Field day in county schools has be come the biggest county event of the year. On account of being engaged in war many counties have decided to turn the occasion into patriotic as- sembies, which can be held in centres adjacent to the nearest high schools. The expense incurred in preparing for field day, would if converted into War Saying Stamps make a patriotic ser vice, and serve the pupils as a wise lesson in thrift. The Suspension of field day was recommended by the County Teacher’s Association on .ac count of the general conditions im posed on the county by the war. Important Notice.

Patterson, to fill vacancies from time to time for the scholarships al lowed by our government, to each con gressional district by competitive ex aminations.
