THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS BULLETIN No. 3024: June 22, 1930 WORDS FOR THE SPELLING and PLAIN WRITING CONTEST of the Interscholastic League Bureau Diivision of Extension .l'UBLISHBD BY THB UNIVERSITY FOUR TIMBS A MONTH, AND ENTERED AS SECOND·CLASS MATTER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT AUSTIN, TEXAS, UNDER THB ACT OF AUGUST U, 1912 FOREWORD Very few of the words used in last year's lists are included in the lists in this bulletin. There has been a radical change made in the spelling rules and teachers expecting to enter contestants should carefully study these changes which are detailed in the Constitution and Rules of the League, a copy of which is furnished free of charge to any member-school. In the contests this year, the State Adopted text in spelling will be used as a basis for a part of the contest at the county meet in Junior and Sub-junior divisions. Words given in the present lists are supplementary, practically none of them occurring in the State Adopted text. Teachers are advised to secure an adequate supply of League spelling lists early in the school year. During the months of December, January, and February, the demand for bulletins made upon the League Office is so great that our limited mailing force is unable to handle orders promptly. It is therefore the part of wisdom to secure your supplies early in the school-year. Attention of teachers is called to many valuable suggestions for teaching spelling contained in the introductory pages of the State Adopted text. ROY BEDICHEK, Chief, Interscholaatic League Bureau, E~tension Division, The University of Te~as. PRICE UST This bulletin is sold at 5 cents per copy; 50 cents per dozen; $8 per hundred. No lea,gue bulletins are sent C.O.D. Stamps are not accepted in payment for the lists. For additional copies of this bulletin address lnterscholaatic League, University Station.
