The Simplified Spelling Board

was org.mi/ed January 19O0, to

prmote, by systematic und con-

tinued effort, the gradual simpli-

cation and regulation of English

spelling. It published its first list

consisting of three hundred words

iu 1906. This was not a list of

merely simplied forms, but a se-

lection of simpler forms already in

good use—namely, in three hundred

out of more than three thousand

words at that time commonlyspelld in two or more wa>s.

The second list, publish! in 1908

contained a considerable number

of simplified spellings that might

be called 'innovations' . But the

simplified forms it contained wer

strictly in accord with the existing

rules and analogies of Euglish

spelling and were for the most

part restorations of simplification

formerly in high literary use.

The third list was publisht in

March, 19i3 which called fourth

the paragral at the heading of

this article. The greater uumber

of these remarks or made by

to in-

million people who like to have

their literature in the old form

That looks to me to be rather

selfish, and we keep the forms

as they ar. There is really no

argument against reform except

merely sentimental argument"

The re 101m is slowly but surely

als, magazines periodicals, colleges

trouble of the lungs. The wisest

thing to do when you have a cold

that troubles you is to get a bottle

dose, and finally the cough will

disappear. O. H. Brown, ot Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wifewas down in bed with an obstinate
