Sunday following each quarterly meeting.
There were only two schools-Mars'
Hill and County Line-that entered con
test for the banner. The judges consider
ing that Mars Hill school sang better, the
banner was awarded to them 1t is hoped
that more schools will manifest greater
interest in singing and will enter the con-
test for the banner at our next annual
meeting.
The singing by the two above named
schools was excellent The next quarterly
meeting will be held at Smyrna. Let me
urge all district superintendent and dele

be greatly benefited thereby.
