THE MISSING TEACHERS.
FACES THAT WILL NOT BE SEEN AT THE
SCHOOLS TOMORROW.

Creditabie showing of the PupiIs In the Ex-
hIbit for the Exposirion-superiutend
Luckey's Vain Chase for the Gold Medal
Won mt Paris-EducuIiouaI Gossip.
At the Central Board of Education yes
terday two neatly bound volumes attracted
much attention. 1t constituted the educa-
tional exhibit prepared by the pupils of the
lowest primary grades of the Pittsburg
schools for the Exposition. In all it will
consist of 100 volumes, which are to be
! ready In ample time for the Wednesday
opening.
Yesterday someone admiringly stated that
the Pittsburg exhibit could not be excelled
by any city in the State, but Superintendent
Luckey proudly asserted it could not be
beaten in the United States. In the lower
grades language and arithmetic are the only
subjects. The display is made up of every
topic in school life. There are short stories
built upon the drawings that the pupils
made, and some of those who helped to pre-
pare the exhibit have photographs Of them
selves on the papers, and then
cutely give a good deal of information
about themselves Six-year-olds furnish
remarkable manuscript work and drawings.
The Parisians could not be made to believe
that children years old furnished por-
tion of the Pittsburg exhibit at the Paris
Exposition. This brings up the question as
to what has become of the gold medal
awarded for the Pittsburg school exhibit at
Paris. Superintendent Luckey, during his
recent European tour, made every effort to
find out, but was unsuccessful. Neither
could be discover anyone who knew any
thing about it. Perhaps Mr. Luckey's lack
of "parlez-vous" had much to do with his
failure.
BEGINS WITH A HOLIDAY.
Though the school bells will ring to-mor-
row it will be merely a preliminary open
ing, for, as it is Labor Day, the school roll
will simply be called and the schools dis
