lent exhibition of drawings and water

ings are both free hand and mechani-
cal. The free hand work is
especially fine and ranks even with some
of the best professional work exhibited
The mechanical drawing is in nearly all
cases perfectly true and the specimens
of work exhibited are of the beet work
done by the scholars. The drawings are
encased In neat enameled wooden frames
and their appearance does credit TO the
work expended on them both by the
pupils and their able teacher, Olawson
r Hammitt. These drawings are the
work of the past term and they have
already been on exhibition at the school
for some time.
