COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS 
Is the provision for traffic circulation, both pedestrian and 
vehicular, the best that could be desired? Are the two 
classes of traffic separated? 
Are the race-track and amphitheater well placed and equipped? 
Are the concessions properly cared for? 
Other similar questions will certainly arise during such a study, 
and should be answered. 
In case the class cannot visit any fair grounds in a body for this 
exercise, it may be possible for them to study the plan of some 
familiar grounds and to answer most of these questions from the 
plan. 
Finally each member of the class should reach the conclusion 
that the design of so complicated an organism as a fair grounds can 
be much better drawn by a trained landscape architect than by a 
county fair committee consisting of one retired farmer, one real 
estate promoter and one automobile dealer.
