A SCHOOL FEATURE.
An Hour at the Children'S
 Bazaar.
A Matter in Which Everybody is
 Interested.

It is not to the credit of the general public of this city, that less than score of people, certainly interested in the public schools, and the school children, have visited the Children's Bazaar, sta blished in the library room of the school building on the plaza. In the first place 1t Is not the part of parents and others interested, to ignore an effort of this kind. In the second place, it is not fair to the boys and girls, not to say the principal, and his corps of teachers, who have taken, time troHble, and an inf n;te degree of patience, to make this display. In the third place, those who do not make the visit, miss very much that would add to their pleasure and profit.
 To be candid, the bazaar display is really remarkable, It Is remarkable in the number of articles, Tn the character of the work by boys and girls, of the ages indicated on the accompanying cards; remarkable in the genius, taste, ingeniousness and versatiiityof talent ex- hibited. Perhaps one of the character sitics is the display of very bright colors, in the manufacture of different articles. There is some explanation of this in the nationality of the names attached. But | tte general effect as the eye runs over the tables and walls, is very pretty and | attractive. Two things may, with all propriety, be suggested. The district ought to provide glass fronted cases along the hall walls, n which to keep this display, making it the nuclens for | permanent public school museum. Another; the young people might be persuaded to turn it over to the Worlds Fair Committee, to be shown at Chicago, That display would prove d very efficient counter-educator to such alleged funny carnations as the Arizona Kicke-," display like this spread out before two CT three million people, giving names, ages, would school, do as much to make sbortive this wild west" talk, and give 8 truthful Idea of our city, as anything that could be sent.
 Below we give list of articles on dis play, but without any invidiOus dis tinction, special note of some of the ar ticles may be made. Oae of the most notable things on the table are two card baskets, made of plaited wheat stalks, one by a boy 13years of age, Cor Delius Elias and the other by Charlie Fully, son Of Principal Fully. Both show rare genius. A young girl has taken half dozen, empty fruit cans, fallen into back alley disuse, except for goat food, and by 8 little ingenuity, good taste and delft finger work, has created lovely foot rest "for mother" There is an old-time frontier wagon by bit of boy. The little fellow got out of paint before he came to the end ;of his task, but he has done splendidly. A napkin ring made of crochet work, and highly colOred, is another genuine surprise. Among the choice things which will attract the attention of ladies. is 8 handkerchief of Spanish work, by Felipe Lopez, present to one of the teachers. A couple of crochet work fruit baskets by BeatrIz Perrin, and Sophie Hughes, are very fine and among the most at tractive things in the bazaar.
 Albert Ziegler displays rare genius and mechanical skill in boy of 13 years
 He exhibits some very excellent scroll saw work; penholders and box. There is variety of the insanity dodge, or crazy quilt work. One of the oddities is a duster, made by Myra Orschmsn, out of inch hempen rope frayed out. Paul inc Webber's hand painted pillow is an exceptionally good piece of work. as is the handkerchief case made by Lizzie Mahoney. A map of Africa by Willie Drake ought to be looked at by every body. It hangs on the wall. Carlos Gomez, is a natural born base ball maker. He makes wages now. covering balls for amateur ballists. Maggie Har- rison is the largest contributor. Some of her work is admirably done; among other things fan, made of cotton bat ting.
 We might write away even on tbis little display till the CITIZEN would have to add to its space, but let us again urge parents, and even hedgehoggy old ba- chelors, to visit the bazaar. Go, to en- courage the children and their teachers. | Even in so small a place as this, boy may catch the inspiration, that will | gather up the tangled threads of his | thoughts and weave them into a definite | action for his future life. A little girl | may discover some helps to something | she IS doing, with pen or pencil or | needle. If neither it will give them | pleasant occupation and recreation. | Now don't say you are busy, or haven't | time, just kick busy aside. kick little | time out of your Calender, schedule | and go to the bazaar. It will pay you | in hundred ways. Above all, parents | go-World's Fair Commissioners go. | Below We append an inventory of the display.
