Plans to make the Delaware State
Fair at Wilmington the biggest and
best exhibition OF its kind, where the
products Of the farm may be display
ed in q manner that will be likely to
open I'D new markets to the farmers
OF Delaware and the peninsula. are
back Of the movement to dispose OF
100000 Of additional stock OF the
Delaware State Fair during the week
of May Il. Hundreds OF DelaWare
ans under the direction Of David
Snellenburg, chairman for the cam
paign, have been lined up as workers
in every town and city in the State OF
Delaware, and from such an army OF
workers it is expected to put the
financial campaign over in a few
days, the goal being to interest thou
sands of citizens of Delaware and the
eastern shore of Maryland financially
in the Fair
In speaking of the purpose of the
Fair, Chairman Snellenburg said:
"a typical fair is an educational In
portray the industrial agricultural
domestic and commercial advance
ment from year to year of the COM
munity which It represents"
In order that supporters of the Fair
may know how their money is going
to be spent architects have carefully
gone over the Fair grounds and map
ped out new buildings. new streets
an walks. new parks permanent
lighting, water and sewer arrange
ments. new trolley and railroad sta
will make the grounds more attrac
tive and comfortable to the visitor
In brief. the proposed improvements
which have been approved by the
Board Of Directors of the Fair, and
many Of which will he put into effect
this year are as follows:
Exhibition Group.
A separate Boys and Girls Club
building for all junior exhibits should
be built just to the ,uth of the Della
ware College buildino. This should
be the largest of the group of the ex-
hibition buildings.
Industrial Group.
Probably the most immediate neces-
sary building on the grounds is new
Industrial Arts Building to adequate
ly house the industrial exhibits of the
many and varied manufacturing Or
foundations in the State of Delaware
An auto show building is the next

be one of the most attractive and de

A charge can be made for space IL

Show buildings. so that in five years
time they will pay for themselves
Machinery Hall, low. open sides

The 1924 program Of the Greatest

five troupes of performing elephants

These number three companies OF

trained Russian stations have been
added to the European equine dis

Equestrionism Is one of the out
standing features. In contrast with
the human side of the Big Show are
two hundred trained wild animals
numbering lions, tigers, coal-blacb

Somebody has dug into the polit-
ical archieyes and finds that during
the last seventy-five years the state
of New York has had but three Demo-
cratic candidates for the presidency,
that two of them were defeated,
while Grover Cleveland, the success
full one, was bitter opponent of
Tammany Hall. 1t will be interest
ing to note the reaction of the Demo-
cratic party to Al Smith, another New
Yorker who is a candidate for the
presidency and who is an idol of
Tammany and has the backing of the
powerful political organization. 1t
is political history that when Tam
many backs a Democratic candidate
he is defeated. How will it be this

TEN.
| Teachers of the county appreciate
the willingness of their State Super
visor of Elementary Schools, Miss l.
Jewell Simpson, to visit them at this
season of the year and share with
them their difficulties in walking
through snow-drifts as we'll as to en-
courage and help them with their pro-
fessional difficulties which are more
discouraging. Miss Simpson was
with the teachers at johnson school
on March 9Th.
The New Germany school is setting
the pace for Improvements of several
kinds. The classroom has good air
at all times. The equipment added
includes shades, library, a diction-
airy for every family and a nice oak
bookcase which the boys have made
in the Industrial Arts period. Another
big piece of equipment is to be added
soon. And, note this, the children
brush their teeth and hair daily, come
to school clean, and have at least
weekly bath. This school invites
competition along these lines from all
members of our group.
The first group meeting of teachers
of equal training to be held in this
county was held at Frostburg on Sat-
urday, February Is. The meeting
was well attended; two were absent,
but both snow-bound.
The Bittinger school continues to
hold its two teachers on probation.
The attendance has not been sufficient
to justify the expense, but the re-
markable improvement shown in the
last two months leads to the hope
that with scarlet fever banished the
attendance will be normal again. 1t
is purely a matter of attendance now
whether this remains a two-teacher
school.
The Finzcl school has been changed
to one-teacher school because of the
removal of many children from the
community.
The Cation school, destroyed by fire
about year ago, has been rebuilt
upon a much more favorable site, and
is much more modern in structure.
1t resumed work on January as a
two-teacher school, the heavy enroll
ment of last year justifying this
change. The present principal, Miss
Emma Mckenzie, has gotten practi-
cally all children in and work seems
to be going smoothly. We could wish
that all other schools contributed as
faithfully to our newspapers as does
this one.
Watch for the news letter from our
school as reported elsewhere in this
paper. Does your school make
creditable showing? If it does not
show at all, investigate and learn
why.
We note with real joy that the gov
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-03-27

ernor has submitted a budget, with
an adequate supplement, to insure a
continuance of the present school
system in Garrett county without in
creased taxation for the citizens.
This is news which we really appre-
ciate.
The February Attendance Bulletin
announces the Grantsville Supervis-
DRY Unit in the lead in attendance for
the second time this season. This
report delights US and we hope very
much that we may later say, Gin the
lead for the third time" We cannot
hope to do this, however, if the usual
number of children are retained at
home during sugar making"
