PURPOSE TO KEEP ORDER.

Washington, June 11.-Absence of

cises of that portion of the fleet which

aspect Of Cuban affairs soon will be

FEW CONTESTS
FOR DEMOCRATS

TION AND NOT OF BEARING
OF CANDIDATES.

decided by the democratic national

at 9.23 a. m. His body was laid on

Bad Spelling.

Surprise is frequently expressed be-
cause there are so many school children
who are bad spoilers. but there is sub
stantial reason for it. In Kansas very
few OF short list of words were spelled
correctly by ll2 schools and college
students. Now these pupils are not
taught the way their fathers and moth
ers were. Under the old public school
system there were spelling bees in the
schools and the pupils took pride in ex-
ceiling.
Under the spelling bee system child
rem between the ages Of s and IL can
acquire quite large vocabulary by the
practice Of spelling words of several
syllables. This rising generation is full
Of poor spoilers. but it is not their fault.
for little attention is paid to that ac-
complishment. IL would be well for all
teachers to put their pupils through a
course Of spelling every few days. and
also TO teach them TO read aloud. Read
ing, writing and spelling should go hand
in hand. Those lacking these accom-
plishments are not far removed from
the illiterate class. = Boston Globe.
