BRYAN, Of Nebraska. For Vico Prcsidont ADLAI E. STEVENSON, Ot Illinois. To tho Public School Teachers and Pupils of Oconeo County. Tho Youth's Companion, through its editor, Mr. J. L\ Upham, hus oft'orod to tho public schools of Oconeo county four beautiful engravings and a handsome national Hag as a prize to tho school which, during tho coming year, will add tho greatest number of improvements, consisting of tree planting, Mower beds, painting, or anything that p?rtalas to tho beauty or tho comfort of school grounds and buildings. This contest will bo decided on "Arbor Day" of next year. Tho Youth's Companion has an "Arbor Day" roll of . honor on which aro in scribed tho names of the teacher and pupils who carry out tho work. For sonio years the Youth's Companion has been engaged in bettering the condition of country schools in tho North. Last April tho editors of this paper formed a combination with the Seaboard Railroad and have been working in the South sinco that time. What is given to the schools lu tho territory touched by the Seaboard is now obtained for Oconeo county, lt is hoped that the teachers and pupils will take up this work which has for its motive the training of heart, brain and hand, without which no educa tion bl this day and generation it com pleto. In a talk with Mr. Upham, wbilo in .Jacksonville, Fla., last week, ho said: "Tho Improvement of the country school is one that is ever before the Youth's Companion. Nothing is moro depressing than to drive in the country disti iets and see a spot barren of all beauty ; a school building drear? and comfortless, dilapi dated by neglect. A little care on the part of teachers and pupils could easily change this. Tims we formed tho plan of o nor big theso prizes, hoping thereby to arouse the desire on the part of the school children to stand at the head in this work whose illlbtoiico is far reaching and carries with it its ow n lesson." 1 trust that the schools in our county will take up this work. All teachers in the county who fool interested on the subject and who desire further informa tion are requested to write me at an early date and I will take pleasure in giving further information. The Legislature of our State has inau gurated au "Arboi Day." Let this day, which is now near at hand, be the com mencement of this good work, which shall mark an era in the school life of Oconeo count v. 'Kel.et fully, L. M. Coi.KM AN, Seneca, S.
