HIGH SCHOOL HALL
Large Number of People Visit the Exhib1t-Much Interest in the Dis nI

at High School hall passed as pleasantly as have the two preceding days. The Welch and edar street and the Woolsey and Whi- ting street schools visited the exhibition yes terday This exhibition is totally unlike anything else in the world. It has the ap- pearance, at first sight, of great fair for the display of useful and fancy articles.
 Principal Mark Putnam, of Woolsey school, was at the exhibition yesterday, and he ex- plained the efforts of the young people in modelling sculpturesque work. The boys take wet clay and on slate form their pro- file models of heads, generally of heroic description. The plaster of Paris is then mixed and a mould is obtained. The boy then makes his cast into the moulds and has an opportunity to correct any fauftiness he may discern. The models are first formed in paper, press ed to. the right proportion These are hung on the walls where twenty-five learners can see them and once in a while pupil is all lowed for minute or two to take one down for close examination, Mamie Sperry of No. 12 Woolsay school and Fife Smith of No. 12 of the same school having distinguished themselves in this line of art. The latter has sent to the recent school exhibition in New York some of her handiwork. Bonnie Arnold, of Skinner school, has done we'll also with-his clay, and tile by Irving Hurlburt, which has been baked, would adorn 8 rich mans dwelling.
 The exhibition of miscellaneous work ex- cells any display of the kind ever shown in this city. It is all done by school children and is creditable alike to themselves and their teachers. In this department are seen artistic needle work, decorative painting, ex- quisite embroidery and many unique articles that mark the cultivated taste. All the ted in
 Dwight school should be regarded pio- neer in industrial work. The contributions from this school have been much compIi- mented. Among the many articles Hattie Schneelock contributes an artistic picture frame and ther- mered brass plaque; Emma Chatterton, painted peoples; Mary Downey, paintings and embroideries; George Fox, Wallace Rit- ter and Maud Manwaring, fine specimens of repousse work; Louis Hitchcock, a milking stool; Lottie Lum, Bessie Lathrop, Agnes Kennedy, May Nichols, Jennie Lincoln and Mary Atwater contributed fine specimens of artistic needlework.
