SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
EXPERIMENTS SANCTIONED IN ENGLAND. At the meeting of tho Simplified Spelling Society at University College recently, Professor AYnltir Ripmnn snid tho sanction of the Board of Education had been received for making experiments in the schools in simplified spelling. Jt was necessary.to have a code of spelling which would represent- not dialects, but standard speech of the whole Englishspeaking race. It was hoped that tho American Government could be brought to co-operate with the British Government in bringing this about.
One teacher, where an experiment in the simplified spelling is being inndo, Enid thai: learning to read in the simplified form was a much happier exi>erienco for a child than under the old method. A. number of the pupils, of an average age of six years, gave a demonstration of word-building by the simplified method. All of them would read with facility both.in the old and the new form.
