SHOULD IMPROVE THE SPELLING,
ENuNcIATioN, ETC.

There was big spelling contest
held at Moscow by direction of the
county superintendent. and the Star
Mirror has the following sensible COM
naent to make on the subject, together
with some very pertinent advice, which
the Globe editor believes In and COM
mends to the careful consideration OF
this county. That paper says:
A better scheme than the spelling
contest could not have been devised by
the county superintendent TO stimulate
interest in a subject that in our opin-
ion, has received too little academic
consideration in the last decade. Num-
erous as are the changes in the SPELL
Ing Of fairly large group OF words,
and unfixed as the standards seem at
present to be, nevertheless the way to
spell should not be considered a mat
ter of free will caprice and chaos.
The accepted usage Of educated people
as recorded by the best publishers and
photographers is the usage that boys
and girls should be taught and disci-
plined into practicing.
The showing made by the young peo-
pie last Saturday evening was most
creditable, and the list, consisting OF
$50 words, was sensibly chosen and
contained only generally useful words
Our memory goes back 10 q time
when the test words seemed to bt

It sometimes happens that careless
word dropped In the presence OF
stranger has the effect Of changing
his intention OF becoming identified
with a community.
A party may come to the country to
make an investment In Browns farm,
or Jones mining property or some
other worthy enterprise. He Is here
for a certain purpose. Don't distract
bis intentions either by saying the
property in question is no good or
that you have something better to
offer. Nine chances out Of ten he
win not accept your offer nor the
property he first came to buy and goes
away giving the country black
eye.
II you cannot say anything good
about the other fellows property. say
nothing bad. We are sometimes too
quick to pass Judgment and say
things we know little or nothing about.
We badly need every man with
means we can persuade to come to help
develop our mines and other worthy
resources.

hurt others but yourself as well.

munity seemed ever to contract and
which were therefore little mentioned
and still less often written. The coun-
ty superintendent showed a good deal
OF excellent judgment IN choosing words
that the children are likely TO need
and meet all the time, and the child
rem, on their part. seemed TO understand
thoroughly the words they were spelling
Teachers should be most careful to
teach their pupils to separate words
correctly into their several syllableR.
Much OF the oral spelling on last Sat-
urday evening was notably defective
in this particular. The pupils, in the
main, separated their words at any
point, hit or miss, without giving any
suggestion of the composition OF a
word Correct syllabication is necessary
In writing 1t should be practiced in
oral spelling. II IL great aid TO the
mastery OF meanings Of words and to
their proper pronunciation.
One other point should De mention
ed in regard to the contest in oral
spelling held last Saturday evening.
We believe the criticism would apply
with equal force to most oral spelling
matches and to most oral daily spell
ing lessons In the school room. Chill
dren do not enunciate clearly. They
do not know how to use their voices.
or to speak so as to be distinctly
heard.
Making all due allowance for en-
barra ssment for stage fright, and for
excitement over the outcome, the enun-
citation on hast Saturday evening was
In general far below the standard pupils
OF that age should have attained.
One little girl was a striking excep-
ton 1t was a pleasure to hear her
clear tones, her firm voice. and to OBJ
serve the decision and accuracy with
which she divided her words into their
syllabies. One of the boys had par
ticularly pleasing manner of spelling.
But for the most part words were
mumbled, letters were slid together,
voices were too low and too indistinct.
The audience was hard put to 1t to UNI
derstand what some Of the pupils were
trying to say.
A little painstaking training along
this line will be of infinite service to
the children, and the Globe urges al
SO the teaching OF the use and value
OF the diacritical marks. There is a
question IL one High school pupil In
fifty can today give the proper names
and uses OF those essential characters
used in the dictionary to dfferentiate
the various sound of the same letters;
and few can even tell how to pronounce
the words they go to the dictionary

likely to take up quarters in the old

from that occupied by Mr.. Day. BY

sTATE.PAlp EDITORIAL SALARIES

IN View the GOVERNORS persistent
public claims that there should be a
reduction of the number OF state Of
Ulcers and deputies and consequently
the number Of salaries to be paid by
the state. the following remarks by
the Boise Daily Statesman are certain
ly pertinent:
The governor stated repeatedly dur
ing the campaign that he was oppos-
ed to the creation of any new offices.
In effect, he promised the people he
would oppose any such addition to the
payroll OF the state in the interest OF
his economy program"
But as governor he gladly approved
every measure that created new Off
ees that he could use politically,

a decision in which it is held that
county commissioners have no author
ity to employ a special prosecutor in
criminal cases, but In cases where the
county attorney is disqualified the
district Judge may appoint a prose-
cutor. The decision is one of consid-
cradle Importance to the taxpayers, as
1t has come to be a practice in some
counties to employ special prosecutors
and pay them large fees in criminal
cases of unusual Importance, while
holding the regular prosecutor down to

The governor is making a great
noise about running the business OF
the state upon an economical basis.
HIS own office may web be taken as
an illustration Of the manner in which
he ds sacrificing efficiency or anything
else that might stand in the way of
his grandstand demonstrations.

clerical force in the governors office
consisted of two women stenographers,

In the light Of the statement Of Lieu
tenant EIDE, Of the submarine F-4, that
he expected 1.-THE whole thing to go
up in smoke any time" the disaster
which befell that vessel near Honolulu
Is an eloquent commentary on the de-
gree of efficiency at which Secretary
Daniels maintains the navy; Mr.. Ede's
statement is corroborated by those OF
other members of the crew. The ship
was dn no condition to go to sea; the
fact was known to the crew and should
have been known to those who sent
her out.
This is no isolated case. One of the
naval officers who testified before the
House Naval committee last winter
said that when the Atlantic fleet went
recently to the Caribbean sea for man
euvers there were nominally twelve
vessels In the submarine flotilla but
only one remained to join the fleet.
His testimony read much like the old
nursery story OF the ten httle nfggers,
who were extermininated by series OF
mishaps There could be no more con-
elusive proof of the charge made in
congress that our navy is only one-hah
efficient than the story of these
twelve submarines with the melancholy
sequel of the F-4. whose brave crew
were sacrificed in a boat they knew
to be defective and suspected 10 be
unsafe.
The least the government can do for
the men who protect the nations In
terests st sea is to assure itself that
every craft Is staunch and sound be-
fore ii sails. Particular care should
be taken with submarines, for, once
they are submerged, the lives Of the
crew are staked upon the freedom Of
the frail vessel from defects.-Oregon-
ian.
