BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held in New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior to Their
Brothers,

The result of the spelling contests
in the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro-
ficiency of the girls. practically all Of
the victors being members of the
gentler sex. Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on in the press
and at gatherings where educational
subjects were discussed.
So far as our information goes there
have been no contests to determine
the pupils in other branches of study,
but 1t would be interesting to know
If this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies. or if they are
confined only to particular branches
Doubtless this result is due in part to
the fact that the female mind ripens
at an earlier age than is the case with
the masculine mind. although there is
little doubt that the feminine intel
lect along certain lines is more acute
than the masculine, which would seen
to justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women
In view of the growing number OF
young women that are going into po-
,itions as stenographers, typewritists
and other positions requiring an ac-
curate knowledge of spelling. this dem.
,nstrated proficiency is most crafty.
ing. The public school administra.
lion is to be commended upon the ef-
forts 1t has made to improve the
spelling of the public school pupils
and the triumphant girls to be con-
graduated upon their easy victory
over the boys.

dend paying stock. For clearer def
milton, the average earnings should be
based upon the entire stock. and not
upon the best paying portion of 1t. un-
less there is some reason why the
$2.5O0.OO0.O0O representing the "a per
cent should not have received any divi-
dends at all.
In the final paragraph of the edito-
rial 1t is stated that l should not be
allowed to pose as business man,
having no interest in common with
the shippers" Inasmuch as my con-
Germ shipped an average of 100000 tons
Of finished product during 1906 and
1907, and we were obliged to receive
more than 100000 tons of iron to fur
nish this. plus enormous quantities of
coke, coal and other supplies, I can
safely claim to have shipped in and
out 100000 tons year, and as there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material, or any part of it, without
having revenue from it, an increase
of 10 cents ton on my hauling charge
would amount to $4,000 and, there
fore. / have business" interests in COM
mon with other shippers" The 100000
tons of finished product shipped repre-
sented in the neighborhood of 100000
900. This $10,000,0O0 represented most
ly labor. with the exception of the
cost of the ore and coal in the mines.
All the balance was made up of wages
and profit on the different conditions
of the raw material until it was fin
ished product.
My Illinois plants produced 60 per
cent of this amount, or $6,000,000 a
year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
capacity. Therefore, there was $3,00O,-
900 a year less in distribution because
of corresponding shrinkage in sales.
AS most of our iron and coal comes
from Illinois. this 100000 year was
not distributed in Chicago, as would
have been the case had we worked on
the same output that we did in 1906
and 1907. And a great deal of that
100000 which was not paid was
taken out of the business firms situ-
ated in or near Chicago by the nom
purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the S3,000,000 a
year for three years. That is the rea-
son why l have right, as business
man, to deprecate any unfair or un-
called-for obstacles that are placed in
the way of my business and the hun
dred other varieties of business in this
country that are affected by the money
put into circulation by the railroads.
When it is further considered that my
business constitutes but 10 per cent
of the cost of car and that there
were nine other units similarly Affect
ed. most of which would have been
tributary to Chicago, anyone can see
how important 1t is to his individual
interests that the railroad companies
should have ample funds to make these
improvements and purchases, and will
realize how comparatively easy it will
be to stand reasonable advance on
the freight for any material he will
need. If he is receiving increased
orders.
