A MEDAL FOR THE BEST sPELLER.

The Texas University I~nterscholastic
league has announced a campaign design
ed for the purpose Of stimulating interest
in the study of spelling on the part of
Texas school boys and girls. The program
includes, a series of spelling contests to be
held by the various public schools through
out the state, eliminating in one grand
spelling bee to be held by the league. The
contestants admitted 10 the final match
will include those who have won the cham
pionship in the tests held in their Owl
counties respectively. Thus every school
child in Texas will have the opportunity to
win the honor of being acclaimed rs the
champion speller Of the state.
The Herald is heartily in sympathy with
this movement. The ability to spell well is
nothing to boast of, but to spell Incorrectly
is something to be ashamed of. This i
a maxim which every student should paste
inside the cover Of his or her text book Of
photography. Only great men, whose
achievements atone for any minor short
comings on their part. or immensely rich
people, whose money, of course, covers a
multitude of sins-sometimes. that is
can afford to spell incorrectly. The rest
Of us ordinary mortals simply must spell
correctly or plead guilty to the charge Of
ignorance. In fact, it may be said truth
fully hat even the very great or the very
wealthy man or woman should feel il a
duty to learn to spell correctly, if merely
for the sake Of setting a good example to
the growing generation. In other words,
il is a duty which j. incumbent upon all
of MS to learn to spell every word We use.
That such is the ambition of every boy
and girl attending the schools in Cameron
county, The Herald feels sure, and We
trust sincerely that this county may have
the honor of producing the champion
speller Of Texas. In order to encourage
every school boy and girl in the county to
take part in this contest, The Herald here
by offers a handsome gold medal to the
boy or girl attending any Cameron county
school who wins the honor of entering the
final state spelling contest.

The city editor of Tn Herald confesses
he spent some anxious moments of regret
over the solecism committed in it, society
report recently, in the manufacture of such
a linguistic monstrosity as the word
srhythmetically." But he isn't sorry any
more. On the contrary, he Is fully com
pensated for the faux pas committed by
our society report since it has afforded
our esteemed morning contemporary an
idea for a quarter column editorial" We
realize that ideas are none too plentiful
over there.

DIR. Gibson of Denver announced to
the members of the American Associa-
ton Of Clinical Research, at the close
of the recent session Of that body, that
he has evolved a cure for tuberculosis
that in ten years ought to put the dis
ease in the list Of relatively durable all
ments.
The chief reliance of this physician
is the efficacy Of the X-ray to determine
the presence Of the s.ourge in its ear
Hest forms. and in the use of ozone and
static clctririty rs curative agents.
His assertions were backed up by the
record Of only 81 deaths In a total Of
151 eases treated.
. In the opinion of DIR. Gibson. the time
is near when il will be considered a dis
grace for a physician to allow a case Of
tuberculosis of any kind to progress to
an advanced stage. He is further Of the
opinion that a great development Of the
y ray may be expected in the diagnosis

John MOsely Gets Oxford
Scholarship

Durant will have the honor of
having one of its best young
men spend three years in the
great English school, Oxford.
This information was received
here yesterday in a telegram
from Mr.. Moseley to James E.
Mckinney. The telegram stated
that Mr.. Moseley had received
notice from Oxford that he had
successfully passed the Rhodes
scholarship examination, and
that his appointment from Okla
homa was assured. Thus, he
will get to spend three years in
the great Oxford university, and
also will get an opportunity to
tour Europe during the interim.
The scholarship carries with it
the awarding of the sum of
81. 500 per year for the student
for his expenses. The Rhodes
scholarships were made possible
when Cecil Rhodes, the great
English philanthropist, in an en-
deavor to create a greater feel
ing of friendship between this
country and England bequethed
a large sum of money on his
death to an endowment fund to
send worthy young men to the
college. Each State in this
country is entitled to two stu
dents in the Oxford college.
Mr.. Moseley has not stated when
he will leave for Oxford, Eng
land, but it is presumed his de-
parture will be in the near
future.
His many friends here will re-
joice with Mr.. Moseley in his
success. Durant (Okla.) Demo

S, as we know, are apt to vary
considerably in shades of color in the

sact that explains why Wordsworth's

does not quite agree with Carlyle's
impression that his eyes were of q
light hazel, nor this again with the

That's the kind of a town you

And start on a long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you

It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town;
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men

Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everybody works and no

You can raise a town from the
