POOR SPELLING A
VERY GENERAL DEFECT

A report just issued by Dean Briggs
of Harvard University calls attention
to the incorrect spelling which is sc
common at the present time. Dean
Briggs notes that many great men
have been very poor spoilers, and he
finds that nowhere is American educa-
ton more defective than in its failure
to teach the correct use of the English
language.
There are of course a great many
successful men who are very poor
spoilers. If a man has executive abil-
ity, the gift of managing others, the
fact that he spells speech" with an
"a" does not hurt much in his busi-
ness. Everyone knows what he
means. His underlings dare not dis
obey his orders, though they may
snicker at his written memoranda,
when safely out of hearing.
In social life even the successful
man will suffer from poor spelling.
1t will suggest that he belongs to the
new rich class, and that he has had
neither time nor inclination for self
culture, and is only a mongrel in
everything but the single power of
making money.
To the young man struggling for a
position in life, lack of ability to spell
is somewhat more serious. A letter
applying for a position that should
contain several unspelled words would
be reckoned that of an ignoramus. 1t
would convey suggestion of indo-
lence and inefficiency.
The older people look back with
regret to the Little Red Schoolhouse,
where rows of buzzing youngsters used
to pore over the Blue Backed Speller
by the hour together. Perhaps there
were as many poor spoilers then as
now. In those days great many men
had little or no education. Bad SPELL
ing may have attracted less attention
than now.
The old fashioned school had one
astute method of developing the spell
ng habit, and that was the old time
spelling match. Competition does wake
up the boys and girls wonderfully.
They might dream for days over the
'egular spelling lesson without acquir-
ng anything. But there was no per-
study when they were cram
ming for the Friday afternoon spelling
match.
Poor spelling is very general de-
ect which could easily be remedied
" stimulating popular interest in it.
I would at least be as useful and per- $
aps conclusive of almost as much !
port, if spelling contests were organ I
zed in every community as it is to |
ave dancing contests, prizes TO be a
warded TO the most graceful dancers. h
ome Of the oranges of Vermont occa-
ionally have had spelling matches.
here should be more of them. Poor a
pelling should be regarded as SLOW u
nly-just as much so as unpublished il
hoes, unwashed hands and unbrushed o

SUGAR MAKERS

We will be in the market this year
for what sugar you make, but we pos
itively will not pay full price for SUI
gar unless it is cooked to 240 degrees
at least. Anything less than that
we shall discount in price. II the
latter part of the season 240 degrees
does not get it hard enough, 1t must
be cooked harder, as we will buy
nothing but hard sugar, any way.
We shall make the usual discount
of two cents a pound on tins, old sap
buckets, jelly pals, lard tubs, candy
pals and cottolene pals. 1t is for
your interest to use new wooden pals
or tubs.
The trade on Vermont sugar is fast
slipping away The trade has been
completely killed all through the
West by putting up Vermont sugar
SO soft and the demand is fast dis
appearing in the East. Canadian su-
gar has sold this year for about three
cents a pound more than Vermont
sugar, on account of the hardness
of the Canadian product. Every
farmer is working against his own
interests when he puts the sugar up
in the condition that a great many
have, where II will soften up on top,
ferment, and sour.
