Preparations are in progress for the
annual county school fair, which is TO
be held Friday. April l3. Instructions
to teachers were sent out from the de-
parthcnt OF education several weeks
ago and teachers and pupils have been
busy in preparation for the annual
event. Last week the preliminary
defamation contests were held in the
various sections Of the county and by
now the contestants who are TO enter
the many contests have been about de-
cidod upon. Reports coming into the
ot'icc OF the department Of education
indicate that the fair will be largely at
tended and be equal in interest and
TO previous events of the
kind.
The instructions prepared by the
department Of education show that the
l"i' fair will be conducted along the
same line as previous fairs. The liter
aly and defamation contests are to be
hcld in The graded school auditorium,
with the exception of the primary
defamation contest, which is to be
held in the Baptist church. The ath-
lctlc contests are to be held on the
graded school grounds and the ex-
hibits in art and handiwork are to be
shown in the court house. The high
school oratorical contest, as in past
years, will be held in the graded school
building at night and to this the Gus
tomary small admission fee will be
charged
The parade this year will take on a
patriotic air. United States flags are
expected to he shown in profusion
Each child of the Laurens graded
school has been provided with flag
to be carried in the parade and other
schools will doubtless have large num-
bers Of flags. The stores in the city are
expected to make a patriotic display
at the same time by having their stores
decorated in national colors and by
displaying flags on the front and top
of buildings.
