THE "SIMPLlFlED SPELLING"
FIASCO.

Paul Shorey, in the current issue Of
the Dial, impales prof Lounsbury's
Carnegie retainer argument for sim
pifed spelling upon the horns of ir-
resistible humor and losses it about
with a justifable violence that will de-
| light a large body of readers. I'm
doubtedly by this time IL can be as
serted fairly that the vast majority
of those who make public opinion are
convinced that the attempt to i'm
pose an artificial arbitrary system of
spelling upon users of the English
language is as futile as il is fatu-
ously presumptuous, and can have no
effect other than that Of creating un-
comfortable and unjustifiable confu-
sion. comments the Evening Wiscon-
sin
He begins by contrasting the Profess
sor's position i'm regard to diction with
the Professors position in regard to
spelling. The former is that what
ever is is right-that popular usage
stiles everything. The latter seems
to be that whatever is is wrong. Then
ne calls attention TO the brazen du-
plicitly with which the spelling reform
coterie seek on the one hand to dis
arm opposition by assurance that they
have no intention OF going fast or far
that all they seek is the rectifcatlon

hand they thrust upon the public list
! after list of "simplihed" spellings. the
general adoption of which would make
all existing books appear 10 the next
generation as quaint and difficult as
the English OF Chaucer. At one and
the same time the reformers give as
surance that they have no intention
OF making revolutionary changes, yet
magnify the Importance OF their pro-
posed innovation on the tacit assump-
| ton that It will be thoroughgoing anC
consistent.

GRACEFUL ACT OF THE MIkADo.

There are many friends of tn
University OF Michigan and of tn
II venerable scholar who was at it's hea'
for SO many years. who viii rejoic'
with DR.. James Il. Angel and feel
glow of pride at the action taken b,
the emperor of Japan i'm decorating
him with the imperial order of the
| Sacred Treasure. This honor, the
| highest the emperor could pay him. il
i'm recognition of the long and distin-
guished service rendered to the uni
versity by DR. Angel especially in
the education of a number of our coun-
| trymen who have proved themselves
extremely useful to Japan"
1t is a fact not generally under
stood that the United States is edu-
eating more Japanese students than
any other nation outside of Japan
This is due to several causes princi-
pal among which is the geographical
location. 1t is easy for the Japanese
to reach this country. At the same
time the sentiment Of the mikado's
subjects toward the United States has
always been most friendly, while the
American progress in industrial and
other lines has made this a profitable
field for study.
The japanese student is merely a
visitor in this country. He comes not
with the idea OF making his home here,
but to secure an education according
to the white mans standards, to be-
come imbued with the western form
OF civilization. As a rule he has been
found to be an earnest. diligent and
efficient scholar
The University Of Michigan has for
years been one of the colleges which
has assisted i'm the education of these
young Japs, comments the Saginaw
Courier Herald. They have been well
coined. They have been a more or less
picturesque feature Of the campus
scenes they have enlivened many a
classroom and in economies and soei-
ology especially they have shown a
familiarity with and insight into the
principles studied that have surprised
their fellow students.
when the Mikado speaks OF the
education Of a number Of his fellow
countrymen at the University Of
Michigan it is no merely conventional
phrase. The institution Of which DR..
Angel has been the head for so many
years has been of great service TO
many OF the japanese. 1t was a very
graceful thing for the japanese ruler
TO so honor the venerable American
educator and yet there is ample found
alton to make the honor the more APP
preciated as It is the more, deserved.
