FIND BEST SPELLING IN
LARGER HIGH SCHOOLS
University Extension Director
compiles Data on Second
Annual Test.
Best spelling is found in the larger
high schools of Nebraska according to
data compiled by Prof. A. A. Reed,
director of the extension division of
the University, on the basis of re
turns from the second annual spelling
test. Near the close of the last sem
ester the following list of words
(used in sentences to insure defini
tion) was sent to every high school
in the state: cubic, punish, appeal,
portion, charity, lawyer, current,
urge, obtainable, sanitary, aviator,
investigation, immediately, corps, oc
curred, pariimentary, pageant, mis
appropriating, precedents.
Of 18,115 pupils in 187 schools
who took part in this test only 342
were able to make perfect records.
More than half of these were from
four of the largest high schools. This
is a more difficult list than the one
used last year, averaging approxi
mately thirteen per cent lower for the
national norm. This test more ac
curately measured the upper range
of spelling ability in Nebraska high
schools. Next year it Is planned to
use a more difficult list in an attempt
to reach both the upper and the lower
limits of spelling ability. -
Studv of the summary shows that
Nebraska high schools made relatively
a much hieher average than Jast year
which was from four to six per cent
below the national average. This
year the range is from 3.35 per cent
below to .9 per cent above the na
tional average. One of the striking
features of the returns is the wiae
range of spelling ability in different
schools. One school showed no av
erage above sixty per cent while an
other school of over 2000 pupils has
an average of 81.8 per cent for all,
ranging from seventy-one per cent in
the ninth grade to ninety per cent
in the twelfth grade.

and still they say
college men don't study!
The critic who charges college men with lack
of diligence never heard a freshman repeat his roll
of fraternity chapters without a slip, or a senior
dilate on the life history of every football captain
from 1890 on.
Of course this takes study sometimes too much
study. The student must be cautioned against
the mental strain resulting from concentration on
too limited a field of thought
It is a good thing to specialize, but not to the
extent of becoming narrow. If it is right for the
man who concentrates on engineering to be up
on his campus activities, it would seem right for
the man who is quoted on the history and phi
losophy of Comparative Baseball Scores to have
some knowledge of the chemistry and thermo
dynamics from which he expects to make his living.
For it is still true that in industrial councils the
talk sometimes swings from batting averages to
coefficients of expansion and the hysteresis losses
in iron.
This is all a matter of balance, and satisfactory
mental balance is a means to an important end
satisfactory bank balance.
