OUT AND ABOUT.

The exhibition of drawing classes at
the high schools was opened to the
public yesterday morning in the Eng
lish school building, and the large
number of visitors testified to the in
terest taken in this department of the
school work. Mr. Stone was present
most of the day, and explained the
work to the visitors, assisted by sew
eral members of the senior class in
drawing.
The work, especially that of the third
and fourth year pupils, shows degree
of excellence not often found in pub
lie schools and Mr.. Stone is very proud
of the advance which the embryo art
lists have made The book cover de-
signs done by the fourth-year pupils
and the wall paper and radial designs
of the second and third-year attracted
marked attention.
The exhibition will be open today
and tomorrow from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m,
and either Mr.. Stone or one of the Sc
nior class will be on hand to explain
things.
