A letter received here the
latter part of last week, from
Mr. A. B. Beaumont, conveyed
the intelligence that he, in com
pany with others, had climbed
Mt. Hood and enjoyed the mag
nificent view to be had from its
lofty summit. He stood the climb
up the mountain quite well.
I hope you are all having a
good time during vacation, play
ing some, working some, and
reading some; and not forgetting
to prepare your exhibits for the
school fairs. Had you thought
about how soon they will be here?
Only a few short weeks now,
and the time will pass quickly.
Procrastination is said to be the
thief of time. Do not let it be
the thief of those prizes you have
no doubt had your heart set on
winning. It is so easy to waste
time and get slack in our habits,
especially during vacation. Every
one ought really to set apart cer
tain hours each day for play, for
work, and for reading. You will
be surprised how much more you
will accomplish.
If you are raising garden stuff
to exhibit, do not neglect it. The
weeds will keep growing these
hot days just the same, and if
you do not keep them hoed or
pulled up they will rob your
pumpkins or potatoes of the
moisture they need, and they will
not grow to be prize winners. If
you are raising poultry, do not
fail to feed the fowls regularly
and well and handle them care
fully so they will be gentle and
in good condition.
If you expect to exhibit sewing
and win that sewing machine,
gold watch, or some other attrac
tive prize, you have no time to
lose. If you would win in the
bread making contest, you 'can
not practice too much. Do not
be afraid of soiling your hands
with the dough. It is no dis
grace to work, and horny hands
are honorable.
Do not overlook the fact that
the railroads will carry your ex
hibits to and from the State Fair
free of charge. The children of
no other state are so generously
treated by the railroads, so far
as we know. Do not fail to read
the rules and regulations in the
State Fair Prize List which tells
you what you have to do in order
to get the free rate.
Some boy or girl who reads
this may say "I have to work
hard all the time and never have
a vacation, and do not have time
to prepare anything for the fair."
I hope very few of you are en
tirely deprived of a vacation, but
as to having to work hard, you
really ought to be thankful for
that. Hard work does not hurt
you if you do not chafe and worry
about it Our best and greatest
people have had to work hard.
Surmounting difficulties brings
out the best that is in you, and
develops strength of character.
The best exhibits at the school
fairs last year were generally
made by children . who had to
work hard. Loafers do not win
prizes at fairs nor in the battles
of life.
Perhaps you are not acquainted
with Mr. Churchill, our new State
Superintendent, but you will
have an opportunity to meet him
some day, I hope. I am sure you
will like him; he says he is very
much interested in the boys and
girls of Oregon, and especially in
seeing them learn the practical
things of life. He is anxious to
see definite results from the In
dustrial Department. It is up to
you to show such results, boys
and girls, and I am sure you will
do your part.
