CORN CONTESTS INCREASING.
Twenty-eight Counties are Already
Holding Corn Contests and In
dustrial Exhibits.

State Superintendent Lawrence was
in Canton last week, and while visit
ing the LEADER office informed the
Editor that corn contests for boys and
Industrial exhibits for girls of the
rural schools, are being held in
twenty-eight counties, and he hopes
to have fifty counties engaged in this
great educational work before another
year.
The school officers and the boys and
girls in every county, not already en-
gagged in the work, are becoming
deeply interested and are seeking in
formation as to the manner Of organi-
alton, and during a meeting of the
school officers Of Grant county at Mil
bank last month, this question was
under discussion when State Superin-
tendant Lawrence was called upon for
information. He gave them an out
line OF the organization work in Lin
coin county. and how school districts
contributed cash to cover the expense
Of the contests. Grant county has SO
school districts, and every district
was represented, and when the aues-
tion Of providing support came up,
every school officer voted in favor Of
contributing SIS from each district,
and Grant County now proposes to
get into the corn business with a rush.
Everywhere the same spirit prevails
because the fathers and mothers real
ize what 1t mean In the shape of
education along lines that means hap
piness and wealth for the farmers of
the state.
Superintendent Lawrence has also
taken under consideration the Ques-
rion Of providing a free short course
term of four months for n boy in
each county who raises the best 10
lars Of corn under regulations to be
provided In a law covering the matter
to be introduced in the next legisla-
ture. Prof. Lawrence discussed the
matter with the Bookings college
oficials, and they think it is one OF
the best schemes to educate the boys

In response TO your request for an ex-
o. sssion Of opinion on our part relative
to the National Junior Republic, we beg
to say that all the information We have
bearing on the aims and objects of the
organization is of such a character that
It should meet with the hearty indorse-
ment of all public-spirited citizens who
have the best interests of the country at
hSart.
The very nature of the training which
they receive is calculated TO instiI and
inspire that patriotism and love of coun-
try which is 20 essential 10 our material
weii-being.
The character Of the work which Is
outlined should equip them to become
good and useful citizens. The training
hhat they receive makes them self-re-
liant, and imposes a sense of duty which
necessarily will serve them well when
they attain the age in life which brings
them to a fun realization of what IT
means to be good and useful citizens of
this great republic
