School Fair Should Be
Encouraged.
It was at first hoped to’give four prizes of$l,
75c, 50c and 25c respectively for all contests
at the school fair, but on surrtming up the
number of prizes earned by the various schools,
it is found thattlie$75 allowed by the carni-'
val committee, which was plenty for the two
previous school fairs, will not coverthe 54 first
prizes and 38 second prizes. While it is en
couraging to note the surprising increase in
the variety of exhibits and the unusual num
ber of entries in each contest, it is vex.’ un
fortunate that the little folks who alom nave
made this growth possible, should be deprived
of their prizes which they have earned.
By way of suggestion it might be stated
that the school committee is ready to make up
the shortage out of private funds for small
rural schools.
The Mapleton business men
—
J..
have already made up a sufficient sum fo cover
the third and fourth prizes and also the spec
ial prizes for those exhibits that the judges
deemed worthy of such. Can the otheY towns
do as much for their boys and girls.
