SIMPLiFIED SPELLING


The following lecture was delivered
by Prof J. l. D. Kinds of Cumberland
University, Lebanon, before the tea
chers institute in Cookeville last
week:
Anglo Saxon and Old English were
originally spelled phonetically. Pro.
nunciation gradually changes from
age to age and unless the spelling
changes at the same time it soon ceas-
e, to be phonetic This has occurred
with the English language Since the
introduction of printing the spelling
has remained more fixed than the
pronunciation, and unfortunately the
changes in spelling have frequently
been irregular and capricious and not
In accord with the changes in pro-
nunciation.
A good many years ago the spelling
had gotten so bad that there arose a
strong desire to improve it. Many
phonetic systems have been proposed
but none have been adopted In 1877
the American Philologicau Associa-
ton agreed upon an alphabet using
the five vowels in their Latin values
and adding three new forms making
eight .ymbols. By using the macron
these are made to represent sixteen
vowel sounds. The objection to this
scheme s that the macron sometimes
indicate difference of quality, but not
always. In 1903 the Department of
Superintendent of the National Edu-
cational Association, in cooperation
with the Modern Language Associa-
tion, took UP tn ework, and, after sew
eral years of investigation expert
ment and discussion, adopted an al
phabet which has many excellencies
and is used as Key 1 in the rew Stan
dard Dictionary. To this alphabet
there is the same objection that long
and short sometimes imply differ
ence of quality and sometimes differ
ence of quantity only.
To secure the adoption of a phonet-
ic alphabet is slow process. Our
spelling Is so bad that we cannot well
wait for that. So few years ago
some American phililogists and schol-
ars undertook the simplifcat'on of the
spelling in advance of and preparato-
ry to the phonetic change. So in 49,
O6 the Simpl'fied Spelling Board was
organized in New York, Andrew Car
negie furnishing the necessary money.
In 1908 the Simplified Spelling Soci-
ETY. was organic. d in London. These
movements are backed by the lead ng
philologists, linguists and educators of
the English speaking world.
For the crescent the American Board
is givinc it's attention only to simpl'f1-
cation without introducing new SYM
bols, the purpose being to make the
spelling as simple as possible with the
letters at hand. The great difficulty
lies in the fact that we havo but five
symbols with which to represent some
fifteen vowel sounds. The consonants
do not present 20 much difficulty.
The first list OF simplified words was
Issued by the Simplifled Spelling Board
March 21, 1906. 1t contained three
hundred words which are spelled in
two or more ways, and recommended
the general adoption Of the shorter
form. The second list was published
January 30, 1908. 1t included seventy

PIONEER CROSSES THE DIVIDE.

John o. Levander, the well known and
highly esteemed pioneer of Goff pass
ed away at his home at that place last
Wednesday, Feb. Gath, in his 18th year.
his last birthday occurring December
27. The funeral took place from the
home on Saturday, the remains hav-
ing been held for the arrival of some of
the children from down in Washington
county and over in Oregon.
John o. Levander was one of the
sturdy pioneer figures of this western
country, going from Illinois to Pixies
Peak during the gold excitement In
1859. From there he came on west
to the willamette valley with his out
fit of OK teams. He came to Idaho
in the early Cos at the time OF the
strike at Pierce City, and from there
went to Boise Basin. where he took up
a ranch and freighted. He removed to
Meadows In 1884, where he was elected
county commissioner of Washington
county. He was a member of the first
state convention. In 1893 he moved tc
Goff and started a store, later getting
a postoffice. The place soon became
noted as a stopping place for all travel
ers, and he and his devoted wife were
known far and wide for their hospital
ity and for the excellent entertainment
given to the public Deceased will be
mourned by a host Of friends in thi.
county and held In kind remembrance b

