EXHIBIT BEING PREPARED
Preparations Being Made for Ed
ucationaI Exhibit TO be Shown
in Douglas Next Year.

We are in communication of the fol-
lowing communication from the COM
mittee on educational exhibits who
have the issue at heart to institute and
maintain a system of educational insti.
tutions in our state that will not lack a
point in efficiency. The first thing for
them to do is to create interest, and to
offer such inducements as will bring
the desired result. We are all inter
ested in our schools and know that Il
high standard of educational advant-
ages is the one feature which has
more TO do with rapid and permanent
development Of a country than any
other which we might enumerate.
1t is the duty of us, as Individuals, as
well as those who + directly connect-
ed with the schools, to see hat every
interest which we might manifest be
given to the promoters OF this, the
greatest feature of L country.
Fellow teachers and school officers:
You will find attached a copy of the
rules adopted by the committee on
school exhibit, relative to the educa-
tional exhibit for nex year. The COM
mittee is sending a copy of these rules
to every school teacher ard officer in
Wyoming. Your cooperation and help
are needed, if the exhibit is to be q
success. The exhibits held in Casper
and Douglas were successful far be-
yond expectations: now, let us make
the next one Il greater success.
This exhibition is not organized for
the purpose of causing i%ealousies be-
every school in the state into closer
union and harmony. BY putting on en-
hilton a complete display of school
work from the entire state, much may
able school Legislation. Citizens of
Wyoming will realize the vast work
we are doing under present conditions
and recognizing the justice of revising
our school laws. Strangers from other
states will be favorably impressed by
our schools, for to men and with
children, a good school is an important
point in deciding upon a new home.
Absolutely no restrictions are put
upon the kind of work a school may
send, the main point is to send some
thing. You will notice that rule W
limits the mount of work a school may
send to hat necessary, to show the
educational principle employed. This
is a necessary restriction until such a
time as the schools of Wyoming shall
have a separate building at the state
fair.
Steps should be taken at nee to or
ganize your exhibits. The time is
none too long. Next fall send your en-
hibits to Douglas several days before
the fair opens, so that your county sup
erintendent, or whoever may have
charge, may have ample time to ar
range it.
Each member of the committee stands
ready to do all in his power to assist
teachers in preparing their exhibits.
Feel free to write to them, asking
questions or giving suggestions.
Supt. j. N. Peck of Douglas, is now
at work securing space for the exhibit.
He will be glad to hear from the teach
ers relative to hat part of the exhibit.
An early interest manifested on the
part of the teachers will greatly help
him in this work.
Let all the teachers and school Off
GERS in Wyoming join in this enter
prise; and then we will prepare an eX-
hibit worthy of our great state.
