A BISHOP’S SPELLING.
PLEASE' YOURSELF -METHOD 1 “I have- arrived at the conclusion that it does not matter twopence how you spel] a woi-tl provided everybody knows what it is,” said the. Bishop of Manchester, Dr. Temple, at the annual dinner of the London Head Teachers’ Association. He added: ‘.‘Shakespeare spelt his name four different ways—of course, if he had a banking account it would have worried the cashier, but it did not affect bis use of the English language. If you do not know how to spell a word the only fatal thing is to think. Your only chance is to rush at it. (Laughter.) Of course, if it is only a question of io* or c-i, there l is a simple way' out. You write them both thick nad put a dot between them—and quite right, too. To stop and ponder over such a matter is to bo guilty of the sin of levity—that is; giving, serious , consideration to a thing which does not deserve it.” -
