Slow Spelling Reform.

While some of the periodicals adhere
rigidly to the phonetic spelling, it is
noticed that scores Of new American
books are published every year with
the very old style OF spelling for many
words. In fact. 1t seems as though pub
fishers are going backward instead Of
forward In the matter OF spelling.
Words like 'honour," favour and
"humour'' had become rare In Ameri-
can print before the spelling reform,
but this form of spelling not only per-
sists; It seems to be more in evidence
every year. In these same prints the
British style Of using ''s" where we in
variably use ''z." as in ''civilise," and
'x" where "ct" Is preferred In America
and some other variations from rou-
tine spelling are found.
No copyright British works for which
the type is set by printers in England
are now issued here. The international
copyright law provides that copyright
can issue In this country only upon
books printed from type set within the.
limits of the United States. Therefore
it is not Il mere custom OF spelling
among English typesetters which puts
the English form into so many books
sold in America. But books set up
and printed in America may be sold in
England, and the New York Mail says
that the desire Of our publishers to
cater for sales in British territory leads
them to "humour'' English prejudice
In the matter Of spelling because the
Americans who are to read those some
books do not care what the spelling is.
Strange as 1t may seem. in the face Of
all the lecturing Of spelling reformers
there are many Americans who rather
like the old style which they first met
with In works printed in England. In
social invitations the spellings favour"
and honour appear to be more COM
mon than they were few years ago
Apparently the general public in Amer
lea does not care very much either way,
and so While the few are making vio~
lent changes still others are inclined to
return to the old classic standard.

i ifE fHESS AND PUBLIC CHARITIES,
Before they can hope to establish
ideal relations between the newspapers
and charitable organizations, social
workers must learn to appreciate tho
principle Of give and take. The point
of view IS rot the same. Impressed
solely with their own side Of tho
problem, social workers seemingly fail
to reckon With the public and pub
lie opinion. There is not newspaper,
however dcEFaved or yellow, that
would refuse its aid to humanity in an
hour of aftiiction. Admitting this
therefore, would it not be more rea-
sonable Cor the social workers to be-
come more practical and less theoreti
cal in the discussion of a problem
which affects all of us alike? They
cannot socialize or substitute the press
even III the name of charity.
After ALL it resolves itself into n
question of reaching the people

of those from whom assistance might
be expected. AS to the best and most
