The children in the Graded School gave
an exhibition of their work in the school
building last Friday afternoon and even
ing which was one of the best exhibitions
ever seen here. The work of each grade
was displayed in it's own room. and the
teachers were on hand to show and ex-
plain the papers and methods. In the
first three grades drawing, weaving.
raffia work and handiwork of all kinds
showed a great amount of painStaking
and originality on he part of the child
rem. As the pupils grew older the char
acter of the work changed, and arith-
metic, spelling, geography and history
papers, original essays, map and free
hand-drawings became more in evidence.
Some of the work was made especially
for the exhibition but the greater part
was taken from their daily tasks and
was most creditable in character. One
specially notable collection was that of
the pillow covers stenciled on burlap by
the 9Th and 9th grade pupils.
