ty. 1t contained excellent specimens
OF map drawing, color work In con.

.But most striking OF all were the
displays of the extension sewing

The cooking on teh other hand repre-.

clubs, also give-and-take affair, with
emphasis in the close following the
recipes and the keeping of exact rec
ords OF procedure. The cooking ex-
hibit included candies, cakes, biscuits,
/ and fine turkey "done" to the right

exhibits, visitors to the fair were con-

play.
Finally the exhibit, contained some
good pieces of work sent In by pupils
whose teachers had done nothing to
secure them; these pupils had seen
county exhibits and had been stimu>

school work to the display at the fair.
This, in connection with the display

ends the influence of the school may
affect individuals and communities in
