EXHIBIT OF HANDIWORK

One of the finest exhibits of stu
dents work that has ever been shown
at the school, was placed on exhi-
bition at No. 2 School, at Eleventh
and Washington streets, Of which
Miss Matilda P. Graham Is principal,
yesterday afternoon and evening, and
will be continued all this week. 1t is
the annual exhibition and the work
shown in the exhibit consists of art,
manual training and sewing.
The parents, relatives and friends
of the pupils called in large num-
bers to inspect the display and much
praise was bestowed on the work,
while the teachers, who welcomed
the visitors, also came in for their
share of the praise.
Miss Francis Doherty, teacher of
classes ga and 5B, Is also sewing in
structor together with Miss Louisa
Flynn, teacher of classes Alb and "A.
The sewing exhibit consists of sewing
bags, aprons, coat throws, one laun-
dry bag, baby bibs, plain embroidery
and other articles. The manual
training department, of which Miss
Mary NJ. Sullivan is instructor has
on view large assortment of small
rugs, the making of which is taught
in the department, miniature ham
mocks, boxes and other forms made
Of paper etc. These latter are all
made by measurement, the children
doing all the work themselves. The
making of rugs is an art in itself and
some OF the exhibits show how pro
fcient the pupil becomes after little
teaching. In Miss Flynn's class ex-
hibit, as well as the other teachers
named, there are number of cards
of excellent art work There is one
exhibit, card of lilies of the valley,
which was much admired.
Miss Rita G. Anderson is teacher Of
classes 3B and ga. In the exhibit
Of this class there is an admirable
card Of robins" shown. which in all
probability Is one of the finest works
of art in the entire collection, when
it is considered that the children in
this class are third-year children.
Miss Edell McHenry teaches "a
and 3B. Here is shown good va
riety Of illustrative work, which like
wise was much admired Miss Nellie
! E. Devine, who teaches "a and 2B,
likewise has a very interesting exhibit
OF her pupils work. This includes
crayola work, showing coasting
scenes. This exhibit is probably a
new venture, as from all accounts
none Of the other pupils IN the other
schools has done this work.
/ Miss NJ Agnes Christy is teacher of
4 IA, the last half Of the first year class
and her pupils have on exhibition
lsome excellent free hand drawings,
as well as illustrative work.
I Miss Annie A. Shaw, teacher of lib
and Ia. the former the real begin
ners, has a very interesting exhibit
of the work of the youngsters. Here
may be seen crayola work, drawings
of spring flowers, birds, fruits, vege-
tables. etc.
One of the features Of the exhibit
Ifs that each child in the school is
represented by some exhibit.
Ronald Davis is supervisor of the
work accomplished by the children,
but the teachers are the instructors,
and the parents, as we'll as other Wis
itors, congratulated the teachers as
we'll as the pupils on the excellent
showing made.
Although the school will not be
open during the evenings, the exhibit
will remain open during the after
Moons during the rest of the week
for any one wishing to view the work.
