GENTLY the school has emerged from the
most successful year in its usefur ms
tory and the best argument that can be
advanced for the continuance OF TINS
free privilege are the examples, chosen
at random, Of what l43 boys and young

its third year last September.

The year Just closing has been mark
edly gratifying to the school commits
sioners and to the faculty for a diver
sty of reasons. For the past few months
the school has been without the services
OF the principal, Charles Pamperl, who
was granted leave of absence for the
purpose of studying abroad. The work,
however, has been carried on under pro-
pitious circumstances by Carlo Abate,
the instructor in sculpturing and model
ling, A. w. Youngson, teacher of adj
vanced work in draughting and l.. W.
Bishop, who has had charge of the ele
mentafy classes. Comparatively little
new equipment has been purchased, but
the equipment that has been added has
been put to excellent uses.
Never before, since the school was or
ganized, has the attendance been so
large, nor has the interest or enthusiasm
OF the pupils ever been greater. In the
height of the school year the attendance
was around loo and this number did
not dwindle appreciably during the lat
ter weeks of the school term, weeks of
warmer weather when the attractions
out of doors are apt to turn the minds
Of many from the sterner tasks within
From II to Is Spaulding high school
boys have taken advantage of the
courses and this number. representing
an increase over last year. is expected to
grow. Next year the classes are to be
even larger and because il looks as
though the enrolment would be very
much greater than this year, the com
missioners are facing the necessity of pro-
yiding more ample accommodations.
One whole room is given over to-day
and tomorrow for the exhibition of
specimens in elementary, monumental
and free-hand drawing, lettering, etc.
The papers of each individual student
IRE plainly marked and carefully ar
ranged in order along the walls and
benches In another room are exhibited
plaster models, floral, frieze and panel
lesigns. Early and late Gothic sculp-
lures, Ionian and Corinthian architect
lral specimens are reproduced in plaster
or molding material with rare faithful !
ness. A section of the room is also Civ
m over to specimens in advanced draw
ng that are worthy of more than pass
ng note. All citizens are urged to show
hat the school has their hearty support |
