The exhibit given on Friday and Sat.
urday by the schools of Crawford coun.
" was success in every particular.
contributions of work came from many
schools outside OF Denison showing
That the interest in this annual exhibit
is becoming more and more general.
The Manila teachers were given a
holiday on Friday and they came over
IN body. The schools of West Side,
LOW City and Manila have promised
q more extended exhibits for next year.
Inc exhibits consisted of work in arith-
mellc. language, penmanship, map
drawing, orations, essays, herbarlums,
bookkeeping, Industrial work for boys
and girls, which was made a special
| feature, kindergarten and many other
exhibits. The work OF the pupils show
A ed great deal of ability and reflected
4 credit upon the schools of Denison and
OF the county. The exhibits were en-
tered by numbers and were carefully
and lmpartially judged. Supt. Hersom
of Manila judged all exhibits save
those of the grammar grade which we're
passed upon by Prof Ross Masters.
Mrs. K. A. Romans and Mrs. w. j..
Server judged the girls Industrial
work. The list Of the prize winners is
given below.
Aside from these school exhibits
there were industrial displays by a
number of Denison merchants, Orkin
Bros. had handsome display in the
gallery, as did Mr.. Theo. Farak of his
upholstering goods. On the ground
floor were 6ne'art exhibits 10y Mrs. j.
L. Ainsworth and Mrs. M. E. VAIL.
These paintings were of high order and
showed real artistic merit. Among
the other displays were those OF q. M.
Campbell, j. l.. Warbasse, Haugh &
Kemming and Drybread & Co. and
THE Boys';; these displays were of
more than ordinary merit, that OF
The Boys" being especially artistic.
Friday evening was devoted to the
graded schools, and the work done was
q surprise to all. The singing was fine
and fully justifies the wisdom of in
PRODUCING the study of music into
our schools. The declamations were
not delivered in the sing song way but
witha real understanding OF the sub.
ject. Johnnie Raspen with bis whistle
and dram was perhaps the star OF the
evening. The program has ,besn pub,
lished in full in former issues.
Saturday evening there was given a
sacred cantata 1.-The Seasons under
the direction of Prof. F. W., Eastman.
The chorus Of sixty voices did splendid
Fly especially toward the climax which
was sung with vigor and precision
worthy of professionals. The solos BY
Mrs. j. N. Bradley and Prof Eastman,
their duets and a trio in which Mrs. G.
|fht Voss'j Joined We're ,.fpesand the audi.
ence waxed enthusiastic.oyer the great
fworkeiof the Denison artists. The
evening was distinct triumph for
Prof; Eastman and his work in the
schools.
After the programs the pretty high
school girls served coffee and a light
lunch, the proceeds being Loyalty de-
voted to helping the foot ball team out
of debt. This is not the first time in
history that the ladies have rescued the
sterner sex from financial disaster and
the high school girls have made GOOD
start. The proceeds were more than
sufficient for the purpose in this in
stance. The crowded houses which
greeted each evenings program testities
to what deep interest our people take
in the public schools and their welfare
and as long as this interest continues
there is no danger of retrogression.
The most interesting features of the
exhibit were the Philippine collections
loaned by Prof. j. r. Bagge and W. C..
Cramer. These collections gathered BY
the boys while fighting for Uncle Sam
included wide range of subjects,
United States and Philippine side arms,
cartridges and bullets, beautiful shells,
samples of the flora of the country,
photographs from Manila and Japan,
dainty bits of handicraft, shawls, fans
and a hundred other curios of novelty
to Americans. The management is
very grateful to the boys for their
valuable contribution to the interest of
the exposition. Financially the affair
was as successful as it was from every
other standpoint.
