TO HOLD A
SCHOOL FAIR.
Iazewell Teachers Discuss Methods of Hold
ing a School Fair Next Fall 10 Gunnec-
ton With County Fai[.

The Tazewell Teachers Association
met at Richlands for a two-days session
on last Friday morning. Devotional
services were led by Rev. F. M. Buhr-
man, pastor of the Richlands Methodist
church. After roll call the remainder
of the morning session was taken up in
listening to the reports Of Misses Lou
Coulling, Brenda Wright and Lottie M.
Evans, the delegates from this county
to the meeting of the State Teachers
Association held in Richmond last
month.
In the afternoon on Friday, after dis
posing OF the miscellaneous business,
the questions of attendance, securing
and maintaining school libraries were
discussed by the entire association. Aft
er this the association resolved itself
into three sections, to consider from the
standpoint of the high, grammar and
primary schools, the questions of man
usl training, language work, pupils that
fail, and the inadequate preparation of
grammar grade pupils for the high
school.
AT the Saturday morning session the
entire association considered the ques-
ton of school fair in connection with
the county schools. The value, method
and what it should be to the county.
were fully discussed; and some of the
teachers who have had experience with
the holding of school fairs gave the as
sociation some valuable pointers as to
how fair should be conducted aud its
value to the community. 1t was de-
cided to arrange for the co operation of
the County Fair Association in the
work, and If the dates could be so ar
ranged, to hold the two events at the
same time this fall, as this would be
the best means of letting the people
throughout the county know and under
stand the work which the schools are
doing, more especially toward improv-
ing the agricultural conditions of our
county. The following committees were
appointed to arrange for the fair:
To meet with the executive commit
tee Of the County Fair AssociatIon-W.
Archie Thompson, J. B. Crabtree and
Henry S. Bowen.
To arrange the progrsm-Misses L.
M. Evans, Alleyn Conn, Lottie McPher-
son and Prof. w. w. Carson.
The attendance at this meeting of the
association was large, considering the
nearness of the holidays; and discussion
OF the various topics were conducted
with vim and vigor that presages we'll
for the future of Tazewell's schools.
The movement to hold a fair in con-
nection with the county fair is a good
one, and should meet the approval and
encouragement of this entire communi-
ty; and, it will, without question, have
the hearty co operation of those con-
nected with the County Fair Associa-
tion. In fact, some effort to interest
the children has already been made by
the Fair Association, and they also have
had in view the extending of their eff
forts so as to attract the attention and
enlist the aid of the school children at
the coming fair; so, now, with the
school hoard and Fair Association work
ing together in harmony for the same
end, creditable exhibition of the work
of the children should be seen at the
fair next fall.

ADVANTAGE OF A SMALL
TOWN TO A GIRL

"The Girl in the Small Town" is
the title of an article in the Novem-
Der Woman's Home Companion, an
extract from which follows:
"There is in many small towns
in the average small town, would
say-a limited outlook, narrow way
of seeing life, a lack of breadth, a
lack Of energy. There are few SOC
ial advantages, we think; for teas
and luncheons and receptions and
balls which flourish in large towns
and cities are very much the excep-
tion. One might go on a good deal
further in naming the limitations and
disadvantages of life in small town,
and yet from wider experience and
fuller knowledge can now say to
you nevertheless that it is strongly
my opinion and my conviction that
the small-town girl has, as rule, far
more opportunities and far more
chances for success in life than the
girl brought up in the city.
"Just what are these chances? Most
Of them may in general way be in
cluded in those two main opportuni-
ties which are to be found in most
small towns; namely, greater leisure
for improvement and culture, and
greater freedom to develop along
original lines.
