STATE SPELLING "BEES."

497

GREAT AMERICAN REVIVAL OF AN OLD CRAZE.

The Secretary of the Simplified Spuiting Society points out that spelling-bees are "sweeping the United States," as they did, by the byo, forty years ago. "Giant meela" are held, and invitations, ace sont to the general publia broadcast to come and be spelled down." Missouri has recently beld a State bee" in Altoons when the largest hal! was toe amail for the multitude of competitors. Such an interent can be worked up over this state event throughout Minnesota that all through the summer children will be poring over dictionaries with the same real they employ in hunting birds nests, Desa Woods is reported.to have said. State superintendents of public instructions give the bees their bleasing. "Good spellers are all too rare," sayя obe. "I believe in the spelling bee. It developed good apellers in the past." It seems that the crazo has taken a social trum. Well-known hostesses send out gilt invitations to spelling hyes, which are sacient invested with quaint and ceremony. Whist drives are averthrown. And champion speller becomes the darling of his district, is carried aboulder high, gets a reputation for prodigious learning.America does not get un derstand that spelling is not language, and that a man con 'spell down' every rival and remain a fool. This erazo is a mult which Mr. Hoosevelt, reformer of spelling hardly expected to develop. But in would Boem that something needs to be done for American orthography, since nearly all the 20. children who competed at Madison broke down at the word technicalities.”
