Mae Thursby, of 'Pittsburg, was a tie with the little negro girl, spelling all of the words, but her teammates failed her, and she with her class took second place. Her class missed forty-five written and two oral tests, while the Cleveland class missed only thirty-eight written and three oral.

New Orleans missed fifty-two written and four oral, while Erie missed seventy-six written and two oral. "Misspelled," one of the test words, was, by an odd coincidence, among the most freely misspelled in the list. "Divisible" had its terrors for many, too, while "accommodate" was a popular stumbling block. "Sovereign," "cemetery," "negroes," "restaurant" and "professor" also proved difficult.
