Manual Training Experiment
Planned For Branner School.
Superintendent Davidson Asks
Help of Women.
BEFORE FEDERATION.
Active Club Workers Are Now
Considering the Proposition.
Branner is Particularly Adapted
For the Experiment.

1t is possible that the City Federation
of Clubs may take hold of the matter
of the elementary work of manual
training in the ward schools and estab-
1ish a manual training department at
Branner school
The Federation did excellent work
during the past two years in securing
decorations for the school rooms
throughout the city. The Federation
donated many pictures and works of
art and Induced other organizations
and persons to contribute. The result
has been that the once bare school
room walls are now frightened by pic
lures and ornaments. The work of in
terror decorations has been so thor
oughly established that the Federation
can now turn its attention to some 9TH
er line.
superintendent William Davidson, of
the city schools, was asked to suggest
what the Federation might do for the
betterment of the school system and he
suggested that the Fedora ton might
start the manual training work. Bran
ner school has rooms in the basement
especially planned and adapted to man
ual training such as drawing, carpenter
work and clay modelling.
The question of establishing a man
ual training department at Branner
school an experiment was brought
before the board of education last win

uaI training could not be made a fea-
ture of the work at all the schools that
1t would be showing Partially to in
augurate the system at one school and
the board voted not to try the expert
ment.
Mr.. Davidson estimates the cost at
$500. He says that a teacher could be
assigned to the work so that the origi-
would be preliminary to the larger

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
AND THE
Pan-American ExD0sitiOn.

In none of the new Industries of the
last decade has there been greater pro.
gress than IN the art of preparing and
managing great expositions. It was
often said after the Worlds Fair closed
its gates that this country would not
see its equal in fifty years. That pre-
diction will be disproved in the present
year of 1901; for in all but the space &C.
cupied, the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will excel the great show of
1888. This means that more can be
seen in the same length of time at the
Pan American, with less of the fatigue
and WEAKNESS that was unavoidable at
the Worlds Fair. The exhibits will be
as varid, interesting and instructive as
it is possible to make them; and in the
matter of entertainment features, the
Buffalo show will surpass all former OK.
positions.
An artistic booklet, of sixteen pages,
beautifully illustrated, and giving q
concise description of what this great
exposition is to be, will be mailed free
on application to the undersigned.
The Illinois Central is prepared to
handle very large business to Buffalo
this season, and is in position to offer
unsurpassed service to the Exposition
City. The excursion rates have not
been announced as yet, but SO soon as
they are, all those who have sent for
copy of the Exposition Booklet will be
promptly notified.
