PECULIAR ENGLISH SPELLING.
8sst Difficult OF All Systems to 40.
quire Except the Chinese.

8sst Difficult of All Systems to AZ.
quire Except the Chinese.
English spelling is the most unsystem.
attic and therefore the most difficult Of all
systems to acquire, except the Chinese.
The French has not a complete alphabet
to represent all its sounds in a simple and
systematic manner, but the French uss
the incomplete and defective Roman al
phabet much more consistently than we.
The object Of writing is to convey thought.
An ideal system would allow Of the con-
veyance Of thought with the least expendi-
ture of energy on the part Of both writer
and reader.
The sounds Of the spoken language
should be represented by the simplest,
most complete end most logical system.
There are in English 40 distinct sounds;
40 distinct letters are needed to represent
them. With such a system the intermina-
BILE difficulty Of learning to spell would
disappear, the time spent in printing and
writing unnecessary letters would be saved
and the learning Of the language by chill
dren and foreigners would be greatly IA
ciitated. There is no valid objection to
phonetic spelling except the difficulty Of
Introducing 1t. The genealogical objec-
ton is unworthy Of serious consideration.
The etymology, for example, Of "soph-
Ism" (Which, by the way, does not import
. wise ssying) resides in the real word,
not in it's spelling. Any one who knows.
the history Of the word would associate
that history with it, however it might be
spelled. The Pathological association IA
vors phonetic spelling. 1t Is, Of course,
impossible to make so radical a change at
once, but it does not follow that the bene-
fits of phonetic spelling, the metric system
or any other great improvement will come
to us in the surest and best way by simply
leaving the matter to chance. There Is q
tendency to shorten spelling, but the bene-
fits to be derived from improvement are
so great that definite action should be
taken to secure them early and to make
the changes in the way that will be most
beneficial. Changes for better and for
worse will continue to come by chance as
they have come In the past, but chance
change in 30 important q matter as the
language of the most enlightened and
most progressive people Of the world
should not be satisfactory.-Sef Culture.
