School Day at the Fair.

With the assistance of the other
members of the educational COM
mittee, and some good suggestions
from others who are deeply inter-
ested in the work, l have decided
to hold a School Board Convention
on the Sth of September. At this
gathering l would like to see at
least one member of every school
board in the county. The chair
man OF each district, according to
the school law, is the one to attend,
but in case it is impossible for him
to come he should see that some
member of the board does come. If
you have school law please read
page 81, it will do you good. 1t
was my intention to have Super
intendent Alderman here with us,
to see that we do the work well,
but he tells me that it will be i'm
possible for him to come at that
time. He mentioned Prof. Lewis
K. Alderman as one of the shining
lights on the educational staff of
Oregon who can do the work that
he wished to do as well as any
might find. Prof. Alderman will
be here with all his personal mag
netism and that boundless supply of
enthusiasm that he always has for
such occasions.
There will be interesting talks by
members of the school boards from
different parts of the county. In
these talks the speaker will make
known the needs of the school in
his district or in his part of the
county. Prof. Alderman will then
tell him what to do to secure these
needs. He will also tell you of
things about which you have not
yet thought, that will be of the
greatest Importance to you. The
schools of Lincoln county are COM
ing to the front and while they are
on the move we, one and all, should
assist so their speed will forever be
increased.
The Fair is going to be by far the
best the county has had, and we
wish to make the educational part
at least equal to, if not better, than
any Of the rest.
This convention is not for the
directors alone, it is for all who are
interested in the education of our
boys and girls, so l will say come
one, come all and find out what is
being done and what will be done.

that | am we'll pleased with my 10.
cation at Pierre and business has been
very good with US in fact since the
date of our opening one year ago.
] might add that we have just been
successful in obtaining through the
Ford & Johnson Company of Chicago
the furniture contract of $4,000 for
the new state capitol building in this
state. This, Of course makes me feel
that South Dakota is a good place
to live and that we are receiving our
share of the good things which it has.
We had very strong competition on
this deal, in fact there were seven
bidders besides ourselves, some of
which were among the strongest in
the country. Our excellent line up
of samples and sketches, however
secured for US the contract by the
first and unanimous vote of the
capitol commission.
| understand that Great Bend is
growing quite rapidly, and l am glad
to know that this is the case. l hope
to be able to make a short visit there
this fall, bringing father back to
Kansas for the winter; however, / an
not fully decided as yet to this.
With kind personal regards, l an
