from 2 to 8 o'clock this afternoon there
was an exhibition Of the work o; the
pupils of Doyle avenue school in draw
ing and the large number OF persons
who visited. It were well pleased with
the work OF the pupils. One of the best
things about the exhibit Is that il was
one In which the work shown was not
made for the occasion, but was an hon.
est display of drawings, made by the
young people from tine to time during
the year. In one way the. scholars of this
school have an advantage over those of
some sections OF the city for they are
near great natural garden and that they
have taken advantage OF the circum-
stance Is shown by the variety Of the
drawings from nature. Many OF the
pupils are greatly Interested in this de-
partment and there Is always generous
supply of wild flowers OF almost all kinds
that grow i'm this climate on hand when
any of the teachers call for them.
That their heart Is in their work is
shown by the marked improvement made
from the work OF one grade to that of
another, and even the youngest child in
the school had some very creditaple work
on OK hi pition.
The teachers of the school this after
noon exhibited tho work OF their pupils
with considerable commendable and heH-
est pride.

fifth and sixth grades ana the first
