THE LETTER BOX 



Every day some boy or girl in your school makes a discovery on the 

 farm or along the wayside that w^e should like to hear about. We should 

 also like to know of all new plans that you may be making. For this 

 reason we want you to make a letter box for the schoolroom, and put 

 into it letters for Mr. Tuttle whenever you have learned something new 

 or when }-ou have started an experiment of any kind. When the box is 

 filled, jjcrhaps your teacher will mail the contents to us. Remember 

 that every communication will be read, even if each letter is not answered 

 personal!}'. Always be sure to give your district number and township. 



What will you write about? Anything that is interesting to you will 

 be of interest to us. Perhaps some of the subjects will be as follows; 



1 . What did you do out of doors last summer ? 



2. Did your school prepare an exhibit for the county fair? 



3. How arc you going to spend the money that you won in loremiums? 



4. Have you taken any field trips this fall? If so, describe one of them.
