A man writing to the Greensboro News finds fault with the puo.A school system. He says: ‘ To prove my point to the unbe lieving I tested out classes of boy* in the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grades in a Guilford county h'gk school recently by questioning them and by looking over examination papers, with the following astounu i.g results: “Not one boy in the four grade* could give a single spelling rule. “Not one boy would admit he had been taught spelling since entering h'gh school. ‘ Out of 23 examination papers only four were written legible and neat ly. "N’ot one had all the wouls spoiled Correctly. “There were over 150 jhispelied words in all 2.'i papers combined. “Two out of 23 owned dictionar ies.’’ It is a well known fact that school children of the present day cannot srell like they did years ago. The trouble is tiiat they have too many other things to study. They do n‘ p it enough time on any of their les sons. Then the teaching of phonetics, a recognized aid to quick and easy read irg by the beginner, biu djs 'Strou- t his spelling, has had its el f. i't on 1 .e pcnil.

It is not the book so iw'1 it as it is the method which is used that is at fault, and which ought to be remedied. "hat He Found in the Old Sofa. According to Capper’s Weekly, a merchant who deals in second-hand "ooHs and antiques recently bought an old sofa used in a home where seven daughters had been reared, and had entertained company in the passing years, and this is what he found in the old sofa when he took it apart to make repairs: “Forty-seven hairpins, three no ustachc combs, 19 suspender hut tens, 13 needles, 8 cigarettes, 5 photo graphs, 217 pins, some grains of cof fee, a few cloves, 27 vest buttons, 6 Pocket knives, 15 poker chips, a vial of headache tablets, 34 lump; of (hewing gum, 9 toothpicks and four button hooks.” i he collection of concealed merchan dise, placed on display in the mer chant's window, with a card telling of bs history, proved such a fine adver tisement that the merchant not only so|([ the 0jjj sofa at a good profit, but a|s- increased sales on other merchan dise because of the drawing power of tlie window display.
