The public school, exhibit of the District for
the Paris Exposition was sent fro IN the city

give satisfactory idea of the best style of
school building, of the organization of the
schools, their rules and regulations, their
courses of study, and of the pupils work. Con
SideriDg the comparatively small space in
which so much is TO be represented, the plan
is carried out with remarkable success. The
whole exhibit is on. ill., or attached to single
revolving bookcase of peculiar pattern. Placed
on top of the bookcase is the model of a pro-
venerable secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, the Henry Building" This moder is
palmer in external appearance than that of

OF penmanShip and manuscripts of eXamina-
lions, and Is highly credltaOle to them. Two
handsomely bound volumes contain standard
American poems copied by pupils in the Sth
