The 14th National Spelling Bee was held at the National Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 31, 1938.[1] Scripps-Howard would not sponsor the Bee until 1941.

The winner was 12-year-old Marian Richardson, who attended a one-room schoolhouse in Floyd County, Indiana, correctly spelling the word sanitarium. Jean Pierce of Kenmore, New York placed second after failing to correctly spell pronunciation.[2][3]

Winner Marian Richardson, later Byrnes, became an environmental activist in Chicago, and died on May 20, 2010.[4]
