Omaha Fair.
1T WILL BE A WORTHY ONE
Work of High Merit-Bound to At
tract Attention-Art and Indus
trial Features of Display.

There will be on exhibit today at the
Educational offices in the Judiciary
building, a fine and most unique col
lection which is to be shown at the
mississippi and international
Exposition in Omaha this summer. No
thing has ever been sent abroad to
compare with it.
All the principal schools and col
Ieges have contributed their part
From Oahu College is shown some
excellent specimens of mechanical
drawing executed by members of Pro
fessor Colsten's class. The main
buildings and grounds have been
beautifully sketched and framed. The
Punahou Preparatory pupils have sent
in writing and drawing specimens.
Their work in flowers and fruits, done
in ink, is splendid.
Professor Richards has confined the
exhibits of the Kamehameha schools,
to Photographic views Of the buildings
and grounds. Several group pictures
of the students are also included. The
work is that of Frank Davey. ViggO
Jacobsen has added considerable pen
work to the display.
St Louis College students Will make
a strike with their relief maps One
of MolOkai, made from the recent Gov
eminent survey, is particularly inter
esting in that it shows clearly the set
tement location. Pen work, drawings
and Photographic views, are also at
tractive. Brother Bertram has reason
to proud of his students, for their
work won medals at both the Paris
and Chicago fairs.
Armstrong Smiths Fort Street
school is we'll represented. The boys
have executed some skillful pocket
knife work while the girls have pre-
pared neat and interesting books con-
tanning their observations of the Wal
amaze country. The map work from this
school is very pleasing to the Board.
This includes product maps of these
Islands. America and other countries
Also maps of CUbs, Philippine Islands
and Asia. An Island map, by a Chi
nese student is almost perfection.
The Waianae school children have
sent in a big exhibit. The most in
teresting is a bank of Island ferns
and an illustrated description of Ho-
nolulu, its public buildings, business
houses, residents, hotels, place OF
amusement, public men, etc.
Miss Shows school for Chinese
girls has done some neat sewing and
work. The POhukaina
school, of which Miss Duncan is prin-
cipal, and the Misses Atkinson and
King are assistants, has considerable
writing, drawing and sewing on eX-
hfbit
Probably the most pleasing display
to the foreigners eye will be the hand
work of the girls of the NakawaO
Seminary on Maui The exhibit is
made up of all kinds of useful articles
made by these Hawaiian girls includ-
ing native straw hats, she'll hat bands
and necklaces. koa, napkin rings and
bracelets, flowers made out of pump
kin vines. baskets, and other articles
made of native stTaWs, lacewOrk and
sewing. There are also some writing
and drawing specimens.
Other schools have made creditable
exhibits. The Educational classes OF
the Y. NJ G A. has made showing.
Photographer J. J. Williams has TAX
en- pictures of several groups of school
children, among them being a group
of all nationalities taken at the Fort
Street school. Large and beautiful
views of the several colleges, the High
School, the various city school build
ings as we'll as the buildings on the
other Islands, are being arranged by
Mr. Williams
There is some literature to accom-
pany the exhibits for the benefit of
the delegates who will attend the an
nual meeting of the National Educa-
tfonaI Association in Omaha this sum-
mer.
There need be no fear but that this
exhibit will more than convince the
intending emigrant at Omaha, that
Hawaii offers excellent school advan-
tages for her children.
