last September. About II hours
have been devoted for lectures dur
ing the year. Jointing, dovetailing,
pinning, beaming, upholstering and
many devices in wood work had
been successfully taught and put
into actual practice. A long table
some 20 ft. long and six #. wide,
was crowded with exhibits of every
description. For amateur work it
was perfect. The best thing in the
carpenter shop was a miniature
bridge built by Masters Riley, Ad-
Olson, White, Gregory and Turner.
1t was an excellent design and
sEapely executed. A specimen
joint was shown, made by s. Sny-
dam, IA years old. 1t was per-
feet joint and the little workman
bids fair to become a number me-
chanic. Beaureaus. chairs, beds,
carts, ladders and many articles of
domestic use were elegantly made.
1t speaks we'll for the man in charge
and his ability as an instructor, and
the rapid progressive steps made
by the young pupils.
The scientific room presented
hydraulic arrangements for furnish.
ing the city with gas; ventilations
in mines, sound, instruments, free
hand drawings and batteries.
There were coils of wire connect.
ing two or three rooms in which
were telegraphic instruments by
which frequent dispatches were
sent by the small boys. A good
drawing of the intricate working
of the machine was on the board
and the drawing seemed more per.
fect than the instrument itself.
Girls sew we'll naturally although
there are not many tailoresses.
Every kind of garment of various
clothes, was tastefully arranged
in the sewing room. Each piece
having been made by the several
girl pupils of the different divisions
Miss Eva Grimshaw's bridge hav.
ing been made wholly with a pen
knife showed wonderful artistic
skill. Miss Eva Smiths doll baby
was quite pretty.
The EXHIBITS in paper work were
attractive, but served almost en-
tirely for decorative purposes
Mouldings in clay of every con
ceivable form could be seen scat
tered here and there. 1t is to bt
hoped that there will be harmony
in the promotion of these industrial
beginnings. The schools have done
creditably and should receive pub
lie appreciation.

THE COLORED SCHOOL Elk
HIBITIONi
REMARKABLE EXHIBITION,

The Industrial Exhibition held
at the Minor Building Friday and
Saturday last, marks a decided ad.
vance in practical training in our
public school life. Especially when
it is understood that the time for
preparation was short, and there
was the usual conspicuous lack of
unanimity among the trustees.
Miner Building was a poor place
for the exhibition, but it was the
best to be had under the circum-
stances. The white schools had
the rink. Their exhibition even
if of poorer quality showed to bet
ter advantage because Of the con-
veniences of arrangement. At 2:3O
on Friday last the BEE reporter en-
tered the building after having
been kept standing outside for a
half an hour. 1t was splendid
sight that met the gaze of visitors
as they fled in continuously until
the closing hour.

Where Is Mr. Smith,. Moneye

Our esteemed contemporaryth the Express
referring to an offer made through the
HERALD by John L. Smith, to bet 81 900
against $500 that this city goes Repub-
lican by 500 majority, has this to say:
We presume that the HERALD, which
is unequivocally Democratic, knows that
Mr.. Smith is responsible, or it would
not permit this challenge in its columns
As the Democrats have been claiming
400 or 500 majority in this city, here is a
good opportunity of testing the strength
of their opinions.
The ''good opportunity" will be to test
Mr.. Smiths responsibility. The HERALD
is newspaper, and if it gets possession
of legitimate news in legitimate way it
will use it. Mr.. Smith, or any one else
who wants to back his opinions in the
line indicated, will find his "good oppor-
tunity' by coming to this office this
afternoon at 4 o'clock. For particulars
reference is made to the local columns of
the HERALD.

Shall We Get a Boulevard,

Time and again the question of having
good road to Santa Monica has been
most earnestly agitated. We have not
got it yet. Good streets and good roads
are great desideratum in community
like ours. Hundreds of thousands Of
pleasure-seekers come here annually.
Last winter our reputation suffered
severely because of the horrid condition
of our streets. This year matters will
be little better; but they are
not what they should be. We
suffer all the time for lack of good
country roads. Towns of not one-quarter
our Importance outdo US largely in this
respect. Santa Clara county sprinkles
the fine roads of that county. From San
Jose to Santa Clara the Alameda" is
like floor. From San Jose to Gilroy is
a royal highway. Let us have one road
out Ninth, or Pico street, along the
Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas, by the Sol
diers' Home, to Santa Monica. If the
county cannot do it, let US get up COM
pany and get franchise to build the
road. 1t should be made by the prop
erty holders along the line. 1t should
not be money making affair, but the
charge ought merely to cover the cost of
keeping the road in proper shape.
With good roads and the big hotel
built, this section might then vie with
any in the world as pleasure resort.
