A SCIENCE FAIR

The exhibitors were allowed to keep any material they wanted. The remainder was kept as valuable material for classwork demonstrations. Great care was taken to see that all borrowed articles were returned. The hearty cooperation of local firms in lending articles was essential to the success of the Fair. However; no firm's name was displayed a t the exhibit. A notice thanking all who had assisted, but without mentioning the names of the firms, was inserted in the local papers after the Science Fair closed. The Fair was not commercialized and no admittance fee was charged. However, there was some expense connected with the decorations which had to be met. This was done by selling pop-corn and soft drinks, donated by local firms. The success of this Fair has set us to planning for another one in about two years with a complete new list of exhibits. The Science Fair fully qualified as an educational project, for it enabled the exhibitors to learn from books, people, and things.
