The Wisconsin State Fair now
ranks among the very best State Fairs
in the country. 1t is this year offer
ing nearly $40, 600 in cash prizes.
The fair to be held in Milwau-
kee, September Is II will evidently
surpass any preceding exposition in
exhib bits and at! ractions
When the committee appointed at
the annual school meeting to install
a new heating system in the south
school and to alter the north school
plant, came to consider the problem
and to make an estimate of the ap-
proxImate cost it was found that the
sum appropriated to do the work was
insufficient. Therefore they decided
to hold special meeting on the even
ing of July 26, for the purpose of vot-
ing an extra appropriation of ST., 600.
1t is hoped that good representation

There has been a slight decrease
this year in the number of those writ
ing for third grade certificates accord
ing to the records in the county
superintendent Office. Last summer
about eighteen wrote the examina-
tions in Lancaster and this summer
fifteen. At Boscobel last year the
number was twenty -four, exceeding
this years enrolment by. three. AT
Fennimore there was falling off this
summer of twenty-five, eighteen hav-
ing written last week and forty q
year ago. This decrease has not been
so noticeable at the examinations held
in Grant county as it has in other
counties of the state where it is feared
there will be dearth of rural school
teachers next fall. The requirement.
that applicants for third grade certi~
fcate shall take six weeks course
in a normal school Tor equivalent in
stitution) will make a great deal
of difference all over the state in the
number of country school teachers.
The decrease in Grant county above
noted is not complete, as Superin-
tendent Brockert has FIVE more places
in which ID hold examinations
Bloomington, Cassville, Potosi, Cuba
City and Plattveille.
