K lit or News Record: I nolloe in tho News Kecord Hint the principal of our county high school wishes to organize a county oratorical contest for this coun ty. The account gives In brief the plan which lie wishes to follow. So I thought, perhaps It would be of Inter est to Wallowa county to know how we conducted our Declamatory Con- IcM in Dade county, Mo. At our August institute the teachers organize by electing a president, vice president and secretary to serve one year. These officers appoint such committees as they think advisable or the arrangements of the contest which is held on(hc22nd of Febru ary of each year. The county Is divided into as many declamatory districts as there are municipal townships In the county. The teachers of these townships meet separately and organize by electing a president and a secretary. It. is tbo duty of these officers to see that every school in tbeir respective townships is represented at a - township contest which is held for the purpose of select ing a representative for . tbe county contest, which is held at any place the contest comtnittoe may select These contestants ny et and speak for a med al. The boy making the;beHt bhowing receives one. .... "'. The city schools are barred from the foreaoina contest. ,. But now these champions meets a representative from each of the city schools in final contest; and speak for. tho Champion uoia Medal which . a presented to our county by the president of Washington University. Tbe one who receives this medal is ouly allowed to wear it one year. Tbe expenses of these contests are defrayed by charging a small en trance fee for the contest. Khnuld hnv one wish to know more about this contest I will Bend for the constitution and by-laws, upon their request. Alfred II. Holmes, Flora.
