A test in spelling list of words
was recently conducted in the high
school. No previous announcement
had been made and hence no prepare
ton on the part of the students.
There were ZIG papers handed in for
correction on the list comprising so

were chosen from list used in the
N. e. A. spelling contest at Cleve'
land, in June, 1908. The average
standing of the entire school was 76
per cent on the basis of 100. 1t may
be of interest to know the list OF
words used, and they are given here
with, Those desiring might test them
selves and see how they compare with
the average high school student OF
today. Please understand that the
pupils had had no opportunity of know
ing anything about the test previous
to the time it was given:
