TO EKABLE POOR SPELLERS TO SPELL Dr. Herman Platt Contributes Inter citing Paper to New York School Journal. SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT The School Journal, a New York publication devoted to the interests of the public schools, and one of the highest grade Journals of its kind in the country, this week publishes- a two page article toy Dr. Herman S. Platt of the Coshocton schools, on "An Experiment in Spelling." Superintendent Piatt tells interestingly of "his research in the work and from it evolves the following conclusions: 1 From ten to fifteen minutes is as much time as can profitably be used In the preparation of a spelling lesson.

Beyond these limits the law of diminishing returns becomes so potent that any increase In returns involves a tremendous waste of time. 2 Mixed hand and eye preparation yields the best results, time considered, for the general body of pupils. 3 If only one kind of preparation is used, hand preparation yields the best results. "4 Mere scanning of the written or printed words is the most wasteful form of preparation. 5 For good and average spellers, writing the words about five times yields the maximum results for written preparation alone.

Beyond this limit, there is no gain commensurate the time consumed. 6 For poor spellers hand preparation alone is best. Writing the words about ten times gives maximum results, -time considered. Beyond this there is no commensurate gain, even for them. 'When interviewed by The Age on the article, Dr.

Piatt said: "The experiment involved about 150 pupils in the Bancroft school and the general purposes and results of the undertaking are sufficiently set forth in the article. The following teachers co-operated in the experiment, and it Is THE OLD ROJABLE POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE to their intelligent and painstaking assistance that the success of the undertaking is due: Miss Nellie McGinnis. Miss Agnes Ingham, Miss Carrie Wagner, and Miss Jennie Williams. 'he results of the investigation are believed to be of great value to every chool where spelling is taught."

The finding of the supreme court sustains that of the circuit and the defendant, Pren Metham, is the real vie tbr. The case has been pending in the courts for over three years. The suit was originally brought by Samuel H. Israel, as administrator of his father's estate, to declare a trust in title to r.iuety-five acres of land in Bedford township and to compell to account for the rents and profits. Israel's father and Col.

Metham owned a farm of 134 acres in partnership. By a contract existing between them, Metham held possession to manage and rent the farm, April 1, 1SS6, they had a settlement. Samuel Isreal, died in 1SS9. His son was appointed executor and had a settlement with Col. Metham the next April.

Later the suit was instituted to cor- rest the accounting. At the March term of common pleas court in 1900 a decision was handed down granting a judgment against Metham for $1537 56. The circuit court practically reversed this decision and reduced the amount of the judgment to $350. It held that Oie settlement between Col. Metham and the executor was a correct one and that each party was entitled to one- half of the land.

The supreme court aflirms this decision but finding there were reasonable grounds for the proceedings in error, assesses no penalty against the plaintiff. Captain E. W. James represented Col. Metham in the case and J.

Waight and W. M. Koon brought the suit for Israel. The mayors of all the larger places like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo. Dayton, Sandusky, Zanesville and other cities are running for reelection, and Jones of Toledo for the fourth time.

Ingalls in Cincinnati and Johnson in Cleveland are credited with being candidates this year for the Democratic nomination for governor as well as for the mayoralty of their respective cities, and next year for the presidency. The election is also closely watched on account of its bearing on the candidacy of Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland for the Republican nomination for governor and on the re-election of Senator Hanna. The legislature selected next November elects Hanna's successor, and the control of the municipalities is considered of importance in the coining state election. Senator Hanna, while taking special interest in the contest in his own city, has been as far south as Dayton to speak in this campaign.

While the result is thus considered as indirectly affectmg the coining election of state officers and members of the legislature, it is also conceded that it will nave a bearing- at Cleveland on both the Democratic and the Republican nominations for governor, and at Cincinnati that it may develop the Democratic opponent of Senator Hanna as well as affect the next nomination for governor. Democratic Thousand Frauds Claimed. Cleveland, April 6. Burton Horn and Edwin Parkin, employes of the Cleveland City Railway company, who live in Lakewood, a suburb of this city, were arrested at the instigation of the board of elections for alleged false registration in the city of Cleveland. The 20 detectives who have been working on the registration for the election have reported that there are 1,600 cases where there may be fraudulent registration.

Consequently there is a policeman within and without each booth in several of the wards where illegal registration is said to have been greatest- Bryan In Conference. Cincinnati, April 6. William Jennings Bryan was here en route to Titusville. Pa. Owing to what he has said in the Commoner about Melville E.

Ingalls, the Democratic fusion candidate for mayor of Cincinnati, it was reported that Colonel Bryan had come here for some purpose on the eve of the election, but that was denied by all who were with him. Among those in conference with him were Herbert Bigelow, the Democratic candidate last November for secretary of state; Judge Tarvin and many leading Democrats. Colonel Bryan will be here again two weeks hence, when there will be a conference of leaders.
