School Notes.

The announcement concerning the
industrial education contests in last
weeks Gazette-Times seems to have
aroused considerable interest throug-
out the county, IL the teachers have
not called attention to these contests
| hope that the pupils will inquire
about the matter further.
The prize for the best article on
Back too the Farm will be only
$1,000 instead of the amount stated in
last weeks issue. However, that is
worth trying for.
MIS-. Missidine, the teacher of the
Balokhorse school, reports the greatest
enthusiasm among her pupils since
they have received the bulletins. We
hope for similar reports from every
school. Let us not lose sight of the
contests.
