(By Thomas X. Wilson,

The Seniors are busily engaged in

ulty. The best four of these will be
given by the writer's on the evening
Of graduation. They have also picked

Opera House on the evening of May
=. The play picked is "The Kingdom
of Hearts Content" The cast has

important item that takes lot of
their time is getting their clothes,
and the girls can be heard discussing
them at all times.
The La Solana staff announced
that La Solana would be out in about
two weeks. They claim that it will
be the best book ever put out by the

BAREFOOT BURGLAR
OPERATING HERE

That strange trio of burglars
were operating in this city became
known this morning when c. w. Cur
phey. living at Fourth and Lenrey,
reported the incursion of one of the
trio into his home Monday night
Aroused by the barking of a small
dog, Curphey, who had retired, arose
TO investigate and discovered that the
nocturnal visitor had effected an en-
trance by slashng the screen on the
door and then inserting his hand and
lifting the hook which fastened the
door.
Teh noice created by Curphey as he
moved from room to room apparently
apprised the burglar that his presence
had been discovered and by the time
Cmphey reached the door through
which the entrance had been effected,
the burglar had fled
1t is believed the housebreakers are
experienced crooks, as every possible
avenue Of escape had been opened be
fore the burglar sought to ransack the
Curphey home.
An investigation the following
morning disclosed in the soft earth
about the house the imprints of a
harefooted man and nearby were dis
covered the tracks of another man
and the imprint of high-heeled shoe.
1t is believed woman and a man were
he outposts while the barefooted bur
glar looted the house.
Other reports from residents on the
outskirts of the city Indicate that the
same band are operating in those dis
tricts. The sheriff's office this morn
ing stated that recently they had an
swered a number of phone calls which
stated that men had been seen lurk-
ing about various homes, but by the
time officers arrived to investigate the
proWlers had fled.

DR.. I. P. Ayres, director Of the
Russell Sage Found dation" has for a
number Of years been making a
thoro study Of the subject Of spelling
in the public schools. He has arrived
at some very valuable results by
which the schools are able to test and
measure schools spelling ability
grade by grade.
He has found that so words make
practically one half Of every 100000
words printed in newspapers, in the
English Bible, and in personal and
business letters where the need Of cor
rect spelling is greatest. He has thus
been able to determine the 1000 most
used words in the English language.
Not only this but by spelling tests,
given to 10000 children in "a different
cities, using the 1000 most used
words, he has determined the spelling
difficulty Of these words. This has
enabled him to arrange these words in
groups forming scale by which the
spelling ability Of grades may be
measured.
Every grade in our public schools
has recently been measured by this
scale and the results assertained. In
some instances we find grades that
are above grade in ability to spell In
most cases our grades are just about
where they should be. The tests we
have been giving enable the teachers
to know wherein their grades are
weak. They may thus strive to cor
rect any deficiencies.
There is no doubt but children are
often required to learn to spell many
words that they will not use at all in
later life. How much more sensible
it is to make sure that they first
learn to spell the words which they
will have occasion to use over and
over in their reading as we'll as their
correspondence. Why should fifth
grade child spend energy in learning
to spell word that will be used less
than dozen times in writing a
hundred thounsand words? 1t is a
more serious mistake in spelling to
misspell (which" than it is to mis-
spell "incontrovertible. Most of our
spelling books contain hundreds of
words that the great majority of
children will use but rarely after
they have left school. Then why re-
quire them to spend a great amount
of time on such words.
What is true of spelling is true Of
most Of the subjects pursued in the
public schools. Teachers must be able
to determine what is essential; then
place special stress upon the topics of
real and permanent value.

for Manchester College, gave very
