THE STATE FA lil. 4* "fr 'fr 'fr 'fr 'fr ?fr 'fr -fr 'fr -fr 'fr 'fr 'fr '] The most significant and instruct ive feature of the South Carolina State Fair of 1914 was the educa tional exhibit, the first in tho history of the fair. The In ita ti ve for this exhibit came from the South Caro lina School improvement Associa tion, ot' which Miss Mary E/a Hite is the efficient president, ana it was held under the auspices of the asso ciation. The association contributed to the display a model school house, equipped with single desks, blackboard, maps, globes, history and reading charts, teacher's desk and chair, a convection heater, a sanitary water fount, chalk and noiseless eras ers, a cloak room and a reading room-in the latter, two neat cases of library books and a reading table. This model and the five booths where the work of the schools of Dorchester, Laurens. Kershaw, Coo nee and Newberry counties was dis played, and where the conditions un der which this work was done and the ends toward which these counties are striving was explained by the County Supervisors of Fducatlon In charge of the exhibits, were literally charged with lessons for the throngs of visitors. They interpreted to the eye and to the mind the sources, aims and strength of the educational forward movement that is now in full swing from the ocean to the moun tains. Oconee's Exltibit* in the Oconce both the Oconee County School Supervisor, Miss An nie McMahan, had an attractive and creditable display of school work that told its own story of progress in buildings, methods, interest and edu cational and community results. The Oconee exhibit was unique among the school exhibits at the fair, and all the more creditable in that it came entirely from the rural schools of the county. lt contained excellent specimens of map drawing, color work in connection with reading, language and history, cut paper work, basketry and simple wood work. Some fine Dutch scenes in water colors from one of the schools were splendidly done.

C. photographs of old buildings and of new buildings which have replaced them told of a movement for better buildings in tho jouuty. Booklets, made, illustrated and written up by pupila, dealing v, ith various subjects of the school course, told of correla tion in Oconea also. A,n especially fine feature Ci the exhibit was a piece ?of Indian weaving, most attractive in color and design. But most striking of all were the displays of thc extension sewing and cooking classes, the work of the Honiekeepers* Clubs organized in connection with the schools. Most of this sewing had been done during the summer vacation by organiza tions of school girls, who met at ca rious times to exchange ideas, always bringing their sewing with them and emphasizing tlie useful phases of the j art. The cooking, on the other band, represented the work of the winter cooking clubs, also a give-and take affair, with emphasis on the close following of recipes and the keeping of exact records of proced ure. The cooking exhibit Included candies, cakes, biscuits, and a fine turkey "done" to the right brown. From this and other cooking exhibits i visitors to the fair were constantly ' offering to buy something, a sponta neous testimony to the appetizing ap pearance of the viands on display. Finally, the exhibit contained some good pieces of work sent In by pupils whose teachers bad done noth ing to secure them. These pupils bad seen county exhibits and had been stimulated to contribute some piece of school work to the display at the fair. This, in connection with the displays from the Honiekeepers* Club, may suggest as the lesson of the Oconee exhibit how far and to what useful endB the influence of the ! school may affect individuals and communities in rural districts. Home keepers' work is possible for every rural school. Four Lessons Taught. Four predominant lessons stand out above all the lessons these beau tiful exhibits bad to teach the South Carolina public. The first is that, though the power that moves the lever which raises the school com munity from each lower to each higher plane is the exj>ert county su pervision of teachers and schools, the fulcrum is the native boy and girl enthusiasm for doing things, and the lever itself is the aroused inter est of the children in the work of the schools-interest awakened by thc broad and intelligent appeal of these experts, either through the capable teacher, or failing the teacher, di rectly to this native enthusiasm. Ir each booth the trained superviso] j had the same sto:y to tell of the be I ginnlngs of school improvement: j "Arouse the children thoroughly, nnc I the community is bound to awaken.' And each exhibit spoke eloquently o bow and to what extent children hav< been aroused, and of how, througl these communities, have been lifte< and may be Tiffed to a Just a tip rocla tion of tho ! lessing q -, 11 mod? sehe ' o a Tho second-predominant lesson i that the sure waj to .1 salten . > bo; and girl interest I m 1 11 nect what is done oy the pupils in sitie the school with what is done b; old and young outside the school The demonstration of educations progress made by all the exhibits wa the fruit of skillful correlation o manual work, drawing, cooking, sew ing, and the study of life with th old educational "three H's.'' The third lesson is that the scboc does not have to wait for equipmen to make a .start along the various ir dust rial lines, if only it supplies th right stimulus. The fourth is that there is a vas store of talent in neglected boys an girls only waiting to be developer and that their only hope lies in catel ing the spirit of the school. Finally, these four lessons are bi parts of the one great lesson.

Colds are caught In many ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts ; crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated.

"She can do much af> a member In instructing her daughter In social hygiene and in controlling the dress of her daugh ter.
