In letter to Public Printer Stillings,
directing that changes in spelling advo-
Gated by the simplified spelling board
be observed in all publications of the
Executive Department, President Roose-
welt says that criticism of this step is
evidently made in ignorance of what
is proposed. He asserts that there is
no intention of doing anything revolu-
tionary, and that the purpose is for the
government, instead of tagging behind
popular sentiment, to advance abreast
of it, and at the same time abreast of
the views of the ablest and most prac-
teal educators of our time, as well as
of the profound scholars, men of the
stamp of Prof. Loundsberry and Prof.
Skeat." He explains, further that If
these changes in the spelling of 300
words do not ultimately meet with pop
ular approval, they will be dropped, and
that there is all there is about it"
After quoting several examples in word
shortening in popular use, he declares
that this reform is not an attack on the
language of Shakespeare and Milton, is
not an attempt to do anything far
reaching, sudden or violent but is an
attempt ''to caSt what slight weight can
properly be east on the side of the pop
ular forces which are endeayoring TO
make our spelling a little less foolish
and fantastic"

We have stopped the importation of
the little Greek boys who have b9sa
coming to this country in thousands III
recent years" says Commissioner OF
immigration Sargent. Practically all
the large cities have scores of boot
backing establishments filled with
brighteyed Greek lads of from l. to Is
years. These were all brought over here
by a European syndicate. But we have
broken up the business. We reject
these lads now on the ground that they
are under age, unaccompanied by their
parents and liable to become public
charges through sickness or other all
ments. We satisfied ourselves that the
boys were coming here for the purpose
of opening bootblacking shops, and not
to go to school and secure educations.
1t was not desirable to increase the
population with this class of material,
and we shut down on them. We were
also satisfied that the boys were under
the control of some kind of organiza-
ton or syndicate, for as soon as we be-
gan to reject them the tide Of immigra-
ton suddenly stopped"

The valley is nearly as broad as it is

bunch-grass, which is an excellent win
