West Florida Fair, was the exhibit of
the Chipley High and Graded Schools.
Notwithstanding only four days of
actual work were given to the prepare
ton of the exhibit. the interest shown
In II and the favorable comment there
on would lead one to believe that sue
cess crowned the efforts of those who
gave their time and energy in getting
it up.
Special mention should be made of
the free-hand maps from the 9TH and
9Th grades. The maps of Florida by
Alta Davis, Chipley Tharp, Roland
williams and Annie Newton, revealed
a great deal of talent in these young
artists.
The Physiologicald drawings by the
9th grade in pen and ink, demonstrate
ed the possibilities of carryingon draw
ing hand in hand with this study;
drawing means clearer and more
intimate knowledge of any subject.
Ursula Hinson, Esther Jones Irma Lee
Williams, Alex Hinson and Grady
Mercer showed the greatest skill in
this exhibit.
The 9th grade did excellent work in
the preparation oftheir historical draw
ings, taking prehistoric England and
England in the time of Julius Caesar,
as their subjects. This grade also
furnished an exhibit in Arithmetic
that attracted great deal of attention.
The subjects of P1astering and Kalso-
mining were treated with large draw
ings to illustrate Perhaps Brodie Nc
Cormic and Pascha1 Rocks attained
greatest excellence in this work.
The 10th grades best exhibit was
outlines in English history on large
sheets; though their work in Algebra
and Bookkeeping reflected great cred
1t upon them and showed great care on
their part and careful training on the
part of their teacher.
The 18th and 18th grades were rep
resented by oriainal work in English,
Geometry and Latin. The papers of
Bertha Daniel and Nella Wells being
prticularly good in Geometry. Alex
Campbell furnished a Latin paper
consisting of an inter-lines and free
translation of Chapter 9. Book II, Gaze
sar's Gallo War.
On the right as you entered the ex-
hibit one was naturally attracted to
the work of the End grade. This work
was In many respects different from
that of the other grades. 1t consisted
of artistic calanders, needle work,
crayon drawings and paper folding;
besides, number work and language
work. This is the only grade that
competed for prizes; there being no 9TH
er prizes offered. For the best individ-
ua1 general exhibit there was only one
entry, and little Miss Birdie Stokes
won the blue ribbon and cash prize
of 81. For the next prize there were
seven entries. Little Miss Hazel Myers
won the blue ribbon with cash prize
of 81 and Master Jesse Tuggle won
the red ribbon and 81. Miss Annis
Horne, the teacher of this grade, is to
be especially commended for the excel
lence of the work done by her little
pupils.
The exhibit of the First grade work
was rather inconspicuous owing to the
fact that In most cases the pupils in
this grade have never been to school
before, and Miss Hentz was not able to
accomplish as much in three short
weeks as the other teachers we're with
their seasoned pupils. These little fell /
lows, however, got up some splendid
number work, spelling and specimens
In writing. We have great faith in

The exhibits Of the Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth grades were all of
a similar nature, consisting of num-
Der work, language work, map draw
