The value Of this last statement
is greatly enhanced when it is
known that in the educational de-
partment alone over $500 will be
offered in prizes.
The educational department will
be better systematized this year
than it has ever been before This
being due largely to the many
much advised changes made in
that department. The premium list
has been carefully and studiously
gone over by those thoroughly
competent to handle such revision,
with a result that promises much
in the way Of an exhibit.
As director OF the educational
department it Is hardly probable
that the management could have
secured one more capable. than Mr..
Jesse B. Davis, principal of Central
High School at Grand Rapids Mr..
Davis is recognized throughout the
country as one Of our greatest ed
Gators, being one of the first to
champion and develop the voca-
tional idea for public schools.
Associated with Mr.. Davis in the
educational department will be
Mr.. Chas. M. Mills also of that city
as supervisor Of the exhibit.
One Of the departures in the pre-
MUM list and rules for exhibits in
the educational dept. from what
has been the custom heretofore
Is that beginning with the kinder
garten and continuing to the
eighth grade inclusive, premiums
will be offered for the best col
fsctive exhibit OF work done by the
pupils In the several grades Of
the public and parochial schools OF

than this, the experience OF this
contest will be revelation Of

this knowledge and the world
needs Better Babies"
This movement which is being
introduced for the first time in this
section of Michigan is in no sense
local but as wide as the boundar-
les of the continent. The most
eminent and progressive physi-
clans of our country have become
ardent and vigilent supporters Of
this movement and are magnaim-
mously contributing OF their time.
and talent to the end that we may
know, as we never before have
known, what a perfect type Of
child at a given age should be.
In order to further stimulate
interest in this contest that many
babies may be entered the fair
management offers over $3.50 in
cash prizes in this con-
test alone. Already much interest
is taken-the fact being evidenced
by the large number Of inquiries
which the management have re-
ceived so far.
This department which is known
as the dept. of child hygiene will
be under the able supervision Of
DIR. Collins HI. Johnson of Grand
Rapids as dept. director. The ex-
aiming specialists will view
babies in Section "B" of the large
Merchants Building.
The contest as defined by the
bulletin will be divided into three
separate contests; one for babies
in the larger cities of the state,
another for those in the small
cities and towns, and the third for
babies in villages and rural dis
tricts and will be held on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday re-
spectivcly Of Fair week. In each
contest four sets of the following
prizes will be offered; $40, 81 and
SIS, making a total of 1854. Then
above all these the Womans lieme
Companion will award each of the
two babies (boy and girD receiv-
ing the highest score cash
prize of $50.
On Thursday, September 4, at 400
p. M, all babies in the various
contests will be assembled on the
large stage in front of the Grand
Stand and names of successful con-
testants, together with names and
addresses of parents will be given.
A Post Card addressed to Sec.
Kennedy at Grand Rapids will
bring one of the bulletins which
further explains the contest.

first five days in September. The
bulletin points out that this con-
test is for "The Most Perfect
Baby in Michigan" stating as
matter of explanation that
"The contest is to be vastly diff
ferent from a Beauty Show, a con-
test where the Art of Dressing
and Decorating dominate. Each
mother knows that her baby is the
sweetest, the smartest and the
most beautiful baby in Michigan
Even the ruling of all the commit
tees in the SWorld would not
change her views on these points
What she does not know however
and what the contest will tell her

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF MICH
IGAN STATE FAIR TO BE BEST EVER

one selection each OF tho various
divisions named in the classifica-
| ton and must consist OF not less
than one-half and not to exceed
three-quarters OF the full classi-
fication, the teachers Of each
grade making an exhibit are at lib
| erty to choose which divisions are
to be omitted. Awards will be
made on the entire exhibit Of the
grade instead Of each separate ex-
hibit as of heretofore. The prizes
in this department range all the
way from 50, IS, 81, and $40 for the
best kindergarten exhibit to 81,
$12, $l5, and $40 for the best eighth
grade exhibit. Also, under this
classification is n division for spec
ial schools euch as those for excep-
.tional or defective children.
Those schools which are organ
lied on departmental basis with
special teachers in art and manual
training and which are usually
known las Junior High Schools will
not be permitted to enter the reg
ular seventh and eighth g;ado
classifications as special de-
partment Is provided for their ex-
hibit.
One Of the features OF the de-
partment for high schools is
contest for the best essay on "Agri-
cultural Advantages Of Western
Michigan" Each essay is to include
a discussion of grain, fruit, vege-
tables and live stock together with
the natural conditions and facil-
tiles contributing to the raising
and marketing of the product.
Nature study contests for pupils
of both grammar and high schools
will be held. The Contest will be
conducted by exposing to view
specimens Of birds native to Mich
igan. The contestants will be ask
ed to name as many of the birds SO
exposed as they can.
Both school and home garden
tests will be held in which cases
photographs of the gardens will
be exhibited and judged from. Last
but not least will be the spelling
contest which will also be in two
divisions one Tor pupils Of city
schools and the other for those in
village or township schools.
1T Is anticipated that all these
noteworthy changes and additions
will prove such an incentive that
the educational exhibit alone will
be we'll worth the time and ex-
pense of going hundreds of miles
to see. Heretofore the exhibits Of
this nature have been very fine
becoming better and better with
each succeeding year but none of
them will be comparable with the
one which it is expected those, who
attend the fair this year, will have
the opportunity OF viewing.
Boys and girls spend days in the
pursuit of a knowledge of the in
tricate and technical questions
which confront them but there in
one week with the stimulating sur
roundings and the opportunities
not provided elsewhere they will
rivit to their memories the most
finished works of nature as it has,
with the cooperation OF scientific
man, wrought its wonders.
To these will be added the a.
chievements OF mechanical skill
and genius until no matter which
way they turn they will be in con-
tact with the latest and most po-
tent methods of the worlds work,
thus filling their mind with ideas
which will impress their lives as
well as the lives OF those with
whom they live.
