TILDEN, Neb., March 29-To the
Editor of The Bee: When the door is
opened and the way to the school Is
pointed out to the child. the heart of the
fond parent sinks into a state of dis
pair TO think of the labarynth of
photographed complexities that this
mind must traverse in order to arrive
at a few facts with so many unneces-
sary rounds. must the pupil attempt to
ascend the ladder of fame With the
twenty-six letters which are marked with
the eight unwritten diacritical marks, of
which the macron has eight uses; the
breve, two; dieresis, five, semi-dieresis,
six; cedilla, two; tide, three; caret, four;
suspended bar, two; totalling twenty
two; plus fifty-three instances where
one letter is substituted for another. and
beyond all this the letter "a has a
score OF ways by which from two TO
five letters represent Its sound. thus:
they gr(ea)t str(aighpt
VEIN AenD fteisJn rt
d(ah)lia btalss Weigh
palm g(ua)g(e) taye)
(a)t(e) champ(ag)n(e) ob(eye)d
p(ay) camp(aig)n weighed, etc.
And the same endless maze of irregu-
lartties may be found in other letters.
Not only is the time lost in attempting
to learn this arbitrary system, but the
mind is dulled for other lines of pro-
gress. In fact. IDEAS must be associated
with irrelated combinations of letters
that form words, rather than writing
the word as pronounced; and for that
reason the philologist IL still learning
his alphabet, which should have been
spontaneous.
None but the brave dare step aside
from customs iron rule, the common
mind must follow II or be esteemed a
fool" The English language should be
freed from shackles which are stln hang
ing as chains to the ghost of departed
days One hundred and fifty millions speak
our language, and a greater day of ef-
ficiency will dawn when We are set free
from these bonds.
II would, however, oe egotistical TO eX-
Dect English to become the universal
tongue, for II numbers would count, the
400, 0o0, 900 Chinese would have vote. and
| French, German, etc, would have a
voice, and others would combine to pre-
vent any acknowledgements from being
adopted. The international language must
| be neutral; the property OF no nation, and
thus be an auxiliary language 20 the
world, without discounting any idiOm-
the cosmopolitan needs demand this
essence OF the romanee-reutonic roots SO
systematized. which is proving its eff
cheney by some twenty years applica-
ton. But nevertheless, the orthography
OF the Rusiish Language must be simple
fled. thus saving valuable time and brain
power.
