Course Is Intended to Give Students
q Deeper Appreciation.
The first class in the general ap-
probation of art has been started in
the University High School. One
hour a week is left open for the stu
dents in the high school to devote to
different activities. Thirty-nine stu
dents have selected art to employ their
free hour.
The class was started because
many students entered the high
school without any knowledge what
ever Of art or artists. 1t is Thought
that this course will give them a gen.
eral appreciation and understanding
of art either for further work in art
or as definite bit of learning.
The class is now studying the re-
productions of a number of famous
paintings by the old masters. The
reproductions are furnished by the
art department of the University.

STUDENTS OF TODAY
ARE POOR SPELLERS
Do Not Compare With Those
of Twenty Years
Ago.
INCENTIVES CHANGE
Spelling Books of Public
Schools Greatly
Simplified.
CHANGE

Ask your roommate to spell tnese
words: caoutchouc; phthisic; ptisan;
synecdoche; barbecue. charivari;
daguerreotype; cantaloupe; eleemosy-
nary: chalybeate They are taken
from Noah Webster's Blue Back
Speller and are fair sample of an
old-fashioned spelling lesson.
The men and women who studied
the old Blue Back speller and stood
up" in spelling bees twenty years ago
are better spoilers today than stu
dents today, according to ]. E. Nc
Pherson, superintendent of Columbia
public schools. This is not a critl-
cism of Columbia school children but
is true throughout the country. 1t
has been demonstrated here in the
annual Stephens College spelling
matches. The young folks are rarely
among the last twenty spoilers stand
ing and never win. Among the "best
spoilers" in Columbia are: ]. N.
Belcher, E. NJ. Watson, ]. G. Babb,
Dr. w. A. Norffs, Mrs. W. E. Name
val, Judge j. T. Rowland, E. W..
Stephens, Mr.. and Mrs. N. T. Gentry.
Spelling Fans in 1890.
Spelling was an amusement three
decades ago. There were spelling
fans in 1890 just as there are Mary
Pickford fans and football fans today.
The fourteen-year-old girl who could
"stand up" against the whole county
and represent her school at spell
ing match received all the local ad-
miration football team gets today.
Now this incentive is missing. More
time and attention is given in the
schools to vocational subjects.
Among the 100 words most COM
monty misspelled by grade pupils to-
day are: which, sure, separate and
their. Children are not interested in
spelling. Mr.. Mcpherson said that in
the Columbia schools this lack of in
terest is being overcome by supple
menting the texts with words from
history, grammar or geography les
sons. These words may be more diff
ficult than the lesson, but the chill
dren are always more eager to learn
them because they are new.
How Spelling Books Are Made.
This is the way spelling books are
made today: Compositions and themes
by children of every grade are col
lected. The words are counted and
the words most commonly used and
misspelled ard sifted out. A grade
pupils vocabulary averages 5000 to
5000 words. The spelling book is
arranged with two or three of these
commonly misspelled words in every
lessen. They are repeated in subse-
quent lessons so that when the pupil
finishes grammar school he should
spell correctly 5000 commonly used
words. The fault in this system is
that it is too easy.
'sWe stick to the old Blue Back, in
our spelling matches" said Mr..
Belcher, who usually captains one
side at the spelling matches. These
spelling bees are open to the world
but the old-timers always win"
The University of Missouri held a
famous spelling match in 1879 in
which students and faculty members
both contested 1t was held in the old
main building. Two or three hun
dred entered the contest but Mr..
Belcher was the last one standing.

Given the alternative of continuing the manufacture of the 1919 model Grant Six at greatly increased costs, with a resulting increase to purchasers, or the manufacture of a new model Grant car at practically the same in crease, the Grant Motor Car corpora ton has selected the latter plan. AS a result, the Maxcy Motor Car company is announcing the new 1920 model Grant Six touring car the first ship ment of which will arrive in Phoenix about September Is. according to pres- ent indications.
 The new model is a distinct innova- tion in the motor car world, as is in- dicated by illustrations contained in fuil-page advertisements carried by The Republican.
 It embraces all of the new features in body lines that are carried by sev- eral of the later and higher priced cars Extreme economy in fuel is claimed for the car because of it's light weight and overhead valve type motor with a bore and stroke of and one-eighths by A inches The upholstery is in genuine leather and luxuriously comfortable Strength and power are evident in every line of this entirely new Grant. It carries a high radiator which offers an imposing appearance and the lines of the body are strictly streamline.

