BLAME FOR, BAD SPELLING

Why the young people can't write plain,

blame the business man, who supports the
schools for his evaporation, but II is only
fair to consider the case from the side Of
the teacher also.
One OF the chief reasons that many young
people are pooR spoilers, poor writer's and
ill-informed on the things Of everyday bust

Prof. Susan ]. Cunningham. She was the
teacher OF Senator Sproul when he STUDIED
mathematics and astronomy at Swarthtliore
and she made a little speech telling OF her
disappointment because he didn't amount
10 more in a scientific way, but she felt
bit of pride that he had become a success.
full man. She said he always gave some OF
the credit for it to her and added that he
had done something for astronomy IN
material way by giving the Sproul labor
atory, even II he himself had not become
great astronomer. -,

occurred when members of the Interna-

while near n Peruvian port, not to disem-

at the port caused the change of plan.
