Furst Fonetic Redur 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The remedy for this evil is a phonetic alphabet, that is, one in which each letter has one sound, which it invariably represents. By the Pho netic method of spelling — as has been proved by actual experiments that which is so difficult by the Romanic method, becomes easy and pleasant, and is the work of a few weeks instead of years. With respect to the application of a phonetic alphabet to the English language, Dr. Franklin, than whom it would be difficult to find a more common sense, practical man, has said, sooner or later it must be done.
