quality of the exhibit was about the
same as formerly, or possibly, some
what better Il appears that many OF

i ial early enough in the year. Between
October and May, is the proper time
to prepare material for exhibit at the
fair. We suggest that the schools pre-
pare an exhibition of the work done by
the pupils and have the work Inspected
| by the home community. This exhibit

of the school year. 1t may occur the
weeks before the last day, if it appeals
to those who have the management OF
| il. to be more advantageous. Judges
should be chosen to award first ana
second places to the exhibits OF the
children. Those exhibits which are To-
cally awarded first place, may very