TRA|LERS WILL AID
 IN MARKET TING GREAT
 COTTON CROP IN FALL

In response to many inquiries re- garding the use of trailer for the cotton haul, c. w. Hartranft, distrib- utor of Utility Trailers, says: Cot ton growers are quickly realizing that with trailer and their own auto they can make more satisfactory deliveries of their cotton than with teams. On the average sized cotton ranch the owner can haul all his cotton on his regular trips to town, thereby saving much valuable time on the road On some of the larger places, or where cotton fields are scattered, trailers will be used to collect the cotton each evening, and take it to a central loca- ton, from where it will be accumulated and hauled to the gin in larger loads.
 We have several constructions de- signed to meet the requirements of the cotton haul.
 Utility four wheel trailers are built in five sizes, ranging from one to five tons capacity, are adapted for use be- hind trucks. The patented steering device absolutely overcomes all whip ping and is constructed with a mini mum number of wearing parts. Equip ped with long platform. these trail CTS will handle large quantities of cot ton.
 Of our six models of two- wheel trail CTS, the Model B Special (2,200 pounds capacity) is the best adapted to cotton hauling. With a slight extension of the rack it will hold bale of seed cot ton and it can be pulled with a light car in satisfactory manner. A num- Der of these trailers were used last year, Mir. w. P. Smith of Scottsdale hauling 5000 pounds of cotton behind a Chevrolet car. These trailers can be fitted with legs to hold them in proper position while loading.
 Where a roadster is to furnish the motive power, a smaller trailer can be used by building a long bed reaching from the trailer to bolster on the rear of the auto. Or by using the B Special Model in this manner. a two-bale ca pacity or better can be secured.

TREAT HER ROUGH"
 WAS INSTRUCT IF
 COAST ESSEX AGENT
Tells Women Drivers In Hard Road Contest to Drive Car to Limit In Eff fort to Win Big Prize

Treat her rough, if necessary, but win that thousand dollars anyway" That was the substance of the instruc- tions given Nell Shipman and Mar jorie Cole when they started their daring motor car drive last week to the Devils Punch Bowl, on the Trail of the Arrow" which leads through the most desolate rock and sand dune section of the Mojave desert west of Orc Grande
 And now comes the word to Los Angeles that those city-bred young women have literally had to treat Ter rough a hundred times every day since they left the last vestige of civ ilization and started across country, following the arrows set by Bob Battle, @the woman doubter," who had the nerve to back his judgment with a thousand dollar bet that no woman could drive RD automobile into the Devils Punch Bowl
 Never before has here been such a villainiy ingenious test of women's driving ability, but Harold L. Arnold knew something that Bob Battle did not know, and so he took the other end of the purse. And right there Battle bids fair to lose the gold, for the make of the car was not specified in the wager, and Arnold slipped into the game with an Essex.
 Just to make it more interesting he named the car s'The s. X. Arrow" and says that thousand dollars is his, if the girls hold out, for they can treat that IS. K" as rough as they please and she will go the pace, no matter where the arrows lead.
 T have seen the steel that goes into the Essex" said MT. Arnold, land know there never has been a car built with such strength of frame and chas- sis. The body, too. is so solidly con- structed no amount of pounding or twisting can phase it fir a moment. That is why l told the girls to treat CT rough if they had to. for aside from tumbling over a cliff or some fatal accident, no Bob Battle in the world can prevent those girls winning the wager. and I will prove once for all that women can drive as well as men, providing you give them a car like the Essex. which is easy to handle and os reliable that it will negotiate anything it can keep it's wheels on.

Can There Be any Hesitancy
 In Your Preference?


 Four years have given universal recognition ts the Super Six. The patented principle in it's motor ended destructive engine vibration and added 72ss to the power without increased weight or size.
 That motor was developed by Hudson and it is exclusively Hudson. In the present model are the refinements resulting from so,ooo cars in service And then there its official records of the most trying tests. No other car ever so established itself.
 Some at first, may have doubted the value of such proofs as were made on the speedway and In trans continental racing so far as they relate to the type of car that would meet ordinary service. But no one now questions the importance of thoss records.
 The fastest mile for stock chassis was not established as a mark for Hudson owners to aim st Nor was the twenty-four hour record of 1919 miles set as something that should be attempted by every super-sx.
