BIRMINGHAM OR CHICAGO
Will Garry Off the Prize for the
School Exhibit.
THIS MUCH HAS LEAKED OUT
And the Two Cities Are Anxiously Awaiting the
Decision of the Judges at the
Exposition.

The exhibit of the Birmingham public
schools at the Atlanta exposition is adj
mittedly one of the most complete school
exhibits ever made in the south. Not
withstanding the fact that the past year
was by far the most trying in the history
of the schools the work exhibited at
the Cotton States exposition speaks vol
umes for the excellence of Birmingham's
school system and the superior corps of
principals and teachers that have super
vised its preparation. For reasons that
need not now be given, 1t was not decided
whether the Birmingham schools should
be represented at the exposition until
about the middle of April, and the schools
closed about the middle of May. The
time thus given for special preparation
was brief. But 1t is gratifying to know
that the exhibit has been most favorably
noticed by educational experts. The
commissioners on awards have not yet
made their report, but the fact has leaked
out that birmingham holds an excellent
chance for the first place on the list of
exhibits. On Saturday last the committee
had agreed upon Birmingham and Chi
cago as leaders and competitors for the
award. The final decision may not be
made for several days. Many of the lead
Ing cities of the United States have ex-
hibits at Atlanta, but Birmingham has
OutclaSSed them all, with the possible eX-
ception of Chicago.
The Birmingham school exhibit is locat-
ed partly in the Alabama building and
partly in the model school building
where 1t may be compared with the ex-
hibits of the schools of Atlanta, Cincin-
natl, Charlotte and ether cities. The
majority of the exhibits, however, are
In the liberal arts building. These ex-
hibttS consist of the work of the schools
In the various branches so far as it can
be represented on paper-maps, charts,
drawings exercise books, examination
papers, etc.
The peculiar characteristic of the Bir-
mingham exhibit is the unity and con-
tinuity of the work. illustrating the
methods of the schools and demonstrate
ing the educational value of the processes
employed. The drawings, for instance.
are not isolated specimens, which have
been set as so many tasks, but consti-
tute a series organioally connected and
designed to illustrate practically other
branches of work. In botany, the natural
plant is given, root. stem, flower and
fruit, then follows drawing of the plant
and all its parts; next to this will be
found the drawing of the plant conven-
tionalized, followed by original designs
based on the same unit, and practically
applied to the same arts. The educative
value of this principle and it's applications
impressed the committee most favorably
and elected warm praise for Birmingham
