Raleigh, April 29.—Essays, posters
for the State prizes in the live-at-
and booklets submitted in cximpetition
home contests, which were inaugu-
r,-itecl in the schoo-Is this year, are
nCA- being received at the office of
the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, it is learned today. Al
though the 'county and city school
systems hav© until May 15 to file
their entries in the various State
wide contests, many have already
completed their local elimination con
tests and are filing their winning
essays, posters, and booklets with
the Slate office.
According to Supt. A. T. Allen the
posters which have been filed are
very interesting, and show that the
school children have done a fine piece
of work. In Supt. Allen's opinion
the committee which will decide tnis
contest -will have a very difficult
task in selecting the prize winning
posters for the State. “I see right
now,” he added, “that we will have
to find space to exhibit this work,
in order that those who wish ‘may
get an idea of what the school, child-
ten of the State have dene in this
live-at-home program.”
Creditable posters have been re
ceived for Iredell, Cabarrus and Le
noir counties, and the Statesville citv
system. There are still others which
have not been opened bv the State
officials.
“These essays and posters do not
represent all the .work that the school
children are doing,” continued Supt.
Allen. “I have an irivitation here
to attend a dinner, the food for which
■will le secured from garden and
poultry projects carried on by th?
students themselves. The^ students
are very proud of their success in
these projects, and if possible I am
going to (accent their invitation to
help them enjov this dinner.
‘To my mind, this kind of an
acti-vitv is reallv worthwhile, and
will inculcate habits in the cUldren
which will be valuaMe to them when
they grow, up into nuuvhood arid
