Elementary Spelling Book is becoming powerless.<br />
There are a great many school books in use in this country that would<br />
be .invaluable but for the variety of the systems of othography and .orthoepy<br />
upon which they are based. There is no necessity of their being withdrawn<br />
from use. Let a universal standard be adopted, and they can be easily revised<br />

"I was sorry to perceive that the commi ttee appointed last spring by<br />
the Common School Convention of Cuyahoga County, to recommend a series<br />
of school books for common use, paid no attention to the incongruities<br />
be.tween different authors, but recommended some books based upon one<br />

peach is in partial bloom - and the meadow is donning a verdant covering.<br />
$pch is the middle of May, 1838. (verbatim) (1)<br />
2253 - H&G Oct. 6; ed: 2/1 - The past season has been one of the old<br />
fashioned sultry summers of 1819 and 20, with the addition of an unparalleled<br />

and more blighting to the prospects of the settler than ever before<br />

"The summer of 1838 will long be remembered by the pioneers of the<br />
