Praise Giuen Rural
Schools for State
Fair Exhibits

Favorite comment was received
from all sides by Imperial county's
school exhibit at the state fair in
Sacramento, according to Merrill
Gowdie of Bard who helped install
the county display.
Science was the theme of the
entries which illustrated both the
natural and the social science and
which were sent in by many of the
rural schools.
AS science is one of the state
projects for the year Imperial coun-
tys exhibit attracted much recog-
milton and received much praise for
it's distinct, colorful, clean and well
organized appearance.
When the exhibits were packed
from the county office, Miss Edith
Redit, supervisor, made a complete
chart illustrating where each single
entry was to be placed. Fair au-
thorities were delighted with this
method which made it easy for them
to place the exhibit and which they
recommended to other schools.
This year, as last, the county ex-
hibit was not entered for competi-
ton, Imperial county being one of
the first in the state to follow this
modern educational belief in ex-
hibiting not for> award but for the
value of the display itself. Other
counties this year followed the same
method and consequently the prac-
tice of awarding ribbons was prac-
tically discontinued. Last year rib
bons were awarded for honorable
mention but none were given this
year.

Miss Thomas Visits
Orient During
Vacation

Miss Helen Thomas, instruction
supervisor for the rural schools. has
had delightful summers trip, a
contrast to her usual summer of
teaching in which she has indulged
the past few years.
This year Miss Thomas decided
to give herself vacation and took
a long leisurely trip to the Philip
pines on a freighter, means of
travel which she found delightful
Six weeks were spent in the Phil
ippines where she visited friends,
toured the country thoroughly
standing on the very spot where
Magellan is said to have stood, visit
ing the many factories, mills, seeing
the native festivals including the
famous rice planting ceremony.
After her visit in the Philippines
Miss Thomas sailed on the En-
press of Japan for the Orient, visit
ing Hongkong, Canton, Shanghai
and other points after which she
toured Japan. Travelling alone in
parts of Japan where no English
was spoken she made her way by
boarding a train, pointing out on
a time table the place she wished
to get off at, and handing the con
ductor a handful of money from
which he extracted the fare. By
this means she had a successful
trip across the country, visiting the
main cities. Honolulu was her final
stop and she arrived in the valley
last Sunday, ready for work again.

Masons of the city and their fam

designed to welcome members back
to the city after the long absence

Ordinarily this event is schedul-

October, October 5.
Repair work is being done on the
temple which will not be completed
in time for September gathering,

return one week later, making it
advisable to postpone the affair.
In the near future members will

Sailing from Los Angeles at the
beginning of the summer, Miss
Redit took a British ship which
called first at the Hawaiian Islands
then went to Japan, China, the
Malay peninsula, Ceylon, Bombay,
through the Red Sea, the passen-
gers having the dubious thrill of
experiencing monsoon in the
Arabian Sea.
Overland Trip
From Suez, the party left the
ship and travelled overland across
the desert to Cairo. From Cairo,
by camelback, they saw the pyra-
mids and the Sphinx, the irrigated
fields of the Nile valley with their
cotton, citrus, date, corn and other
gardens.
Joining the ship at Port Said,
the party next crossed the Medit-
erranean, stopping at the Island
of Malta. Miss Redit left the ship
at Marseilles, made a short trip
to Switzerland, a brief stop in
Paris, five days in England and
Scotland and home on the Queen
Mary to New York.
The trip to the valley was made
by train via Washington, D. c.
and New Orleans.
This week vacation is over and
Miss Redit is busy at her office
in the court house or in visiting
the rural schools for which a year
of another year has just begun.
