PASADENA, June 19.-It seemed as !
the entire town turned out today to in
spect the working of Throop Polytechnic
institute. From 10 a. m. 10 p. m. tn,
buildings were thrown open to the pub
lie and throng of people were con
stsntly passing through them. From II
to the various departments of manua
training were in full operation and tn,
visitors were given good opportunity
to see the working OF q system which
promises to become the system Of the
future.
President Keyes was kept busy the en-.
tire day receiving the visitors, while the
corps of instructors did all possible te
explain the working OF the institution,
ably seconded by the students.
In the east hall were located the clay
modelling and free hand drawing depart
ments, under the direction of Miss
Allin. The specimens here exhibited,
from original designs, were very good.
The type writing and stenography de-
partment, in charge of Miss Morse, slso
showed some remarkable exhibits.
Some of the type writing work was of a
high grade. One of the best exhibits
was the display of water colore, in the
water color and sketehing department,
in which some splendid work in water
colors and charcoal was shown. Mise
Ney is the instructor OF this branch.
Perhaps the most interesting depart
msnt to visitors in East hall was the
biological laboratory in charge of Prof.
McClatchie. The students were actively
of unrH in in a VI q finn Tho
manner OF operating the camera lucida
was fully explained, proving very inter-
esting.
1t was, however, in machinery hall
that most OF the interest centsred, for
here were located the manual training
departments, which are the distinctive
features of the school. Students were
at work in all the departments, from the
blacksmith shop to the kitchen, while
the various products of their hands dur
ing the past year were on exhibit it on
every side. The wood and iron workers
department, under Mr.. Parker's direc-
ton, attracted much attention, as did
the woud carving work in charge Of Miss
Allis. The advance made by the
students in this line during the past
year, as shown by their production, was
and sewing department, as well as the
cooking, under direction of Miss Camp
bell, was especially attractive to the
ladies and not few gentlemen.
The annual concert given IN East hall
in the evening was very largely attended
and proved a complete success. The
programme which appeared in this
mornings HERALD was carried out in
f,,lI to ha 81 IS Ia a,It-
ence. The attendance at Throop dur
ing the past year reached the 240 notch,
and will without doubt overtop 300 dur

ment of President Keyes has had not q
little to do with it's success.
