Excerpt from The Practical Speller: Especially Designed for Use in Commercial Education

The importance of correct spelling can hardly be over~ estimated. Nothing stamps one as illiterate so quickly as poor Spelling. Various attempts have been made to simplify our language and reduce its orthography to a phonetic basis, but as nothing has yet been accomplished in this direction, it remains for us to spell the language as it is, or suffer for our neglect.
