The State Board of Education through its secretary~ David Kirby,, requested representatives from each of the colleges to meet in Charleston on Jan. 19, to djscuss the plan. Everett Withers, who has edited the catalogue here for the past two years, attended the meeting. .

FLIT FOR ORA TORS

Happy days will be here for all students of English every­where and especially for th" freshman classes at Glenville State Teachers Colleg~. if C. K. Ogden of Magdalene Col­••ge, Cambridge, succeeds in getting his "Basic English" · lldopted as the universal language.

Think of it! Only 850 words aside from technical terms; !ewer than a score of verbs--eighteen, to lie exact. All the ~ther verbs one needs are made up of combinations of these with modifying adverbs and prepositions. For example, if

. one wants to say· "ascend" r.nd it is not one of the eighteen, one just says "climb up." The Herald Tribune, commenting in an editorial, says. there is a certain stiffness and monotony • bout it. Everyone can easi: y acquire it, the Tribune believes, exce.pt an English-speaking person!

Ogden says that certain tendencies in American speech today conv.ince him that Anglo-American co-operation is imi portant. He goes further and says his study of American speech has been most helpful to him. One wonders if he means our own system of basic English-"Oh yeah!; 0. K.; You' re telling me!; Is my fece red!" When one comes to think of it--what do w~ neeJ with basic English ?

There's one other feature, besides what it may mean to the ukiddies," that may prove a genuine boon and 'rid us of <Jae form of pest. That is, that while it expresses an idea clearly al'd concisely enough, it really is necessary to have an idea tO express. No more will it be possible for the would· be public speaker to stand in public places and ·by uttering a atring of platitudes . wi.th. an occasional "worth while" and ".llong that line" thrown in, fQol either himself or any of his llearers into believing that ne has really said something. Nor will the politician, who would "be all things to all men" be able to dissemble from both sides of his mouth, but he must come straight out and say what he mt!ans, if by any chance he does mean snything at all. -

After all it sounds better and better, UriF>m.o1:e one con­•iders it, so perhaps we hac! better ooltaborate with Mr. Og­:len and help hasten the adoption of "Basic English."
