To the Editor, Dally Nebraskan:
Coming across your editorial of
March 10, I should like to express my
. pinion on the subject or simplified or
(as it Is sometimes called) reformed
spelling. I shall take Hp my brief dis
cussion from the point of view of those
xvho, like me, have been learning and
using English as the sole basis of In
struction In the Philippine public
schools. Consequently, I shall have to
ureas the advantage of simplified
spelling due to the case with which
to master new words and to the prac
ticability of using them.
Reformed spelling, In so far as it
does not trample on the rules of etym
ology and correct usuage, should be
adopted. Words that Jiave suffered so
much change In their life history that
with the original meaning offer tho
best material for simplification. And
Inasmuch as the root of words is sel
dom resorted to, or it ever used as the
basis of explanation, it is not entire
ly reliable, certain gradual changes
in establishing a closer connection bo
tween sounds and forms of letter com
bination may jujst as well be adopted
and used now. Taking the simple case
of "tough," and "'through," we meet
here three different sounds for the
combination "ough." What baffles the
beginning speller (foreign or native)
is- how to associate the same combina
tion with three different sounds. Why
not adopt some way of bringing about
a gradual reduction in the number cf
sounds for a certain letter combination
and a close connection between form
and sound? Such a change, however,
should start with prominent writers

SIGMA TAU WILL ERECT

The Sigma Tau, honorary Engineer- j
tag Fraternity, is planning to erect a j
memorial tablet In honor of the grad
uates and former students in the Enai
teering College who died in military
wrvice. The committee in charge con
sifts of O. D. Smalley, chairman, C. S.

whether the complete list has been tab

ether names which should be on this
list is asked to notify the Alumni
Secretary, Annis S. Chaikin. The fol

ship, a saxophone solo by Miss Fanny
Hutchins. and a talk by Miss Cameron,
industrial serrrtarv Of the City Y. W.
C. A., on "Industrial Standards."
The Question for debate was
whether the basis for student mem
bership in the Y. W. C. A. should be
c!.urch membership, as it is at pres
ent, or a personal confession of faith
as is to be voted upon at the next
general conference. Miss Hutton sum
marized the arguments for the for
mer position. Miss Maitland for the
latter.
Miss Cameron told why the Y. W.
C. A. should take a particular inter
est in the achievement of social jus
tice. Both the government and the
church work through the Y. W. C. A.
toward this end; the government be
cause the flexible organization and
power of initiative of the Y. W. C. A.
makes it a very useful aid; the
church, which is committed by the
basic principles of its founder to
champion the cause of social justice,
because the Y. W. C. A. is after all
an expression of the church's activity.
Miss Cameron discussed nine stan
dards necessary for industrial jus-
tice. These standards were auopiea

'QUALITY I KCOXOMY"
"How to meet
your clothing
cost of living"
YOUR clothes will cost you less for a year if
you buy good ones. All-wool quality lasts
longer; looks better. Yoti save because
you buy fewer clothes.
That's our idea here, to sell clothes that
save for our Customers. We sell fewer
clothes to each man-but we sell more men;
that's the point. People like such service
they tell their friends.
Hart Schaffner & Marx make the clothes
you can't find better ones.
Now that the fall and winter clothes are re
duced you can buy exceptional values at a
very low figure.
Hart Schaffner & Marx make suits worth
up to $70, for
$44:-?
