Some Of the Greatest Masterpieces
In the World.
The teachers of the graded school
have arranged to have an Art Ex-
hibit in the Library and auditorium
from Wednesday. November 29th
to Saturday, December End. 200
pictures from the galleries of the
Horace K. Turner Company will be
exhibited. twill be worth the time
and great deal more than the small
admission charge for every man,
woman and child of Scotland Neck
to see these pictures. They are re-
productions of masterpieces that our
people will doubtless never have an
opportunity of seeing again unless
they visit the art galleries in some
of our largest cities.
Art Exhibit Catalogues lllustrat-
ed by half-tones and colors may be
secured from children who have
been appointed from each grade to
sell them, 1Cc each. One of these
catalogues should be in every home.
They are educative in themselves as
they give the history of many of
these famous pictures.
The purpose of the exhibit is to
raise money to buy pictures for our
class rooms and halls. We have a
beautiful new school building, but
children can not be taught the high
est ideals surrounded by bare walls.
We trust to have the patronage and
cooperation of all parents and
friends of the children.
Printed below are some press
notices from cities where the Exhi-
bit has been held.
The fine arts exhibition of the sea-

collection admirably illustrates the
purpose. The Subjects are well
chosen. and indicate how rich va
riety Of material is available. The
landscape photographs of American
scenery are particularly good, and
the views OF Moor;;i. architecture
are the most beautiful ever show 4

The exhibition Of art photographs
which opened in City Hall this morn
ing represents the finest thing in
this line which has ever visited
Springfield, and merits good at
tendance. Springfield Union.
Without a doubt one of the finest
art exhibitions ever presented in this
country is that to be given in the art
gallery of the Rhode Island school
of Design during the coming week.
An opening reception was given last
evening, to which all persons holding
season tickets were admitted, and
very many people throughout the
city who are especially interested in
art took advantage Of the opportun-
ity to enjoy quiet inspection of
this admirable exhibition.
Those who visited the gallery last
evening were struck with the beauty
and artistic merit of the scene pre-
sented.
All the pictures are reproduced
directly from originals by the most
scientific and modern methods of re-
production.
They are all illustrative of objects
of worldwide interest and of great
educational value. and especially
suitable for schoolroom decoration.

Genuine artistic merit is the quail
ity for which the pictures have been
chosen, their value as an aid to gen.
eral school work, although great in
some cases, being a minor considera-
ton. Old masters as we'll as modern
artists are representatives. York
