II we correctly interpret some re-

by DR.. r. p. Marstellar of the veteri-

short course students as one OF the
most effective means OF reducing the
high cost OF living. Hogs constitute
one OF the chief food products OF the

out rigldly sanitary measures and
quarantining farms where an outbreak

FEW PUPILS CAN
SPELL CORRECTLY

II has long been the. contention OF
the Herald that spelling is one OF the
neglected studies In our public
schools. some alleged graduates not
being able to spell so simple a word
as "cat" without using a dipthong and
two IT'S" but we were not prepared
for such sweeping vindication OF our
contention as afforded by recent re-
port OF the Department Of the In.
terror. which says that seven out OF
every 100 third.grade public school
children cannot spell has" This and
other curious evidence OF the special
problems inherent In the teaching OF
spelling are brought out by DR..
Leonard A. Ayres. OF the Russell Sage
Foundation. In a study just published.
As a result OF combining the four
most extensive studies that have been
made to identify the words commonly
used In different sorts OF English
writing. DIR. Ayres has selected the
1000 words that constitute 90 per
cent OF the language ordinarily used.
This selection was made from various
English authors. from four Sunday
newspapers OF Buffalo. n. Y. and
from the business and family corre-
spondence OF over 1000 adults. The
object OF the study was to develop
a scale for measuring attainment in
the spelling OF common words on The
