Free Kindergarten Exhihit.

On the wall Of the north end of the corri-
dor at the High School arts and crafts ex-
hibit can be seen the exhibit from the free
kindergartens. 1t consists of color work,
free painting, drawing and free cutting by
the children. There are several pieces by a
boy from the colored kindergarten. This
child has unusual talent. He sees form all
most accurately, and can cut the detailed
outlines of moving objects. The color work
is the result of lessons in color discrmina-
ton and harmony.
The Kindergarten Normal School exhibit
is study in color harmony and ornament
The drawing is from the object and from
nature. This exhibit is justly attracting a
large share of attention. The work from
the kindergarten Normal School is truly
artistic, and the free kindergarten showing
is gratifying to all who understand the ex-
cellent work that is being done among the
little children of Indianapolis.
The arts and crafts exhibit is open day
and evening during this week. Admission,
10 cents.
