The Exhibition of School Work atOdd-
fellows Hall was a creditable affair, and
shows that our schools are not to be con-
demned as worthless, as has been the GUS
tom in certain quarters of late.
The display fully demonstrated the
activity and energy of those engaged in it.
The school work also was of a solid charac-
ter, showing that less attention has been
paid to ornament than to practical instruc-
tion. The penmanship was excellent, and
/ we are assured that all of it was executed
by the pupils there, when "under the
teachers eye," and not, as is too often the
case, by so me one "out of school,"
This exhibition proves that marked
progress has been made in our schools,
especially in writing and drawing in the
primary grades. This was pronounced by
critics as being almost marvellous in its re-
suits, the slate work of children six and
seven years old exhibiting specimens of
writing that were truly praseworthy.
Our primary teachers ought to be our
best teachers, and this work proves that
they are at least up the standard.
