HOWARD ACADEMY'S
FAIR EXHIBITS

Visitors at the recent Marion Coun-
ty Fair who CHANGED to see the splen-
did exhibits of the colored citizens in
the agricultural and industrial build
ings set apart for their exhibits by
the fair association must have been
especially impressed with the exhibits
of Howard Academy.
Howard Academy is the largest col
ored school in Marion county, and is
located in this city. 1t has an enroll
ment of nearly 600 pupils, with Prof.
J. d. Mccall, a man of wide exper-
fence and ability as principal, who has
served the position for nearly twelve
years. Assisted by a strong faculty,
the work accomplished under his
supervision has given it first place III
the state as a public school and those
who saw their exhibits at the fair are
heartily of the opinion that they de-
serve the place which they fill.
The exhibits in the manual training
department in charge of W. C. Rog-
ers, consisted of dining table, buff
fet, cabinet, a bird house, a num-
Der of chairs and large collection of
other wood work exhibits which COM
manded the attention and favorable
comment of several finished workmen,
besides winning several prizes.
The domestic science department, in
charge of Petrona Bonner, consisted
of an abundance of cooked food, a
buffet filled with cakes, pies, rolls,
cornbread, biscuit, candies, etc. The
several pound cakes all drew first
prizes, making a total of eleven
prizes in all, of which nine were first
prizes.
A fine collection of articles in the
sewing department added to the beau
tiful display of the general collection
of exhibits and won several prizes.
The educational department con-
sisted of free hand drawing, essays,
poems, etc., maps of Florida, the
United States, Europe and of Marion
county by G. Kenneth Butterfield at
tracted much attention and were
among the prize winners. Another
map of Florida by Lee Miller was also
an attraction and a prize winner.
The prize for the best junior high
school of the county and a prize for
the best general collection of ex-
hibits were both taken by the acad-
envy. A total of all prizes amounted
to about sixty. The principal and
faculty are both grateful and proud
of their success. Members of the
school board, including the county
superintendent, expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the ex-
hibits, and both the faculty and stud
ent body will return to their several
posts of duty inspired to do more and
better work.

to their patrons that admission to the
