MANY ERRORS IN SPELLING
Photographic Oddities Brought to Light by pr. Leonard P. Ayres--
 Few Excellent speIlers.

Seven out of every 100 third-grade public school children in the United States cannot spell the word "has, according to g report just compiled by Dr. Leonard P. ,Ayres of the Rus sell Sage foundation on the special problems inherent in the teaching .of spelling. Doctor Ayres' study also brought out many other photographic oddities. ..t.'. -,..l.. +
 Doctor Ayres selected the 1000 words that constitute 90 per cent oi the language ordinarily used. This selection was made from various Eng fish authors, from four Sunday news. papers, and from the business and family correspondence of more than 2,000 adults. -'t~; !
 Cooperating with the school super. intendents in S4 cities of, the United States. Doctor Ayfes had the 1000 commonest words tested by an aggre
 gate of 100000 spellings, secured from 10000 public school children. < !
 Nine words of most frequent use, viz, "the." "in." "so,' "now," man, 'ten." "bed," top" revealed that sec. ond-grade pupils, on an average
 spelled correctly 94 per cent of these words. At the other extreme of the scale of words ;uudgment,", !''recom- mend" and 'allege" were found to De spelled correctly by just 50 per cent ot etghth.grade pupils. 1T
 poctor Ayres finds: There are very few exceedingly poor spellers, many medium ones, and very few sxex. cellent ones. Few words do most of our work when we write. Fifty words constitute, with their repetitions. one. half of the words written. The child who masters the 1000 words on the scale given will make no spelling CT TOTS in nine-tenths of his writing."- New York Times.

 A Georgia girl has recently given a striking demonstration of what lit tie care will accomplish in the rais- ing of pigs A SOW in her neighbor- hood had eight pigs and could only nourish seven of them at one time. The eighth pig was therefore given to the little girl, who raised it by hand. She joined her country pig club as q Ham and Bacon member, and kept 8 close record, as the club regulations provide. of the feed given her pig, and of its weight. The pig was not a purebred. At nine months old the pig was killed. It weighed 225 pounds net when dressed as meat, and also yielded a 50-pound can of lard. Tho cost of producing this meat was less
