It| is very simple to me now, and is equally simple to those who attempt to learn i The system is a combination of the ola | Isaac Pitman system and one of my own. It is a well-gnown fect that the Pitman system does not spell ovt the language, but its interpretation depends larzely.on | the fact that its lines convey to the! writer the idea that certain sounds have been made by the voice, and a combina- tion of these sound lines 2o to make una word. Intakine the word “*practice’’ by | the Pitman system the outlines would be ) r——Kkt——s, tue lines conveying those sounds being placed in combination | up the word. “T.e bugbear in the Chinese language | is the fact that a sound made by the voice pitched hicher another and lower still an- | other. This difficuity 1 have overcome by writing the spoken word in its proper key vosition as the notes of muslc are written. I have labored many years in my en- deavor to perfect the system. I bave long | of Christianity, and I am confident that my aystem by which the Cninese language can bs written from its souud by a person totally ignorant of the tongue and re- peated and understood by those con- versant with the language will be of ines- timable value to foreign missionaries. By tne system one can lake say a chapter from the Bible, have it read in Chi- nese, and by taking it down will be able to repeat the sounds so that the words they make will be readily understood by & Chinese, althougn the reader will be in totzl ignorance of the words he is speaking. At the present| time & missionary must spend from six to ten years in China to master the language and become familiar with 6000 characters, the number necessary to know in order to read the Chinese language. This great lavor and waste of time can now be done away with, and great good can be accom- plished. “I have met with great opposition in my endeavor to get my system before the world. Rev. Mr. Masters, who spent sev- eral years of bis liie in C.iinastudying the Methodist Chinese missicns on this coast, has been my greatest opoonent. Me is of the opinion that there is no merit in the system, and has often informed me that such is his beliet, but he has never given me an opportunity to explain 1t to him. I was ofien desirous of explaining it to him, but he was and is so confidgent that it is valueless, though he knows nothing about it, that he would never grant me a brief audience. A num- ber of the most inteliectual Chinese have informeda me, however, that I have made a marvelous discovery, and afier repeated trials I am confident that their belief is the true one.” At present Mrs. Barrett is explaining her system to the Chinese Salvatonists at 815 Sacramento street. So desirous is she to do the Coristian world, and incident- ally the world of neathens, a benetit she will instruct all wno desire to study her system free of chargein the Chinese Sal- vation Army rooms on Sacramento street every day Dbetween the nours of Zand 7 P M. has been in office since the early partof the current year.
