exhibits, take the matter up with
some of your progressive people and

The Premium list for 1914 is so
arranged that any school may make
exhibit of only one or more particular
kinds or may make collective

O73.OO. The exhibits have brought
to the attention of the thousands
who visit the fair each year, the
best things being done by large
number of progressive rural, town
and city schools of the state. The ex-
hibits have shown the organization,
the work and the results of effort on
the part of teachers, principals, city
and county superintendent and
boards of education to adapt the
working power of the schools to the
needs of the communities served.
The interest in better schools is
rapidly increasing. The state fair
educational exhibit aids very mater
tally in establishing ideals in the
minds of school patrons, teachers
and school officers. 1t helps to bring
a proper recognition to schools which
are doing good work in particular
lines and to encourage the spreading
of good methods, good systems of
operation, and good facilities for
work of the right kind.
School patrons from every county
visit the state fair. They are disap-
pointed when they find no exhibit of
any kind from their home county.
Will you have a part in this educa-
tional exhibit? Will you show to
your own home people and to the
thousands of others who visit the
state fair, some good work from the
school or schools under your man
agement? If you will, read careful
ly the following pages, decide on
some particular exhibit you wish to
make, and write at once for reser-
walton of space.
Teachers know the advantage COM

TRADE MEN DISAPPROVE
SALARY FOR AUDITOR.
Law Committee of Board Of Trade
VIII Submit Adverse Report at
Annual Meeting.

In the ofIiclal announcement Of the
Board OF Trade, giving notice of It's an
inual meeting November al the New
willard, special attention is called 70
the report OF. the committee on law, which
viii be the only one read. with the excep-
tion Of the papers OF the officers
The COMMITTEES places special stress on
the results Of its Investigations Of the
bill now before the House. which faxes the
remuneration OF the auditor OF the Dis
tIfct Supreme Court at a stated salary.
doing away with the present reimburse
ment In fees.
The bill meets with the unanimous dis
approval of every member Of the COM
naittee and they also claim that an over
whelming objection to the bill exists
among the attorneys who have busIness
before the court auditor. In their inyes-
legations. the Board OF Trade commit
tee had listened 70 the arguments df
W. w. Spalding. acting for the commit
tee Of the House Of Representatives
which Is championing the measure
The report declares: I'VE feel that
litigants win fare better under the pres
ent system than under the proposed
salary system. II Is improper
and unjust that fees Of the ONCE taken
from litigants should constitute a revenue
for the District" and that It IL equally
repugnant to our ideas Of justice that
the general taxpayer should be called
upon to pay the expenses Of private dis
putes which should be borne as far IS
practicable by the litigants themselves"
It adds that a fixed salary would en-
hance the burden imposed upon the
litigant and also would decrease the
efficiency Of the auditors office.
Other objections are given in that the
hours of the auditor and his assistants
as stipulated by the bill would be an
noying to members OF the bar and that
the auditor would be hampered' in his
work in many ways by the enactment Of
such q proposed law.
The report will be read by Arthur A.
Birney, chairman.
Reports of the officers will be followed
by the election Of the new board Of d.
rectors. n

belongs to the orient, but racially and
certainly In quality they are as different

point that the true difference In mankind

No be that the coolies who originally be-

ignorantly applied to race. II would he
like judging Italian culture by its organ
