EDUCATORS TALK
SPELLING REFORM
Not All Agreed That President
Roosevelt's Move Is a
Good Thing
UNIVERSITY MEN ARE OPPOSED
Some Fear That Origin of Words May
Be Lost in Change to Phonetic SPELL
ins-AIso Reprintins Of Standard
Works Might Become Necessary
Opinion of Educators Secured.

New York, Aug. 25.-.Dr. c. T. G.
Scott, secretary of the simplified SPELL
ing board. is elated over the presi-
dents order that reform spelling" be
used. in official documents issuing
from the white house. He believes it
is the greatest step yet made in sim
plifying the English language, altho
even with the presidential endorse
ment, he does not believe there will
be any sudden change from the old
established spelling.
Professor Charles, Mcmillan, of
Princeton University, said, when asked
what he thought of the changes in
spelling indorsed by Roosevelt: Il do
not think it will be of any value, for
when we change our words to spell
them phonetically we lose their orig
in. When we do this, we will have to
begin all over Surely the English
language is complicated enough as it
is now, without making it still worse.
1 believe we should by all means retain
the old methods Of spelling. What a
change such a new system would make
in our colleges and what reprinting
of standard works would be necessary
to bring it into USE"
I'VE must first secure uniform pro-
nunciation before we can hope to have
a successful phonetic system of SPELL
ing" said Professor James Morgan
Hart. head Of the English department
at Cornell University.

Jordan, during. the season Of 1904,

in the game with Minnesota on
Thanksgiving day, 1904, when he
helped hold the Gophers down to II
to 0, and gained tremendously thru
their line, all but scoring. He never
returned to Iowa, however, as he could
not afford to re-enter the university
in 1905. Iowa has now pair of pow
erful half-backs, as Andrew Chalm-
ers, another Des Moines star, will come
back to Iowa City to head the eleven.
