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
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
ect along certain lines is more acute
than thu 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-
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an ac-
curate knowledge of spelling. this dem
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administra
ton is to be commended upon the eff
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.

Germ shipped an average of 10000 tons
of finished product during 1906 and
1907, and we were obliged to receive
more than $50, 900 tons of iron to fur
nish this, plus enormous quantities of
coke, coal and other supplies, can
safely claim to have shipped in and
out 100000 tons a year. and as there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material. or any part of it. without
having a 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 $4,000

scented in the neighborhood of $40, 000,-
O0O This SO 1000, 900 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

My Illinois plants produced 60 per
cent of this amount, or $6,0O0,000
year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
capacity. Therefore, there was $3.O00,-
900 year less in distribution because
of a 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 non
purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the $1,000 900 a
year for three years. That is the rea-
son why have a 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

of the cost Of car and that there
were nine other units similarly affect.

tributary to Chicago, anyone can see
how important 1t is to his individual

the freight for any material he will
need. If he is receiving increased
