A Fine Display.

An exhibit of the handiwork of the
manual training, domestic science,
drawing and penmanship departments
of the public schools, shown at the
Child gym. Friday afternoon and even
ing, claimed the attention of several
hundred of our citizens and to very
many proved revelation in the work
that had been accomplished by the pu-
pills under instruction. Under the COM
petent teaching of E. S. Lamoreaux,
considerable improvement was noted in
the work turned out by the grades and
high school pupils which was on dis
ay--dining room tables, parlor tables,
Morris chairs, davenports, pedestals,
book cases, bullets, rocking chairs and
dining room chairs, hat and coat racks,
waste paper baskets, book and news
paper racks, piano stools and music
racks, cedar chests, writing desks,
sleds, ironing boards, reading lamps
and many other various small articles.
In connection with this there was the
mechanical drawing which was eXhib-
tied on the WALL The variety and ex-
cellence of most of the work was really
commendable.
The domestic science department also
gave an exhibit, showing needle work
that attracted much attention. The
demonstrations of the cooking classes
were where excellence seemed to
thrive. Dainty lunches were served
the visitors during afternoon and even
ing at a moderate price that brought in
a revenue of S32 to be devoted to fur
Their equipment of the department. Too
much credit cannot be given Miss Anna
Hoen for the success she has reached
in directing the work in this depart
ment.
The drawing exhibit was given in the
old eighth grade room in the grade
school building. All the grades from
the first to the sixth were represented
with drawings and paintings which had
been accomplished during the past
year Much credit is due Miss Mae
Stevens, the efficient instructor, for
the splendid work done by the children
under her supervision.
Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st.
Memorial Day, not a holiday, but
rather the National Holy Day, will soon
be here.
The one day of all the year when our
thoughts are especially centered upon
the brave and loving sacrifice made by
our Bows in Blue during the dark days
of the rebellion.
OF all the beautiful days of the year,
the Grand Army of the Republic claim
only one for perpetuating the memory
of their fallen heroes, and to them 1t
| should be consecrated as memorial to
| their bravery.
Let us give cheerful and loving as
| sistance in the observance OF the day
dedicated to our dead heroes.
We earnestly seek the cooperation
| of the citizens of Edgerton in the prop
er and sacred observance of Memorial
Day. AS we have done in the years
gone by, so shall we continue to per-
form this solemn duty as a loyal SER
vice rendered from loving hearts.
Let US show our interest in the day
| by displaying the flag from our homes
and all public buildings. Do this IN
memory of those who gave their lives
a willing sacrifice on the altar of patri-
otto devotion. Let there be an attend
ance on Memorial Sunday morning,
May 30th, at the M. E. church surpass-
ing any preceding year, and an assis-
lance on Memorial Day, May 3lst,
which shall remind the Grand Army of
| the Republic that America cannot for
get the sacrifice of her patriotic dead.
