POOR SPELLERS Taken as a whole, our school sys tem may be far more efficient than it was a half-century ago, but in one respect it is sadly lacking. The present generation of spellers is the poorest this nation has ever known. Grandpa may have been lacking in many of the things which now go to make up a general education, but the generation to which he belonged could outspell the present one both ways. This is not said with any desire to cast reflection on school methods now employed in Gem county be cause it is nation-wide in scope. Th ratio of poor spellers among those of high school age Is no high er here than elsewhere, nor is it any lower. Back in the old days, be fore pupils had the wide variety of studies now embraced in a common school course, the three R’s claimed the whole attention of the scholar. He learned to read and write, and he learned mathematics and, hav ing but these three studies, he learned them thoroughly. In those days being a poor speller was look ed upon as more or less of a dis grace. Today it seems to be viewed by the average high school boy or girl as an accomplishment. In recent years there has been a tendency throughout the country to revive the old-fashioned “spelling bee.” Even the radio stations are finding them a source of entertain ment It is an idea worth encourag ing, since it seems to be about the only means of improving that fast- declining accomplishment. The old fashioned “spelling bee" helped make the older generations good spellers It ought to likewise prove of value to the present generation, the poorest spellers this country possibly ever produced.—Emmett Messenger. PUBLIC BUSINESS Payette Independent-Enterprise The transaction of public busi ness through state and county of fices is a matter of public concern, consequently a matter of news. Sel dom is an officer found who is re luctant to give full information concerning the transactions of pub lic affairs but occasionally such a situation appears. Whenever such circumstances arise the official is most cautious that they not be quoted as being desirous of keeping from the public matters which are of vital concern. The expenditure of public funds likewise is a matter of importance from a news standpoint. Looking at the matter from an Individual standpoint, there are few citizens who would turn thousands of dol lars of their private funds over to anyone to spend without a full accounting of every cent. The same prinicpal applies to the expenditures of thous ands of dollars of public funds. There is another angle in this re gard. Often times public officials will consider most seriously the ex penditures of public funds for cer tain purposes when they realize that the matter will be given full publicity. Full publicity to every official transaction brings about much more efficient management of state and county affairs and is a mat ter of utmost importance in real democratic form of government.
