The Virginian of Virginia, Mimi,
has the following comment in re-

"That the manual training depart
ment of the Virginia public schools
is doing first class work can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
anyone who cares to view the ex-
hibit of the fourth, fifth, sixth, sew
enth and eighth grades and the high
school shown inthe office of the SUI
perintendent in the technical high
school building. The exhibits are ar
ranged according to grades and
show the splendid results attained
in fitting the boys and girls for use
full mechanical work. There are po-
tato Washers, umbrella stands, Ia
bles, picture frames, remarkable
turned work, and set of mechanical
drawings made by members of the
freshman class which Professor
George B. Titon of the state univer-
sity pronounced the best produced
by any school in the state. The
freshmen also did some first class
joining. A table constructed by the
freshmen and one by the eighth
grade could scarcely be surpassed in
the best factories. Fred Wong, a
Chinese student, did some excellent
work" Mr.. Johnson was formerly
an instructor in Kasota high school
and Mrs. Johnson was for several
years teacher in the grades, and
are both remembered as excellent
teachers. Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
