EXHIBIT VIEWED BY PUPILS

Interest in the collections of casts won by
the Wallach and Hilton schools has re-
suited in the announcement by DR.. E. G..
himball. supervising principal of the third
division, that the informal exhibition of
the casts at the divisional headquarters,
the Wallach, which has been going on for
several days will be continued another
week.
From 3 o'clock until 40, and sometimes
8 O'Clock, every afternoon the pupils from
the Brent Dent. Edmonds, Hilton, Lenox
Maury, Peabody and Towers have filed
into the corridors of the Wallach, where
the collections are tastefully arranged to
examine the treasures.
Miss Annie Beers. principal of the Wal
ZACH, says that of all the pupils who have
visited the collections selecting their ia
vorites and making comparisons of the -,
casts with what they have known before
not once has there been a moments dsor-
der nor Indifference. and not once has the
enthusiasm carried them beyond good form.
They have learned not to lay desecratIng
fingers upon the relief5 and busts and
make no attempt to do so. The spirit of

In the corridors of the school into a group
for The Star photographer. The great
Polyhymnia was too heavy for them to
move, but they hurried about, anxious to
give each piece such a position in the group
that 1t would be well taken and show up
its merits. One preferred the statue OF
Moses and another the bust of Hermes. 1t
was not q question of size with them, some
caring most for the smallest pieces.
Miss Beers said one Of the boys unfortu-
nately became i'll during the contest and
yet so great was his interest that each day
while he was away from the school his
father had to bring his contribution Of
coupons to the building
The Wallach is regarded as sort of East
Washington headquarters. 1t is said to be
to 1.-The HiiP' what the Franklin building is
to the school system in general Besides
that 1t is in way the first modern school
building constructed in the District. In the
order of schools, which are numbered up to
AS given to the new CardoZo building in
South Washington. the Wallach is rated
No. 4. The first three numbers do not APP
pear. as the buildings have been aban-
doned
For these reasons 1t is said to be peculiar
ly fitting that the Wallach came out ahead
of all other grade, buildings in the contest.
Fourteen Schools and kindergarten.
There are fourteen schools in the build
ing and most interesting kindergarten.
One of the unique rooms is one on the Sec
pupils work in drawing. design and color is
exhibited from week to week, it is fur
nished. At the present time it also contains
the divisional work which was exhibited at
the recent centennial exposition at the Bust
ness High School. Exercises are shown in
grammar, composition, geography, drawing,
spelling, business letters, history and civics,
algebra and arithmetic, literature. music,
maps, hygiene, and, among other attractive
features. the much-admred product charts.
The collection has proved of such interest
to pupils and teachers that active efforts are
being made to retain the work part of a
permanent exhibit at the Wallach
The question agitating the successful
school buildings in the recent cast contest is
whether the collections should be distrib-
uted or not among the schools whose eff
forts assisted in the success. Some feel that
the collections should be kept intact, and
others that all should share. The supervis-
ing principals are expected to decide the
question.

Miss Beers writes concerning the casts:
Pupils and teachers of the third division
are still rejoicing over their success in The
Evening Star art contest. The two sets of
casts won by them and credited to the Wal
ZACH and the Hilton schools are temporarily
on exhibition at the division headquarters
the Wallach, where they are viewed daily
and admired greatly by hundreds of chill
dren and their friends.
THE casts are gloriously modelled and
finished. If they are as much appreciated
and as closely studied when permanently
placed as they are now by the pupils during
this informal exhibit the purpose of The
Evening Star in presenting them will in
deed be carried out. Such gift, evidencing
the interest of great newspaper In the
welfare of our schools, cannot fail to be
an incentive of the best kind to the chill
dren, and TO result in the greatest good to
the schools.
Our heartiest thanks to The Evening
Star for its generosity and interest.

about 10 80 Monday morning. when
the accident occurred.
c. d, Morley, one Of the ST.
Louis party, gave tie story 10 a
Courier reporter as follows; "About
9;50 Monday morning our party
secured boats 10 60 out on the lake
TO fish and hunt. am told that we
we're near what is known as blue
Basin" when M del and Mr..
Haynes, his guide, got out Of hailing
distance from US. We could hear
them shooting all the while and paid
little attention 20 them, as We we're
absorbed in our sport. Possibly one
hour elapsed after their shooting
ceased, and ! supposed they had
quit the duck-shooiing and we're
fishing. When We looked for them,
they we're not 10 be found. When
We finally returned 10 the hotel, We
found Mr.. Diel almost unconscious,
chilled and utterly exhausted. OF
course, We learned what had happen
ed. Mr.. Diel says he vas shooting
at a bunch Of ducks but had failed
70 kill any when Mr. Haynes asked
Diel to let him try his hand. Diel
could not see what position Hay les
took when he shot, as he was sitting
with his back 10 him, but thought he
stood erect, judging from the motion
Of the boat. When Hay aes fred,
he tilted the boat 10 such an extent
that she was filled half full Of water.
Haynes realarked, eve will have to
bail this out" and reached for a
bucket which again tilted the boat
in such a manner that Diel grabbed
for his gun TO keep Il from going
overheard. The gun was discharg ed
tearing a hole in the bottom Of the
boat, and at the same time the boat
took enough water 10 cause her 10
sink. Haynes began 10 swim in the
direction Of stump, possibly fifty
feet away, and Dell clung 10 the
boat. When Haynes was last seen
he was within about ten feet Of the
stump, but failed to reach Il.
Haynes called for help until he sank
but Dell was unable 10 swim, having
on hip boots and a lot Of shells
strapped TO him as did also Haynes.
Dell still clung to the boat and
finally drifted near enough 70 the
shore 10 attract the attention Of
rescuers. He was taken to the
hotel and waited upon by DR.. Skanks
Of Martin. Tenn.
The body Of Mr.. Haynes was
recovered in the afternoon Of the
same day. He leaves a young wife
having buried his child about a week
ago. He was a son Of Thos. Hay le,
