BENEFIT FOR HIGH
SCHOOL LIBRARY
Fine Exhibit OF Hish-class Pic
lures to be Shown Proceeds
for Library Fund.

Much interest is being aroused N
the Horace K. Turner Art Exhibit, to
be given January 24th-27th for the
benefit of the school library. This
exhibit will be held in the High
School which is now being wired for
electric lighting.
Press reports from the various
places at which this exhibit has been
held speak Of it in the highest terms
and as far surprising expectations.
The exhibit was held two years ago at
the former home Of one of our
teachers. She reports that it was a
success in every respect and though
the town was much smaller than
Grants Pass, yet the schools of that
place cleared over 500 for library
purposes besides buying pictures for
school decorations. In that particular
town, McCook, Nebraska, the exhibit
was held in hall having a capacity
of $50 and was crowded each evening
and afternoon. Even though attract
i've programs we're prepared and given,
yet the people were so taken with
the exhibit as to return evening after
evening to study the paintings rather
than for the programs, and notwith-
standing the fact that there were no
season tickets issued. In connect.
ion with the exhibit on Wednesday,
January Gath, a musical porgram will
be given by high school students in
charge of Principal A. E. Harrison.
On Thursday evening, 25th, literary
program in charge of Miss Walker
will be rendered. A musical program
by some of the best talent in Grants
Pass will be given in connection
with this exhibit on Friday evening,
26th. On Saturday afternoon, 27th
a display of school work will be
given. The basis of this display is
the W, rk our schools prepared for the
Lewis and CLARK fair, which, how
ever was not sent to Portland by
reason Of lack of funds to install the
exhibit Miss Tufts is chairman of
the committee on arrangements and
program for the Saturday afternoon
exhibit. Miss Agnew is chairman of
on program for Saturday
evening at which time a program will
be given by pupils of grammar and
primary grades
An admission of 10 cents for pupils
and % cents for adults will be
charged. Season tickets will also be
,old at % cents for pupils and 80 cents
'or adults.
