Some Spelling.

The state fair at Syracuse is to have
an added attraction next fall. Along
with exhibits of cattle and produce,
there will be a spelling contest for
state championship honors. Each
county will send its best spoilers, Sc
lected after elimination tests at coun-
ty fairs. And the state, besides paying
their travelling expenses, will provide
gold prizes for the winners of the SYRIA
cuse contest.
Perhaps it may seem that the Com
missioner of Education is seeking to
Chautauquaize a time-honored agri-
cultural institution But any method
that will revive the lost art of spell
ing is worth trying, and no doubt it
will accomplish much to put prize
spoilers on an equality with prize win
ners for pumpkins or fat hogs. But,
in fact, the choice of county and state
fairs for spelling contests merely sup
plements their traditional uses. 1t

the country districts that Americans

Make Farm Home Attractive.

In the design and construction of
the farm house the question of utility
alone should not be the determining
factor. The first thought should be
the making of home. The amount
of money to be invested in the build
ing of the home should not be deter
mined by its relation in size to the
balance of the plant, nor by the
amount that is necessary merely to
provide shelter. but the amount to
be invested should be that which the
owner may reasonably afford with
out financially Gripping himself too
severely. The average city dweller in
buying a house for a home does not
proceed solely on the basis of what
he can expect to secure in case It is
ever desirable to place the house on
the market. He is not likely to con-
slider the purchase OF a home as a
one. which will enable him to secure
for his family the comforts and con-
veniences that he could not secure
in a rented house, and to have for
his family a genuine home. a genuine
home life. II he is able when the
time arrives to dispose of his proper

A New State School Law.


The new civic and commercial asso-
citation of Denver has appointed a
committee to consider the question of
a thorough revision of the school law
of the state. The action grows out of
the efforts of the educational organ
izations and state officers continued
for many years without success to Sc
cure a more consistent and up-to-date
law. The intolerable situation in Den
yer is the immediate occasion for the
action of the association. The commit
tee consists of George w. Loomis, for
mer superintendent of Pueblo schools,
chairman: James H. Baker, president
emeritus of the University of Colora-
do; H. A. Buchtel, chancellor of the
superintendent of the Denver schools
and L. Ward Bannister. lawyer. There
will no doubt be many other represen-
tative men and women associated
more or less closely with this commit
tee in its work. There is no Ekeli-
hood of the committee being hamper
ed in its work by lack of necessary
funds. A number of states, among
them Vermont. Pennsylvania and es-
pecially Ohio, have in recent years
found it desirable to adopt new school
codes for the government and control
of the public schools.
