The West Derby graded school at
West Derby and the Cole Hill school

first places in collective school eXhlb-
it's.
Miss Charlotte Pierpont of Bur-
lington judged the canning and fancy
work exhibits and Principal Cobb of
orleans
of Newport made the awards on the
various agricultural exhibits. The
quality of the exhibits was excellent,
great care being taken by nearly all
exhibitors, to have their products in
the best possible condition for exhib-
ition. Superintendent Erwin, by his
able supervision, kept everything
moving along smoothly and everyone
seemed to be having a most enjoyable
time.
This exposition was made possible
by the cooperation of several different
agencies. The various school super
intendents of the county, cooperating
with the Orleans County Agrlcultural
association assisted in advertising and
making arrangements. To Supt. En-
win Of Barton is due in no small
measure the success of the exposition
as it was through his untiring efforts
that ARRANGEMENTS were finally COM
nleted. The officers of the Orleans
County Fair association kindly offered
the use of the grounds and it was
through the generosity of w. E. Skin
ner of Orleans that such liberal prizes
could be offered in the contests in po-
tatoes and beans.
The attendance was about 500, the
larger part by far being boys and
Girls. Had the day been fair and
warmer there is no doubt but that
1000 people would have been on the
grounds.
The exhibition in itself was we'll
worth while It encourages the young
people in their efforts and gives rec
ognition to the large amount of work
which they are doing the county over.
This is but a beginning of what may
be DONE A big boys and girls ex-
position in this county should be an
annual event each fall.
RolIo c.. ReynOld, secretary of the
state board of education, and princi-
pal of the Vail school Of agriculture,
was unable to arrive in time for his
address, but surveyed the exhibit,
omplimented the management on the
success of the affair and made valua-
BILE suggestions for future guidance.
The Barton Red Cross organization
served hot coffee and sandwiches to
the crowd, clearing about SIS.
