buildings in the county. Booklets,
made, illustrated and written up by
pupils, dealing With various subjects
of the school course, told Of correla-
tion in Oconee also. An especially
fine feature O. the exhibit was a piece
of Indian W 4aving, most attractive in
color and design.
But most striking OF all were the
displays of the extension sewing and
cooking classes, the work Of the
Homekeepers' Clubs organized in
connection with the schools. Most
of this sewing had been done during
the summer vacation by organiza-
tions of school girls, who met at "a
rious times to exchange ideas, always
! bringing their sewing with them and
emphasizing the useful phases of the
art. The cooking, on the other
hand, represented the work of the
winter cooking clubs, also a give-and-
take affair, with emphasis on the
close following Of recipes and the
keeping of exact records of proceed
ure. The cooking exhibit included
candies, cakes, biscuits, and n fine
turkey done" to the right brown.
From this and other cooking exhibits
visitors to the fair were constantly
neous testimony to the appetizing ap-
pearance of the viands on display.
Finally, the exhibit contained
some good pieces of work sent in by
pupils whose teachers had done moth
ing to secure them. These pupils
had seen county exhibits and had
been stimulated to contribute some
piece of school work to the display at
the fair. This, in connection with
the displays from the Homekeepers'
Club, may suggest as the lesson of
the Oconee exhibit how far and to
what useful ends the influence of the
school may affect individuals and
communities in rural districts. Home
keepers work is possible for every
rural school.
Four Lessons Taught.
Four predominant lessons stand
out above all the lessons these beau
tiful exhibits had to teach the South
Carolina public. The first is that,
though the power that moves the
lever which raises the school COM
munity from each lower to each
higher plane is the expert county su-
pervision Of teachers and schools, the
fulcrum is the native boy and girl
