Display of Agricultural Pro-
ducts Raised by School
Children.
PREMIUMS ANNOUNCED.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MAKES
STATEMENT RELATIVE TO THE
DISPLAY.

| d. S. Bowman, of Hagerstown, Sec
rotary of the Wayne County board
of education has issued a circular set
ting forth the plans for the second an
grown by the pupils of the County
schools. The exhibit will take place
September 26 to 18th.
The circular issued by the board of
education reads as follows:
1t is with pleasure that We, the
Board of Trustees of Wayne County,
announce our second annual exhibit
of agricultural products by the school
children of our county.
1t is the purpose of the Board to
make this exhibit an auxiliary to the
subject of agriculture, which has re-
Gently been added to the course of
study by the state.
1t is generally conceded that a
youth should be trained for the farm
just as he is trained for any other
occupation. Even if this were not
true, agriculture is an ideal nature
study because every one has easy ac-
cess to his kind of work, and many
of the pupils are actually engaged in
some phase of this work whether by
choice or otherwise.
To increase an interest in the above
named work we respectfully submit
the following premium list with the
hope that all may find it to interest
to prepare something for exhibition
We kindly invite both patrons and
pupils to attend the exhibit at the
Court House during the week of Sep
TENDER 26 to %, 1906.
Yours truly,
J. MANNING, President
L. S. BOWMAN, Secre tary
