S.T. WINTER SHOW

SCHOOL SECTION. The school section of the South Taranaki Winter Show has always been given the most prominence by the management, on account of the value that is attached to it from the young people’s point of view„ The schedule which is comprised of 94 classes, offers wonderful scope and interest to both primary and secondary schools. There are many sections, all of which are most important in their own particular sphere, but probably in a farming community such as ours, the farm and garden and forestry sections take place of prominence. The work of the boys and girls’ clubs is encouraged in every way. This year, the South Taranaki district is divided into four groups. There are good cash prizes in each class, together with a championship prize in both the mangold and carrot sections. School forestry has always a prominent place in the show, as it was originaly started here. This year there are 12 classes, and both the schools and the individual scholars are offered wonderful opportunities in displaying samples of their year’s work. Messrs ‘G. Syme and Go., Hawera, offer a challenge shield in this section. Other classes include writing, map-making, drawing, lettering, modelling and sewing. 'With such a full and comprehensive schedule as this, there is no doubt there will be excellent entries in the school section. Schedules have been circulated freely amongst all the schools of New Zealand and if any school teacher desires a copy, such may be obtained upon application to the manager, P.O. Box 79, Hawera. Entries close in this section on Tuesday, June 7.
