There are a significant number of spelling amendments, for example the addition of an 's' to 'math' and an 'u' to 'colored', but also adaptations to make the book more readable like the use of 'form mistress' for 'teacher' and the consideration of whether 'the planetary people for Eng. ed. shd. not use American speech.'.
