| Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A thorough reform of this monstrous English spelling is in progress, and will prove a priceless boon to countless millions yet unborn, but the children now in school must be taught to spell according to the present standard. The more difficult it is to learn it, the more necessary it is to teach it. Inability to spell correctly is always considered an indication of a lack of culture, although the complaints from our universities, our colleges, our high schools, the press, and the school patrons all indicate that good spelling is rare. |
