COMMUNITY FAIR
On Thursday, October 80, the
boys and girls Of the Georgetown
public school staged the first Com
munity Fair ever to be held in
Georgetown. Much interest was
shown in the project and one hun
dred and twenty-siX eXhibitors-al
students-put on display three hun
& dred exhibits. In addition to the
competitive exhibits two education
al displays were shown, one by the
agricultural boys and the other by
the commercial students.
The agricultural boys display
consisted of five full brother S. c.
w. L. cockerels and their sire,
which they had selected from the
flock owned by their instructor, f..
Thaddeus Warrington. This exhibit
was arranged to show the value of
a good male bird in a breeding pro-
gram. Many favorable comments
were expressed about the exception
ally uniform high standard type
and production ability shown by all
five of the cockerels.
The display shown by the com
mercial class consisted of dictation
.Sand typing demonstrations. Several
of the girls exhibited remarkable
Nskill and speed
In the evening an interesting pro
Ngram, consisting of a pageant The
Corn Carnival" and clQthing
~sketch, was given by the school
children. approximately four hun
rdred people visited the school to
view the exhibits and to enjoy the
entertainment
The exhibits were judged on mer-
!. it rather than simple comparison;
that is, a very good exhibit was
awarded blue ribbon, while Il fair
exhibit was awarded a red or white
ribbon even though it might have
been the best exhibit in its class.
This method of judging teaches the
boys and girls how to select eXhib-
its that are as free of defects as
possible.
