Mary N. Condor Warns About
OUf-of-Sfufe Trade Schools

Graduating seniors and their par
ents should consult their local super
intendents before signing contracts
with trade schools outside of Mon
tana," Mary NJ. Condor, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, said
recently.
despite our efforts, through bull
letins and previous news releases, to
warn Montanans, we still hear of un-
ethical, high pressure techniques be-
ing used to recruit students under
false pretenses and through rosy
promises, for trade or correspondence
schools whose programs are highly
questionable.
at must be stressed that many
trade and correspondence schools are
excellent, ethical and competent, but

Particular attention should be
given to the refund clause in any con-
tract with such school. 1t is wise to
seek competent legal advice before
signing any contract. Asking about
the matter after the contract is signed
is useless.
Montana law does not provide for
licensing or accreditation of such
commercial enterprises, located out
side the state. We feel that this situa-
tion should be corrected and we will
again propose such legislation, for

STATE FAIR IS TERMED
AGRICULTURAL SNOWFLAKE

|. The big North Carolina State
Fair has always had its roots in
the soil. 1t is showplace for the
latest agricultural developments.
These are the sentiments of G..
W. O'Neal, Hyde County farm
agent for the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service at State College.
Terming the State Fair a show
place is no exaggeration. Farmers
and city folks alike gain consider
able knowledge from their visits
to what has become known as
"North Cardinals biggest annual
event"
Based on the premise that
Competition is the Likelihood of the
American way of life, the State
Fair offers thousands of dollars
to exhibitors (more than $65,000
this year) to encourage first class
entries in all its different depart
ments. The premium offer is
based on improvements in agri-
culture-from livestock breeding
to canning; from plant breeding
to plant seeding and cultivation.
And the State Fairs real pur-
pose, according to Mr.. O'Neal is
education. The hoopla is added on
ly to attract the public's attention
and get them on the fairgrounds
so they can learn something from
the educational exhibits.
This year much of the fair
grounds will be dotted with exhib-
its concerning North Cardinals
booming dairy industry. "Dairy
on Parade" has been selected as
the overall theme of the 1856
State Fair. The principal exhibits
to carry out the dairying theme
will be found in the lower south
lobby of the giant State Fair
Arena. Other dairying exhibits
will be found elsewhere on the
Fairgrounds.
