Last Friday afternoon marked a new
era in the progress of our public schools
and gave an opportunity to the friends
and patrons of our educational system to
see what our teachers and pupils are
worth. The exhibit was worthy OF the
highest praise and no one could help but
realize that 1t took not little planning
and great deal of labor to arrange it
so nicely. Each pupil decorated his own
desk as pleased his fancy and quantities

won the appreciation of all and we doubt

raise the standard of work in our schools
and give our teachers and pupils hlghe,
ideal to strive for.
