Discloses Lincoln Spelling Troubles College Professor Discloses Study CHARLESTON, 111.7 UP —A college professor made a “very horrid and melancholly disclosier” today about Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe frequently stumbled and misspelled common, every-day words. Nevertheless, he could have spelled down most of the present day high school students and "plenty” of college students, ,even though he had only a year of schooling. Dr. Charles H. Coleman, head of the social science department at Eastern Illinois State College and a Lincoln authority, reached these conclusions after a study of the collected works of Abraham Lincoln, published by Rutgers University in 1953. The 145th anniversary of Lincoln's birth will be observed Friday. Coleman reported that in the 12 years after Lincoln became 22. “he slipped up on a total of 60 words.” “He had trouble with ‘beginning.’ and ‘verry’ threw him 29 times during those 12 years," Coleman said. “He ( had difficulty with some of the same words that get college freshmen down in 1954. “ ‘Confering,’ ‘defered,’ ‘intitled,’ ‘previlege,’ and ‘repeled’ all look familiar to teachers who read freshman themes,” he said. Lincoln once spelled prairie “prairy,” and melancholy J*melancholly," Coleman said. Sometimes he tossed in an extra consonant — “bussiness.” "considderation,” and “immagination." Or he might omit one, as in “horid’ and “intelect.” ‘ “But his prize boner.” Coleman said, “was ‘discolsiers’ for ‘disclosures.’ ” Coleman said he drew two conclusions from a study of Lincoln’s papers for the period from 1830 to 1842: 1 1. Lincoln’s mistakes dropped every year in comparison with the amount of writing he did. 2. He made “very few slips” in writing officials documents, like bills prepared for introduction in the-Illinoislegisiature. “If Lincoln had had 12 years of schooling instead of hardly’ more than one. his spelling mistakes would have been few and far between,” Coleman said. Coleman told of a spelling match in Andrew Crawford’s school in Spencer county, Ind., in 1819, which illustrated Lincoln had some spelling ability as well as sympatjiy for the underdog. A girl named Katie Roby was stumped on the word “defied.” “Katie got through the D-E-F and there she stuck, until a 10-year-old classmate, tall for his age and with a big shock of unruly hair, pointed a finger to his eye,” Coleman said. "That was all the help Katie needed from Abraham Lincoln, and she finished the word correctly and won the spelling match.”
