Erwin, State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, today termed the North Carolina State Fair to be held at Raleigh, October 8-12, “an out standing educational institution and one which ought to be attended by the school children of the State to the fullest extent possible.” His praise of the fair came with the announcement that the State s 900,000 school children will be guests of the 1940 exposition on Friday, October 11. Tickets for pupils have been mailed to all county and city school superintendents. “I know of no place in which the resources of our State are exhibited so completely or to such great ad vantage,” Dr. Erwin said of the State Fair. “I am sure that any child attending the State Fair will go away with a finer spirit of State patriotism and with a better ap- preciaion of the magnificient re sources and possibilities of North Carolina.” Friday of Fair Week has been designated as “Young North Caro linians’ Day”; Wake County School Day will be observed on Tuesday, October 8 in order to avoid con gestion. Pupils will see agricultural, edu cational and industrial displays occu pying 92,000 square feet of exhibit space.