the board express their appreciation and
gratitude. In particular recognition is
due the press of the state for invaluable
aid. The Board itself Is committed to
an honest and efficient execution of
their duties and they call with conf
dence upon the people of the state to
aid them with patience and enthusiasm
as well as counsel and suggestions In
completing the great work which the
people of the state and their representa-
tives have so well begun.
The Cost Of Schools.
No people In the world are more gen
cans; and the people of the Pacific Stat
es lead the rest OF the country. We
believe profoundly in education; we send
larger proportion of our children to
high school and college than does any
other nation. But wherever the pinch
Of hard times comes, we are tempted
to look with question on these expendi-
lures. and some are ready to vote for
heavy retrenchment.
Yet the entire cost of schools In the
United States is far less than the
amount spent for tobacco. and probably
less than a third Of the amount spent
for liquor.
1t is true that Idaho spends proper
tionately more for schools than the
United States as a whole. But even SC
we rank below most Of our neighbors
on the Pacific slope: In 1910. for eact
child Of school age Washington spent
$S2 year, California $27. Montana $24
Oregon $21, and Idaho $40. Wyominl
and Utah spent slightly more per chile
of school age than Idaho

TRIED TO PUT ONE OVER POLICE.
MAN SMITH.

Albert Fagan, known as "Toughie,"
and Lewis Pennell, who has been caus-
ing considerable disturbance about town
lately, undertook to put one over on
Policeman Smith, Wednesday night at
the Edgington billiard hall. Smith had
just STEPPED into the billiard room on his
rounds when young Pagan, who was
drinking, expressed his opinion of him
In unvarnished terms, and he and the
officer begun to mix 1t. When the
officer had Pagan about under control
Pennell gathered up a chair and struck
him over the head. Smith wheeled and
landed on Pennelrs head with his club,
knocking him back against the billiard
table. Pennel grabbed up several bill
lard balls and threatened to throw them
but the officer held onto Fagan and tool
him out Of doors, where he got Lonnie
and Orville Collins and another party
to look after him while he went back
and took Pennell in tow. When they
got to the cooler. first Pennell and
then Pagan made breaks to get away,
but were caught and turned into
the bastile. 1t would seem that it is
about time an example was made OF
some of the young would-be toughs
who have been floating around here
for some time. The city should pass
an ordinance, II 1t hasn't one now, and
see II It cannot get little work out

The State board of Education last
week submitted its first report to the
governor which is quite interesting and /
Is in part as follows:
Beginning with April 1913 the state !
board has had the sole responsibility /
the six educational institutions of the
state; it has besides had the work done
by the previous ex-officio State Board
of Education; thus affairs which were
hitherto shared among seven boards are
now laid upon the shoulders Of this one
Board. This has demanded a vast
individual members. This burden has
been greatly increased by the fact that
the presidency of the University be-
came vacant before the present board
took office.
The Employed Officers Of the Board.
The statute instructs the Board to
and upon his recommendation they may
appoint such other specialists, assist
ants, clerks or any other executive Of
ficers or employees as in its judgment
the execution of the work may demand
and also fix the salaries of the same.
The qualifications of the commissioner
are described by the law: ''Said COM
missioner of education shall be chosen
upon merit and because of his special
fitness to propose and execute benefic-
ial educational policies for the general
supervision, government and control of
the state educational institutions and
public schools of this state" Those
provisions and the law as a whole make
1t clear that the commissioner is to act
as the chief adviser and executive of
the board in all matters under their
control
Legal Problems Of the Board.
The new form Of educational admins
tration is only partly completed by the
existing legal provisions. The law pro-
vides for a single board, with full con-
troll of the educational affairs Of the
state. There is however, a certain
amount of uncertainty as to the duties
of the two most prominent officers Of
the Board, the commissioner Of educa-
tion and the State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction. Such arrangements
makes duplication unavoidable, and it
makes conflict of plans and purposes
not only possible but exceedingly prob
able. At present the duplication is
reduced to its lowest amount and con-
flict is avoided only because the State
Superintendent. Miss Grace M. Shep-
herd, and her assistant, Miss Bernice
Mccoy are stanch advocates of the new
plan, and are working with splendid
devotion and unselfishness for It's full
success.
In order that we may make a real
test of the new plan of school admins
tration, this duplication must be elimin-
ated. Some one should be chosen state
superintendent next November who will
cooperate with the board and the COM
missioner to the fullest extent, the
whole educational budget should bt
placed under the control Of the board
so as to be expended with the highest
efficiency and economy, without dupli
cation and consequent loss Secondly
the next legislature should take what
ever steps are necessary to do ava,
with the duplication and possibility o
conflict of authority.
The Great Educational problems of thu
state.
What may the state reasonably ex
pect from the new educational admin
