A trophy cup will be given to the school winning the meet and other cups to the schools winning the relay races. All communications and entries should be sent to H. L. McWilliams, State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri. INSTRUCTIONS Participation in these contests should be regarded as a reward to the student for faithful work throughout the year. A principal who takes this attitude can keep the work done in any department up to a high standard. If he does not take this attitude, he not only lessens the standards of his own school, but sends students to Kirksville who are not bona fide contestants in that they do not represent the best workers the school can produce. “Dead timber” sent from any school cheapens the morale of that school. The State Teachers College will furnish official entry blanks for the contests. These blanks should be filled out and forwarded to H. L. McWilliams, Secretary and Manager of the contests, before April 16. Each contestant will pay the required entrance fees. The fees must accompany all entries and are necessary to complete the official registry of each contestant. The Teachers College will provide free tickets for the entire program, free meals and free lodging to all competing contestants provided all such contestants comply fully with the terms of entrance; provided further, that all meals are taken at the College Cafeteria and that lodging is at the place designated on an assignment blank which will be forwarded in advance to the superintendent or principal in each competing school. The official assignment of tickets, meals and lodging will be made by Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. Teachers by paying a registry fee of $2.00 will be provided with tickets, meals and lodging. Names and fees of teachers must accompany the entry blank. (Accompanist for chorus is regarded as a teacher.) While in Kirksville, teachers and contestants desiring information should apply to Mrs. Jo Walker Humphrey in the Girls Rest Room. All persons who disregard the instructions and assignments of the Reception Committee and provide in their own way for entertainment will also pay for same. Under no circumstances will the school pay for meals and lodging if there is any deviation from the plan outlined. Entertainment will begin with the evening meal, April 26, and will not continue beyond lodging April 28. Free entertainment is for contestants and registered teachers only, and does not apply to relatives of teachers, resident or non-resident visitors.
