Chapters and 6-Leader, Prof. w.

School Improvement" Leader,
Prof. J. M. Hayse.
At the meeting, 1t is also probable
that plans for the summer institute
for the teachers of Maury county will
be discussed and decided upon. Prof.
Graham will talk upon the examina-
tion to be given the teachers, telling
the date and the place where they
will be held.
Quite a number of the teachers are
contemplating taking summer cours-
es at various colleges and universi.
ties Some of them have expressed
the intention of going to Murfrees-
boro to attend the normal there for a
few weeks, while still others are
thinking of going to Knoxville to the
University of Tennessee. These sum-
mer courses are very helpful, and it
is becoming more and more the GUS
tom of the county teachers to spend
a portion of each summer at these
schools.

You no uOuOu nave oecn Wou
dering, as we'll as the readers OF

correspondent from this place,
therefore | have this explanation
to offer. In the hrst place | wish
to saw that l was, to some extent,
connected with the fair that was
pulled off here some four or FIVE
weeks ago, and since that time
have been assisting th1secIetary
and other officers endeavor to find
out exactly how many people ut
tended the fair. After working
day and night for several weeks
we at last came to the conclusion
that it was useless to further thu
investigation as it was found that
the ticket seller ran ont of tickets
the second day. that the people
were so anxious to get thru the
gate that he had no time to secure
the used tickets from the gate
keepers, and had given orders 10
admit all with or without the pass
word, so alive know is the peo'
ple were here. The seventeen
acres We had provided, thinking
this was ample space for Kentucky
day at the State Fair, was filled
SO full that there was not room
for a cross eyed man to "bat his
eve" The investigation shows
conclusively that the fair with all
she had to undergo, being the
first attempt under the new name,
facing all kinds of opposition,
false reports and numerous set
backs, made good and has some
to spare. 1t will be remembered
that the first and third days were
anything but ''fair" days, but we
all now realize that had these days
been as favorable as the second we
would have been busy until this
good hour counting our money.

were going to say anything, ex'
