Miss Coombs has changea the usual form of giving all spelling in writ- ten tests in her room and now is teaching the boys and girls to spell orally. The promotion of spelling. orally as well as in writing, so that 1! men and women of the future m he able to get the proper combir tion of letters withont error, is the prime reason for the national speil- ing contest held every year in Wi ington, 1.
