Of Dr. R. K. Gregory. a member of the Iowa Legislature. In explana- tion of the bill later Dr. Gregory TO KILL THE HOI‘ELESSLY IX- CI'RABABLE. A rvmarkab-le bill to ffogalize the killing of incurable pow-sons suffering great pain and of the hideously de- formed or hopelessly idiotic, has been introduced at the instance of Announcement is made that an or- ganization, including prominent men of ~atIairs as well as leading men of letters. has been formed to urge the simplification of English spelling. This new body is called the Simplified Spelling Board. It will appeal to all who for educational "or practical rea- sons wish to make English spelling easier to acquire. Mr. Andrew Car- negie has generously undertaken to bear the expense of the organization. Mr. Carnegie has long been convinc- ed that English might be made the world language of the future. and thus one of the influences leading toJ universal peace, and he believes that; the chief obstacle to its speedy ad-l’ uption is to be found in its contra-; uictory and diflicult spelling.
