Although specific preparations have not been made to that end, the question of house fly extermination will be taken up in the public schools as a part of the general instruction along sanitary and hygenic lines, as outlined in the course of study outline prepared for the use in the common schools during the coming school year. The great difficulty encountered by the health officers in teaching sanita-, tion in the schols is the parent. ’ While the pupils readily accept the teachings, they are scoffed at in the homes by parents who have little use for what they brand “newfangled notions.’" but by a continual onslaught against the buwark of ignorance the health authorities expect to win eventually.

Every department of the stock raising, poultry : raising, agriculture, horticulture, art and industry is represented in the ex- ■ hibits. The races are equal to those of the greatest circuits of the country, because the big circuit horses are entered here. The purses and stakes j are liberal and the track is the peer 'of any in America. Circus and carnival features are introduced along the pike and music is furnished daily by the best bands of this section.
