which opened at the High school build
ing Thursday last, has been the center
of attraction ever since and the rooms
assigned TO its use have been thronged
constantly both day and evening. The
exhibit is not an array of prize efforts of
a few select pupils, but embraces work
done at the commencement and towards
the close of the current school year,
which terminates on Friday next. In it
is to be found the work OF pupils in each
of the several departments of the vari-
Gus city schools from the primary to the
High school grades, and SO numerous,
varied and interesting are the items of
the collection as to require more than
one visit to see and appreciate
what the rising generation of
Saltwater has been about for
the past year. The whole exhibit is in
charge of Miss Lulu Hollowell, teacher
in drawing, who has arranged the eX-
hibit by departments and schools in
pleasing and artistic fashion upon the
walls of the three large rooms, which
are set apart for that purpose on the
third floor of the High school building,
and upon tables provided Tor that pur-
pOSe.1 There are two distinctive
features Of the exhibit, each arranged
with a view of demonstrating the adj
vancement made by the pupils during
the year. These consist of the written
examination papers of the pupils,
which embraces all branches pursued
by them, and the specimens of drawing
and artistic and fancy work taught
under the direction of Miss Hallowell,
together with samples of mechani-
cal work from the workshop. In
the primary grades the pupil is
first taught to arrange cOlOred sticks on
a white ground from models or to
hard soap or to fold colored paper into
figures of neat and attractive form.
Further on they are taught to draw and
sketch and the boys to pattern articles
from wood in the workshop. The girls
are taught both plain and fancy stitching
as well. Some of the objects of special
note are the words 'Schulenberg'
(schOoD and First Primary" made of
numerous bits of colOred paper folded
to certain form and fastened to white
surface. A clay model of Saltwater,
showing the lake, bluffs, streets, public
buildings, ETC., in perfect contour, arts
tic designs for the decoration of walls
and ceilings, miniature bedroom
set neatly upholstered, and the
charcoal sketches of some of
the high school scholars, particularly
those of animals, some of which display
a remarkable degree of talent. The eX-
animation papers are a most interest
ing part of the exhibit, and show hard
work and commendable degree of sue
cess. The exhibit of the first attempts
of the primary scholars at penmanship
last September, some of them being
only jagged, irregular line, coupled
with the name, neatly written a few
days ago, speaks for itself as to the
character and efficiency of their train
ing. After viewing the exhibit of the
practical work of our public schools it
is no wonder that the citizens of Still
water claim to have the best and most
efficient public schools of any city in
America. From Prof. t. NJ. Wilson
down the corps of teachers are alive to
the responsibility of their position, and
wholly and solely to their work.
We are also proud of the fact that we
have the finest and best appointed High
school building. Gf not the largestl in
the state, two large three-story stone
school buildings, and three or four
smaller wooden ones in the outskirts,
all well heated, well ventilated, we'll
lighted, and supplied with modern ap-
plratuS and fixtures. The school year
closes on Friday of this week, when
class will graduate in the regular state
High school course. The school exhibit
will be kept open by special request of
the patrons of the schools during Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of the
present week, day and evening, to allow
all who feel interested ample oppor-
tuDitV n visit and incpaot
SOCIAL. AND PERSONAL.
The inspection of Company K, First
regiment, Friday evening by Gen.
Brand, of the state staff, and Col Bend,
drew out a large crowd of visitors, and
the company presented fifty-seven men
out of siXty-tWo for inspection. The
large percentage of new men caused
some confusion in drills, but it all
passed off satisfactorily.
