Excerpt from The N. E. A. Phonetic Alphabet: With a Review of the Whipple Experiments
The experiments with the N. E. A. phonetic key alphabet, conducted by Assistant Professor Whipple, of the Cornell Psychological Laboratory, reported by him in a pamphlet recently issued, have had, with some people interested in the adoption of a scientific phonetic alphabet, an influence so out of proportion to their value and significance, that it seemed a possible service to the cause of education if one were to point out the inadequacy of Dr. Whipple"s tests. The occasion has been made use of to suggest also some of the larger, more serious aspects of the problem. These may appeal to the schoolmen and educators who, as members of the N. E. A., are directly interested and concerned in the success of the alphabet, and aid them to recognize the advantages that may be secured to American schools by the adoption of a scientific phonetic alphabet for educational purposes.
Three appendixes offer information and some suggestions pertinent to the discussion.
