TOWNSHIP CONTESTS
WELL ATTENDED
Selected for County
Meeting Here.
Interest Manifested in This Spelling,
Adding and Writing Rivalry is
Very Encouraging.

| The second annual township con-
tests andchOice of representatives for
the county contest in spelling, add
ing and writing, to be held in Lam
caster!on Friday, May 9, under di-
rection of j. G.. Brockert, superin-
tendent of schools we're held in
nearly all of the towns of the coun-
ty last Friday, in spite of the very
unfavorable weather and condition
of the country roads.
The result proves that the vari-
Gus schools are greatly interested in
this event and are out earnestly af-
ter the honors. Many visitors were
also present at these township con-
tests, testifying by their presence
the interest they take in the work.
In few instances weather condi-
tons compelled postpOnement un-
til next Friday, the goth, and it is
possible two or three towns may
send contestants to the county meet
ing direct, without holding a town
ship contest for their selection.
1t is pleasing to note the interest
taken in this valuable movement
for advancement and thOroughness
in these three fundamental studies
and there is every reason to expect
that the county contest will surpass
In interest, attendance and bene-
fetal results the successful meeting
of last year.
Following are the results in the
