SHIP.
The exhibition of drawing and peDmanship

day in the Franklin and Sumner school build

the weather they were attended by large num-

THE COLORED SCHOOLS.
At the Sumner Building there was a large
crowd, including many gentlemen connected
with The professions. The exhibit was excel
lent. In the main hall there were stands
erected, on which the drawings were exhibit
ed; carefully arranged, according to grades
There were in this room all kinds of drawing,
including maps. decoration pieces, sketches,
geometrical drawings and designs. The copy
books were also here displayed, and the neat
penmanship was commented on very favor
ably. In some of the rooms the work of a spc-
Glal class in industrial drawing, organized
Jan. II last, was displayed, and this seemed to
pc as nearly perfect as is generally seen. In
the main hall the portraits of Trustee johnson
and superintendent Cock, by Ada Hand, in
crayon, attracted much attention. In one
room there were over 700 specimens of music
all original, which speaks well for the music
teacher, Professor ESputa. The professor of
drawing is Thomas }. Hunster, who has for
three years conducted the drawing class. and
the exhibit today reflects great credit upon
him.
