ing to country towns. In many towns,
of course. there is positive need for
central playground while in others
the movement is merely fad.
The success of the last county
adding, spelling, and writing contest

has been a revival of interest through
out the state in rural school contests.

eighty three held in Wisconsin. They
were reported as follows: Arithmetic
