the country. 1t will last fifteen weeks.
All pupils in the schools will partici-
pate in the tournament.
There are seventy-two chores each
week for the child to complete. II
fifty four OF these seventy w are
completed the child received a credit
for the weeks work. After two cred
its have been received the pupil be-
comes a page. After five credits have
been received the child becomes a
Equire. After ten credits he becomes
a Knight. After fifteen credits he be-
comes a Knight Banneret. The
Knight Banneret is the highest rank
he can receive. The contest lasts only
fifteen weeks and consequently only
fifteen credits can be received and 1t
takes all fifteen credits to become a
Knight Banneret. A certificate is is
sued to the contestants when he be-
comes a Page. Badges OF different
designs are issued for the other ranks.
The average record OF every pupil in
each room will be sent to the State
Organization. The highest average
record for the state receives a fine
banner. The highest average RECORD
