Charlotte, N.C., April 25—State Superintendent of Education A.T. Allen has just issued a statement strongly endorsing the contest in dress designing and dress making being put on by the Carolinas Exposition Company.
Prizes totalling over $1,000 in cash with additional prizes of several thousand dollars value are being offered to women and girls of the two Carolinas for the best designed dress.
Concerning this contest, Mr. Allen has just issued the following statement to the schools of the state:
Raleigh, N.C., April 24, 1925
The movement on the part of the Made in North Carolina Exposition to revive the art of dressmaking and designing in the Carolinas should meet with a hearty response from the people of the two states. It is in direct line with what the department of education of North Carolina is doing through its Division of Home Economics.
The handsome prizes offered by the Exposition will have the effects of stimulating interest among women and girls of the Carolinas, and the results should be of tremendous economic as well as educational value.
The Department of Education of this State will cooperate in every way possible and through its division of Vocational Education will encourage the women and girls of North Carolina to enter the contest.
The Exposition is to be commended upon its enterprise in this matter.
--A.T. Allen, Superintendent, Public Education, North Carolina
