WAS A BIG
SUCCESS
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL CONTEST
AT WARREN LAST SATURDAY.


fled success from every point of
view. Not only was the attendance of
pupils, school officers and parents
very largebut the number and excel
lency of the exhibits also challenged
the admiration of everybody, prov
ing beyond doubt that the pupils at
tending the country schools, will when
rightly guided, take an interest in
practical farm work, and that as far
as Marshall county is concerned the
tendency is to educate toward the
farm and not away from it.
The display of all kinds of vege-
tables was fine especially of potatoes,
for the growing of which our soil is
very we'll adapted. But the corn ex.
hibit proved to be the most interest
ing as many do not realize that this
grain is being grown here success
fully year after year. The display OF
small grain was also very creditable.
In cooking and sewing there were
many entries, the girls being no whit be
hind the boys in showing their skill
and handiwork. There were cakes
there that would do credit. to any
housewife, and the needle work was
we'll and neatly done.
Prof. McNilley, of the agricultural
department of the Mcintosh High
School, was the Judge af the agri-
cultural products, and Miss Hartzell.
science teacher Of the same institu-
ton, Judged the sewing and cooking.
Both performed their difficult tasks in
careful and satisfactory manner.
The impetus given to better farm
ing and better housekeeping by this
contest is bound to be very great,
and Marshall county will reap the
benefit. Too much credit cannot be
given to county superintendent Mithun
for breaking away from the rut and
Manning to educate the childen along
practical lines. He has worked hard
and earnestly to get teachers as we'll
as scholars interested in this work,
which cannot help but bring forth
good fruit in the years to come, when
these bows and girls succeed their
parents on the farm.
Three special prizes OF So each
were awarded as follows: To Miss
Mary Phillipson for coming the longes
distance, to Miss Ruth Rankin for hav
ing the largest number of pupils IN
