Reform in Spelling

The N. Y. Independent is publishing articles by Dr. March in favor of reform in spelling. The articles are written in fonetic style. A partial reform is adopted by the New York Home Journal, Utica Herald, and Chicago Tribune. Their rules are to drop ue in words like dialogue; drop final e in such words as definite; drop final te in words like quartette; drop final me in words like programme; change ph to f in such words as phantom, telegraph, &c.
