II. SCHOOL EXHIBITION
AND Entertainment
iiandiwork of Manuel Training Class
and Needle Work and Cooking
Make Good Showing

The young ladies and young men
in the Leavenworth high school made
very creditable and encouraging
showing at the public exhibition held
last Friday afternoon. A very pala-
table and we'll cooked and prepared
lunch was served. AS a demonstra-
tion of the fitness of the girls to take
charge of kitchen this part Of the
exhibition was a success. The needle
work showing was likewise good and
showed that the girls were learning to
do plain and ornamental sewing. The
different articles on exhibition were
both useful and ornamental.
In the manual training department
the showing made was encouraging to
the parents and patrons of the school.
Some Of the work compared favorably
with that turned out by the furniture
factories in appearance, and in durability
surpassed much of that sold at the
furniture stores. The articles shown
were tables, hall racks, foot stools,
plain chairs and Morris chairs, hat
racks, and variety of other household
articles.
In addition to the articles mentioned
there were maps, drawings, landscape
sketches, portraits, many of them cop
les, but all showing good work and
some OF them real artistic merit. The
fact should be borne in mind that this
department Of our public school is
young, having been installed only at
the beginning of the present term OF
school.
In the evening the members of the
two societies, the Philomathian and
the Hi Yu Skookum societies gave
Joint entertainment in the auditorium
which was iammed full with interested
parents and public school children.
The following program was rendered:

Delegate Hale asked:
What's the matter with eating

replied Bischoff. I've no doubt you

There Is no sound objection to
goat as food" said Bischoff. 1T Is a
ridiculous prejudice. The idea of eat

reason whatsoever.
What would be more delightful
than to have the goat as a profitable
domestic animal introduced here as
food and milk to the same extent as
the COW is now used?
"A goat that 10 to be slaughtered

Il IL q mistake to think that a goat
can thrive on scrap iron and broken

1T takes q keen butcher to tell the
difference between goat and a sheep
when the two have been slaughtered
and dressed. And some shrewd butch
