'J1he advocates of simplifying J nglish spelling arc . surprise < 1 to find that their position is not dearly un- un < 1crstood. : Mnny still'suppose that they are ill favol' of so-called "fonetic reform. " 'l'hey arc not. 'J1hcy ne\'er ha\'e advoented any kind of phonetic l'erorm ; anti they do not . intend ever to udvocate it. 'J1hey believe thut the .two peoples thut speak English arc fur too . eonseryative ever to consider any scheme of rm1icalulH1. . violent c111lnge in orthography. 'rhe phonetic reformers - have been able to mak sOl'iolts impres- ers never , , - . . . any , . . . . - sion 9n publie opinion. An this , is really the rcasori , . why the simplified spellolg board wus organized. Phonetic.reform seeme to be impossible ; and ycL something needed. to be done to better our chaotic . and wasteful orthography. What could be done ? All who know anything about the English lunguage are aware that our spelling has been slowly changing [ or the better. O ee upon It lime " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "sun" was "sunne , "hat" was "batte , "era" wl s "aera , "music" was "nmsicke. " At the present time "program" seems' to be oustin ! ? : . 'pro- grmnme" and "catalog" is making headway ngainst "catalogue. " Behind these chm'ges there is to be seen a principle at work-a principle of simplification by getling rid of supcrlluou letters. 'rIlC simplified spelling board was organized with the spcci.ul purpose - pose of aiding und of accelerating this process of simplifying our spelling ; . by omitting useless silent letters. I.t is engaged in helping along u simplification - : plification which would probably take place more slowly-very much more , slowly-c\'en if the board hnd not come into existence. In oJher words , ' it is proposing nothing novel ; it is merely urging the wider and more rapilt' ' applicat.ion of the principle which has already given us "fautasy" instead of "phantasie" und "economic" instead of "acconomieke. " 'l'his process of simplificatiop. of useless silel1t letters is in accord with' : the genius of the langunge. It is not violent and not radical. It is the process which hns recently simplified the spelling of the Germans-who , are our chief commercinl competitors. It is a natural , labor-saving devicc'j It is akin to straightening of the track and the lowering of the grade. which is taking place on our best railroads. It has the approval of the immense limjority of scholars. It is appealing also to the practical common sense of the American business man. The list of 300 simplified spellings has already been mlopte by hundreds of firms and companies throughout the couI1try. It is being tnught in man ) ' of the schools. Indeed , the movement in favor of , Ql-tho- graphic simplicity has been welcomed most warmly by teachers , who hest know how much time is now wasted in learning our present cumbrous' spelling and how that spelling forces children to rely on their memory 601ely , to the disregard of their renson. ; 'I Newsboys , like poele , . , arc born and not made.
