Exhibition in First Floor of Main
Street School This Afternoon Shows
Results of Pupils Work During
Past Summer.
The first exhibit of the members of
the Brattleboro Home and School In
dustrial league was opened at clock
tins afternoon in the rooms on the first
floor of the Main street school building.
Owing to unusual circumstances it was
impossible to have the exhibition open
more than two hours, which prevented
many who otherwise would have visited
it from doing so.
The late opening of the schools set
back the time for the exhibit at least
two weeks. AS many of the exhibits
are to be sent to the state exhibition at
Burlington and must be there before
noon Monday, it is necessary to pack
them and ship them so that they will
leave on the $50 train this evening.
Others are to be sent to the New Eng
land exhibition at Springfield and like
wise will have to be shipped this after
noon.
The vegetable exhibit is very large,
including handsome specimens of Hub
bard squash, carrots, tomatoes, turnips,
beets and potatoes.
In another room are coops for the dis
play of poultry and eggs and the boys
and girls in this particular club are
showing some fine specimens.
The cooking and canning exhibit is
another large and very fine one. The
judges this morning spent much time
over that exhibit and so excellent was
it that the judges gave some special
prizes of their own, for they found it
hard to make distinction between some
of the exhibits. The canning display
was another very tempting one and the
judges agreed that it equalled the work
of older and experienced housekeep-
ers.
The display of pictures taken by chill
dren was not so large as some of the
other departments, but it contained
some good views.
The judges of the sewing found some
difficulty this morning in classifying the
work shown, for it was of exceptional
merit. The exhibit of pressed flowers
had several collections that represented
hours of painstaking toll on the part of
the exhibitors.
In all between ESQ and 800 children
have exhibits, including almost the total
present membership of the league. The
leaders are much pleased over the show
ing, considering that it is the first one,
and believe that the rooms in use for
it today will not be large enough to
contain the display to be made next
fall.
