BLOOMER GIRLS
SHOWED FINELY
CoIburn Gymnasium Pupils Displayed Remarkable
Cleverness and Superior Drilling in Entertaining
Annhal Exhibition Given Last Evening at
Infantry Hall

The bloomer girls held sway at In

wonderment.
II was the annual gymnastic dis
play OF the Colburn Gymnasium girls,
nearly $50 I'm all, under TIE direction
OF Miss Lila Belle Colburn. a graduate
OF the Sargent Normal school OF Physi-
cal Education.
The exhibition was one OF the finest
demonstrations OF modern gymnastics
ever witnessed in this city and re-
flected much praise upon Miss Colburn
as a successful instructor.
Variety was evidently considered in
arranging the program, which was Of

appeared ia successive numbers re-
quiring radical changes Of costumes
The AFFAIR opened with a march
which included pupils Of all classes
and was led by two little tots. II
was followed by free hand calisthenics

then combination drill by the wom-
ems classes was given, This was a
ment Wands, dumbbells and Indian
-clubs were used simultaneously, max
ing IL really three drills. The inner
row OF women manipulated the clubs
and the outer rows alternated with
wands or dumbbells.
The successful high jumpers at the
Olympian games couldn't experience
any more elation than did the girls
who managed 10 clear the height OF
four feet, which was gradually
reached in the next event In which
the children participated
one little boy was so mortified at
his failure In the trials that he ran
with fearful face to his mother. The
event stirred up a lot OF enthusiasm

There were two other competitive
events on tho program which resulted

some lively team work. The leaders
OF each row started the game by roll
ing big balls down through the lines.

Some OF those Republicans who left in

organize the party in that city so that all

either relegated entirely 10 oblivion or be

Perspective is difficulty which for
some time will have to be avoided in
stead of being explained. No partial ex-
PLANTATION would be of use, and the cop
ing with it's broader understanding
would be a restraint which would spoil
much of the free child-like expression of
the work. For this reason the forms SO
far chosen have been those least affected
by perspective, or that quality has been
brayely disregarded. Such rounds as
trees, apples, houses viewed at right
angles, do not suffer from that disregard,
but when the interior Of a room is to be
drawn it is more difficult to show the diff
ferent planes and not call perspective to
aid. At the ordinary point of view the
tops of tables, chairs, etc., as we'll as
their side planes are seen. The teacher
who has the ingenuity to steer clear Of
these problems and their explanation is
saving much for himself and the child

a lid on hinges so the hens and nests
can be gotten at.
Boards are fastened two or three
inches from the ground and faced at
the front with a narrow strip to hold
straw in place and prevent the eggs
from rolling out. This keeps the nest
dry also, and when the whole crate is
moved about for sanitary reasons, the
nest is not disturbed, says the Orange
Judd Farmer. The lid should be COW
cred with tarred PAPER SO as to make
it water proof, for the lid, being con-
structed of several boards, would have
cracks large enough in it to let con-
siderable water in during a storm.
When it rains it would be we'll to have
an old piece of canvas ready to throw

That the human interest of the picture
is reserved for a more advanced step in
these lessons cit will be taken up in the
next articlel is because of the compare
tive completely of the forms, which can
be more readily grouped after the child

OF expression. The figure of the wind

The figure of a man. but its use is easier
from its following other forms under the
