A RARE EXHIBIT.
Industrial Work OF Barre Pupils ma
Attraction at Teachers Convention.

One OF the most interesting as we'll as
one of the most admired exhibits at the
teachers convention was that or the IN
dustrial work done by the pupils of the
Barre public schools. The exhibit for the
most part represented the results OF
work done outside Of school hours and
therefore a practica! test OF the value OF
art instruction as given in the Barre
schools. 1t included some remarkable
showngs, both from tho practical and
the aesthetic sides in Venetian iron,
tasketry, tile work, fooled brass, wood
carving. stencilins design applied to
needle work and painted decoration.
Barre has no manual training depart
ment in the schools. The aim of the ex-
hioit was to show what could be done
outside OF school. when there is no such
department. by encouraging the children
In their efforts. That the children found
the way to carry out the ideas suggested.
was attested In the unique and original
character of the exhibits. Thus 1t is
hoped to pave the way TO the public APP
probation OF the need of manual train
ing.
This outside work utilzes the instruc-
ton in drawing, develops the mastery OF
ma terials and promotes the spirit OF in
uuStry. AS soon as the puplS pllnS
their work to school and demonstrate
what they have done. they are taught
some new process. Then those bringing
in the best results or showing the most
real thought are again rewarded the
reward being additional instruction and
suggestion in order to make possible
further and better work,
A part of this work by the Barre pupils
will be shown In Burlington again at
the exhibit under the auspices OF tho
Vernon Society OF Handicrafters to be
held November 8, 6 and 7.

Barre schools, under whose guidance
the results as shown at the exhibit, have

ono of the most fascinating OF the many
considered during the convention. She is
a pleasing and enthusiastic speaker and
was closely followed by her hearers as
she dclneated the infinite possibilities Of
adolescence under the training of an alert
teacher.
She said there is nothing moro charm

a boy want to be good. She pleaded that

TEACHERS AND OPTIMISM.
The real treat of the afternoon came
near the close OF the program, when Miss
Margaret Slattery of the F'ltchburg
normal school delivered an address on
"The Teacher az an Opti,nist." Miss
Slattery presented her subject in n man

over two hours &c other speakers, and
followed l.er words with marked atten-

genuine applause at It's close.

DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY

field and the first number on the pro-
gram was a paper on Reading in the
Primary Grades" delivered by Miss
Kate Lamb OF Rutland. who took up the
subject OF reading in the lower grades,
its Importance in connection with the
work that the pupils would take up
later in school life, and the different
methods of producing the best results
in this work, which proves to be one of
the most difficult for tho younger pupils
to master IN an iH'elligent way The
subject was we'll covered by Miss Lamb
and the paper gave the listeners many
new points to carry back to the school
rooms.
Following Miss Lamb a paper was
presented by Mrs. Kate +. Tcrril of
Montpelier, taking up the Importance OF
voice training IN a most interesting and
complete way, explaining the different
tones of the voice. their use in express
sion. and the best results TO be obtained
by proper placing Of such tones. Mrs,
Tcrrill read several poems and sketches
from the school readers, dcmonstra ting
how different results could be effected
by different readings, and the points she
brought to the teachers showed an OK
cellcnt understanding of the subject.
Considering the wide field which the
paper dealt with, and the short time
which was allowed each speaker the
topic was one of the most interesting
of the afternoon. The discussion of this
subject was set aside by the chairman
for want of time.
Another most instructive address fol-
lowed, delivered by Miss Edith Backus
of Brattleboro. on Number Work in
the Primary Grades" explaining novel
methods of teaching numbers In the first
four grades, Miss Backus illustrated her
talk with many cubes, bead frames and
devices used in the lower grades for
making the lessons easy. and at the
same time effective. and gave many ex-
amples of ways of imparting the mys-
terlcs OF addition, subtraction and multi
plication to tho young mind Miss
Backus's talk was interesting through
out, and enabled the teachers to carry
away many notes which can be used to
advantage The discussion of this paper
was taken up by Miss Hayes of Bellows
Falls, who stated that she did not be-

THE IDEAL GEORGIA REMINIS-

When the roster is made up of
those whose pens have paid high
tribute to Georgia, and shed unfad-

we are inclined to think that Lucian
Knight will lead the list.

Recollections through Stevens and

meut with the amplest store Of incl
dent, and the cleaIest illumination Of
Georgia's great periods and Of the
great men who ruled them.
There is not an old man in Georgia
who would not find more charming
than novel or romance this revival
of The scenes and figures of a past
in which they had borne a part. Ii
Reminiscence is Il torch to youth it is
delight to age, and around many a
winter freside these rare sketches and
comments would furnish the material
for an evening of intellectual and So
cial charm.
There is not literary man in Geor-
gia Or elsewhere who can afford to
leave this brilliant work out of his IL
brary, for in no other and similar
book that we have ever read is there
as much to charm the ear, and delight
the taste and quicken the magma
tion.
Beyond all this Georgia owes to
her brilliant son who, in broken
health, has written in exile this no.
bic and beautiful tlibute-the full
and generous need Of practical and
substantial appreciation Of the GAL
liant service he has rendered TO the
commonwealth and to history.
Out yonder on the far Pacific coast,
'islanded In an Avalon as sweet as
Arthur's knights Of chivalric men,
ory, he has wrought with a sweetness,
patience and courtesy that stamps
him one of them-and not less one
of ours.
Let us send to Lucian Knight-our
Galahad of Literature-in his far
Avalon the assurance that we appre-
ciato the beautiful chapters with
which he has garlanded Georgia for
her noble place in history.
Let us send him in a thousand sub
scriptions to his first volume of Rem
iniscence, Georgia. s thanks for what
he has already done, and Georgia's
generous inspiration for what he has
yet to do.-The Georgian.
