PfOULIAR ENGLISH SPELLING. Mt Difficult mt All Sritemi to A*- ?? qmlre Except the Chlneae. English spelling is the most un system- ^ c and therefore the most difficult of all hoi items to acquire, except the Chinese, the ie French has not a complete alphabet wb represent all its sounds in a simple and eat rtematio manner, but the French use juj i incomplete and defective Roman &1- . abet much more consistently than we. . ie object of writing is to convey thought. 1)111 i ideal e\stem would allow of the con' ^ pance of thought with the least expendi- to re of energy on the part of both writer plli d reader. cef rhe Bounds of the spoken language ma auld be represented by the simplest, j >st complete and most logical system. iere are in English 40 distinct sounds; distinct letters are needed to represent ^ jm. With such a system the intermina- ^ s difficulty of learning to spell would the tappear, the time spent in printing and the iting unnecessary letters would be saved tw< d the learning of the language by ohil- ^ m and foreigners would be greatly fa- thr itated. There is no valid objection to onetio spelling except the difficulty of Toducing it. The etymological objeo- ^ n is unworthy of serious consideration. *re The etymology, for example, of "soph- the a" (whioh, by the way, does not import coe vise Baying) resides in the real word, ^ t in it> spelling. Any one who knows 3 history of the word would associate it history with it, however it might be "v: jlled. The Philological association fars phonetic spelling. It is, of course, ^ possible to make bo radical a change at bet ce, but it does not follow that the bene- nei 9 of phonetic spelling, the metric system a i any other great improvement will come us in the surest and best way by simply _ ( ,ving the matter to chance. There is a .. idency to shorten spelling, but the bene- *7 ' i to be derived from improvement are great that definite action should be ins cen to secure them early and to make fro > changes in the way that will be most cui aeflcial. Changes for better and for ^ irse will continue to come by chanoe ai j )j have come In the past, but chanoe inge in so important a matter as the 1 iguage of the most enlightened and >st progressive people of the world 103 Duld not be satisfactory.?Self Culture, cot ap] MAN A NONCLIMBER. pi; ?
