SIMPLE SPELLING BOARD HOPEFUL.

Members of the Simplihed Spelling Board whose
purpose told in The Tribune yesterday, are
confident that the strong financial backing they
have will enable them TO accomplish much more for
the reform of spelling than has been done hy the
various movements in the last hundred years.
William A Ward. Of The Independent" said yes
terday:
This Is the first movement that has any real
backing Prior 10 this. those who have taken y
up have devoted TO II only what time they could
spare from other duties We are going TO have
permanent Offices and salRrted secretary. we
VIII have subcommittee all over the country, and
hope, societies for the advancement of the work
will be organized.
We shall make a business OF popularizing sim
plihed spelling. But we shall go slow; We do not
want to attempt any eKtravagances our r1ethods
first will be to call the attention OF publishers OF
newspapers, magazines and other publications. 10
the advantages Of introducing simpler forms OF
spelling. We hope to get the revised spelling into
the schoolbooks. which will. OF course be great
advance in the movement The campaign 10 that
will be carried in national ana State educa-
tional associations well through local boards
OF education.
