BAD SPELLING.

The inability of the rising generation
to spell correctly is giving parents and
cd icators much u for complaints
which is finding its way into the
newspapers with inca easing frequency.
The other day DR.. James A. James,
professor Of history at Northwestern
University at Evanston, ILL.,, returned
to his class their examination papers
with the remark that so many of them
contained spelling SO bad that many
would not be tolerated in the average
third grade schools of the city. Some
| Of the Efforts Prof. james concluded
are really laughable. the spelling that
is done IN the uni versities generally to-
day is surprisingly poor"
The reason for this caustic criticism
Prof. James finds in the method I'M
ployed i, the public schools and high
schools. We are not fully acquainted
with the system employed in illinois,
but we take it that it has become
known as the word method by which
a child is made to spell before-hs learns
the alphabet. The absurdity of this
ought to be apparent t. any one, yet it
appears that it is prevalent in most
cities-right here in Nashville for one
WHAT this generation needs is a re-
turn to the blueback spellel of our faith
ers time a dimunition of ''fads'' and q
renaissance of hard common sense
Nashville Tenn s;ean.
The bad spelling referred ia
above seems prevalent through
out the country and is attracting
The attention of every body ex.
.ept the school teachers, and the
warning of the press has as ye'
failed to reach them.
The mind of the child is weight
ed down with the extra task oil
learning dioc-itics and other non
essentials before the spelling is
finally fastened in its mind. Tn
less the teacher can be reached
very soon. all rules will have tt
be abandoned and every mar
shall be his own standard anc
authority on spelling.

The silliest twadlle used by
the Vardamanites is that he did
not have a square deal in the eau
CTS. Why did he not have a
square deal? He had massed his
Gro vd and went into the caucus
perfectly sanguine of success. If
hi did not have votes enough to
no innate him that was his mis-
fortune. and just why his fol-
lowing should cry out fraud is
hard to understand. Did he rot
have an equal chance with Kyle.
Alexander, Street and even Per-
cy? He certainly had his follow
ing more closely masaed and
drilled than any of the other can
didates. Since he did not have
enough votes to nominate him, it
is the baby act to cry out no
chance! fraud! That there was
a combination against him under
the leadership Of some Of the
most staunch and patriotic citi-
zens Of the State; the peers and
many Of them the superiors of
Mr.. Vardaman. is a clear indica-
ton that there was a strong de-
mand on the part of the think
ing people that he should not
represen t tLtm in the United
States Senate. He has q large
following, many Of whom are not
thinkers for themselves. They
let somebody else do their think
ing and If the thinking is along
the line Of their prejudices they
make an easy following. West
