TURNER ART EXHIBIT.

TURNER ANT EAHlBlI. Beautiful Treat in Store for Those
 Who Admire Paintings.
 Apropos of the Turner art exhibit which is to be seen at the Webster school the last four evenings of this week, Prof Madigan, principal of the school, speaks as follows of the com ing entertainment:
 The board of education and the city government have been generous in providing educational facilities for this remarkable growing section. Our school building, when complete, will represent an expenditure of more than $S0,000. It is 225 feet long by so feet wide and practically three stories in height. It contains 20 class rooms, principals office. a teachers room, a large assembly room GA feet by 36 feet, spacious playrooms and by May will have library room 50 feet by 12 feet.
 Telephones and electric clocks in all class rooms, program clocks, fire gongs, etc, and a school garden of 10000 square feet, make it equal in modern equipment to any grammar school in the state.
 Now. while the city has given us this magnificent modern building and necessary equipments, there is no provision for adornment. We need about $1.000 for appropriate decora- tion. It may take some time to raise that amount, but we are going to do it.
 For beginning we have secured the loan of the Horace K. Turner art exhibit which comprises several thou sand dollars worth of copies of world famous pictures. These pictures will be placed on exhibition in our school building Wednesday, Thursday. Fri day and Saturday evenings, Febru- ary 27, 2S and March 1 and 2. The picture exhibit alone is much more than worth the admission price for the four evenings. Besides creating a fund for our school, it will afford an excellent opportunity for graduat- ing classes and many other interested people of our city to examine this grand exhibit at minimum cost.
 .'In connection with the exhibit a pleasing entertainment will be given every evening by the pupils of the school. The teachers are working very hard to make the entertainment success and the children are dis playing remarkable enthusiasm in selling tickets and rehearsing their part in the coming event. A wee bazaar will be held for the entire four nights where contributed arti- cles and articles made by the pupils will be for sale.
 "A light lunch of tea, coffee, cake ice cream. etc. will be feature. and we solicit the Kind offices of the good matrons of the district for contribu tions in this line. Contributions large or small will be gratefully accepted We invite the hearty, moral and financial cooperation of the parents patrons and business men of our sec tion and of the public spirited in gen eral.
 The success of the exhibit and tht encouragement of worthy cause may be secured:
 By the attendance Of our citizens thereby creating fund to be ex pended by the school of pictures The admission fee is trifiing for sucf a famous art exhibit.

If thes, pictures should be ordered througf us we would secure the benefit of 1 commission to be added to the funt as above. Many societies and bust ness firms in the cities are shovint their interest in the schools by thii method. and many individuals hay' contributed to such funds for tn' purpose of founding a memorial t a child or relative who was at on' time interested in the schools
