The public School Fair And Better Baby Contest. To say the School Fair and the Bel er Baby Contest in Manning last Fr ay was a glorious success would bu !eebly express it-it would not emphg ;ize sufficiently the two splendid achiev nents,nor can it really tell the full stor >f what was accomplished for the IL ure welfare of Clarendon county. I ,as a wonderfully worked out scheme equiring tact as well as magnificen xecutive ability; the promoter wrought well, and brought about a >casion that will go down into th iistory of Clarendon as one of the mos njoyable an, profitable events eve efore attempted. The weather was ideal to giie thi eople from all over the county ai opportunity to see what has been ac :omplished by the schools, and wha an be accomplished when the commu tity spirit is properly aroused and in elligentlv directed. At an early honi he school children, with their teach rs, parents and friends from all see ions, beganigathering until the tow! ssumed a holiday appearance-an ac ivity such as it has not had in years ever before. It was a huge under Aking, but the splendid success at, ined, repaid those who labored un easingly,they secured the co-operatiot I the teachers and the trustees tbrougi ut the county. Superintendent E. J. ;rbwne, assisted by Mr. C. A. McFad in, a member of the county board ol ducation, with Miss Katherine Rich rdson, who had charge of the Bettez laby Contest also, deserves the con ratulations, and hearty commenda ions of an appreciative public. It is estimated there were 3,500 vlsi Drs, and about 1,000 pupils in line rhen the parade was formed. Several hools did-not get in the procession or ccount of Inconvenient railroad sched. les, and other unavoidable causes ut a number not represented in the arade had splendid exhibits at the %ir. The parade formed at the graded chool building, headed by Schuma her's brass band, and the Homf Iranch school, with Its beautiful greet anner; it marched to the court hous quare, halted, and at a given signa are a yell, then each school gave it, wn yell, and then proceeded to Clark' arehouse where the several school Lad beautifully decorated boot.hs and xhibits of the handiwork of the pupils Rev. Walter E. Wilkins opened tht xercises with a fervent prayer, it rhich he returned thanks for the good eing accomplished by the teachers nd earnestly prayed for the elevating rork to continue. County Superintendent Browne, ir tting terms welcomed the visitors nd expressed his gratification for the andsome outpouring of the people tU ive their moral support to those lab ring for the uplift'and progress of thi ounty. He then introduced Aldermar . Oliver O'Bryan who in behalf of the )wn of Manning extended a warm wel ome to the visitors, and his congratu Itions to the teachers and the chil ren for the great demonstration, auc ronderful achievment In making this heir irst effort, so grand a success. State Inspector of High Schools Hon V. H. Hand was the next speaker t< dress the large assemblage. He wS eceived with prolonged hand clapping Ir. Hand is a delightful speaker, ani iways at home wish anything that has a do with educationall work; it is tc is labors that much of the advance o: he public school system is due, and such of the legislation we have, hE ad apart informing. Owing to thi many matters to be done, and the short me in which it was to be done, Mr land's remarks were necessarily limit d. In part he said: Pupils, Ladies and Gentlemen o llarendon County:-I congratulate yoi n this splendid assemblage here to Lay. I congratulate you on the con eption and the execution of the un ertaking. This occasion and these ixhibits reflect the ideals of your peo >e. Any people with wholesome Ideali id sufficient energy and determina ,on to execute them will inevitabl: ucceed in the best sense of that term lhe bringing together of your varion hools and their respective patronage egets a generous rivalry and a com non sympathy among the entire popu ation of your county. It is a fine thing bring together the pupils and patron! pf Paville, Pinewood, Summerton ani ilson, for they are to be one In thb itizenship of your county. It is great thing to bring together thesi sys and girls here to study the achiev nents of one another-to study the ,chievmens of brain and muscle. It is all a great lesson in inspiratiot ,hat dynamic force in human society would encourage you to link you: chools to every constructive interes your communities, but in doing si rou should never lose sight of the hool's primary function-the buildini f character, the development of gen line manhood. Never before in th< istory of schools have they been mori orely beset by all manner of reform ed urging the schools to take up hi articular reform. Our people mus iot become confused about what thi chool's primary function is. The very best product of any schoc an never be measured in materia erms or placed on exhibition. Thb chool's best work is felt and realize< n the lives of the men and womeni ias helped to make. At the conclusion of Mr. Hand' ipeech Mr. C. A. McF'addin made umber of announcements, and durini ;he intervals bet ween the speeches thi ,and furnished delightful music, and n fact, they enlivened the day wit: ;heir splendid concerts. Many of the exhibits in the severs mooths were a surprise, some of thi iecimens were little short of marve o, and the arrangement of the esx iibits most attractive. A large num ser of the exhibits would take credita ble place in any State fair. Eaci booth was decorated in the colors C he schools, and where there wer ihools with a number of grades eac1 grade had its colors, and the teacher i~ttended their respective booths t give information.
