Teachers association of Gallatin
county and all the elementary schools
Of the county will take part. There

meet for girls and defamation con-
test and a spelling contest. There
will also be track meet and a de-
clamatiOn contest for the different
high schools of the county. From
the plans that are being made by the
Belgrade people the meet will have
its usual success.
Preliminary contests are being held
this week in the different school dis.
tricts of the county to select those
who will take part in the finals. at
the county meet. The schools have
been grouped into Il districts anc
each district may send a track team
of five boys and five girls, one con
testant for the declamatory contest
and three for the spelling. In order
to take part in the competition the
pupils must have a grade of rs o.
more. Reports of the preliminary
try-outs are being sent to Principa
