teacher school, there are two or three
teachers IN the consolidated school

Child Welfare Exhibit.
One big building designated "Chfld's
Welfare Building" is literally plas-
tered with the most startling lessons
OF how to prevent disease, how to de-
velop a child, what to eat, what va
rious diseases are and how they are
to be avoided. Some OF II Is quite
depressing to hook upon, but certainly
not so depressing as the real which
may sometime be faced by che par
ent, but when once faced II will not
be so dreadful after learning II in the
picture form and along with II some
knowledge OF what It is and how II Is
to be presented and how treated. The
moving picture runs free in this
building to reinforce the lessons 0f
health showing what to DO with re-
spect to maintaining health and
treating disease.
The mosquito lesson, the nv lesson,
the dietary lessons, the sanitary les
sons in general revealed in the
Child's Welfare Building, II observed
and taken to heart, will mean hap
piness, ability to enjoy life and do
good work where otherwise distress
and loss would come.
What can be accomplished in the
Piedmont country by turning a little
water into a fiume and dropping It on
turbine is practically demonstrated
In way by which many farmers may
proht. 1t means electric-lighted
premises, electricity for the churn
the thresher, the feed cutter, the
vacuum cleaner, tho washing ma
chine the sewing machine. the pump
ing OF water to a reservoir and all
the rest Of modern conveniences of
living.
. A practical illustration Of several
OF these things IL being shown at
the exposition, whore a small water
fall has been created for the purpose.
Fifty Crops Are Shown.
OF course, the lessons of diversity
OF agriculture are taught at the ex-
position. one East Tennessee farmer
has an exhibit from his ordinary farm
Of his numerous sources of revenue.
More than fifty kinds Of crops wers
shown. The farmer was converting
his broom corn into first-Class
broOms He was preserving and Jelly
ing all kinds of fruits and vegetables
He was baling a variety Of hays He
was making honey, manufaCtu
vinegar, curing meat. manufacturing
lard, sausage and other by-products
Of a pork industry. He was selling
off sour wood. He was making AK
handles from hickory. And this farm
er, mechanic, aparian. meat packer
and what-not is rs years old and the
biggest booster In the county.
A thousand exhibits Of the posi-
bilities of agriculture in the South
are revealed in splendor II all shows
very plainly that this Is a country
where crops, fruits. vegetables, ber-
ries and all, will grow to magnificent
frultion. that 1t is being done sue
cessfully and can be done by anyone
who Will
Exposition Is Remarkable.
The exposition is a really remark
able one In every respect. EmphasIz-
ing as 1t does one great practical
thought-conservat ion-it is more II
the ideal exposition than any vet
held in this country. The stranger
is greatly surprised ut the magnitude
Of the exposition. He did not expect
It on so great a scale The next i'm
preston is a distinct one Of the in
tense practicalness OF it, The lessons
which stand out startling, alarming
and impressive to the limit, OF how
to save and how to protect, how to
live better, happier longer. how to
make the most Of resources and. last
ly, the greatness OF the resources to
be used.
Knoxville deserves immense credit
for this unique and uneNCelled exposi-
ton, Very few have been larger and
none have been so intensely practical
and helpful.
