COLLEGE MEN POOR sPElLERs
Not Their Fault. Says Prof. Da
ton, hut That az the Words.

Prof, George II. Danton. in n lecture
on THE Amelioration of English spell
ing at Columbia University yesterday
afternoon, said that the average college
student in this country is not a good
speller, Although enc may not be n
good speller, he asserted. this does not
near that the man is illiterate. The
present system Of spelling should give
place to a more uniform and simple one,
he said.
Prof. Danton Is the Pacific Coast rep
resentative Of the Simple Spelling Board
which is starting a campaign in the col
leges OF the country in behalf of the
simpler system of spelling. Some of the
newspapers in the West and middle
West, he says, have already adopted the
revised spelling advocated by the board.
