Show UINTAH SCHOOL FAIR IS SUCCESS Thirty Varieties of Flowers Raised by Pupils Shown in Exhibits at Auditorium Audi-torium Last Evening. The Uintah grade school fair was held in the auditorium of the Uintah building last night. The fair is the result re-sult of the school children's gardening during the summer months, showing more than thirty different kinds of flowers and twenty-five kinds of vegetables vege-tables raised in the home gardens of the students. The judges of the fair were Perley A. Hill, landscape architect archi-tect of the'capitol, and Dr. W. B. Preston, Pres-ton, first lieutenant of the Utah medical medi-cal corps. A. B. Kesler, principal of the school, had charge of the fair. One of the features of the fair was the long rows of flowers running the entire length of the auditorium. The exhibits showed careful work, and proved that the school children could accomplish something worth while in this line, was the comment of Mr. Hill. Over $100 was given out in cash prizes to the winners. Every child, however, who participated in the far will get a prize, said Mr. Kesler, and another distribution of seed for the coming summer will be made in about two weeks. |
