The Journal begS leave to call the
attention of the Teachers of the
County to the article in this paper
written by DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt,
in regard to the premiums offered
by the State Fair for exhibits of
Minerals by pupils of the public
schools of the state. Jackson has a
greater variety of minerals than
any county in North Carolina and
has the richest and most extensive
deposits of a number of minerals
of any County. Therefore
there is absolutely no reason why
every one of these premiums should
not be won by boys and girls of the
schools of Jackson County. It
would reflect credit on the County.
on the schools, on the teachers and
on the pupils and would bring the
claims Of this county most force
fully before the world. We conceive
it to be duty which the public
school teachers of this county owe
TO their county to see to it that
IS represented in this department at
the State Fair. The teachers will.
no doubt, see this opportunity and
make the most of it
