University of Texas Bulletin No. 1934: June 15, !919 Words for the Spelling Matches of the University Interscholastic League PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY SIX TIMES A MONTH, AND ENTERED Al SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT AUSTIN, TBXAS, UNDER THE ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912 PREFATORY NOTE The lists that follow represent an attempt to use in the spelling contests this year words in general use which are frequently misspelled. The lists were compiled by Mrs. Mary Doak, of the University Extension Department. Six copies of this bulletin will be furnished free to each school joining the Interscholastic League; extra copies, two cents each, or twenty cents per dozen. In order to make our spelling matches of the widest service, it is urged that these lists be used for regular spelling lessons. Let all the pupils in a school participate in the elimination contests for securing the school's repre­sentatives in the county contest. (For detailed rules, see the League Constitution and Rules.) Make this occasion a public contest and invite all the people in the community to attend. The final declamation and debating contests might be held at the same time, or better still, at other community meetings at the schoolhouse. Include in each program two or three good songs. The University Community Song Book will be sent to any address in Texas at 10 cents per copy. E. D. SHURTER, State Chairman.
