SCHOOL FAIR KNOX COUNTY

The Knox County School Fair was
held at the Court House in Barbour
Vile, Oct. 26 and 81, 1919.
The Court Room was filled with
Agricultural Products to overflow
ing. The display was one OF the best
to be witnessed in the State. The
teachers came with their schools on
Saturday eth, dressed in uniforms
peculiar to each school and each
school giving its individual school
yell. In the Grand parade there
were something like 20e0 pupils, be-
sides a large number of patrons from
each school. Every feature of the
program was engaged in and witness
ed with enthusiasm. There we're oy-
er 100 prizes offered by the citizens
Of the town and County. Many of
the contests were close and interest
ing. Everything seemed TO go off
in a pleasant way.
Feeling that this fair is one of the
greatest adjuncts to schools Of the
County, II is the intention of the
County Superintendent and the Coun
ty Board of Education to make it a
permanent feature of the schools.
There will be many new items added
to the Catalog another year.
