School Spelling Day"

The following letter has
received from State Superintendent
T. II. Harris, and is self explana-
tory:
March the goth, 1915, has been
designated by this department as
Spelling Day, and all of the schools
Of the state VIII berequested to Job
serve it. Tests in spelling VIII be
prepared.
Al, tests to be written, teacher
pronouucilg the word and the
children writing with pencil.
Each principal should report to
Superintendent the names of all
children making 90 percent or
more in the tests, naming the group
in which the children belong; and
the Superindent should report to
;he State Superintendent the names
# I'll children in the different
groups making 100 percent. To
those scoring 100 percent, Ger
tiCCatcs viii be issued bearing the
seal % the Stale Superintendent Of
Education, and signed by thcGov-
ernor, tie State Superindeat, The
President of the Parish Board, and
The Principal Of theSchool.
Counting confidently upon your
hearty cooperation, | am, sin
cerely Yours, r. II. HARRIS,
/ State Superintendent.
This is a continuation Of the
CRUSADE against poor spelling i'll
/ this state and | am sure that the
teachers and patrons appreciate the
interest and assistance given by the
State Department and will endeavor
to carry out the instructions above.
In order that the interest of parent
may be enlisted, | shall have the
newspapers of the Parish publish
a list of the three groups. The of
fer of certificate by the department
certainly ought to appeal to the
children and, I believe, will stinu-
late interest in school work. Thi,
may be a means for keeping the
average attendance higher, if prop
erly directed. Yours very truly

The Editorial

i
figured it out that the $500
newspapers in this country that
publish daily editions, sup
ply the reading public with co.
900 editorials a day. Naturally,
The Journal, itself a specialist
in the art editorial, regards this
as a blessing, but, it fears, an
unappreciated one, 1t thinks
the first business of an editorial
is to get itself read and proposes
the conundrum as to how many
of these 10000 binding
flashes of enlightenment are so
honored. A more pertinent
question would be as to how
many are worth reading. In
place where space is valuable,
where conclseness is necessarily
science, and brevity is the soul
of wit, The Journal is disposed
to argue some are not worth
reading and that many more are
not read at all. 1t has properly
diagnosed certain class of
editorials as machine made
having no soul and therefore no
inspiration. and gives tribute to
the intelligence of a public that
has spotted this variety and gives
it the go-by. There are some
editors in North Carolina who
never permit their paper to go
from the press without carrying
at least one editorial that is
worth reading and that is read.
1t is a habit of some readers of
certain papers we could name to
dismiss a discussion with a re-
mark to the effect that they
would wait to see what their
paper says about it, The paper
that carries editorials of that
stamp is in position to answer
the question as to whether edi-
torials are read. The Observer
could also name certain papers,
both daily and weekly, in this
/ State that have established an
editorial reputation that goes to
the affirmative side in the
debate on this question Of read
ing editorials, But after all, it
depends largely on the subject
and how it is handled.
In the campaign for the consti-
tutional amendments nearly every
paper in the State carried edi-
torials in explanation OF the
measure, but the results of the
election proved that the people
did not read the constitutional
amendment editorials. If they
had read and understood and
understanding would have fol-
lowed the reading the result
would have been different : at
least it has been so contended.
But the quickest way to find out
if editorials are read, is to
print one stepping on somebody S
toes. The desired information
may not come by wireless, but
it will come second best in speed.
We could close this article with
single sentence that would bring
proof that it had been read by a
dozen or more men who would be
too mad to deny having read it,
even were they so inclined.
