The results of spelling test which was given in all the grades in all the schools of Norwich, the same test that has been given in S4 American cities with the very satisfactory showing that in all the grades except the fifth the pupils of this town spell better than those who have taken the Ayres test throughout the country.
 A Spelling Yardstick.
 How well do our pupils spell? Dr. Leonard P. Ayres of the division of education of the Russell Sage founda- tion has recently constructed a stand ard or yardstick whereby the degree of anyone's spelling ability may be def- nitely determined.
 During the past few years there has been 8 decided effort toward making education more definite. We already have @. scale for measuring the quality of handwriting, English composition and standards for measuring ability in arithmetic By means of this new scale children of the different grades in any community may be tested as to their spelling ability.
 In selecting the 1000 words used in constructing the scale, Dr. Ayres chose those which are most commonly used and which should form a foundation vocabulary for pupils in the schools. These words were selected from a tab ulatiOn of some S6S, 000 words written by nearly 2,500 different persons, more than two-thirds of the material con- sisting of personal and business let ters.
 The words are grouped in columns on the scale. The location of the 1000 words which appear on the scale was determined by an investigation in which the words were spelled by some 10000 children in S4 American cities.
 During the week of June ', 1915, @ test of 20 words which were selected from the 1000 word list was given un- der the direction of the superintend- ent to all the pupils of the grades ex- cept the first grade. No drill work has been done during the year upon the Ayres list of words.
 The words used for the test in grades 2-5 were: l. nine; 2, face; 8, ride: A. tree; 5, stick; 6, white; 2, spent; 8, foot; g, blow; 10, block; II, spring; F, river; 13, cut; 14, strong; Is, free; Is, lake. IT, went; IS, away; t9, came; 20, Monday.
 The words used for the test of grades 6-S were: 1, guess; 2, argu- ment; 8, volume; 4, summon; 5, acci- dent; 6, invitation; ', accept; 8, asso- ciate; g, various: 10, national; II, busi- ness; 12, minute; 13, celebration; 14, refer; 15, ought; 16, conference; r, Wednesday: IS. victim; 19, recent; 20, impossible.
 The results of the test showed that all of the grades in the town except the fifth attained a standing higher than that required by the Ayres stand ard. The fifth grade lacked only two
