So. finally, our leading educators and literary men have gone straight to the point and have begun a system to simplify spelling. Already ten words have been accepted by the public in their simplified form, and a board known as the Simpli¬ fied Spelling Board has drawn up and circulated a list of three hundred more. Most of us, being poor spellers, are glad to see this little leak in the dike of conventionality, and few will try to stick their finger in the crack and stand up all night to save it: for. if the dike breaks, all will be easy sailing. The Kooltuo has watched this movement eagerly, and has been among the first to accept the modified words. But we have gone further. Being disappointed in not finding several words, which we recommended to the Board for simplifica¬ tion in their list, we have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of presenting them to the public. And in so doing we have chosen a rather unique method. Instead of making a list of words and printing it separately—which would have been too great a shock to most people—we have sprinkled them thru our book, sometimes spelling them the old way. sofaclimcs the new. thinking thus better to get your impartial o pinion, and to show you the sense of the one way and the nonsense of the other. IN THE midst of preparing our material for the press, comes the news of the awful disasters in California—the earthquakes, the tidal waves, the fires—which left a city of 300,000 people in confusion and panic; the day showing an increasing wreck and horror: the night covering the helpless city with blackness, thus doubling the dangers from nature ' s fury and adding those of plunder, rapine and murder. Such calamities cannot pass any of us without making us feel our littleness, the utter insignificance of our efforts, and the Almighty Power of Him who controls all things. We cannot understand these things. We cannot see their wisdom. We have not near the wide horizon line, nor the high view point to rejoice in them. We call them untimely, unfortunate, calamitous. We pity that such things should ever occur, but we dare not say: I his should not have happened.” The Kooltuo wishes to express its heartfelt sympathy to all those in the school, who, by these awful events, have sus¬ tained loss and suffered pain. And to the two sister schools of Berkeley and Stanford we extend sincere sympathy and commiseration in the disasters befallen them. They have been the leading schools of the West, and by their misfortune we are all afflicted. We have sent to each school members of our own and thus feel that we are sharers in their glory; ' and now sharers in their sorrow. Finally, we give sympathy to all who have been afflicted in any way by these events and whom we have been powerless to help. We give them what we are able to give financially and mentally. In their loss we feel for them, and in their brave struggles to overcome their ruin, we encourage and applaud them.
