Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-05-25

and numerous other bits Of cabinet
work that defy any inspection close
enough to show faulty Workmanship.
Mr. Horning said that the boys
were growing more and more into the
cabinet work in the manual training
classes, but that his pupils were still
doing IA lot of mechanical drawing
work.
Some of the boys" said Mr.. Horn
ing, have recently left us at the end
of the second year of their mechant-
cal drawing classes to fill $50 and $50
a month positions"
OF all the work on exhibit none
has attracted more attention than the
display Of industrial arts by the little
folks Of the second grades.
This is the first year of industrial
arts in Tulsa schools" said Miss
Remington, supervisor Of art and !
am immensely pleased with the re-
suit"
Miss Remington then exhibited
bunch Of formal japanese gardens,
built on sand tables, with cherry bios
SONS, pagodas and jinrikashas COM
plcte. Even the japanese ladies. with
fans and parasols and the funny little
Jap men are there in holiday attire.
Some are modelled of clay and some
constructed on clothespin skeleton,
Uut all are very llic-llkt,
Almost Unbelievable.
Robinson Crusoe is represented with
all the details of his primitive eff
cheney and the cave dwellers ana tree
men glare with hostility upon the
AZtocS who live next door. Play
grounds, tennis courts. mcrry-go-
rounds, circus tents. with animals on
parade aud Maypoles, with festive
cardboard figures, all attest to a skill
OF baby fingers almost Incompetent
sib,e to those who have not worked
with Young children.
In the higher grades where design
ing and free-hand lettering are taught
some OF the results are equally aston
ishing. All the designs tend to show
patriotic motives, and the Stars and
Stripes, Uncle Sam. and our allies
flags are much in evidence.
Bookbinding is also "A new depart
ure this year. and the children cor
relate their industrial arts and studies
in literature by binding up their es-
says and book reviews. In the writ
ing classes. under the supervision OF
Miss Xclma Glenn, the same sort of
correlation takes place. After the
children read that Life Is real, life IL
earnest" they write it.
Maybe He Likes II.
One small boy in the third grade
seems to have turned himself loose
in a perfect orgy of ham, ham, ham,
having written the word beautifully
about one hundred times. Probably
someone had just told him that ham
was so cents a pound.
At the entrance. armed with many,
many sanitary drinking cups sits Miss
Myrtle NJ. Hatch, public school super
visor of hygiene, who is taking advan-
tage of shortage of bubbling foun-
tains in Convention hall to impress
upon the children that they must
never, no, never drink from a cup
which in anyway smacks of a public
drinking cup.
In this connection Miss Hatch earn
estly explained that she had not COM
planned OF the drinking facilities fur
nishcd to the children during the eN-
hibit, because she herself had seen
that they were perfect, but that she
had complained because the laws of
Oklahoma which forbid the use OF
public drinking cups were being
broken by the management of that
place when they furnished tin drink
ing cups to their employees and pa
irons.
The exhibit will come to a close to-
day. Tonight musical program will
be given.
Next year the exhibit will be held
in the auditorium of the new high
school, now nearing completion at a
total cost of 100000.
