One of the most Interesting features of the National Corn Exposition, to be held In Columbia next January, is the first Exposition School for boys, which will be composed of the prize winners In the Boys' Coru Clubs in every county in the Southern States. The attendance upon the school is expected to roach at least one thous and, uud preparations are bcinj; laid on a broad scale. J. U. Holidy ot Alabama lias been .selected as Superintendent of the school. Mr. Hobdy is the assistant in charge of the Boys' Corn Club Work in Alabama, with headquarters at the State Agricultural College at Auburn. Later on lie will make his headquarters in the National Corn Ex position offices at Columbia. Mr. Hobdy stands excedingly high among agricultural educators of the country, and his experience fits him for the management of the unique school. The boys will be divided into companies, and squads, and through the co-operation of President Riggs of Clemson Agricultural College, cadets of the first class will be placed in com mand of the boys, who will be umier semi-military discipline during their stay in Columbia. They will be com fortably quartered on the State Fair Grounds near the Exposition build ings, and will be given daily instruc tion along agricultural lines by some of the foremost agriculturalists of the country who Avlll be in attend ance at. the Exposition. But the boys will not have all work: the City of Columbia, through its Council, has made an appropriation for a banquet to be given the boys on the last nigfrt of the school. The trip to South Carolina will of Itself be quite an incentive to any of the bOys liv ing In distant states. There are en rolled in Boys' Corn Clubs this year seventy-five thousand boys In the va rious Southern States, and the pupils I at the schcool will be the selected boys out of this great congregation.' As a tribute to Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, whose work for the agricul tural development of the South makes it peculiarly appropriate that his memory be honored In connection with the Boys' Corn Club Work, South Carolina will offer a handsome bronze bust, ps the prize for ihe state making the best showing ea?h year in the Boys and Girls' club work. The award of this bust of Dr. Knapp will be made during the Exposition School probably at the Boys' banquet. Sev eral notable men have already prom ised to be present on this occasion and participate in the issuing of di plomas to the" boys and awarding of the bust.
