ANNUAL SPELLING CONTEST At the meeting of the County Elementary School Association held here Saturday, December 11th, it was agreed that there should be a different plan adopted for the annual county spelling contest to be held Saturday, May 7th, 1921. We desire to obtain from each principal, or school, a selection of 100 words which have been taught during the year, and which will be suitable for the contest Please send these lists on or before March 1st From these, the contest committee, consisting of Miss Martha Boyle, Ocean City; R. S. Gandy, helping teacher and the County Superintendent will select 100 words to be used in the contest —n. A second new feature will be the division of contestants into two groups, the first group to consist of pupils who represent the larger schools and systems, and. the second, of those contestants who represent one, two and three room schools. Miss Boyle will preside over the first group, Miss Gandy over the second. The County Superintendent will pronounce the words in 'the first group and the helping teacher in the second. Each group will occupy a room by itself in the high school building at Cape May Court House. . The session will begin promptly at 10:45 A. M. There will be Seven prizes for each group consisting of FIRST PRIZE ....: $3.00 SECOND PRIZE $2.00 THIRD TO SEVENTH PRIZE . . . $1.00 EACH Teachers or others may offer additional prizes, if they see fit * Contestants must wear their numbers until prizes are awarded and distributed. The distribution will occur at 3.30 P. M., in the High School Building on the day of the contest The maximum number representing each school or system in the first group lias been placed at 5 and the minimum at. 2. In the second, group the maximum representation will be 3 and the minimum 2. In addition to the individual prizes a pennant plaque or other suitable trophy will be awarded to the teanf wjiich makes the best record in each group. Under this new' plan all contestants are placed upon an equal basis, so far as possible. Each school or township teaohers' club may decide upon a method of selecting teams and such selections should be made from 6th, 7th or 8th grades in the lar^r schools or from the A grade in the smaller schools. Graduates of the Eighth or A grades, or students in the high school are. not eligible. Every school should be represented under this new plan. Entries may be made at any time up to the day of the contest, but it is desirable that they should be filed a few days in advance, so that we may have time to send the numbers for each contestant. OTHER DIRECTIONS. Contest to be based upon the spelling and use of 100 words. Ninety of these words to be Written, and the remaining ' ten to be used correctly -in sentences composed by the contestants at the- time of the contest All papers to be graded by a committee of representative "' teachers. Final judgment will be made by the committee. Said committee to mark, estimate and determine the same as soon as possible on the day of the contest. All papers to be marked upon the following points : (1) Correctness. (2) Legibility. (3) Neatness. (4) Language used in sentences. Upon receipt of names of contestants from your school, I shall send numbered cards and county school colors to be worn by pupils who are entered. Contestants must on no account fail to bring tjiese with them. It is our one means of identification. Desks in the school room will be marked by corresponding numbers and each contestant must occupy the desk containing his or her number. Ushers will be present to look after and place properly the contestants. The numbers are to be used, also, on the papers, in the contest, in the place of the names of the contestants. Please ejplain this carefully to pupils chosen to represent your school. All materials will be furnished In order that there may be no disturbing influences to mar the efforts or to hinder the concentration of contestants, no one will be admitted to the room in which the contest is to occur, excepting the contestants, the ushers, the examiners, and the committee in charge of the affair. The contest is not to be regarded ^^^a^pubUc^^^acle^ ' <*"

VETERANS MEET Francis Willard Tent, No. 1, of Cape May, held its regular meeting on Tuesday evening, January 25. e It was a very enthusiastic gather- * ing of the Daughters of Veterans, — they had recruited 15 new members = and -all were initiated as full members. The following are the names of those that became members: Cora Miller, Harriet Hughes, Ella Phillips, Mary Harris, Florence Edmunds, Rebecca Stevens, Bessie Stevens, Jennie little, Laura Eldredge, Anna Smith, Mary Porter, Helen Porter, Isabella Kennedy, Matilda Elliott, Alice Weeks. After the business was completed they all spent a very enjoyable evening and partook of a feast of ice cream and cake. It is a most creditable thing for Cape May to have such a noble 'and patriotic association in our city. It shows a true spirit of American _ Ideals, as there are still quite a num- — ber out side that should become members. It is to be hoped that the mothers of these daughters and their grand daughters will urge them to become connected with this noble band of women, so that this may be an inspiration for their daughters . and on to many generations to come. ' It will show to all other people and other nations that the "Spartan Mother" of old when not superior in their zeal and loyality to their country, loyal to all that is good and noble in womanhood, f A regular meeting will be held on r Tuesday evening, February 8th at 7:30 o'clock.
