THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thankfulness should have come come
easy to all of US today. So much tent
itself to thankfulness. The morning
broke as sunny and sweet as June. IT
was an outdoor day. California nor
Italy nor any famous climate never
furnished a more beautiful morning.
And above all ii was Thanks giving.
The folks had come home Little
groups showed themselves everywhere.
The college boys in their exaggerated
coats and the high turn on their
trousers cuffs were in force. Father
and mother, bent little and gray with
their years had come TO town this

and his wife and the grandchildren
Mary and her two children had come

THE SPELLING MATCH.
Sioux CITY Journall


The revival OF the old fashioned
spelling bee brings Joy to the hearts Of
those who have felt that in modern
education too little attention Is being
paid to- the common branches and that
the method Of teaching the so called
three RS are not to be compared with
those which were in fashion in the days
OF the Little Red Schoolhouse.
No better answer to the charge that
twentieth century pupils are poor
spoilers could be hoped for than the
remarkable aptitude with which the
boys and girls OF the sixth. seventh and
eighth grades take care of the poly
syllable puxzlers which are hurled at
them by the .pronouncers and the stub
bornness with which they refuse to
capituiate before the unceasing fire Of
these human siege guns.
If these spelling matches may be
taken as criterion Of the general
work IN spelling in the Sioux City
schools, and the Sioux City schools
may be taken as fair sample of mod
ern schools, there Is little need of
worrying as to the results which are
being secured In the way of spelling
Incidentally, il reading and writing
and arithmetic are faring as well as
spelling. there Is no need Of turning in
any general alarm over the three Rs.

ton as tc the necessity OF turning out
