old TIME SPELLING
BEE is COMING BACK
INCREASING POPULARITY AT
TENDS CONTESTS IN ALL
PARTS OF COUNTRY.

Spelling bees, once popular indoor
sport, are coming back again State
/ commissions of education, chautau-
quas, agricultural fairs and kindred
bodies are striving to bring back and
succeeding in it, too, the spelling bee,
associated by dad and mother, grand
father and grandmother with the little
| old school house.
| To fathers and mothers and grand
mothers and grandfathers the belief
that a form of amusement they in
dulged in is to return will recall pleas
ant memories of many an evenings
entertainment before ragtime, jazz and
the movies were invented. In the long
ago, when life was simple and milk
cents a quart, social gatherings were
frequent among neighbors who COM
peted for honors IN spelling.
| That the spelling bee of the little
red school house deserves to be popu-
lar again is the belief of those whose
hair IS becoming tinged with gray, re-
calling the DAYS of long ago and the
pleasures of youth when they used to
drive in from the countryside, take
their places in two long lines and try
their utmost to spell down" each 9TH
| er.
Older Folk Came Too.
The older folk came too, enjoying
the fun as much as the youthful.
There would be much excitement
when two competitors remained and
then would come the time for the
bringing out of the trick word, the
winner being acclaimed amid loud
explanations and hurrahs.
For more than thirty-fve years Mis-
souri, had a champion speller in Prof.
d. Jones, of Kansas City Before he
retired he had taught for so years. For
over thirty-hve years he had issued a
challenge to the world to a spelling
contest. Often the challenges were ac-
cepted Sometimes they became almost
| endurance contests. In one such con-
test Prof. Jones spelled $4,000 words,
missing only II, to his opponents II,

veoped into an endurance contest, at
the end of FIVE hours the voices of the
moderators having given out. Fifty OF

Spelled for Eleven Hours.
Some years ago an II-year -olQ

words and never made a miss. The
words were read from school book
used in the sixth grade, the boy being
