n1gn SCHOOL Scu0IarSuipS Oh $I0O'
Last year the Alumni Association OF
Paris High School raised SlC0 for sohol'
arships; $50 was presented to the boy,
and $50 to the girl receiving the highest
rank for the four high school years.
The association hopes to continue these
scholarships every year, but II bss been
decided to award them not BY rank
alone, but by combining the rank With
system of points on outside activities.
The object Of those scholarships 10 to
stimulate an interest In school activities,
and to develop the all-round student.
Furthermore, Il will enable the Alumni
Association to obtain better idea OF tho
activities of tho school, and TO determine
what activities are arousing the most In
terest, and which ones need more sup.
port.
The principal of the school has organ.
lied student assembly, and oil finances
Of the school and class activities will be
under one treasurer. In connection With
the student assembly will be the student
council, composed of one member from
each class, two members of the Alumni
Association, and the principal, with the
unoAu0E VI bu0 oCuiOI Cbooo bovtbB ooo
vote for the student body a. represented
through the other three class members.
This plan will bring the association In
direct contact with the students, and
with all the interests of the school.
Below is q schedule giving the system
Of points for outside activities. The to-
tai Of each Students rank, and the total
score of his outside activities for one
year added together and divided by two
gives scholarship rank for one year. The
possessor of the highest average SCHOLAR
ship rank for the four years wins the
scholarship. The present senior class
will necessarily be ranked only for ono
years work, the present junior class for
Two years. work, the present sophomore
class for three years' work, while the
freshman class, and all following classes
will be ranked for four years. work.

The Sweet Corn Situation.

The growing and canning season for
sweet corn is over for the season of 1921,
and producers are now giving serious
consideration to future production. The
pack in many localities has been very
small and the demand for all corn canned
this season will more than exceed the
supply. This will make necessary q
normal pack for 1922. Many of the
growers who did not produce the past
season have discovered that although
the production of sweet corn has appear
ed to be highly profitable In the past,
with the average production and price
received the net profit has been much
smaller than they anticipated; they have
eliminated all the customary anxiety
and worry during the growing season,
the expense Of operating their farms has
been materially reduced, there are no
fertilizer bills to be settled this fall, and
on the whole, interest in the production
of sweet corn has greatly decreased.
The most important thing being con-
sidered by the growers at this season Of
the year is the cost of production for
1922, and at the present time there is
not much to indicate any material re-
duction In the cost. As there will not
be surplus of corn carried over 1t is
reasonable to expect that there will be Q
good demand for Maine packed corn for
1922. The packers have put on q vigor.
GUS campaign In securing acreage at an
unusually early season with the usual
oamoufage Of reporting sufficient acre.
ago 90 being secured In different locali.
ties. There Is no doubt that the Maine
Sweet Corn Growers Association In
making the stand they did last spring
caused the packers to pay at least one
half cent more per pound for sweet corn
than they otherwise would have done,
by their association In the future az they
have In the past, It will be possible to
make the sweet corn industry profitable
to the producers 40 well as to the pack
ers.
| The executive committee of the state
association are expecting that every
member and grower will give their hear
ty and loyal support and will refuse to
sign up for acreage under any condition
until after the annual meetings have
been held and all the data possible
secured as to the cost of production and
the marketing conditions affecting nexi
seasons crop. Considerable data have
already been secured which indicate
that the profits to the packer this yeal
will be highly satisfactory to them where
Q normal acreage was secured.
The annual meetings Of the varioul
locals will begin after October 10Th
Speakers are to be provided a. far 81
possible, aud the general subject of th'
production Of sweet corn will be care
fully anslyzed.-C. b. Crawford.
