Rev. A. A. Callaghan, superintendent of
schools, conducted Saturday under the
auspices of Wayne Grange, a fine ex-
hibition of the public schols of the town
during the past year. The Grange has
always kept in close touch with the
children and with the educational in
terests of the town and observed edu-
cational pay this year by this new and
interesting departure.
Early in the year Supi Callaghan
offered a prize to the schol: making the

making, and sewing always with the
educational value of this work in view
Nature work has been encouraged not
only along lines of botanical study but
of practical work in growing corn and
vegetables. Prizes offered by Supt.
Callaghan brought forth gratifying re-
suits. There are four schools in town,
Frances Willard school, Mrs. Jennie NJ.
Johnson, teacher; Longfellow, Miss
Louise Sumner. teacher; Jefferson.
Mrs. Alice Fales. and North Wayne,
Miss Ona Knapp, teacher.
Every foot of available space in

of writing, composition work, drawing.
may drawing, arithmetic, illustrated
language work, nature work, and all
lines of work carried on in the schools.
On the tables were displayed beauti-
full specimens of basketry. clay model
ing, carpentry work, paper-box work,
etc. Much interest was manifested in
models of the split log drag" so wide
ly advocated at present for good road
making.

That the schools of Wayne have
made great progress during the year
is a self-evident fact and the motto
on the school question will be without
doubt mo backward steps" Much
credit is due Supt. Callaghan. who has
