Owing to the excellence of the essays written the committee found it very difficult to make the award, and a second prize was kindly offered by Mrs. J. L. Babcock for the one who stood second in the High school. In the ward schools the task was equally difficult to decide and Mrs. H. M. Slauson presented a book on U. S. history to all those who were second on the list. The prizes were presented in the High school by Mrs. Hutchins and Mrs. Babcock. and in the ward schools by Mrs. Hutchins and Mr. Slauson, who visited each school.
