Blankets and Comforts

The secret as to why so many lack
the ability to spell correctly rests, in
my opinion, writes John F. Baxter in
the New York Sun, on their neglect
to acquire the art in childhood. One
hardly ever becomes proficient
speller who has not made a special
study of it in his youth. Children can
be taught to spell, adults rarely. Old
Noah Webster's spelling book that did
so much to help the school training
of children in the good old days is
now a forgotten book. Nowadays
things have changed, and the results
have vastly changed too. The get ed
ucated quick process ignores the
great importance of first learning to
spell. Instead of teaching children
spelling as a distinct and separate
study, they are now expected to &C.
quire 1t while learning to read. This
cannot be done, and it is this that &C
counts for the fact that We are told
that many college students cannot
write the English correctly. 1t is true
that ia become trustworthw spelle,
a knowledge of foreign languages
preferably the Latin, is of great value
1t is a fact that educated foreigners
who speak English well both write
and speak it more correctly than do
many of our own educated people, for
the reason they are better students
Of our language and far more thor
ough in acquiring it. Carl Schurz was
an example Of the truth of this. He
spoke and wrote English with far
more exactness than did some of our
public men with whom he was asso-
ciated. Kossuth came over here from
his Hungarian prison in which he had
mastered English, and as a public
speaker excited the admiration and
wonder of Mr.. Webster and other pub
lie men by his fluent sd precise
handling Of our language
