SCHOOL EXHIBIT. 



To the President and Executive Committee of the Michigan State 



Agricultural Society: 



The exhibit in the school department, Division S at the fair of 

 1900 was, I belieye, the largest ever made at any fair of this Society. 



The total number of entries in this division was 234. There was 

 offered ^.300.00 and a total of $340.00 awarded. The exhibition was 

 tastefully arranged and attracted the admiration of a large crowd of 

 visitors each day of the fair. There is manifestly a growing interest 

 in the school department — it is an important and worthy of the best 

 thought and encouragement of this Society.
