In order that the hours may be
more convenient for the majority of
those who desire to attend, the time
of the exhibit has been changed from
Monday morning to Monday after
noon, from to o'clock. During
these hours patrons and all who are
interested are cordially invited to
view the written work, drawings and
so forth that will be on display in
the various rooms. Although this is
the first year that an exhibit has
been made by these departments of
the school, it is believed that those
who inspect it will consider it quite
creditable, or at least a good begin
ming. All of the work exhibited is
samples of the regular class work
saved from day to day and not work
prepared for exhibit.
The work of the home economics
: department is especially gratifying
, At the beginning of this session, none
: of the equipment for domestic science
and domestic art had been purchased
but soon a complete equipment, sufh
L cient to accommodate a class o.
twenty girls, was selected and in
stalled. This equipment included
four latest model Singer sewing ma
Il chimes, ten sewing tables, twent!
chairs, five domestic science four
= pupil tables, with complete table ant
pantry equipment, individual ga
II burners, stools and ovens. Severa
: things, such as kitchen cabinets, al
ice box and several yards of towel
/ ing were either donated or sold to tn
e school at a great reduction from tn
ordinary retail prices. Work i
the domestic science department wa
begun at once, but on account of tn
inability of the Ocala Gas Compan
IS to make the gas connections, nOthin
IS was done in domestic science befor
is the beginning of the second semester
r Home economics was offered to a
r girls above the sixth grade and owe
s. one hundred elected to take it. Wit
re but few exceptions, these continue
ut the work to the close Of the teri
with ever increasing interest. Som
ct of the girls could scarcely use
rs thimble or pedal a machine, but pei
I'd severing, they have learned to Sc
we'll and they and their mothers al
