An artificial language may be more regular, more perfect, and easier to learn than a natural one.-Max Muller.The world is spinning fast down the grooves of change. The old disorder changeth. Haply it is yielding place to new. The tongue is a little member. It should no longer be allowed to divide the nations.Two things stand out in the swift change. Science with all its works is spreading to all lands. The East, led by Japan, is coming into line with the West.Standardization of life may fittingly be accompanied by standardization of language. The effect may be twofold-Practical and Ideal.
