FANCY EXHIBIT
 OF SCHOOLS IS
 NOW ON DISPLAY

Last night marked the opening of the exhibit of the Juneau public schools. The Council Chamber of the city hall has lost the dignifed ap- pearance which usually characterizes 1t and has assumed an air of gaiety and has donned a festive attire. The
 display from the various grades aRd
 from the high school is arranged on long tables on which are placed racks
 which permit of the fullest view of
 the work. The exhibit is so display
 ed that the visitor may begin with
 the work of the first grade and so
 rom that to the finished work of the
 high school senior, noting the i'm provements and progress which the
 pupil makes as he advances step by step upon the unfamiliar pathway
 It is scarcely possible in a short account to adequately describe the exhibit in its entirety An hours visit to the Council Chamber will, however. amply reward the rushed business man and give him a better conception of what the public schools are doing than he could gain by spending several days in an lnspec- tion of the schools while the school machinery is in operation.
 There are several features of the display which merit special mention. Prominent among these is the hand work of the first four grades, which consists of free hand cutting cray on work sewing cards, basketry, reed work, etc. The alphabet booklets and community pictures of the first grade attract particular attention. The second grade sand table work consists of a miniature city of Hol- land, with It's wooden.shoed lads and lassies. geese tulip beds, canals, dykes. and, windmills The basketry work of the Srd grade and the ham, mock weaving of the fourth grade appeal to those who believe that 1t is the function Of the public school to train the hands to do useful work. Likewise the language booklets and arithmetic notebooks and tests of these grades make their appeal to those who consider the other side of particularly
 The display of the upper grades Of the elementary schools consists of written material from each subject. test papers, booklets, map work, art work. etc. The product maps of the fifth grade and the history of Alaska booklets of the eighth grade deserve specal mention. The art work of the upper grades which is under the di- rection of Miss HelIenthal is Q prom Inent feature of the exhibit This branch of study was introduced into the curriculum at the opening of the present school year and the showing Is remarkable when this fact is talk pm into consideration.
 The special features of the high school exhibit are the work of the sewing class under the direction of Miss Scott and the display of the mechanical drawing class under the direction of Miss Wilson.
 The exhibit room was open today rom three until five and will be open sd tonight from eight to ten o'clock. The teachers will be ready to re- ,elve visitors and to explain any of Inc details of the work
