tendance, unless special permi ssion
was granted by the superintendent.
After discussion the industrial
work Of the schools was indorsed,
and it was voted that the fund for
prizes be secured by each school
district contributing 1915.
DR.. w. F. Jones addressed the
meeting, with the Left Handed

the three commissioner districts,
and the following were elected:
