 WORLDS FAIR NOTES. Connecticut schools-OutlIne of Their Exhibits as shown at the Fair-The Worlds Congress Auxiliary-Our State Building-Some Connecticut Manufacturing Exhibits.
 The Connecticut school exhibit at the worlds fair aims at liberal display of plans and methods rather than an exhibi ton of actual work. 8. R. Willard of Colchester, who takes charge of the dis play, has utilized every portion of the 300 square feet assigned him by the eommis- sion.
 The space given to the Nutmeg state is in section K, post 6, in the gallery of the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts building. MT. Willard has divided his space into five rooms, which contain specimens of pupils work, principally from the large cities of the state-Hartford, New Haven, Bride port, Bristol, Waterbury, Willimantic, New Britain, Middletown, Stamford, Nor wich, Torrington. Ssybrook and Colohes- ter. No other but public schools are rep resented in the exhibit, with the single ex- ception of the Industrial Institution at Middletown, which has succeeded in hay | ing shown specimen of scholars sewing work.
 The training schools occupy the first room. The Willimantio Normal school has on exhibition plans for work in history, civil government and science lessons in | TIou At1au NoI l showing in geometery for elementary and ! grammar grades, and mathematics.
