words containing silent letters which
might with profit and without violence,
they say; be dropped. In other words,
modification and not innovation is to

Is proposed.
In the course Of few weeks the
board will send out a preliminary list

the first step. This will be sent to
writer's, educators, editors, publishers
and parents. Possibly as many as a
hundred thousand copies Of this first

parents who are interested In the prog

The poor people who earn a pre-.

on the shores Of the Baltic Sea work
only In the toughest weather. When

powders are tossed and tumbled at
the bottom and great quantities of sea

No girl who has not been brought up in the

patiently and cheerlly to accept the conse-
