SPELLING IS NO LONGER
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

Frank Neuhauser, Il years old, Of
Louisville, KY, is awarded q medal
as the best schoolboy speller in
America,
Tt is a fine achievement, to have
attained first place in anything,
and this boy viii probably be heard
Of again, for something more inn

But the spelling itself can no
longer be regarded rs having the i'm
portance our fathers attributed to
it.
Tt was once the hallmark of edu-
cation; the token Of mastery of the
tools Of thought and expression.
Now it is a specialized craft, and
a subordinate one, at that. 1t might
help equip one for a job as printer,
proofreader or stenographer, to set
Iup, correct, or take down the words
of others.
1t is a trade. If Abraham Lin
coin had not known how to spell, his

us as monuments of illiteracy.

yet NeXlco IS poor, without free cap
itaI to develop its resources.
The trouble is that Mexico has
never reinyested its income in pro
ductive equipment.
Its vast product of mineral wealth
has gone, some of it to the loot of
conquerors; some of it back into the
ground, in hidden and lost boards
some of it into the ornaments Of
churches; and most of the rest into
the hands OF a luXury-loying class,
who sent it out of the country for
imported wines, silks, jewels and
works Of art, or spent it abroad.
The result is that Mexico is land
of wealth and poverty of luxury
and squalor, Of culture and ignor-
anc, but not of productive capital.
What it lacks is not resources, but
a system to put them to use.

Uniform Divorce Laws

Uniform divorce laws, the
same in Ohio as in New York,
in Maine as in Texae, are being
urged on us now By many very
wcil-meaning folk
Let's examine the proposition
little before indorsing it too
fundamentally.
How would you standardize
these laws? Would the laws OF
the state that allows no divorces
at ali be the standard? Or those
that allow divorce for almost
anything? Or those that lie half
way betWeen2
And, on top OF it ali, do we
want any more standardization
than we have? Suppose people
in one state have one idea about
divorce, and people in another
state have another idea. Should
each class be allowed to have
it's own kind Of law on the sub
iect?
The idea back Of this move
IS praiseworthy. But the ques-
tion will bear a lot of studying
