COUNTY SCHOLARS
EMULATE IN SPELLING
County Spelling Contest Was A
Great Success at County

dir
The "Kandiyohi County spelling con-
test which took place last Friday af-
ternoon in the Auditorium on the fair
grounds, proved to be great success
in every respect, of which not the
least was the educational value. Each
district was entitled to one represent
ative which was chosen at local con-
tests before the close Of school last
spring.
In order to accommodate the large
number of contestants, platform
was erected, extending the stage the
entire width of the Auditorium, in
front OF which were hundreds Of
friends and relatives of the contest
ants, standing room being at prem
ium. Supt. o. O. Ulvin pronounced
the words and the spoilers responded
in loud and distinct manner, which
could have been heard plainly by the
large audience had it not been for the
noise of the merry-g0-round on the
outside.
At half past one o'clock the SPELL
ing began, and it took just one hour
and fifteen minutes before the last
one went down. Esther Arneson of
district 81 won the first prize, and
proved to be the champion speller,
which is certainly great honor
John Eddy of district 65 was a close
second and won the second prize. &C.
ella Erickson Of district 7S won thiro
prize, and Olivia Knutson of district
95 won the fourth prize.
Great credit is due all the contest
ants who took part in the spelling con-
test, each being the champion speller
in the school he or she represented.
The county superintendent of schools
states that the county contests will
be an annual event hereafter, because
Of the educational value, which has
already been demonstrated by the
great improvement in spelling in our
schools during the past year.
