressed his disapproval
of the entire movement.
OF the three hundred words so
far put out by the board, the ma
jority have long been in current
use, especially in America. The
class of words which are spelt &C.
cording to the system Of Spenser,
Shakespeare and Co., with a final
t instead of ed (e. g., kast) is SO
palpably homogeneous with the
rest of the language that that fact
alone casts a doubt on the ability
of the board, or, it it be true that
the idea was put forth as an adver-
tisement or to create discussion
on it's good judgment.
En- his opening lecture to the
public on this question the gentle
man who is responsible for the
scheme had phrase which shows
clearly it's chimerical natures In
effect it was as follows: 'The
only thing which stands in the
way Of English becoming world
language is it's chaotic spelling"
Now if universal peace is trifle
ahead of this age, what can be
said of a world-language? One
looks in vain for any gain that
English is making except in
Japan and China, neither of which
countries, it may be mentioned,
shows any desire to abolish it's
own language. As a matter of
fact nothing is SO hard to get rid
of as a language. Take Gaelic,
for instance, which sentiment is
keeping alive, or take Basque, a
dialect spoken in a poverty -strick-
en- district on the Spanish side Of
the Pyrenees. The Basque lam
guage has no literature and no

of tourist steamers from San Pedro

similar trip was interviewed by sew
