Chinese or Enotlsh?

We hear a good deal nowadays about
spelling reform, but Sir William Ram
say believes 1t is a pity that We did
not from the beginning adopt the CHI
nese language instead Of our own! NJ
The Chinese did not spell; they used
symbols which conveyed ideas. The
I Chinese language had the great adj
vantage that it could be read much
quicker than any spelled language. It
went straight from the symbol to the
brain as an idea.
Although he would not support the
adoption OF new alphabet on the
lines OF the Chinese system, he felt
that it was pity that 1000 or 1000
years ago our ancestors did not adopt
the chinese system. M
Outside of the scientists there will
not be many to deplore the choice OF
the English language to that picto-
graphic affair the unhappy Chinese
scholars are afflicted with.

Oldest Drama Extant.

about two weeks ago informed read
ers OF the Times that the students IN
the State university were about to
stage the book of Job. Professor Kali
len OF the university, who had the
staging in hand. remarked that he
had not dramatized the work, but
simply restored it to the form In
which 1t was originally written for the
ancient Hebrews" Ill $.2

formation out to the world added the
remark, This is. different from the
opinion OF most of the big men In Ut

The "big men in literature today"
may differ from the university man
Of Madison, but he has with him the
biggest literary men OF the past.
Among these is Thomas Carlyle, who
holds the book Of Job Is the Oldest
specimen OF drama extant. 1t would
be impossible to tell where the book
originated, but it is far older than
Moses, and the writer knew not only
human nature, but the geographical
