THE sECoHDDAY

siderable time and was piloted about by
Superintendent Curtis around the whole
exhibit. He spoke of the exhibition in
warmest praise.
Whew but it was just little hot in the
armory all day long. To be sure every
ono was supplied with fan who wished
one; and how vigorously they were piled
back and forth.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the day was the concert given in the even
ing by the choir of 400 voices assisted by
the High School Banjo club. Every num-
Der rendered was loudly applauded, and
deserved it too. The crowd present in
the evening was tremendous, there being
hardly room to move about. The galleries
reflled as well with the sight seers.
The names of some Of the children who
yesterday gave public exhibition of what
they could do are as follows: Wood cary
ing, under Mr.. PurcelIs supervision, the

THE AR1THMErIcAL CHARTS.
In the south central part of the armory
hang the arithmetical charts of the city
schools, showing clearly to the eye the
neat, careful work given by most of our
pupils; also showing, by illustration aud
analysis a clear understanding of the sub
jects taught by faithful and Conscientious
| teachers.
In the work, as in all othery are promi-
nent many excellent points. Among the
charts of the four upper grades, conspicu-
GUS in excellency is one from Winchester,
| grade VIII, which artistically and accur-
ately illustrates mensuration. Upon each
paper are pasted the problems to be
worked out below. This seems an excel
lent method, whereby each child works
out and illustrates for himself problems
entirely independent of his neighbor. This
device for Independent problem work is
used by Winchester, grade VII; Cedar
grade and vi; Dixwell avenue, grade V,
and Shelton avenue, grade ".
Inconspicuous for heading, but equally
Woolsey, grade VIII, in position second
chart from Winchester.
This chart abundantly and accurately il
Illustrates by a series of papers the subject
of mensuration. The mechanical work, as
well as the illustration, shows great care
and pains on the part Of teacher and
pupils.
Below Woolsey is Webster, grade VIII
Not SO prominent for illustration, but
i
thought gained by the teacher.
On Washington chart, grade VIII, are
two excellent papers by Robert Kearney
and Levy Brown, originally illustrating
| longitude and time.
The chart of Lowell, grade VIII, dis
plays care, neatness and accuracy of work.
On Shelton avenue chart, grade VII, are
| three papers, unique and novel, in illus
tration of longitude and time.
Woolsey chart, grade VII, shows a clear
understanding of the subjects of notes and
bonds as taught by the teacher.
Two excellent groups of papers appear
| at the bottom of the chart, illustrating q.
S. bonds and coupons attached.
Prominent also among the charts of the
vi grade, for neatness of illustration and
| comprehension of work, are Eaton, Dwight,
Woolsey, Ferry street, WEIGH, Cedar and
Grand avenue.
Attractive in grade V are charts from
WEIGH, Cedar and Dwight, illustrating frac-
tional work in colored disks, the problems,
in many cases, being worked with the
disks instead Of figures.
WEIGH chart leads in diversity of color
| design and picture illustration.
This colored disk work is also to be
found, to some extent, in Lloyd, grade V,
and grade " of Welch, Hallock and Quin-
nipiac.
| Equally excellent in workmanship, but
in simple pencil, is the illustrated fraction
al work of Terry and Woolsey charts,
grade V.
Webster chart, grade ~, is a most excel
lent illustration of fractional teaching.
| Four grade charts of WEIGH, Orchard,
| Cedar and Eaton show the neatly illustrat-
ed and helpful picture work gained by the
| teachers in their arithmetical work.
The picture work found on all the charts
is most excellent device used by the
| teachers.
The children must not only grasp in
their minds the picture given by the prob
lem, but place upon paper that picture as
further suggestion and help in the solution
Of the problem.
The grand exhibition will close TO- night
at 9 o'clock, the program for the day being
practically the same as for the preceding
days.
