SCHOOL cHILDRENs EXHIBIT.
Good Display Of Their HandiwOrk Shown
at Church Street School.


Thumb nail impressions Of the county
fair, the industrial arts exhibition II
miniature aud a tabloid of the home eco
Monies display and food fair are agree
ably brought together in the school ehil
dren's exhibit under way In the Churet
street building, Johnnie and George and
Robert. with their fine showing OF me
ehanical and decorative drawing, carpen
tering that Is far from amateurish, gar
dening and poultry breeding are having
the half of the show all to themselves Sc
far ss the glory goes, while pretty much
all of the rest of the exhibit wherever
premium is placed on capability Ia divid
ed among Mary, Katie and Phyllis. Peo'
pie began To crowd the exhibition halls
last evening when the door swung open
NJ 1880 o'clock and il looked this morn
ing as though the young hopefuls would
occupy the center of the stage to-day, as
the exhibition, opening again at o'clock,
will not close until late in the afternoon
Folks say of the affair that IL is big
success. They are a long way from be-
ing even half wrong. Measured by the
attendance, il is a moving success, but he
who Judges of the exhibit merely by the
crowd il attracts has missed the kernel,
Its real virtue lies in the fact that in
terest among the children has been so
stirred up and then maintained that tan.
pible proof of the exhibits practical
aspects is everywhere at hand. Mary,
Katie and Phyllis, with their baking,
brewing and mending, and Johnnie,
George and Robert, with seemingly un-
ending display of their handiwork, are
having their innings and enjoying them,
too. Foremost among those who are
sponsoring work of this kind among the
school children of the city are the mem
bers of the Woman's club and they are
ably seconded by the teachers in the city
schools. Then, too, persons outside OF
both spheres have become inoculated with
the spirit of the work and they have CO.
operat, d to the extent OF their ability.
Four spacious schoolrooms are reserved
for the exhibits and all are well filled.
On the ground floor one room is given
over almost wholly to the poultry ex-
hibitors and on the same floor is room
where the vegetable and flower exhibits
are arranged. Upstairs the drawing de-
partment the boy scouts and the mem
bers of the canning club have a room.
Elsewhere cooking, canning, candy, sew
ing. embroidery, tatting and erocheting
are shown Last night the Judges com
pleted their examination OF all but the
poultry, vegetable and canning depart
ments, and the work was continued tins
forenoon Almost any corner OF an ex-
hibit room resembles a whole section in
the familiar floral hall at the county fair
and the exhibition as a whole has that
well known adjunct OF the countryside
show place standing several leagues in
the background Every specimen is la
beled and at. the height OF the exhibition
the name of every prize winner will be
attached
This forenoon at 10 o'clock the work
of distributing the prizes began and,
needless to say, there was an eager
crowd Of young people on hand TO re.
eeive the awards Supt. c. Fl. White OF
the public schools. assisted by number
of the-hiph school teachers, was in charge
of the distribution. Members OF the
Womans club were assigned to the dit
ferent rooms to explain the exhibits to
A small admission fee is charged
thering the work so well begun.
Mention should be made of the splen-
lid showing made by the boy scouts as
we'll as the campfire girls and the North
Barre clubs. All have taken a deep in
terest in the success of the exhibit and
their contributions have figured nightly
