Interesting Result of Recent Spell
ing Contest in the Public
Schools of the City.

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
New Castle. April l3.--Tho results o
the standardized spelling test recently
given to all public school pupils above
the first grade are announced herewith
and few words about the nature OF the
test may be Of interest to the public.
Some years ago DR.. Leonard 7. Ayres of
the Russell Sage Foundation as the result
OF a study ol a variety of written and print
cd materials, compiled a list of the 1000
most commonly used words in the Eng
lish language. These words were then
given 10 thousands OF school children
and arranged in the order of their diff
ficulty, In this way the standard per-
formance of given public school grade
was determined. BY using a scale of this
nature school administrators can com.
pare the efficiency of different school
systems and even determine the cf-
ticienoy of q gwen grade within a system.
BY comparing the standard percentage OF
a given grade with the percentage actual
~ attained, citizens can ascertain the
efficiency of the local schools. However,
when announcing the results given below,
Superintendent Snavely stated that two
or three exceptionally poor spoilers can ma
terially lower the average of the grade to
which they belong and hence create the
impression that the work Of their grade is
of a much poorer quality than it really 49,
The test consisted of the following 20
words taken from the Ayres list: Catch,
black warm, unless, clothing, began, able,
gone, suit, track, watch, dash, fell, fight,
buy, stop, walk, grant, soap, news. Re-

tached TO the rccommo ndations Of the

Interpretation which was placed on the

souri, Farm Bureau Federation per-
formed valuable pieces of work for the
farm bureau members, hut Il took n
leading part in the creation of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
which Is the national organization in
the farm bureau work.
Mr.. John T.. Slater, president Of the
Holt County Farm Bureau, is free u
confess that until the period of read.
rstment following the war came upon
the American farmer, that he had seer
in the fam bureau nothing outside its
county organization. But II has been
forced upon him, as well as upon
thousands of other Missouri farmers
that he had an organization already
f,nctioning, to step In ut this ciitica
time and represent him and his inter
ests in II way that he long has wishc,
for.
Mr., Slater says: "Some five months
