meeting and the pupils and teachers OF
the several dictficts attended in body.
A fine exhibit from each school was
attfactively arranged in the hall and we
are proud to say that the display Of
school work, prepared and arranged by
the pupils, was most meritorious one,
rejecting great credit on both teachers
and pupils.
The teachers who under the instruct
ions of Mrs Avery, supervised the plac-
ing OF this exhibit are Miss Dora X Hoy,
OF Bruneau school Miss Ruth Nc Fadden
Of Middle District School; Mrs. M
Russell OF Hot Spring School; and Miss
Marjorie Swarm of Little Valley School,
In the absence OF the chairman of the
COMMITTEES on arrangements, the acting
chairman called attention to the fact
that provision had been made for morn
ing, afternoon and evening sessions.
The speakers at the morning session
were Mr.. ID. r Hubbard President Of
the State Fair Association, who spoke
on the subject of Hog raising and he
was followed by the State Horticultural
Inspector, Mr. Mcpherson, who gave a
very interesting lecture on the Scare
and Planting of Fruit Trees" He also
explained the laws of this state relative
to spraying and in plain and forceful
language told the fruit-growers what
they must do. Every fruit-grower of
this section was present and manifested
great interest in what the Inspector had
To say.

We feel that we are unable to express
our appreciation to these noted educators,
for their visit to this section of the Seem
State" and we sense deeply the debt we
owe them
However, we also realize that we have
a beautiful valley and that Bruneau is
, on the map. We wish to thank our
County Superintendent Mrs. Avery, and
our teacher MISS Dora K Hoy for se-
! curing such able instructors and lecturers.
i We were glad indeed to hear the State
Superintendent speak of organization, as
we know that it is the keystone of the
! arch, yes it is more than that, it is the
granite base upon which all successful
institutions rest. Without intelligent,
capable organization no business under
taking ofany moment can hope to achieve
success, no matter how brilliant or al.
Turing the field may at first appear
Every great undertaking, every success
? ful venture in recent years, has been
| consummated only through organization
1 She also told us that Cooperation
should be the slogan, and that the whole
educational system, OF its fabric, hac
been pretty well reconstructed during
the last few years. She firmly believes
that organization and Cooperation ars
the best means for attaining the desired
end and her ideas find favor in this com
E munity.

e gave a splendid lecture on the compo
r sition Of soils and proper selection 0

with Prof. Olin and are already looking

to return to this section again. WheI
he does, he will receive hearty welcome
