Fig. 4. The Fish and Game Commission exhibit at the State Fair, September, 1916. subjects: "What I observed in one week," "Bird nests," "Mountain birds," "Our most useful songsters," "Sea birds," and any subject requiring keen observation. The papers were graded on quality and the length of each was left to the discre- tion of the teachers. The exposition company offered 100 free admissions for the best 100 papers, and 15 medals for the best 15 papers. Papers were graded by November 14 and the best compositions chosen from every grade and one from every class in the high school. The best products of the art department, showing birds, were ex- hibited at the exposition, and remained through Bird House Day celebration, held December 15. The commercial depart- ments exhibited designs, the sewing classes exhibited bird embroideries and the music classes sang bird songs. In our opinion, studies of this kind are of far more value than many of the pre- scribed courses of stud,v. A child that is "taught to read a roadside as well as to read a book" is worth more to himself and more to the community in which he lives.
