FRANK CRANE. |* I have just been trylng to learn (how to write my name in Chiness Crane in that tongue i® Tsury, It is written ‘in one ideograph, ie. practically in one Jetter, or rather, picture. This, however, it takes some jtwenty strokes to make. When the :Chinese gentléman, who was instruct- ing me, makes it, the result seems quite handeome, at least decorative But when I try t6 make it, it looks though some one had spilled a basket of kindling over Ahe back yard. It is composed of some twenty sep- arate strokes. There are In Chinese goodness knows how many of euch charaoters, several thousand of them. Think of the time wasted by youth {in_learning these characters, time that might be something useful. > 070 [0 doing It is a good example of the bunk usually called education. For a Chi- nese o get acquainted with thirty or forty thousand of these chicken tracks is supposed to be cducated. He has only learned about thirty or forty thousand puzzles. But we need not look down upon the Chinese. We are doing the same |sort of thing. I am not disposed-to set myself up above the Chinese when I think of the endless hours I have put in learning “a little Latin and less Greek,” French, Itallan, Spanish. Russian, German and Swedish, to say {nothing’ of the two or three systems of shorthand and two or three kinds of typewriting. may have got a nickel's worth or 50 of benefit from all this, but in the main I resent the sort of world where a man has so many artificial bunkers put up to cause such infinite toil, and useless as he plays the game of culture and of life, Lord! how the Past rides the Pres- |ent, like the Old Man of the Sea upon |the back of Sinbad the Sailor. As far as that {s concerned what a deal of rubbish we carry along in the English language. A simple phonetic alphabet of twenty-five or thirty letters would enable us to ex- |press any English word In such a jway that the pronunciation could not possibly be mistaken. Think of the years of useless labor this would take off the backs of the children! A simple alteration in the calendar would make it 8o that any given date of the month and day of the year |would always fall upon the same {week day. and no®more printed cal- jendars would be necessary. The metric system Is already at hand to do away with the Idiotic pounds, shilling and vence, ounces, |grams, acres, leagues, knots and {stones. but we are too bull-headed {to change. And the funniest thing about the whole problem is the sentiment that people lug in to defend these silly old {practices. They love the spelling of {such words as phthisic and cough |But there were people who loved slavery, and lament the passing of the picturesqueness of that rotten {institution. | So 1 suppose the Chinese love the lwhy they make the word Tsuru, {and nave a real sincere affection for ithis mass of strokes that looks like jthe front window of a laundry shop.
