University of Texas Bulletin No. 2623: June 15, 1.-926 WORDS FOR THE SPELLING and PLAIN WRITING CONTEST of the INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE BUREAU Division of Extension PUBLISHED BY THH UNIVERSITY FOUR TIMES A MONTH, AND ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT AUSTIN, TEXAS, UNDER THE ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912 FOREWORD To contestants.-Remember that this is a contest in plain writing as well as in speUing. An undotted "i" or an uncrossed "t" is a miss and any malformE?d 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 1J. 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 hn:portant, 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 pronm:1ciation, 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 ~uh-junior list if you are sub-junior in age. A mistake in hypheniza­tion or in capitalization is considered a miss. 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 res.orted 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, etc., 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 tndicated in this list by a short phrase in italics, but in case you find 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 Roy Bedichek, University Station, Austin, Texas. For rules governing the contest, see the Constitution and Rules. It is very importan~ that the Director of Spelling secure competen,t pronouncers at the county contest. Pronouncers should be secured in advance so that they may look up the pronunciation of words con­ cerning which they are uncertain.
