The Mother of a Prize Speller 
I notice in Tub R, X.-Y. for October 
21 an article on the recent State Fair 
spelling boo. and one part D not correct. 
I have noticed the same mistake in sev¬ 
eral papers, said mistake being made 
first bv a Syracuse paper. The “Long 
Island youngster" wr • not "plagued" by 
the word "plaguy.” as Giat word was not 
given until after he was declared the 
winner and out of the race. The word 
that William Payne missed was "accu¬ 
mulation.” and Commissioner Graves 
said lie was sure the lad know how to 
spell that word, and that he had all the 
letters in but had transposed the letters 
"1" and “in." as no doubt he was tired 
and confused after three hours’*of spell¬ 
ing. As I was present at the contest I 
know that the statements T have made 
are correct. If may interest you to know 
that William Payne did not misspell it 
single word in any of the preliminary 
contests in the district, town or county 
previous to his entering the contest at 
Syracuse. ■ Also that he did not misspell 
but one word during the entire year in 
his own school, and missed that void be- 
i-anse he misunderstood be word given 
by the teacher and spelled a word which 
he thought was the one given, and it was 
counted a miss. mrs. a. .t. payxe
