I Each school elected a repre- sentative from among the pupils. who met in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture and formed the Rural School Fair As- sociation, consisting of president vice president, secretary, treas- urer and board of directors. At their first meeting the following rules. directions and prize list were drafted and confirmed. The rules : 1 â€"â€"Each pupil may make a choice of but one of Classes 1 to: 5. He or she may also enter any one. or all ot__the other classes. Nor was the poultry department neglected. The eggs for hatching were from a laying strain of Plymouth Rocks from the Ontario Agricultural College and. as there were only a limited number for distribution, no school was allowed more than six dozen, and the teacher and pupils decided Who was to have them. The seed from each cro sent out ,Was all taken from t same sample, so that all the pupils started on an equal basis, as far as the seed was concerned. You will also notice that the directions which were given and which 1 will give later, were sufficient only to make the competition equal to all. No directions as to the best wav of growing the crOps were given, but with so many sources of information the boy or girl who learned the most about, and gave the greatest care to his or her crop, had the best results. But what is the object of this fair? The object of the School Fair is to stimulate an interest in agriculture among the pupils of the schools of the rural districts. awakenin in them the pleas- ures an the possibilities of a rural life; so that in after years, when the child- ren of to-day are the men and women of to-morrow, they will not only be better equipped. but also more enthusiastic in the practice of their calling. Before proceeding to describe the Fair it will be necessary for me to give a few of the prelim- inary steps leading to its organ- ization. In the spring, the Cedar- ville Women’s Institute extended an invitation to Mr. Duff. District Representative of the Department of Agriculture, at Markdale, to address their meeting on the subject, “The School Fair.” The invitation was accepted and Mr. Duff made a- very favorable im- pression on his audience. At this meeting it was also decided to ap- point two members of the Institute to address meetings in the various schools in which the work was to be taken‘ with the view of educat- ing the trustees and _ratepayers. What is the School Fair? It is a fair or exhibition conducted for the children and by the children themselves. - Our School Fair. therefore, was held under the aus- pices of the Proton Rural School Fair Association. in S. S. No. 3. Proton, on Tuesday, September 16. 1913. z.â€"At OUR SCHOOL FAIR For Potatoes. For oCorn. one o’clock, the entries had all been made and evvrynne pl‘ucm’d- ed 'to have lunch. Shortly after .0110 «o’clock, Mr. Duff. with astaff of (three judges, began to award the «prizes, and While this was in .process, and games and sports which were arrangm’l for the children Were‘ carried out, and prizes awarded for the various . competitions. A 8 CM invitation was ex- tende to all interested in school work to be present, and the pat- ronage and co-operation of the parents was earnestly solicited. This was the first Fair in the county of Grey, and the Depart- ment did not spare any pains or expense to demonstrate the ob- jects and possibilities of this branch of agricultural education. The invitation and request Was well responded to by an approxi- mate crowd of 300 men. women and children, who Were awakened to the realization of the possibil- ities which lay before the country boy and girl of to-uay. ‘ The races Were almost oxer. the judging was finished. “hen rain began to descend, and exerx'one rushed to the tent for shelter and to inspect the exhibits which Were numerous and of excellent quality. The rain continued. and the prize- Winners Were called into the school where thep prize-money Was dis- tributed. It Was the intention of Mr. Duff to have a short pro- gramme of speeches. etc., at the close. but the rain continuing pre- vented this. on which the bread. cake. Weeds and grains Were plzu'vd.

With the prospect of prizes bright before them. .the pupils at once set to work to cultivate their plots and raise the chickens. The Fair Day arrived; the morn- ing came with glorious prospects. The sun was shining in all its an- tumn glory. Early in the foreâ€" noon, Mr. ‘C‘oke, the assistant rep- resentative of- the Department. was seen on the school grounds directing a number of men in the erection of a massive tent. sup- plied by the Department. for the soc-on'trnodation of V the exhibits.
