Dr. Danton is 5 with an extensive voc abulary, thoroughly interested kis hear ers in the subject which he made a complete study, He was in troduced by Dean H. T. Colen the lecture was given under the pices of the Faculty of Education. Ip. introducing the spe. aker Dr. Coléman mentioned that this was the first time such a lécture had by ment % One of events man thd he of has aus been given here.. The first thing that Dr. Danton spoke of the general misunder- standing of the movement that exists inthe minds of a great many ple. When the real. purpose 'of movement is studied is found to be principles. which in was peo- the and understood it based on practical must work out time, and this 'organi- zation was working with the = object of {bringing this about rapid- themselves more ¥ he newspapers had had a great in fluence on the novement, and in con versation with a Whig representative the of the lecture the speak- stated his reasons for taking such a strong objection to the position that several American papers had taken to the movement. An organ- ized movement, mysterious rea- was working against the Sim plified Spelling Board, and was ae tually buying large nepwspapers "knoek" their work and efiorts editorials. Wor this reason Danton "had reasons for taking ob- jection to the ~ way the newspapers have expressed an opinion of the movement. They made statements that absohitely untrue. In with his subject, the speaker that the English lan guage it is written is, with the exception of the Welch, the worse of all languages, speaking phonetically. | The spelling was illogical with the | pronunciation and a good speller was not necessarily a sign that a man had been well educated. Correct spelling was like correct social habits. From an early age the children are taugh correct manners and when they grow up they naturally fall into these ways and behave themselves correctly. This is no credit to the child, because he has been taught these principles and the, carrying out of them is automatic with him. With spelling it is the same, and 'the child is taught to spell "believe" and "receive"" in the right way and no reason is given, for there--is---none,--why--the i" -and- the "e" are in reversedepositions in the | two words. Some people at close er for a son, to by br. were dealing said as have said that spelling | should not*be simplified because the etymology would be lost. On the one hand this , is not true and on the ,other it makes no difference, as the derivation of a word is of very little consequence, - 'Nurse' is derived from from the French word "nourice" and vet for the above reason people ob ject to spellingroffice "'ofise," which is as it is pronounced. From an economic standpoint the simplified' spelling movement was prac tical. In a Russian newspaper, where it was given a thorough trial, ome- tenth of the space was,saved by the elimination of useless letters. In closing his address Dr. Danton gave as examples of words which are usually written with extra and use- less letters. The words given were : Program, 'catalog, pedagog, decalog, thru, thruout, ' tho, 'altho, thoro, thoroly and thorotare. A SILENT PRISONER. Russian Could Not Speak One Word Of English. As a rule people charged with an offence in the Police Court have a great deal to say. Tuesday morn- ing the police had a prisoner before the magistrate who did not say a word, for the reason. he could not speak English. He is a Russian,' and when the charge of being drunk was read to him he just looked around the room in a puzzled man- ek a Some person suggested that Con- stable Timmerman, the veteran of | the police force, who is well up in two or three languages, be called to speak to the man, but it was stated | that "Nick" had tried to make an im- pression on the without SUCCEess.
