BIG INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL CONTEST
WILL BE HELD IN WARREN
OCTOBER 10TH.
County Superintendent Mithun
Urges Everybody 10 Attend.
Bring the Children.

Bring the Children.
This is not going to be small
affair, but on the contrary one of the
most important undertakings for the
young boys an girls, and it is due
them that every teacher, especially,
and school officer, as well as parent,
take an active part in the contest and
make a real effort to be present.
This may prove to be the best real
teachers meeting as well as profit
able school officers convention, and
it is our belief that every school
officer shold be present at one of
these contests. Come to the one
nearest to you and ask for your GER
tificates for mileage and So. and you
may have it, same as at any of our
regular school officers conventions.
The contest has been advertised
pretty generally among the boys and
girls, but more so among our teachers
thru the papers and at the summer
school anad we hope to find no school
in Marshall County, on our visits dur.
ing this school year, which has not
been informed.
We are almost sure that all our
home teachers will be present with
their entire schools-they never
fail us-and we hope that the new
teachers and especially teachers from
other counties will fall in line with us,
explain the contest to the pupils, help
them to arrange exhibits, and encour-
age them to be present, or to send
their exhibits, as this is due us by
those who have secured positions
here, if they wish to remain.
We have no more bulletins on hand
as they have all been distributed, nor
can we obtain any more from the
state as the supply is entirely ex-
is no school district in our county, lest
some of the children have received
information regarding the contest as
both bulletins and circulars have been
sent to every school officer, so the
teachers need but ask for information
to obtain it.
We have not finished collecting all
the prize moneys, nor completed our
prize list, at the time of this issue,
but will be satisfied with that end of
the work as we shall have about $400
in prizes ranging from 81 down.
There will be from five to ten prizes
on every subject, or article, named in
the Farm circular, issued by superin.
tendent A. D. Wilson, superintendent
of the Farmers institute and presi.
dent of the Industrial Contest for the
state.
Superintendent Wilson will very
likely be with us personally and act
as Judge, or he will send competent
judges from the State Agricultural
School.
