The BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG PAINTING was
visited during the daytime yesterday by the
members of the high school and the Highland
cadets, tee former accompanied by the princi
pal, Mr.. Davis, and the other teachers, and the
cadets by Mr.. Metcalf, principal Of the Highland
school. Col. Bachelor spent considerable time
and took great pains to make the lecture COM
prehensve and of value to the scholars, and
says that he never saw more interest manifested
than was shown by his large audience of pupils
yesterday afternoon. By the action of the school
board, which appears in the report of their meet
ing, provision is made for exhibiting the picture
to the scholars of the other schools during the
week.
The young ladies from the Dread and also the
boys from the Technical school visit the picture
this afternoon, and Tonight; previous to the lee
ture describing the battle, the colonel will read
from carelully@ prepared data concerning the
great campaign, of which this battle was the
elimination. This was suggested by the deep
interest which has been here manifested in the
lectures, us well as the picture itself, and will be
an interesting feature this evening. The daily
exhibitions are meeting with good patronage
from the best of the people, and now that pro-
vision has been made for the schools, there is
lttIe doubt that the people of Worcester will all
, have seen this work Of art before it leaves the
city, or at least that portion of the people hay
ing taste for and understanding of matters
pertaining to art aud history.
