ELEVENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VI 329 



PUBLICITY. 



Circulars were sent to superintendents and teachers calling attention 

 to the display and asking them to participate. In my travels about the 

 state during the year there were also many opportunities for bringing 

 the work to the attention of the teachers and patrons. 



A special edition of the premium list was issued before the regular 

 premium list was printed and copies well distributed over the state. 



EXHIBITOBS. 



While the total number of exhibitors is small compared with the 

 entire number of schools, we were greatly pleased with the responses 

 that were received. 



Considering the lateness of issuing the premium list, the lack of a suit- 

 able source of funds on which the schools can draw, the smallness of 

 the premiums, the difficulty of shipping some of the most desirable school 

 work and the newness of the movement, we have a right to feel highly 

 elated over the result, and grateful to the men and women whose devo- 

 tion to the cause made so good an exhibit possible. Permit me to intro- 

 duce them: 



H. C. Moeller, Supt., Newell Grade and High School. 



Kate E. Sullivan, Supt., Bremer Co. Collective exhibit and exhibits 

 from thirty-three of her schools. 



C. E. Blodgett, Supt., Atlantic. 



Angus McDonald, Supt., Spirit Lake. 



F. T. Thompkins, Supt., Dickinson County. 



Thos. E. Johnston, Reinbeck High School. 



W. F. Cramer, Supt., Red Oak. 



A. Palmer, Supt., Marshalltown. 



J. A. Wilson, Supt, Osceola County. 



J. G. Grundy, Principal, North Des Moines High School. 



M. Ricker, Principal, West Des Moines High School. 



May Goodrell, Principal, East Des Moines High School. 



Z. C. Thornburg, Asst. Supt., Des Moines City Schools. Collective ex- 

 hibit and exhibits from thirty-two^ grade schools. 



F. E. Fuller, Supt, Sioux County. 



O. H. Benson, Supt., Wright County. Collective exhibit and exhibits 

 from twelve of his schools. 



Fred Grawe, Principal, Gait. 



B. E. Myers, Supt., Clarion. 

 R. A. Sell, Supt., Alton. 



Of course there were many teachers, principals, supervisors and pupils 

 whose labors contributed to these excellent results, but it would be im- 

 possible to obtain their names. 



As in 1909 four great classes were provided as follows: 154 Rural, 155 

 Graded, 156 High, 157 General. The principal facts as to premiums 

 offered and paid are shown in the following table so far as they can be 

 condensed into statistical form:
