stustrtal Exhibitions.

On the I'd Of November next, the New York pub
lie schools will hold semi, annual exhibition OF
the products of their pupils for the last six months.
| These exhibitions have been held, at the close OF
| each semi annual examination, for several years.
| They are in fact part and the most interesting
part Of these examinations, they give both teach
ers and pupils opportunity to examine the work
Of each other, and crowd of visers to examine the
work of the whole
The specimens of artislical skill, exhibiting a
knowledge Of science, thus collected to be again
scattered, have produced great work-ueyy great
,oork. Thousands upon thousands have been dis
trbned, not only TO all parts of this country, but to
many parts of oil countries. On one OCCASION every
member of the New York Legislature received
from these young hands package, each embrac-
ing a map of his county, and map of Palestine,
with drawings of the natural history of the State
copied from the reports of the geological survey.
These reports occupy some fifteen large quarto
volumes, and embrace every department of natu-
raj history-minerals, fossils, shells, plants rep
tiles, insects, fishes, birds, quadrupcds, &c.
On another occasion, every county superintend-
ent of schools, present at a State convention at
Syracuse, received similar specimens. Not long
alter this occasion, of the superntendents
stated, at public meeting in New York city, that
by the aid OF the specimens thus received, he did
more Tue SCHOOLS IN MS county IN nyc months,
than he could have done without them in as many
years.
Several thousand specimens, from the same
source, have been distributed into all parts of this
country by members of Congress, more than one
hundred of whom have shown the value they placed
upon them by very handsome Acknowledgements
They have now been distributed to other countries
by foreign ministers, consuls, and other national
functionaries from abroad; also, by professors of
various universities on professional visits to the
United States. Professor Nichol, of the University
of Glasgow, took with him box containing more
than bushe of school products from New York.
He remarked of them: 81. neper sao any thing so
beautiful"
Through the various public functionaries of this
and Of other countries State and National the super
ntendcnts of schools have received the work Of these
young hands. The work thus received has been
exhibited at various meetings held by them in their
professional tours, to animate others go and do
likewise.
In conncxion with these very interesting and
fruitful OCCASIONS others will be held in all parts of
the country Industrial Exhibitions will thus
become the order of the day, and for supplying
them, schools will be, and must be, Industrial In
shtutions, just what now they not. II.
