Grinnell, March GA. b. Mack,
who was taken with an attack OF
grippe in January last, has never re-
covered strength sufficient to attend to
business. and has developed other
troubles that seem quite serious tho
nothing that may not be overcome un-
less his age and many years OF hafd
labor should have left too little con-
stitution to build upon.
Rev. Z. o. Douglass spent yesterday
In Humboldt, where he occupied the

35 years of age, and had been married

ed at the funeral services.
The rooms of the old high school
building were crowded on Friday even
ing and there was q good attendance
on Saturday both forenoon and after
noon to see the exhibit made by the
pupils of the various grades and the
high school arranged there for conven-
lent examination. The exhibit itself
and the systematic and artistic ar
rangement of it speak we'll for the
good taste and the patience of the
teachers as we'll as for their teaching
ability. And it was a genuine surprise
to many patron Of the school and
was a good lesson to- those who hab-
itually grumble at the amount they
are called upon to pay school taxes.
There were excellent samples Of bread,
cakes and candies made by cooks of
quite tender age. Fine specimens of
sewing, weaving, free hand drawing
from nature, designs for wall paper,
water color painting, woodworking,
building of dwellings, of both civilized
and uncivilized types and other unique
too numerous to mention,
We're neatly arranged on walls and
tables for inspection. In one case a
farm wagon complete in all details
was made by a boy of twelve years
of age with no other tools than a knife
and hammer. A girl of ten showed
piece of we'll woven rag carpet Eoven
by herself upon a loom of her own
Mechanical toys in
great variety, made by young children,
and windmills and other farm con-
veniences, were on exhibition and tes-
tify to the mechanical ingenuity of the
men and women soon to be. This work
is all the more surprising to many
people when they remember that Grin
nell schools have as yet no separate
department of manual training or do
nestle science This exhibit will re-
main in place for the benefit of rural
and other out of town teachers who
may wish to examine it during the
week of the teachers institute begin
aing on Monday next. The money talk
IN in from the sale of admission tick
cts will be used to add to the numer-
BUS fine pictures that already adorn
The walls of the school buildings.
