The Rutland Spelling Match.

Editor Rutland Globe Il see some one
has been weak enough to reply to the effu-
sion from Castleton in regard to the SPELL
ing match, and wonder that not word
was said in regard to the favoritism shown
the scholars by requiring each individual
to spell the same number Of words while
he remained on the stage. Were the sides
striving against each other as corporate
bodies or was not each individual on each
side doing his best against every other per-
son on each side to obtain the prize and
hence should not every individual spell
the same number of words while he con-
tinued in the lists ? Does the prize won
by Miss Worcester belong TO Miss Worces-
ter, or to Castleton and Rutland as a cor
poration, conending against the scholars
OF the high school Do the prizes won by
young Merrill and Miss Southland belong TO
them as individuals, or to the high school
as one body? The answer that must be
given to the above questions ought to salts
fly every candid mind that the judges were
right in their decision and that the charge
of manifest favoritism," Is a weak and
trivial one. FAIR PLAY.
