AN EXCELLENT EXHIBIT.
The exhibit of the work OF the stu
dents OF the school. both graduates and
undergraduates, was. as usual. a feature
OF the occasion. AS n whole, the exhibit
is OF the most important and interesting
yet made by the school, marked pro-
gress being evidenced In more than one
department; and the fact that students
from Boston. New Bedford and other
large cities are among the exhibitors Is
proof of the high reputation which the
school has obtained outside OF Rhode
Island.
Addresses were made by Principal
Eleazer Il. Homer and by Professor Po-
land. president Of the corporation. Both
these speakers commended the school on
the progress that had been made and on
the present prospects for future growth.

OF the faculty and a number OF the In
structors also were in attendance.
WIDE-AWAKE ART SCHOOL.
Before and after the formal exercises
the excellent work OF the pupils was
inspected In the galleries OF the building.
and many were the favorable comments
heard not only on the productions of the
more experienced pupils. but of those
whose term of study had been OF short
duration. There were all the evidences
of progressive and wide-awake art
school.
Principal Homer in his address spoke
of the work OF the school and its aims.
During the past year $50 persons were
enrolled and of this number 152 were
maintained by state scholarships, 13S by
