Com clubs, tomato clubs, and county school fairs in Virginia, T. S. 

 Settle (W. Va. Univ. Buh, 13. ser., 1912, No. 3, pp. 11-11, figs. 6).— This article 

 describes briefly the work of these clubs in Virginia and how they are carried, 

 on with reference to the rural schools. The principal weakness of such organi- 

 zations pointed out is that such a small percentage of the school children can 

 do this work. To supply the need which this organization failed to satisfy the 

 county school fair has been organized, which, in addition to giving each pupil 

 an opportunity to engage in some form of agricultural, industrial, or domestic 

 work, adds to the recreational life of country people. The manner in which 

 these county fairs are carried out is illustrated and described in detail.
