PREMIUMS PROMPTLY PAID President Sister aad Seeretd:y Graffam Have Signed and Mailed Checks to All Winners of Prizes—About 600 Entries Were Made. Ee Secretary Graffam was busy the first days of this week with the books of the judges who awarded premiums at | the county fair on Friday of last | week. The task isnosmallone. A great deal more work is necessary in looking after ‘the details of the busi- ness involved in acouoty fair than the average citizen ‘has any idea of. All prizes have been paid in cash, the checks having been sent out by Thurs- day. If any errors have occurred the officers will do, anything within their power to correct them. The differ- ent classes in the divisions sometimes get mixed up by the judges, who may not be as familiar with the rules and regulations as they shonld be. Under existing circumstances errors are sometimes unavoidable: We have heard no complaints so far this ‘year. Secretary Graffam and President Sisler have been conscientious in.the discharge of, their duties, their aim being to treat the public in an‘im- partial manner. It is generatly conceded that fair } grounds and buildings must be pro- vided without further delay. 1f the county is to continue holding annual fairs.; The matter is receiving more attention than ever before, and the concensus of opinion is that the primi- tive methods heretofore employed can no longer successfully prevail. The Itasca County Agricultural asso- ciation should hold and, early meet— ing. when ways and means shouid be ; discussed and devised for procuring and preparing grounds, track and buildings.

SAVINGS BANK : FOR SCHOOLS ~The public school system of a com- munity should always stand for all social, economic aad educational movements that have for their pur- pose the improvement of mankind, and especially the development of higher and mure practical: men and women by reaching the boysand girlse While the cultural side of training is of the greatest importance, the pub- lic school would not be fulfilling its purpose if it omitted the training in the practical affairs of life. In ful- hand made hair -| to $200 to their credit, whi filling the cultural purpose the schools of Grand Rapids introduced music and drawing last year,.and in meeting the demands. for practical training a complete commercial dee partment was installed this year’ It is not the policy of the board of edue eation to Nntroduce fads lito: the schools, but it is their policy: td use all methods of work apd''‘the depart- ments of work that have proven suc cessful elsewhere or that bid fair to meet a local need right here. To that end on Monday morning, October 9, the School Savings banks will be ore ganized and will be opened to receive deposits from every pupil in the school, and in any amounts from one centup. Each Monday morning the roll will be called and each child can deposit his savings for the. week. Each teacher receives the deposit from the pupils of her room, turning the deposit over to the superintendent who places it in the State bank where each child receives credit for the ‘amount he deposits. As soon as the individual deposit amounts to 31.00 it begins to draw interest.. Pupils can draw out their money whenever they désire to do so, but with the parents’ permission and signature. It. is not possible to make the.institution. a success without the cu-operation of the parents. It is to be understood at the start. that the institution is not established to become a drain on the parents) income, nor to teach the child to be penurious. It is estab- lished to teach him to economize the allowance given him by his parents and to save a part of what he earns, Parents are kept informed as to the condition of the child’s bank account, as each pupil is allowed to take his bank book home once a month or any time the parents desire to see it. Thus it can be seen that with a little effort on the part of the parents a valuable institution can be had in the school system and made a success. Perhaps it-.is. not generally known how successful the school savings banks haye been elsewhere. The movement is not a new one. forschool savings banks are’in use in ali the public schools of France and Belgium: and in part of the schools pf most of the countries of Europe.. They are in use in many of the public schools in . most of the states of the United States. The scholars of thescliools of this country have to their credit ~* today over $600,000.. It is pot an- uh- usual thing for pupils to-have atthe - time of their graduation. from .the, eighth grade or high school. from $150. the habit of economy ‘and business kuowledge securéd is above price. The‘ School ° Savings bank is how to bea part of the schoul system of Grand: Rapids, and it is earnestly desired that. tha patrons will take the same interest in it that has-been manifested in the past in ali the enterprises of the school. . It is ours to make this move- ment a success, and it can be done by the combined interest of schvol pat. and the spool authorities, i | | soourerecmnenceitnenngnensanehnese vathtenbe
