Concerning Medal Contests.

1t is evident from the letters we
are receiving from those interested
in THE Peace Contests" that the
communication in the Union Sig
nal of April %, on this special work
was not carefully read. We gave
quite minute instructions regar ding
these contests-the new book of
recitations-the medal designed by
the national superintendent, Mrs.
Bailey, the music, souvenirs, ETC.,
also an outlined program. Look up
this issue and write me if you need
further information. The date of
these contests was to have been May
Is, Peace Day, but as the time was
limited owing to the book of recita-
tions not being ready as soon as
expected, we hope that these con-
tests will be continued until peace
is proclaimed. Now is the oppor-
tune time for the work.
Prohibition contests are being
actively pushed in nearly all the
states, especially in those that are
working for statewide prohibition.
We hope that an effort will be
made to hold high grade contests
during the summer, and early fall
months. Nearly every mail brings a
letter from aspiring contestants ask
ing if we cannot place them in a
diamond medal contest. Give these
young people an opportunity to win
the diamond medals. Half!rates in
the Columbia college of expression
of Chicago is great incentive for
advancement.
Are you working for the special
medals offered by the different ma
tional superintendents, viz: Sunday
schools, humane education, anti.
narcotics, franchise, peace and ar
bitration, red letter days and at in
stitutes. Report these differ ent de-
partment contests to the state con-
test superintendent. Every state and
territory has a superintendent of
medal contests. Send to them or
your national superintendent for
supplies. As souvenirs for matron's
contests and the new members, we
have the Scotch bow pin. (See cata
log).
We hope you will cooperate ear
nestly with your state superintend.
ent in pushing this department,
thus enabling US to make the best
report ever given at a national con-
vention.

Great Praise for Edgefield's
High School.

The following letter from Hon. ]. E.
Swearingen has been received by the
trustees of the Edgefeld High School,
and the letter is most encouraging to
those who have been faithfully engaged
in this work, and all the patrons OF the
Edgefeld High School:
Mr.. T. ]. Lyon, Edgefeld, S. c.
Dear Sir: Thanks for your report of
the Edgefeld High School. 1t is the
best showing yet made to this office for
any year of school work in any district.
The distribution of pupils throughout
the grades was uniform. This Is
gratifying evidence of the organization
of the school, the interest OF the pupils,
and the careful oversight of the super
intendent.
The average attendance was frac-
tion above 80 per cent. Since attend.
ance is one of the real tests of school,
l congratulate you most heartily upon
this feature of the report.
The patrons of the school should
never be satisfied with lese than nine
months term. TheIresults you have &C.
complished during l914-l5 prove beyonc
question that the school ought to rur
36 weeks. Other county seats anc
neighboring towns would not be salts
fed with anything below nine month:
term. Your standard in this respect
is not only right but absolutely neces
sary.
The high school attendance exceeded
my expectations. The report points tt
larger enrolment in the high schoo
grades next year.
Above all, l am gratifed at the fl
nancial showing made by the trustees
Notwithstanding all the advantages en-
joyed during the year, the school clos
ed the term free Of debts. AS long a!
this policy of progressive organization
and economic administration continues
the growth and efficiency of the schoo
will be assured.
l congratulate you most hearth.
upon the success and accomplishment
of the year, and wish you, your teach
ers, and pupils even better things du
ring 1856.
Yours respectfully,
j. E. SWEARINGEN,
State Supt. of Education.
