WORK WrlCCen exercises were dis
played in the library and class
rooms. The English papers
covered the work of the four
year course; the stenography
and typewriting exercises were
admirably arranged, showing at
glance the progress of stu
dents through the two year
course. In geography, history
and mathematics the display
was likewise interesting and in
structive.
The exhibit of the classes in
freehand drawing was highly at
tractive. This work has been in
charge OF Miss Emily Huger, a
graduate of the Sophie New
comb Art School, and has proved
eminently successful at the in
Stitute. One of her main pur-
poses in the work has been the
cultivation of originality among
the students. To this end she
has required original exercises
IN designs for wall paper, tiles,
book covers, etc. Some of the
most artistic of these were made
at the final examinations. The
book covers display a most in
teresting variety of color and
outline. In this work the stu
dent has been required to read
the book and then work out the
design; and only a close examin-
alton OF the exercises can reveal
now creditably the students
have done. Among these de-
signs for book covers, the fol-
lowing should be mentioned:
On the Red Mans Trail
which has an artistic display of |
Indian implements and weapons:
A Rainbow of Gold.' among the
mountains with the prettiest
sky for background; I'm MY
Lady'S Garden" among flowers
and beautiful pathways, and
Songs of the Night,' the melo-
dies of the black cat and his
friends.
A special feature of the art
work has been it's correlation
with the work in manual train
ing and domestic science. The
young ladies have been required
to prepare original designs for
table covers, doylies, EN- broide- {
ries and other artistic produc- ,
tons of the sewing room, and {
these when approved have been {
worked out by the same stu t
dents in the sewing classes. In l
The same way, freehand designs 5
tor wrought iron work were sub G
nltted by the young men. and 5
the articles were
made IN the forgesbop. These i
include designs of door gratings, a
ire irons and stands, and iron q
ables. :, :,
Another interesting feature of a
he work in art is the manner in Il
which one art idea is developed n
nd adapted to suit different !,
ondltlonS. The value of this f,
in art education has e
ot always been discerned. It O
7ads to breadth of view and an ir
in design that must ir
e highly valuable to the stu 81
ent. AS an illustration of this al
rlnclple, taken from the art ex-
hit, the dandelion was worked m
Ito a conventional outline which +,
as then applied as the basis of o.
'aupapers, book covers, tiles tr
nd EN- broidery and other de- tn
gins for the sewing school, all
which was done by one stu dc
emit. 10
The exhibit of the manual tn
aiming department was made It
the building devoted to that bC
ork. This department now SO
IN prises instruction in wood dc
ork and in iron. The equip in
ent for the former consists of to
hfteen-horse power engine, six tn
