Editor Deseret News;
Some time ago you published an edi-
torial. much to the point, concerning
the need OF better spelling methods in
our public schools; also calling atten-
ton to some new requirements in that
direction by the secondary schools OF tho
state. Your ideas have met with u
warm response from the teachers OF the
Brigham Young university, For num-
Der OF years we accepted students on
the credentials contained IN their diplo-
mas OF graduation from the eighth
grade. assuming that the teaching OF
spelling belonged exclusively TO district
school preparations, But we soon found
that our assuming this fact did not
make II so, by any means, for. really
the work of these schools, instead OF be-
coming better az methods of teaching
improved, became worse, 80 far as this
particular branch was concerned, until
there was danger OF our graduates
bringing the institution into serious
disrepute, on account of defects that
should never have been permitted TO
pass the eighth grade training.
The matter was brought TO an issue
durir.y faculty meeting last year.
when the following resolutions We're
passed.
Whereas. Spelling IN primarily an
eighth grade study we your commit
tee recommend:
First, That 90 per cent, or 90 words I'm
