12th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 12th National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. on May 26, 1936, at the National Museum. Scripps Howard would not sponsor the Bee until 1941.
The winner was Jean Trowbridge, age 13, of Iowa, with the word ''eczema''. Thirteen-year-old Bruce Ackerman, of Tazewell County, Illinois, who took 3rd the prior year, came in second. Catherine Davis, 13, of Indiana took third, falling on "shrieking."〔(30 May 1936). (Best Speller Stumbles over Word Nemesis ), ''The Afro American''〕〔(27 May 1936). (Dictionaries Help Crown Iowa Girl Spelling Champ ), ''Daily Illini''〕
In the final rounds, Trowbridge was first disqualified for "numskull," which Ackerman then spelt as "numbskull" followed by "gnome" for the apparent win. The judges then realized that "numskull" was an acceptable spelling, and the contest continued. Ackerman misspelled "predilection" a few words later, which Trowbridge spelled correctly followed by "eczema" for the win.〔
The final hour of the competition was broadcast on radio on the Columbia broadcasting system.〔(23 May 1936). (Portland Boy Entrant in Nat'l Spelling Bee ), ''Lewistown Daily Sun''〕
