In$past years complaint has been
rife among employers that many
young people otherwise well educated
are deficient in spelling. The board
of agriculture and Supt. George w.
Davies, North Freedom, of the educa.
ton department, devised the state
spelling contest with series of pre-
liminary competitions in the towns
and counties as an incentive to direct
attention to spelling, and with remark
ably satisfactory results. list of
5000 words was prepared and by early
summer the preliminary contests were
in progress in three-fourths of the
counties.
In order to confine the good work
to the rank and file of pupils none who
holds common school diploma or a
diploma of graduation from the eighth
grade of a state graded school is al
lowed to compete. In order for a
county winner to be eligible in the
state competition, contests must be
held in at least fifty per cent of the
towns in a county and at least fifty
per cent of the schools in each town
must be represented in the town con,
test. Also at least fifty per cent OF
the towns must be represented in the
county contest. County or district
contests must be under the super.
vision of the county superintendent
of schools. The state contest at the
fair will be in charge of Supt Davies.
Competitors in the state contest will

1t has been suggested that an In
fantry post be established at Wash
lngton, u. c., ana thar the 25th IN
fantry be assigned to it permanently.
On account OF race prejudice the local
interests have frequently protested
against the ~stationing of the 25th In
fantry at various posts. These pro-
tests have not been confined to South
ern localities, out have come from
the n~eighbornood OF northern posts
where colored regiments have been
stationed. The claim is made that
the 25th Infantry, or any Of the other
colored regiments, would receive bet
ter treatment in the District Of Co
lumbia than at any other station.
There is a large high-class colored
population in the District which
would give the members of a colored
regiment a circle of society in which
they could mingle without any preju-
dice. For some time it has been in
sisted that the Infantry should have
a representation in the vicinity Of
Washington, and it is suggested that
this would be the solution of the
problem.
