He stated that it had been I intimated by different parties, includ-j ing other teachers that he had given; a much greater part of his school class work to spelling than the other ; schools. Mr. Collom wishes it to be known that this is not true and that j he devotes the same time as the other schools. He admits that there fs far; greater interest in that particular; • subject at Geneva than at the average • i school and that as a result, many * hours of night work and out of school time is put in on the subject. He says John Martin has spelled every s word in the spelling text book at dis ’> ferent times this year without a sin- j 5 gle mistake. When the writer asked : * a student from the Decatur high I school what was wrong with their spellers, he replied that all the good 1 spellers were attending the Latin j Club dance on that evening and the | writer admits that the really good spellers from several of the schools must have been attending something besides the spelling contest.
