Vacation is drawing to a close, and
as the time for the fall session of
school begins to draw near interest
centers around the county school fair
to be held in November in Dawson.
Every school in the county is ex-
pected to be represented, matters not
how small the school, for each indi-
vidual exhibitor will stand an equal
chance.
There will be nothing placed on
exhibit that is not the work of Ter
rell county pupil during the year
1912, but the scope of the work
will be very wide. Any class of
brain or handiwork of these pupils
may be entered in his own PARTICULAR
school exhibit. Even though there
may be no individual premium offer
ed for everything entered each thing
will add to the school exhibit. Each
school will have a separate nook to
itself, and everything from an agri-
cultural product to the most delicate
piece of fancy work belonging to a
pupil in that school will be placed
there.
The premium for the best general
school exhibits will be divided into
three classes
LIST. Best general exhibit from the
schools counted as high schools.
End. Best general exhibit from
the school whose attendance requires
two teachers.
3rd. Best general exhibit from
the one-teacher schools.
