The annual report Of the American

The county school fair idea was orr
ginated by public spirited women of
Lynchburg. who presented plan for
an Industrial fair In connection with
the country schools TO the Virginia
Federation Of Women's clubs The
federation adopted the plan in 1907
0s. Following this action, one of the
federated clubs OF Lynchburg tend
ered It's assistance in working up q
fair TO Superintendent of Schools w.
L. Garhee. of Campbell county. and
the proposal was welcomed. The
first school fair in Virginia was held
in Rustburg, Campbell county. in
October, 1908. So rapidly did 1t take
hold there that in 1910 a special hall
was built. and this year special de-
monstrators in domestic science and
agriculture are employed in connec-
ton with the work.
The school fair has become an IN
stitution in one half the counties OF
the State, and is beginning to ffnd
footholds in other States as prac-
teal method of educating. in the
truest sense OF the word, the coun-

HAS ENVIABLE RECORD
INSTITUTION WILL START THE
NEXT SESSION WITH SEVEN
ACCOMPLISHED EDUCATORS
ON THE FACULTY.

Richmond academy was founded in
June, 1902. by the authorities of
Richmond college. With a modest
equipment to accommodate about fifty
boys the school was conducted for
three years with one Of the college
professors in charge as dean OF the
academy department.
This arrangement proving unsatis-
factory, the plan was abolished and
a dean elected to give his time en-
,irely to the interest Of the school.
For this purpose. William l.. Prince,
an honored alumnus of the college,
and a gentleman with broad teach
ing and business experience was Sc
lected. With the first session under
this plan the enrolment almost
doubled any previous year, until
within the last five years the ques-
ton has been how to accommodate
all applicants. The buildings have
from time TO time been enlarged to
meet the growth of the school. The
faculty has been increased in num-
bers, and only trained university and
college men of experience and char
acter selected. How Richmond acad-
envy can afford to engage men of
such training and experience Is a
question frequently asked among the
friends OF the institution. The an
swer is that there is put back In the
school each year every dollar and
more than 1t turns into the treasury
Of the college. The purpose of the
school la not to make money but 10

college or business life.
For the coS1ing session there are

of arts of William ana Mary college.

had experience in teaching, varying

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The monthly review of trade con-
ditions. embracing a business fore
cast for September. just issued by
the American National bank. makes
interesting reading and is of in
estimable value. These reviews are
always carefully compiled, reliable
and are highly regarded by business
men.
Commenting on the business situa-
ton the September review says:
The slight easing up Of the money
market has been due to several fac
tors Strikes have reduced the out
nut of minerals and as most concerns
have been steadily adding to their
cash reserves during the last few
weeks. the country is today in fairly
good shape TO handle the early crops.
The decision Of the treasury depart
ment to deposit fifty million dollars
next week in the banks in the prin-
cipal crop sections will make the grain
movement easier, although as q par
tial offset TO this the government
deposits in banks have declined as
much as twenty million dollars dur
ing the past two months. so that the
actual additional deposit will amount
to only thirty millions.
The terrific damage done the corn
crop by drought and the decline in
the cotton condition in the South
west mean that less money will be
required for handling the crops in
these sections.
