COUNTY EDUCATIONAL
EXHIBIT CULBERTSON

The second educational exhibit of
Roosevelt county will be held this
year in Culbertson on the 9th and
7th of May. Those who attended the
exhibit last year were surprised and
encouraged by the fine showing made
by the schools of this county. The
work showed that pupils were receiv-
ing competent instruction along the
lines of handwork, agriculture, sew
ing and manual training as we'll as in
the ordinary studies of the regular
school course. The Inspector Rein
oehl and Asst. State Club Leader
Ogilvie stated that the exhibit was
easily among the best they had seen
and that Roosevelt county was tax
ing a prominent place in the educa-
tional affairs of the state. The ex-
hibit last year was organized so late
that many of the rural schools did
not enter but plans are being made
now to accommodate twice the num-
Der of exhibitors of last year and
everything points to a successful dis
play of school work. The silver cups
presented by the Commercial club of
Culbertson will be awarded again for
n year to the winners in the four
different classes: rural, primary,
grammar and high school. In addi-
ton to the educational exhibit, Mrs.
Sara Morse, secretary of the state
anti-tuberculosis assn. has offered a
silver cup to the school making the
greatest progress in health education.
