The modern fair is " I'tilmwtli of the i11
English fairs held iihmit the Twelfth (Vn

fair was to sell merchandise. They were
operated liy private parties and were held
annually in most places. At first they were
held in church yards.
Fairs, Old and Most of them were held
Modern. just outside the town
and feiits ami wooden
booths were erected for flic merchants. When
merchants from foreign towns or other Knji
lish towns came, thev choose their booth or
with assigned booths so that merchants of
one kind could be kept together. After the
fair was formally opened no dealer in the
town could sell or buy unless within the fair
grounds. The town ollicials resigned their
duties and those in charge of the fair took
control for the six or twelve days which the
fairs lasled.
Tolls were collected by those in charge and

To prevent abuses and to settle disputes
arising in I he nuns!, oi ine misy irauiu, me
lord controlling Ihe fair appointed his officers
to form courts and try the cases as they arose.
A (vvid variety of cases came up, such as
disputes to debts, false measurements, failure
to perform contracts and many others. Some
times the courts decided off band, somel hues
juries heard Ihe case. This was called flic
court of "pie powder" coming from pied
poundre or dusty foot, from the travelers who
freqiicnlcd the fairs. The law which the
court administered was Known as tlie "law
merchant" which was somewhat less riid
fhan (lie common law.

several hundred years later the original idea

time tin' fair is a different institution than
the old Knaiisli nioilel. The display of flic
. products of the counlry and the opportunity
of oxclmnning ideas, coupled with educa
tional aniuseiueuls, now constitutes their
main function. As such they justify (heir

done by the bands, with the co-operation of
the heart and head, of course, tie believes
that we tfrow through expression, by working
ourselvps into our acts, thoughts and ser
vices. We develop as we live out loud. The
Youth should feel himself a force in Nature,
a live and vilal part in the scheme of things,
hence he should be in the workshop and in
the study that helps him to understand and
interpret. This is real opportunity, of the
kind the Constitution refers, if you like.
Such an education does not prepare a per
son to live, he lives at the time. He gradu
ates with a working acquaintanceship with
some profession by which he can earn his
daily bread, a thing not to be overlooked in
these days. Every graduate of the High
Schools should be fitted to start life experi
enced, seasoned, strong and self-reliant.
Such is the trend of education at the present
time and happy is he who has joined the
foreward looking vanguard now well out up
on the highwav.
