University of Texas Bulletin No. 2423: June 15, 1924 WORDS FOR THE SPELLING and PLAIN WRITING CONTEST of the Interscholastic League Division Bureau of Extension PUBLISHHD BY THE UNIVERSITY FOUR TIMES A MONTH, AND ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POSTOFFICB AT AUSTIN. TEXAS, UNDER THE ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912 SPELLING AND PLAIN WRITING CONTEST To contestants: Remember that this is a contest in plain writing as well as in spelling. An undotted 'i' or an uncrossed 't' is a miss and any letter which is unrecognizable if taken apart from its context is a miss. The way to tell whether or not a letter is unrecognizable if taken apart from its context is to lay a piece of paper on either side of the questionable letter in such a way as to cover the other letters in the word, leaving the letter in question visible. If the let­ter so taken apart from its context can not be recognized for what it is, the judges of your spelling paper will be justified in calling it a miss. It is very important, therefore, to learn to make your char­acters plainly, so that none may be mistaken for another. You should learn, also, all the pronunciations of a given word, if it has more than one pronunciation, for the person who pronounces the words to you in the contest may choose one or another pronunciation. Do not try to learn too .many words in a short time. Begin early in the school year and learn the list gradually and thoroughly. The words are chosen with great care, and you should know every word in the junior and sub-junior list if you are a junior, every word in the junior and senior lists if you are a senior; and every word in the sub-junior list if you are a sub-junior in age. A mistake in hyphenization or in capitalization is considered a miss. Contestants should read care­fully the "Instruction to Judges" printed in the spelling rules in the Constitution and Rules. To the teacher: Students should be familiarized with their re­spective lists gradually. All cramming should be avoided as the edu­cational value of the contest is lost if cramming is resorted to. Give written tests at regular intervals beginning as early in the year as possible. Try the old-fashioned spelling down process for oral prac­tice, as that will add zest to the work of mastering the list, arrange spelling relays, elc., as spelling is a subject in which artificial stim­ulation of interest is justifiable. (Note.-Words which sound alike but have different meanings should be carefully presented to students. In most instances they are indicated in this list by a short phrase in italics, but in case you iind a homonym not so indicated, be careful to call the attention of your students to it.) Suggestions for the betterment of this list will be welcomed and should be addressed to the editor of the list, Roy Bedichek, University Station, Austin, Texas. For rules governing the contest, see the Constitution and Rules. It is very important that the Director of Spelling secure competent pronouncers at the county contest. Pronouncers should be secured in advance so that they may look up the pronunciation of words con­cerning which they are unc<>rtain.
