Pupils in all schools Of the county are
busily at work preparing material for
the two contests which will be held on
county commencement day sometime
during May. The first IS the state
spelling arithmetic and writing contest
which IS being held for the fifth time.
The second IS the two-minute speech
contest similar 10 the one held last year
which created so much interest among
the pupils. The topic selected for this
year is Why We Have Home Credit
Work in Our County" The speech will
be the original work of the child cor
rected By the teacher The former con-
test is open TO pupils IN one and two
department schools only, while the latter
can be entered by any grade pupil
During the month of May, the prellm-
mary contests will be held in each dis
trict The winner will represent that
district at the county contest in May.
The one securing first place in the
spelling arithmetic and writing contest
at the county contest will represent Iron
county at the state fair in September.
These contests have proved an incentive
for added effort and more concentrated
study and therefore fully justify the ex-
ira work necessary. The enthusiasm
seems to be not for the prize as much as
for the pleasure of spending day at the
county seat and competing with children
from other parts of the county.
The facts that the home credit work is
proving a successful venture is proven
by reports which reach this office from
teachers telling of increased attendance
and decreased hardness. One report re.
ceived this week states that since her
children have been doing home credit
work she has had no case of absence
and only one case of hardness in the
entire school. The most encouraging
feature of the credit work is that the
rural children now find the family chores
means of securing credit instead of a
burden.
Work has just been completed in
summarizing the results of the standard
ization tests in arithmetic sent out by
the state department fer the rural
schools. Below we give the record for

A magazine lies on our table con-
tanning the picture of a number of au-
to-trucks from which boxes of lemons
and oranges are being dumped upon
the ground. The pile of golden fruit
appears to cover several acres to the
depth of about two feet. Millions
of the fruit are there going to waste
because, even after being gathered and
packed, the price Ito the growers)
was too low to pay the freight to mar
ket. So the fruit was thrown away
At the same time millions Of people
are unable to buy the fruit they sadly
need because the retail price is too high
and their wages are low, or they are
out of work and penniless. Thus val
liable fruit and people of priceless
worth are thrown away as waste mat
ter by a system of economics which
is utterly inadequate and hopeless.
Until the system of production fol
use only is adopted, this waste Of hui
man life and of the products of hui
man toll will continue.
