that the list may be complete when

it is not necessary to wait for April

offered for essays and booklets on
the subject: "How to Improve the
School Grounds" and What Boys
and Girls Can Do to Beautify the
Town Eight dollars worth of the
seeds are stuck away in the closet
of the superintendent office. We
fear this is evidence that there is
some lack of school and civic pride
in Decatur county. Certainly the
premiums were not taken up, be
cause there is no need of improve
ment on school grounds and the
waste places of the towns.
Some premiums not used in school
fairs will be kept over for the next
fair. Not so with flower seed. II
they are not used this season, the
few that are left over from fatten-
