WabassO HOsDitable

The people of Wabasso opened their
homes to both pupils and teachers
from out of town and were most hos
pitable in their treatment of the
guests. The school boys of Wabasso
are particularly deserving of credit
for their helpfulness in plotting the
strangers about town, running err
rands and their general helpfulness.
Parents were present from all parts
of the county as we'll as many school
officers, and all manifested the great
est interest in the proceedings. Many
of the school districts paid the ex-
penses of their representatives and
some of their teachers as well. The
behavior of the children was ideal,
whether accompanied by their par
ents or not, and the contest was de-
cidedly successful down to it's small
lest detail. Much of the credit for
this success is due to Mrs. Pratt,
who worked earnestly in making prep
arations for this meeting. Mrs. Pratt
is constant inspiration to the pupils
and teachers working under her direc-
ton and this was very evident at the
Wabasso meeting.
