among the best. The test papers on
physiology, language, arithmetic and
spelling make good showing as do
the maps and the compositions on the
causes which led up to the civil war.
A nature sheet in the fifth grade is
excellent. Such things should receive
special mention for the fact that they
teach young people to take special
notice of everything in nature and to
study the commonplace things every
day. There is box of butterflies
and beetles and many other things
such as can be found by children in
this country at almost any time if
they are taught to look for them.
School No. 40-Miss Ethel Suter,
principal. In this display the Easter
cards, Thanksgiving cards, maps and
nature drawings are all good.
School No. 35-Miss Annie McMil-
Ian, principal. Here may be seen
some of the most beautiful drawings
made by the little folks and illustrat-
ing the many stories told to the little
people. Little Red Riding Hood is
beautifully illustrated by hand
sketches and the color drawing is ex-
cellent.
New Grammar School-Mrs. w. H.
Crawford, principal. This is one of
the new schools and has been in OPP
Grafton only about month, but the
showing already made is highly cred
liable. There is a good display of
wood work and the Liberty Bell
sheets are well prepared.
Pensacola High School-Prof. Cole
man, principal. The drawings here
displayed show that this school has
some most excellent talent among its
scholars. There are several manu-
featured articles representing instru-
ments used by the Romans in ages
past. One of these is an implement
of war called a balista. Another is
system of states covered with wax
illustrating the tablets which the Ro-
man school children had to use. State
Superintendent w. N. Sheats left his
autograph made with the stilus upon
these when he visited the exhibit. The
note books deserve special mention,
as do also the commercial papers, the
miniature aeroplane and many other
articles.
School No. 2-Mrs. E. J. Wilson,
principal. This is one of the largest
schools in the city, having five grades
and eight. rooms. The illustrations
displayed in this exhibit are all good.
The birds are very attractive and the
drawings and written work have been
highly complimented by visitors to
the exhibit.
The exhibits of the Brent and
Barth public schools are we'll ar
ranged and should encourage other
country schools to take part in the
splendid exhibit next year. Miss
Margaret Ray is principal of the
Brent school and Miss Alice Pritchard
is principal of the Barth school. These
ladies have contributed some excel
lent exhibits to the educational dis
play at the fair this year.
| The large chart made and illus
trated by Mrs. S. A. Collins of the
74th school is deserving of especial
mention and especial notice. This
chart is one of the best ever ex-
hibited in Pensacola and it was pre-
pared in every detail by Mrs. Collins
without the expenditure of cent by
the city. 1t is better than the aver
age chart purchased from the school
book companies and is so unique in
every way as to attract and hold the
/ attention of all who see it.
The educational exhibit will be WIS.,
tied by thousands of people today and
will prove one of the most attractive
and instructive features of the big
fair.
Superintendent Edwards has ar
! ranged for ice cream to be sold today
in the educational department for the
/ benefit of the school book fund now
being raised for the poor children OF
the county.
Miss Chandler, who has planned the
exhibit and who has worked so un-
ceasingly for the success of the work
was being congratulated all day yes
terday upon the way and manner il
which she has displayed every depart
4 ment.
