The Problem Stated* To sake aa analysis of the spelling of the children of the email er roral eohools of 3an Bernardino County » California : To determine ;(a) their ability to spell » and (b) the nature of their misspellings. Introduotion* San Bernardino County is one of the largest oounties in the United States. Beginning about thirty-six miles east of Lo8 -^^eles it extends to the eastern boxindary of the State of California, and embraoes an area of 19*94? 8qp.are miles. The sohools of the oounty are administered by a County Superintendent, who has one office assistant but no field assistant. There are several centers about which the schools are grouped more or less closely , and the superintendents of these systems are acting deputies of the County Superintendent, but work without extra compensation in this added capacity. Supervision of the actual work of the schools is limited, and teachers are Icirgely responsible for the product of their respective schools^ especially in the rural sohools. In December, 1920, Dr. Cyrus Mead of the University of California, Dsfpartment of i^ucation, distributed copies of a %mBt throughout the state for the purpose of collecting data to be used in a comparative study of the spelling ability of pupils in grades two to nine, inclusive, in rural schools. In town sohools, and in city schools* The words chosen were the last twenty words in the several col\imns of the Buckin^aa Brtension of the Ayres Scale which are standardized so that the giren class may be expected to spell 73 per cent of the woids oorreotly# All of the schools of San Bernardino Coxinty except three mall schools returned the papers of the ]?upils for use in the inrestigatlon. These papers came into the hands of the writer n^o obtained permission of Br* Head to make the special study here presented* The first part of the study dealt with the marks of the pupils as indlTiduals, by grades » and by schools* When these sarks were compared to the standard 73 per cent it was STldent that a farther study of the spellings woiild enable us to classify the miaspellings and ttous analyse these as a means of improTlng the spelling* A similar study had been made a few years before in a school of about a thousand elementary pup 11 s^ so it was determined at this time to make the study based on HkM work of the rural schools of the County, In the report of the misspellings we hare considered only schools of less than four teachers, with one exception which is noted later* The Test* The following instructions for glylng the tests were sent from the Uniyersity by Dr* Mead :- Instructions ; "Gire the list of twenty words to the ffradea deaJfrnfttftTJ as near December icth, 192c as is practicable. Do no teaching of the words* Provide your class with such materials as they reg- ularly use in a spelling lesson* Dictate the spelling lists» ■feQ the proTier 4pyaAegy as you would ordinarily in a written spelling period* If necessary , you may use a word in a sentence in order to make clear its meaning* Hare the pupils spell, how- erer, only tlie word. Collect and ^"^^X ali ^ pa-oeya on the per- centage basis, fire for each correctly spelled word. An omitted word should count as an incorrect spelling* It is not probable that many pupils will spell correctly all the words of their list. " -mim 5. She Word Lista* (By Grades).
