| SCHOOL DISPLAY.
Probably there is no portion of the
Exhibition Hall which attracts more
genuine, critical attention than the
very limited space allotted to the
Public Schools of the county. Parents
and children alike seem to love to
linger around and examine the deft
work of the pupils and the display
this year has never been excelled.
All the principal schools are repre-
| sented and much OF the finest work
shown bears the label OF some remote
district school, "far removed from the
giddy throng." The work of the
home school. (Bel Air deserves far
more than passing notice, as it shows
in remarkable degree the variety of
branches of knowledge which are
taught in the public schools of the
period. Drawings by Grace Reckord
and Margaret Ball outline sketches by
Blanche Baldwin and Fannie Bissell,
a collection of leaves classified by
Walter Young; an chronological dis
play by Preston Calder; a clock face
deftly made of seeds, by Elizabeth
Hopkins and many other articles are
really notable. The work of the
Havre de Grace scholars; drawings by
the Darlington pupils, especially draw
