SCHOOL NOTES.
Grange Hall.
Marcia Davies, teacher.)

SFduSG F1dils
Marcia Davies, teacher.)
Owing to the activity Of Supt. Crump,
the pupils in the public schools Of West
Feliciana are taking a vital interest in
the five hundred words to be used in
the spelling tests, or examinations, to
be held March 26th. Interest in spell
ing is growing on all sides, and our
boys and girls are industriously copy
ing words and making sentences to get
the meanings of the words to be used.
Not to be outdone by the large schools,
the pupils at Grange Hall, Rogillioville,
are determined to make good show
ing. The teachers there don't neglect
the usual aspect of spelling and the
lblackboards show long lists of words
daily. At recent spelling match some
Of the students showed such facility
that they couldn't be Spelled down. "
Misses Dorothy Fleming, Sadie Bow
man and Mildred Rogillio held the floor
so long, that the teacher had to resort
to the difficult words in the regular
spelling-book-words with French pro-
nunciation, and catchy words - but
this had no effect upon the spoilers,
who with eager faces and flushed
cheeks held their own until some
minutes after the regular hour for dis
missal. The teacher finally said the
next spelling match had better be held
in the morning in order to give such
banner spoilers longer period to test
their skill.
The interest in spelling is not con-
fined to the higher grades-not by any
means. The younger ones are all at it.
Fourth, fifth, and sixth grades are also
hard at work. The mother of an en-
Iterprising family where members are
all interested in school work, laughing
ly said that she couldn't keep her
dining-room table clean. The younger
children found it such fine place to
write long lists of words with chalk!
"I'll have to get some large surface for
their ambitious activity" she said. ut
would never do to check their enthusi-
asm. Oh, yes, know some mothers
would think the appearance of the
table of more concern than the de-
velopment of their children's minds;
but Pm not that sore of mother. The
interest is catching, and l enjoy it as
much as they do"
If there are any teachers around that
wear hats they will gladly lift them
to mothers like this!
There's a new verse to America, as
follows
My country It's of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee we tell;
Land of the learning test,
Danish the unlearned guest,
Till all, from east to west,
Know how to spell!
