Display of Great Merit Made at Con-
 verse Gallery-AIse Fine Work By
 Academy Pupils
 The twenty-secend annual exhibi- l ton of work by the students of the Norwich Art school and of the Academy opened Friday evening at o'clock at the Converse Art gallery with 8 large attendance. The building was attractively decorated with laurel and foliage in graceful masses of pink and green, Miss Gregson, Miss Young and Miss Bartlett having this in charge
 Though perhaps not occupying so much space as sometimes happens, the exhibit makes up in quality-especial- 1 ly in the case of the Academy work. Considering the difference in age be- 1 tween them and the art students and 1 the necessarily limited amount of 1 time devoted to art work, they make very creditable showing. which compares well with the work in the school.
 Work of Academy Glasses. The lower floor shows the exhibit of the four Academy classes These have been taught by Mrs. Guy w. Eastman and Miss Aida Watrous, Mrs. l Eastman giving instruction in the de- 1 sign work and Miss Watrous in the drawing and color work. The Ju l nior class work has included flower 1 studies and still life in charcoal and | color. One scene shows work in l perspective advancing from the prin- ciples to their application in pictures of houses. The copies of Japanese prints in color make another interesting screen.
 Voted the Best. By vote of the class the first place in this work was accorded Annie l.. Peabody; the second was tied between Susie Gallup and Isabel Bacheler and the third went to A. E. Brown. Pottery is New A new thing in the art line this year is the work in pottery and quite a little is shown in the Junior room of very good shapes and build. With the Junior work and showing the re- suit of the four years instruction by contrast is placed the Senior exhibit which consists of two large screens filled with fruit studies in pencil and water color and with still life in pastel. The design work of the Seniors is shown in the room near the entrance Metal work was taken up. Copper bowls, sconces, trays, jewelry and bu- reau sets have been made.
 
 The scholarship in the Art school from the Senior class was won this year by Miss Henrietta Browning. In the same room with this design work is placed that of the Upper Middle class. A screen of pastel still life is especially good and one of outdoor sketches shows the spring work in color, besides plant studies and draw ings. Design work in flower borders leather work and embroidery designs are included, as we'll as pottery vases and library table designed and exc cuted by Andrew Boyd. Across the hall similar work is shown by the Lower Middle class in pencil and pastel There Is also screen of models and one of colored designs De- signs for cards and book covers are among these.
 Designs worked out in embroidery make pretty showing-a collar very dainty.

 ChiIdren's Class and Art School.
 Upstairs is the exhibit by the Chil- dren's class taught by Miss Watrous and the regular art school work un- der Mrs. Eastman. The children's work is especially good this year. Flower studies in color and pencil, charcoals from still life copies from still life, craft, work and modelling have been done,
 The modelling was followed by prac- tical application in the building up of pottery tiles by hand from original designs and some excellently formed tiles resulted. Good work was shown in free hand brush work of flowers in color. In the brass work one noticed a pair of library book ends on a stained foundation, made by Abby Gallup.

 General instruction Given.
 In the Art school this year there have been no special lines of work for classes of students, but each student has had instruction in all the subjects taught. This gives more va riety and less excellence in any one line. The screens show work in de- sign, preparatory, life and sketch. color compositions and antique. The design drawings show ornament color and applied designs.

 The prize for best designs was given Miss Grace Lester Miss Bart letts work in general design is also good and she excels in the flower studies. Miss Katherine Mallett takes the prize for the sketch and life class. These quick sketches from one half hour poses are new thing this year They are used later in the compost ton work.
