ground floor, the walls were decorated
with charcoal drawing by students Of
Spaulding high school The standard Of
artistic work which students have be-
come capable of accomplishing under
the efficient supervision of the drawing
instructor, Miss Lucille Z, Grayestein,
needs no comment. In all of the other
rooms given over to the exhibition. the
drawings, specimens of composition as
well as basket weaving and sewing, were
tastefully arranged along the walls.
The artistic efforts OF the youthful de-
signers and drawing students Were every
where noticeable and in every instance
some special indication of proficiency
served to reflect creditably upon the
work of the instructors, Miss Grayestein
and Charles Pamperl Meriting more
than ordinary praise were several speci
mems of mechanical drawing

and mathematics indicated that the pu-
pills at the Lincoln school are being in
