CASE AGAINST SIMPLIflED
SPELLING.

In the North American Review
Max Eastman endeavors to show
why English Does Not Simplify Her
Spelling" Against the economies
OF time. OF paper. of ink. etc.-by
which simplified spelling is recon-
mended by its advocates, Mr. East
man arrays certain other considera-
tions pertaining to written English
which. In his judgment, are of nc
little Importance. The dead uniform
ity for which the simplifiers plead
would be sorry substitute for the
beauty In variety which many find IN
English as 1t is now spelled; while
the adoption OF the recommendation
of the sinpliners. as Mr.. Eastman
shows by certain instances, would
not remove the bugbear of exceptions.
To many lovers OF literature, the ap-
pearance OF the written or printed
word is Just as important as its sound.
and Mr.. Eastman quotes Robert
Louis Stevenson aud others In testi-
mony to the value they placed even
upon silent and apparently useless
letters. He says
"A man OF letters. essAying to
write srnesome poetry. who should
leave the h out OF ghost and aghast
and CHASTITY and ghostly. and the "
out of wrath. and change the re Of
spectre to an er would b, fool. he
would deservedly die of starvation.
A ghost without an h Is little better.
for the purposes of poetry, than a
goat. The h not only is connected by
custom with the breathless and Wis
ionary moment. but for obvious rea-
sons 1t ought to be. The word ghost
is not at present associated with rost
and most and roast and toast. and a
host of daylight experiences. and IT
is essential to the literary art that II
should not become so. 1t Is. with one
or two others. word by itself-s
strange word. essentially unpro-
nounced. unmuscularized. superaat.
