IOWA EDUCATOR
PRAISES 8. A.
SCHOOLS

San Antonio's public schools have
made greater progress in the past six
years than any schools of any other
cities he has visited, according to DIR.
Ernest Horn, of the State University
Of Iowa, who arrived in San Antonio
with Mrs. Horn. DR.. Horn is profes-
Sor of English and director Of the
training school for superintendent
and the elementary school department
of the Iowa University. He has been
visitor in San Antonio for several
winters past.
DIR. Horn has just completed anil
has ready for the press research
work on the vocabulary which should
be acquired by the average student.
This work embraces list Of the words
most used by the average person in
daily conversation and is to be used
in the spelling courses in the
schools.
Contrary 10 the usual belief the
average business man has a vocabulary
Of approximately 5000 to 1000 words.
DIR. Horn said. Those who have spe-
cial training in certain lines of bust
ness, such as lawyers, ministers or
newspaper men, easily have vocabu-
laries of from 10000 to $4,000 words,
he said. An average high school grad
uate has a vocabulary Of 10000
words; a junior high school graduate
has vocabulary of 5000 to 10000.
Even a 6-year-old child has a vocabu-
larry of 1000 words, DIR. Horn stated.
The average man has a vocabulary OF
5000 to 5000 words, he said.

Hens, Finest in Southwest,
Ignore Audience While
They Lay Eggs.

You would think that hens, put on
exhibition before critical crowd Of
poultry experts, would not worry
about a little thing like laying eggs,
but they do.
Proof of this lies in the fact that at
tendants at the fifteenth annual poul-
try show Of the Lone Star Poultry
Association are kept busy running mp
and down the aisles of cages collect
ing the eggs the hens lay every few
minutes.
Mrs. White Leghorn lays an egg AMI
Mr.. White Leghoru crows Justify. Mrs.
Barred Rock lays an egg and Mr..
Barred Rock strains his lungs in m
effort 10 outcrow Mr.. White LeghOrn.
So it goes on down the line of the
many specimens Of poultry exhibited.
The egg laying, of course, is inter
spcrsed with a few attempts at rooster
fighting on the side. The fights are
no more than attempts at fighting be-
cause wire cages separate the beliger-
ents.
Old Mr.. Turkey stares on the whole
proceedings in cynical sort Of way,
as if to say: "Why all the racket
and worry" The Chinese Ring Neck
pheasants, set OFF TO the side in Il
cage TO themselves. don't even notice
the crowd and the noise. Why should
they? Haven't they the brightest
feathers of any of the birds at the
show.
Whoever gets the eggs laid by the
hens at the poultry show can rest as
sured that they are strictly fresh and
we're laid by some of the finest hens
in the Southwest.
