AM interesting and suggestive exhihit of Nh,

An interesting and suggestive exhibit of the
practical work OF the school room was made by
Mr.. A. L. Hardy, principal of the West Ran
dolph graded school. Samples of penmanship
by primary scholars were highly creditable TO
the system devised by Mr. Hardy and the skill
with which 1t is taught. There were samples
of compositions of young scholars bringing in
certain specified words and written during the
few moments allowed for the exercise. These
seemed Invested Of the terrors and hackneyed
forms of the conventional composition"
They were fresh, bright and original, gram
matically composed and gracefully expressed.
Samples of map and technical drawing from
this school indicated that West Randolph
graded school is conducted for living purpose
and that it realizes that purpose.
