grade to compete in these tests. The
arithmetic work in grades II. ILL.,. ~.
and Y will be test of the speed and
accuracy of pupils in the fundamental
principles while that in grade vi will
be a test of the reasoning ability.
The hour from II to - ha, been
given over by the committee on ar
rangement for the scholastic contests,
and room and tins schedule will be
sent each teacher in the county dur
ing the next week. so that there will
be no confusion caused by inability
to locate rooms in which the tests are
held
II will be necessary for each school
to hold preliminary contests to select
the representatives for the several
grades, and We earnestly hope that
teachers will try to stimulate their
pupils to put forth extra endeavor
from now until the date Of the Con-
tests. A prize will be given the win
ncr in each test. and the three pupils
coming nearest to the highest mark
will receive honorable mention. The
activities of our Field Meets in the
past have been largely in the way of
athletic contests between the boys of
our several High Schools, and this
year we are desirous of offering an
opportunity for every school to be
represented. and even the smallest
boy and girl to feel that. they have Il
part in this Educational Rally"
