F Money is necessary, he said. to the successof a fair and in some places] they found themselves sadly short of`! funds. He did not want to give larger prizes but more prizes. When 30 or 40 children are showing in one class there should be six prizes. An-I other "way in which school boards could help in the school fairs was to have the place ready in the morning` when those in charge arrive. and he` asked the school boards -to take this on themselves. _ , `Referring to the public speaking contest held in the morning, Mr. 'Cock- } burn said it was an outgrowth of the school fair and he hoped next year toy have a trophy for the winner. } Confession of Alexander.
