For Mayor.

We hear our young friend, Mr..
E. j. Somerville,, spoken of for
Mayor, on the Democratic ticket
at the coming election; and We
trust it is more than talk, for he
would make a most excellent and
popular candidate. and a good
Mayor. We do not believe there
is a man in town who could poll as
large a vote as Mr.. SomerviIle, and
should he be the nominee of the
Democratic party, there would be
no question about his election.
He is peculiarly fitted for this
position, because he is a young
lawyer, who understands the law,
and no Jobs or schemes would get
through Council over which he
presided. Let it be Mr.. Somer-
vile. and the people will do the
rest by eIectipg this worthy young
man as Mayor of Point Pleasant
We believe in young men. and TO
young men we must look for push
ing. progressive men. to govern our
town. and help make it what it
ought to be.

Believing that the most rational
method of determining what our
teacllers snigias be e1pscted to ac-
complish would lie IN discovering
what results the more successful
ones had been able TO obtain. ven
tured TO undertake a series Of ne
searches which I hoped might serve
as am initial step toward bringing
this problem to a solution. The
artIcleis intended TO show what our
teachers have accomplished IN spell
ing, and what therefore may be rea-
sonably demanded OF our schools
ON this subject The traditional
standard In spelling is perfection.
But this standard IS unreasonable
and consequently cannot be too soon
abandoned.
Ny researches in spelling were
made In the form OF tests. the mum
ber of children examined reaching
nearly 33, 600. Ny first test consist
ed of a column of 50 words, the sec
ond OF words in sentences and the.
third of spelling as found IN compo-
sitions On directing our attention
TO the results of these tests we are
confronted by a number of interest
ing phenomena The most striking
OF these are: First, that in the vast
majority OF instances the results are
very close. In 10 of the 81 schools
where test was made the averages
ON the second test were from 73. 3 to
77.9 Second, while the results IN
the lower grades OF different schools
showed considera Bile variation. those
in the eighth year classes, whichrep
resent the end of the school course.
were remarkably even. In - OF
Il eighth year grades the aver
ages were from 81 to e2, and in Is
of total of 20 sets of eighth grado
compositions examined for spell
ing the variations were only three
tenths OF 1 per cent, the results "
ing between 50. 1 and 90
These figures become doubly re-
marlable when we conside- that
the 21 schools not only represent IN
stitutions Ia many sections OF our
country, hut that IN addition they
are samples OF schools conducted
under all conceivable conditions.
Further, from pedagogical stand
point. all varieties of schools are In
cluded, some of them belonging 10
the most mechanical, while others
are among the most progressive IN
our country
Do not these results indicate that
In learning to spell maturity is the
leading factor, while method plays
only subordinate part3 And. If
the superiority of the old fashioned
spelling grind cannot be demonstrate
ed, Is it not our duty to save the
child from this grindI Moreover,
as the results prove that beyond a
certain minimum the compensation
for time devoted to spelling is
scarcely if at all appreciable, have
we not here discovered am element
of waste. which, If eliminated.

dfeation Of this view OF the situation
was remark dropped by Senior Abar-

they expected to remain here about q

Euza If the commissions would be able

glance as though to observe whether
his questioner noted the significance
of the reply:
Why" the Spanish commissioner

This was the semi-evasive manner
In which the Spanish diplomat answer

His questioner continued: Then It
has been afirmed that Spain will re-

money offered and make a protest to
