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 It would be interesting to know
il this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies, or II 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 tho 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 numper vi
young women that are going into po
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an &C
curate knowledge of spelling. this dem.
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administers
ton is to be commended upon the eff.
forts 1t has made to improve the
smelling of the public school pupils
and the triumphant girls to be con
graduated upon their easy victory
over the boys.

dends at all.
In the final paragraph Of the edito-
rial it Is stated that I 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, l 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 1t. without
having a revenue from 1t. an increase
of 10 cents a 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-
scented in the neighborhood of 10000
900. This $1O.0O0.OO0 represented most

cost of the ore and coal in the mines

year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
capacity. Therefore. there was $3.000.-
900 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 great deal Of that
100000 which was not paid was
taken out of the business firms stu
ated in or near Chicago by the nom

country that are affected by the money
put into circulation by the railroads.
When 1t 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 1t will
be to stand a reasonable advance on
the freight for any material he will
need, IL he is receiving increased
orders.
