 There was surprise party awaiting the people who visited the exhibit of the Ketchikan public schools yester- day afternoon and last evening. The surprise was so pronounced that most of US haven't quit talking about it yet.
 Beginning with the little tots of six and seven years, to the pupils of the high school there is gradation of constantly increasing talent shown in their work that is truly out of the ordinary.
 Under the tutelage of Miss Rossiter the primary pupils are given instruc- tion in the rudiments of learning and are taught to make use of their play spirit by cutting paper and weaving mats. From there they go to Mrs. Taylor who continues their teaching along the customary lines of the three R's and introduces them to clay model ing, raffia work, water cooring design ing etc.
 They are becoming older and larger now and Miss Van Houten teaches them more advanced branches of gen. eral learning and instructs them in painting, map drawing, sketching etc.
 Professor Grimm has general sup ervision and gives the pupils fine course in manual training.
 There is no line of demarcation showing where one department leaves off and another begins, they all fit to- gether like cogs in the meshes of a wheel and under the present condi- tions the machinery of learning seems to move along without friction or lost motion.
 This selfsame exhibit is to be taken to the A. Y. F. Exposition and put on display and we want to say that when the citizens of Ketchikan visit that big fair this summer, they are going to taKe their friends around to that exhibit and right there they are go- ing to swell up with pride when they point it out as the work of our kids.
