as a relief to this city as we'll as
all Germany. where people, whose
curiosity at first was stimulated by
the unusual murderers, quickly were
overcome with revulsion and horror
by the disclosures.
The verdict was a foregone con
clusion, Hartmann having con-
fessed and implicated Grams. The
murderer killed the boys in his hovel
by the River Seine, by tearing open
their Threats with his sharp teeth.
He and Grams sold the victims

Simplifed Spelling.

The cause Of simplified spelling was
given considerable publicity during
the N. E. A. convention, and there is
much interest in this matter. Many
scholars are favorable to spelling re.

ters that are not sounded and which
would formulate rules by knowing
which the fairly well instructed man
could determine how a word is spelled.
Only persons with a talent for spelling.
or who have prodigious memory and
have specialized in spelling, can be
classed as good spoilers. The average
man once outside the limit Of his small
vocabulary makes a mess Of spelling
or turns many times to q dictionary.
But the cause Of spelling reform moves
slowly. A trustee Of the simplified
spelling board has said that more than
600 newspapers and periodicals in the
United States are now using simplified
spellings Of half a dozen words, and
that the number Of such publications
IL increasing. "Catalog," program
end "theater" are generally used. but
relatively few persons have progressed
as far as thru and "thoro"
The American Pathological Associa.

simplified spelling in 1875, and that
declaration was closely followed by
one from the Pathological Society Of
London. Those societies in 1883 formu-
