WHY ARE GIRLS
BETTER SPELLERS?

Complete tabulated returns OF the
Statewide spelling contests in which
State Commissioner Finley was so
much interested show that in the TO-
500 schools where bees" were held,
the girls showed generally the greater
proficiency in spelling. and that of
the silver medals awarded to county
champions only 80 per cent go to
boys. The original plan was to give
each of these county winners a free
trip to the State Fair at Syracuse. but
the infantile paralysis scare inter
fered.
Why girls are better spoilers than
boys might make a good subject for
a monograph. 1t is pretty common
ly accepted theory that good speller
Is born, not made. Which means, per-
haps, that visual memory is an inner
tied faculty. capable, it may be, of
development but only within a limit
fixed by the brain of the pupil. Logic
helps very little. almost none at all,
till after study of Green and Latin and
French has forced attention on the
origin of words. The boy or girl or
man or woman who most rarely mis-
spells word is fortunate rather than
admirable. The memory visualizes
the printed form which reading has
made familiar. And this was the Sc
cret Of the way our grandmothers and
grandfathers got a master over the
old blue spelling book. Doubtless the
pre-Froebel webster" book, like all
other books used for the purposefi
helped INSTALLATION by concentrating
attention.
We are inclined to believe that the
average school girl reads more than
the average school boy. After school
the boys interests are outside inter-
ests. He is fishing or skating or play
ing ball. We would not have him
otherwise for all the spelling in the
world. After all, the learning of
things is better than the learning of
symbols, and words are nothing but
symbols. They aid in writing and in
spelling. But in the education that
leds up to doing things, one hour in
or chemistry is worth
more than a hundred hours Of spell
ing.
