Preparing for Fair-Teachers
Send Good Reports.

DISTRICT NO. Oh, 0UMMIT.
If care and perseverance count
and we all know they do, Distric
No. 81 will have some hue ex'
hibits at the Fair, especially
from the boy raising pumpkins.
One little girl who wanted to raise
onions but was afraid they would
not ripen here in time, will take
part in the ciphering. She is
glad that it does not require days
of sunshine but days of practice
to acquire perfection and rapidity
in her work. Good reports come
daily from the flower beds.

shall show what we can do.

SECOND REPORT, DISTRICT No
36, SUMMIT.
The following report is sent
from this district on matters con-
cerning the Fair in August: The
pupils from this district are very
entil siastic over the All Benton
School Fair. They manifest
much interest in most all the
lines of work, especially in the
growth OF their plants. for which
they nope to receive prizes, when
they reach maturity. One of the
girls, who is very quick in ci-
phering, will participate in that
contest and will surely win so me
laurels for the Summit school.
Several of the girls have decided
to enter the contest for bread
making, also the hand work in
sewing. We are all going to put
forth our very best efforts for one
of the best exhibits, and sincere
ly hope to win some of the honors
presented to the pupils of this
county. Very respectfully,
BELLE K. MATTLEY, Teacher.
DISTRICT No. Al, ALsEA.
Interest in the All Benton Fair
is being taken apoug the parents
and pupils of District No. Al OF
Alsea. Although the pupils are
lew in number, l think from in
dications that they are doing
their best and will make a good
showing at the Fair. Seeds have
long been planted, and the chill
dren are telling how fne ttseir
potatoes, corn, ETC., are beginning
to look. The BOYS are raising
vegetables while the girls are
taking more interest in the cook
ing and sewing departments. The
following pupils are expecting to
take part: Fredie Tharp, Vera
Tbarp, Harry Tharp. Mabel
'Charp, Minnie Slough, Mae
Banton, Elsa Banton, Leora
Wren, Bennie Wren, Eva Wren,
Gladys Rycraft, and Maud Ry-
craft. This Fair means very
mach to Benton county, and l
think the parents should take
more interest in the work of their
children. No better material ex-
ISIS thau that of District No. Al,
and i. the children have a little
encouragement, it is no telling
how much will be done, and now
many prizes will not be taken
with ease. Alsea is noted for the
fertility of her soil, and she will
not be far from the prize win
ner. Very respectfully,
EUNICE BALDWIN, Teacher.
